SCP #83: A Torrent, A Flood

My first song of April, and I decided to take flood as my theme from the previous day.  I did quite a lot of writing exercises but they were all ending up very serious and depressing, and I didn't really feel in the mood for a serious or depressing song. I gave myself happy flood as a new prompt and ended up writing about the moment someone tells you they love you. Perhaps it's the cheerful and simple diatonic harmony, or the swing feel, or the repetition of the phrase "I love you", but it absolutely lifted my mood after the emotional ups and downs of the past week and the chaos of Friday's flood.  

I really enjoyed playing this one, which you can probably tell from the video.  And for those of you listening from other parts of the world "gumboots" is our Australian term for wellingtons or rain boots.
