about

I released a comedy song about motherhood on Mother's Day 2023. Just in case it's not obvious that the song was a joke, I thought I'd better release a song which reflects my true feelings about my kid (ie she's the best thing that ever happened to me!).

lyrics

One hand to write words
The other to hold you

And the song that’s standing by
To be plucked out of the clouds
It is quivering in the sky
With humility and grace it gazes down
Waiting to be found

Didn’t you hear now?
Didn’t you hear?
Yeah she is here now
Yeah she is here
And didn’t you feel how
Oh did you feel?
A little hope a subtle shift
We saw that suddenly the sun came pouring in
Didn’t you hear?

One hand to make chords
Five fingers on the keys
Just the essence of a sound
Stripped of all it doesn’t need
God only knows the time I wasted
Before you came and taught me how to set it free
And when to let it be

Didn’t you hear now?
Didn’t you hear?
Yeah she is here now
Yeah she is here
And didn’t you feel how
Oh did you feel?
A little hope a subtle shift
We saw that suddenly the sun came pouring in
Didn’t you hear?

Heroes, there are none
To a dream don’t be holding on
Too tight
Don’t be sure
That you know what the dream was for
That you know what’s around the bend
Don’t pretend

just be true
To what you can humbly do

With one hand my sweet child
'cause your other hand’s a home
For this wandering heart of mine
That you rescued from the sea

God only knows the time I wasted
Before you came and taught me how to set it free
Now we guarantee
A worthy melody

Grey is Ground
by Gian Slater

Gian's intricate compositions and improvisations intrigue and captivate musicians and non-musicians alike. She lent her virtuousic voice to my songs on the album "Where the Rest of the World Begins." Emma Stephenson

This girl can write a tune, my goodness. Every time I listen to her music I am overcome with regret that I haven't yet learned to play guitar...because I know my songs will never sound like hers :( Emma Stephenson
