Good morning everyone today on JoJo Recommends I’m featuring Sunflower Seeds by Joshua Woo.
Josh is a full time musician from Essex in the UK and one of my favourite twitch streamers! His streams are always great fun, with lots of banter and interesting live learns which is highly entertaining to watch. He plays piano, kazoo and some amazing electric guitar which I’m always impressed by. Josh streams 4 times a week on Mon 7-10.30, Wed 4-7, Fri 7- 11, Sun 3 – 7.30 all BST.

How To Listen:
Sunflower Seeds is, as the young people say, a complete bop! It is such a fantastic, catchy tune that gets stuck in your head and never fails to make me happy. I particularly like the way it changes between the verse and the chorus. It’s going to be a great song to listen to in the garden this summer with a cool drink.
Joshua Woo: “I wrote Sunflower Seeds as a message of hope for anyone who needs it. The world has been a real crazy place for a while now and instead of just pointing that out I wanted to write something that could bring people some joy. It’s very interpretative though and I’m really happy for anyone to get what they want from the lyrics.”
Lyrics:
I will take the time
Start planting the sunflower seeds
Maybe they will
Grow to watch over me
Digging up the weeds
You got to let the light shine free
Get your hands dirty
Until you can afford to be clean
I don’t want to dream
Inside
I just want to feel
Sunshine
I’ve been waiting on the breeze
You’ve been working so hard
Everybody needs some release
The night is falling
The day is landing on it’s feet
I will take the time
Start planting the sunflower seeds
Maybe they will
Grow to watch over me
I don’t want to dream
Inside
I just want to feel
Sunshine
I’ve been waiting on the breeze
I just want to see
Your heights
Planting the seeds
Of life
I can’t wait to see you grow
I don’t want to dream
Inside
I just want to feel
Sunshine
I’ve been waiting on the breeze
I just want to see
Your heights
Planting the seeds
Of life
I can’t wait to see you grow
Planting
The sunflower seeds
Planting
The sunflower seeds
Planting
The sunflower seeds
I’m planting the sunflower seeds
Planting
The sunflower seeds
Planting
The sunflower seeds
Planting
The sunflower seeds
I’m planting the sunflower seeds
