Little baby Yuna Growin' like a tuna Wavin' arms and kickin' feet And splashing left and right Little baby Yuna Lillian LeJeune, a Cutie if I've ever seen one Happen in my sight (Chorus) If you know about it (Tell me 'bout the waterfall) If you know about it (Tell me 'bout the sea) If you know about it (Tell me all the things you know) If you know about it (And tell me who to be) Little baby Yuna I don't wanna see ya Scrunching up your face And curlin' up your toes real tight Little baby Yuna I don't wanna view ya Waking up and spittin' up And cryin' in the night. Whatcha know about it? (Tell me 'bout a Koda dog) If you know about it (Tell me 'bout the breeze) If you know about it (Tell me bout the kitty-cats) If you know about it (And tell me who to be) (Who to be x3) Little baby Yuna I'll teach you 'bout the waterfall I'll teach you 'bout the sea Little baby Yuna Tell you all the things I know But never who to Never who to Never ever ever who to be (Life's fantastic) Tell her 'bout the waterfall (Life's fantastic) Tell he bout the sea (Life's fantastic) Tell her all the things you know (Life's fantastic) ...

about

All makeup off.

This is a song about and for my daughter to listen to. It is meant to be kinda makeup-less. The notes aren't perfect, the recording quality is mild, but I wanted to do a different sound that captured the simplicity of the early days with our daughter.

All sounds are original, which is a change for me recently.
It's hard to record with a crying baby in the house all the time. Plus, I've always wanted to memorialize my grandmother's 1950's Kohler & Campbell Waldorf upright piano she gave me, because I know I won't have it forever... or for very long at all actually.

So, I created a sample library of sorts of the piano, which is very very badly in need of a tuning, but this is worked into the music as an aesthetic. I also prepared the piano with a variety of metal, rubber, and trinkets.

I did the same for the Gretsch Kit (7 Piece) my wife got me for my 32nd birthday that I haven't done much with, until now. Some cheap hi hats that do the trick and we are cookin'.

So each and every little atom of the music you hear has been hand placed there. Neat!
