I cannot explain how happy I am that I have this. This is actually the very first take ever done. I worked out the chords pretty quick, and wrote a couple verses (I end up singing the first verse twice in here), and pow I flipped on the camcorder. This is my "Yesterday". I knew it the second I played the tape back. This is the soundtrack for Palaur. This is what plays during the opening credits. And truly what makes it perfect is the fact that it describes our situation so well, yet it can be sung to a baby. I wrote it for MY situation, and it can relate to others. I hate when writers try so hard to relate to others. I've always felt that if it does? Cool. But how does that help me? I write for me. I sing for me. Now I can perform for others, or play for others. But writing feelings and singing is truly for me and the subject at hand. And not only do the songs in Palaur show that, they're in many cases first time recordings as I was writing them.

sleep, baby sleep
close your eyes, and know i’ll keep,
all your fears, far away,
baby sleep, baby sleep,
 
hold on to me,
and surrender all your dreams,
i will guard them for now,
so just sleep baby sleep,
 
when you're cold, and you’re scared,
i’ll be bold, i’ll be here,
don’t let go, stay and grow,
 
baby sleep, baby sleep,
feel secure, feel so deep,
lose yourself, within my arms,
and just sleep, baby sleep,
 
when you're cold, and you’re scared,
i’ll be bold, i’ll be here,
don’t let go, stay and grow,
 
baby sleep, baby sleep,
close your eyes, and know i’ll keep,
all your fears, far away,
baby sleep, baby sleep...
