Forest Sun has regaled audiences around the globe with his wealth of songs and stories, all sung and told with back porch ease and bonhomie. Sun's music has been compared to everyone from Jack Johnson and John Mayer to Van Morrison and Bob Dylan but his unique style is entirely his own.
He's opened for Bonnie Raitt, The Beach Boys, Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Jackson Browne, Keb Mo and Brett Dennen among others and collaborations on his many records include the likes of such musical luminaries as Jolie Holland, Sean Hayes, ALO, Hot Buttered Rum to name a few.
In 2007 he was awarded 1st place in the Pacific Song Writing Competition with Drops in the Ocean, and in 2009 his song Gurus and Rockstars from the album Harlequin Goodnight was nominated for best song in the Just Plain Folks Awards.
His music provided soundtracks for Land of Saints, A Common Thread, and 5th Symphony Document.
Forest Sun has been featured on KFOG Local Scene Vol. 1 and 3 and the Japanese compilations Surf Time vol. 1 and 2.
As well as producing his own records, (Not Afraid, Plenty, For the Story, Walk through Walls, So Nice, Harlequin Goodnight and the 2010 release of the children's record, Just for Fun) Forest Sun has produced Minneapolis song-writer Alex Goldfarb, the benefit CDs Songs for Laura Vol 1 and 2 and hosted the monthly Songbird Series at the Bazaar Cafe and Songbird Radio on KWMR.
Acoustically, he tours with Ingrid Serban singing harmonies and the full band includes David Phillips on lap steel, Steve Adams from ALO on bass and Michael Messer on drums.
It's one of those album closers that's enough to make you play the whole thing through again. 'Harlequin Goodnight' is altogether a quiet joy in a raucous world.
John Davy - No Depression
"Forest Sun is now my favorite new singer-songwriter... his songs are jaunty, timeless and spirit raising, even life-affirming." Mac McDonald, Monterey Herarld
“... alt country, folk-rock jams, creating a hodgepodge of comparisons that ranged from Jack Johnson to Ryan Adams to David Gray. ...even into Bob Dylan territory ... a daunting place to tread, but pulled off with the grace of a musical veteran”
Jessica Small, Santa Barbara Independent
"... a toe tapping adventure" Matt Kramer, Pacific Sun
"Music for for bright sunny days and warm nights. For getting it on and having a ball, for dancing naked in your kitchen." CD Baby
In The Morning
Forest Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the morning
Birds singing
Early in the morning
In the morning
In the morning
Cooking breakfast
In the evening
In the evening
We're walking
Early in the evening
In the evening
In the evening
We're laughing
Early in the evening
And when the sun goes down
We'll drive the truck to town
See who's playing down
At the old saloon
When we get home
Disconnect the phone
The kids are at their grandma's house
It's just you and me alone
'Til the morning
'Til the morning
You and me
Baby, 'til the morning
'Til the morning
'Til the morning
Sleeping late
Early in the morning
The song "In The Morning" by Forest Sun is a heartfelt tribute to the simple joys of life. The song opens with the repetition of "In the morning," suggesting a fresh beginning or a new start. The mention of birds singing in the morning sets the tone for the song as the sound of the natural world comes alive with promise and hope. These lines suggest that the singer is awake early, ready to make the most of the day.
The second verse talks about cooking breakfast, which is a domestic task that sets the scene for the day. The singer is implying that life can be fulfilling even in the most mundane of tasks. The third verse shifts to the evening, as the singer and someone special are taking a walk and enjoying the outdoors. They are "laughing" which sets a tone of happiness, joy, and contentment.
The fourth verse talks about a fun night out. They will drive the truck to the old saloon to see who is playing down there. This verse implies that there is still a spark of adventure left in them, they still enjoy exploring and having some fun. The fifth verse shows a return to domesticity once again. They are at home now, everything is quiet except for the two of them. They disconnect the phone, showing their desire to live in the moment without interruption. Finally, the last line "Sleeping late Early in the morning" implies the exhaustion after a day well-spent and the anticipation of another promising day that lies ahead.

Disconnect the phone
Turn off the telephone
The kids are at their grandma's house
Our children are with their grandma
It's just you and me alone
We have the house all to ourselves

You and me
Just us two
Baby, 'til the morning
My love, until sunrise

Staying in bed until late
Early in the morning
