Brighter Than the Sun

Colbie Caillat

This 2012 pop hit from Colbie Caillat is bright, sweet and upbeat with a catchy guitar groove and percussive handclaps with lyrics reflecting all the topsy turvy emotions of falling in love: Oh this is how it starts/Lightning strikes the heart/It goes off like a gun/Brighter than the sun. A great concert showcase for your ensemble.
