From the liner notes:
Remember your last day in utero? How about your first days outside the womb? Prepare to embark on a beautiful musical journey that will take you back to those incredible days. Relive the majesty that accompanies life in utero and experience the wonder of discovery like only the pristine mind of a newborn can…
THE SONGS:
1) On The Inside (October 15, 6:23 PM)
Life in the womb. One can only imagine the amazingly monotonous ecstasy a baby experiences in the supremely protected environment of the womb. Oblivious to the entire world awaiting outside, without a care or concern. Not a single want...
2) Lullaby #1 (October 16, 5:02 AM)
Rest now, everything is about to change.
3) From The Forest, A Child (October 16, 2:24 PM)
Where was the child before the womb? He was in the earth, the animals, and the trees. Everything is connected in this manner, nothing arises de novo. From the earth we arise and to the earth we shall return. While we are here we are given a name, carefully chosen by those responsible for our existence. What does your name mean?
4) On The outside (October 16, 6:13 PM)
What would it sound like if a baby could think about the fun he or she would have running and playing along a stream on a hot summer afternoon?
5) Three In The Morning (October 17, 3:00 AM)
Of the songs on this album, this is the only one I wrote prior to this recording. I wrote this song early one morning in September 2006 on a three string guitar given to me by a new friend, Phil Draper. He is directly responsible for my introduction to lutherie and indirectly responsible for many great times and good recordings that ensued. It has always been very soothing and a joy to play; it seemed to fit in well with the other songs here. Thanks Phil. I would guess this album would not exist had we not met.
6) Lullaby #2 (October 17, 11:01 AM)
Sleep now…please.
7) Smiling In Your Sleep (October 17, 11:27 AM)
By the end of the second month, most infants will begin to smile spontaneously and without any stimuli. This is known as ‘indiscriminate smiling.’ By the end of the third month, they develop a ‘social smile’ in which they smile in response to the human voice, to express pleasure, and to reciprocate a smile. The smile of a newborn is among the most cherished things and two months seems like an eternity to wait. Fortunately, you don’t have to; watch them while they sleep…
8) Trundlin’ Monkey (October 17, 5:59 PM)
Some babies have teddy bears or thread-bare ‘blankies.’ My kid has a little trundle-tail monkey…
9) Sleep Now, Little Dreamer (October 17, 8:30 PM)
As a new parent, if you find yourself having difficulty processing the reality of this new life for which you are responsible, if you have difficulty grasping the enormity of the entire situation…look at the hands. Those tiny little hands are absolutely the most lifelike (read ‘adult-like’) part of a child at birth in my opinion, an exact small-scale replica of your hands. Amazing! You will no longer doubt the reality of the situation.
10) Brahms’ Lullaby (October 18, 12:00 AM)
The ultimate lullaby of all time, arranged for a cigar box guitar and set against the serene sounds of a calm summer night. No lullaby concept album could be complete without it. It was written by Johannes Brahms and published in 1868. Written for a friend who had just given birth, its sentiment continues to ring true in the ears of children today.
11) …Where The Heart Is (October 18, 7:00AM)
Time to go home now…
12) Jenny’s Light
Sometimes things happen that are so tragic they simply cannot be expressed in words. For me that is where music comes in. You may know what you feel and even know what you want to say but the words are nowhere to be found. Music is a universal language that flows from the heart of such intense emotions; it can convey that which words fail to express. Around the time of this recording just such a tragedy occurred; alas, there were no words. Only this little dirge. Depression is a heartless bastard and depression that strikes a new mother is worse than that. So this song is part therapy and part memorial.
Proceeds from this recording will go to help support Jenny’s Light and their efforts to raise awareness about postpartum depression. For more information go to https://www.tradebit.com.
