about

Dedicated to my youngest daughter, Bodhi Marsden, born June 2020.
I came up with the melody the first night I cradled Bodhi and wrote the verse lyrics in the early hours before it was recorded at White Mountain Studios. A live take of a lullaby song, with overdubbed / out of tune ghostly piano.

lyrics

Bodhi & me
Together we'll be
Ultimately trying to be
So happy, happy
To be so happy, happy

500 years
In the BC.
Wipe away tears
Under fig trees sapping, not frightening
No fighting, so enlightening

Trees are so green
Branches have been
Spaces between
Getting on with growing, you're showing
We are knowingly glowing

Bodhi & me
Together so free
Ultimately we can be so happy
Be so happy
Be so happy
To be so happy
Be so happy
To be so happy
To be so happy
