Glenn Stanton Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 long ago, when my daughter was very little, i would sit in the room with her while she was going to sleep, playing my guitar and singing songs (mainly mine), and during breaks we'd chat. and since she was born a genius, she had lots and lots of observations to share. no, really. so i started to play a little ditty "she's right about everything... la la la" and it would make us laugh. later i expanded it a bit into a song with arrangement and everything. after about a year of this bedtime routine, she asked "daddy, why does your singing voice sound like a dying animal gargling on gravel and mucus?" ? -- silence -- me: "hey! i have an idea, why don't i put on a CD and we can just listen?" "ok daddy"... so now, exposed to music from people who could actually sing (Jewell and Kari Jobe were favorites as well as many others), she would sing along to the CDs until falling asleep. ? anyways, here's my latest incarnation of this song. feel free to comment. BPM 102 Meter 4/4 Key G from my relics collection which is a bunch of old and new stuff - reimagined. https://www.reverbnation.com/fossile/album/312545-relics Lyrics ------------------------------------------------ she's gone and she's wondering why gonna reach on out and touch the sky she'll only sail with reason a sentiment cause she's already seen it she's only four years old and i'd tell you why but she already knows because she's right about everything sit and listen for a while she's right about everything enlightened buddha makes me smile she's learned and she's wondering how gonna reach on out and touch the ground she'll only sail with reason a sentiment cause she's already seen it and now she's some years grown and i'd tell you why but she already knows because she's right about everything sit and listen for a while she's right about everything enlightened buddha makes me smile [solo] she's right about everything sit and listen for a while she's right about everything enlightened buddha makes me smile she's gone and she's wondering why gonna reach on out and touch the sky she'll only sail with reason a sentiment cause she's already seen it she's only some years grown and i'd tell you why but she already knows because she's right about everything sit and listen for a while she's right about everything enlightened buddha makes me smile 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajan Blue Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Hi Glenn Wow - singing voice sound like a dying animal gargling on gravel and mucus - I think that's a bit mean - she hasn't heard me try and sing!!!! Personally I think your vocals are good, as is the song and story Cool Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
