song of the week
about 3 years ago i became an uncle. in about a week or so i'll become an uncle again. i wrote a song for my niece when she was born...and i have plans on doing that again for niece #2. but instead this week i wrote another song for niece #1. the song is about lisa becoming a big sister and here it is:
big sister
this song is a little strange to me because i wrote the post-verse to be a chorus, then decided that lyrically it didn't work as chorus. i wrote another chorus and started recording the song. after recording most of it, i decided that the chorus sounded weird after the post verse, and took it out (leaving the short instrumental part after the post verse). i left the "new" chorus as the outro, and think that works ok. but i think an ok song would have been a lot better if had written a new chorus and re-recorded the song. sorry lisa.
if you are interested, here is the song i wrote when lisa was born. for some reason i guess i've decided that songs for small children should have bell intros.
you can do great things

I think I like the big sister one more than the first one. Very sweet song.
