Simple Things

Built around A love letter to the ordinary moments that make life extraordinary, choosing simplicity over excess. Porch Light's front-porch acoustic warmth carries the concept through indie-folk that rewards repeat listens. "The fanciest of restaurants or first-class flying through" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs content, warm, intimate. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.

[verse 1] You don't need the penthouse or the corner office view The fanciest of restaurants or first-class flying through I've seen the people chasing things that leave them feeling hollow Always one more rung to climb, one more dream to follow But I found heaven in a kitchen, flour on your face Laughing at the mess we made, in our tiny little place The radio is playing something old we both can sing And I've got everything I need in the simple things [chorus] The simple things, the simple things Like the way the morning coffee steams The porch swing creaking, the crickets singing The joy that an ordinary Tuesday brings I don't need the world, I just need this Your hand in mine, a goodnight kiss Let them chase the gold and the diamond rings I'll take the simple things [verse 2] Sunday morning, windows open, breeze is coming through Crossword puzzle, bare feet, nothing that we have to do The neighbor's kid is riding bikes out on the cul-de-sac And the afternoon is stretching like a long and lazy cat We don't vacation in the places people post online We pitch a tent beside the lake and that suits us just fine The stars out here are free and they're the brightest I have seen And the water's cold but perfect, if you know just what I mean [chorus] The simple things, the simple things Like the way the morning coffee steams The porch swing creaking, the crickets singing The joy that an ordinary Tuesday brings I don't need the world, I just need this Your hand in mine, a goodnight kiss Let them chase the gold and the diamond rings I'll take the simple things [bridge] When I'm old and looking back on all these years I won't remember what we bought but how it felt right here The warmth of you beside me, the sound of easy laughter These are the moments that I'll carry ever after [chorus] The simple things, the simple things Like the way the morning coffee steams The porch swing creaking, the crickets singing The joy that an ordinary Tuesday brings I don't need the world, I just need this Your hand in mine, a goodnight kiss Let them chase the gold and the diamond rings I'll take the simple things [outro] The simple things Give me the simple things That's all I need The simple things
