  6. "Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)" is a song written by the American rock-and-roll musician #DelShannon. It was written, recorded, and released in 1964. The song is in the key of A minor. Its lyrics tell the story of a man who tries to find a place to hide himself and his beleaguered girlfriend from those who abuse her. The song ends with a sequence of very high notes. The B-side of "Keep Searchin'" was "Broken Promises." Both songs were recorded in October 1964.
