I took a run at this "one day simple challenge thingy" yesterday and came up with this song - presented with all the blemishes of a newborn baby
. Let's hope it's as cute! I usually practice my vocals
a lot so apologies for the many flubs.
Time spent breaks down as follows:
Lyrics/melody - 2 hours
Tracking - 1 hour
Mixing - 1 hour
https://soundcloud.com/paulcanuck/when-daddy-comes-homeWhen Daddy Comes HomeWith her old man workin' out on the rigs
Mom did her best raisin' up us kids
But there must have been times all alone in that bed
She could barely cope
But she persevered through the thick and the thin
And when we cried and said we're missing him
She'd say "It's OK - but you'll just have to wait
'til your Daddy comes home"
When Daddy comes home, tucks us in at night
When Daddy comes home things 'll be alright
The shifting ground where we're walking around will turn to stone
He'll tell us stories of the deep blue sea
His gentle voice 'll wash over me
And then we'll sleep like we never sleep
When Daddy comes home
Though Mom and Dad are no longer here
In my dreams they still re-appear
And I overcome nearly any fear
When Daddy comes home
When Daddy comes home, tucks me in a night
When Daddy comes home things 'll be alright
The shifting ground where we're walking around will turn to stone
He'll tell his story of the whale and the shark
His gentle voice 'll warm up my heart
And when I sleep - I'm not afraid of the dark
When Daddy comes home
He'll tell that story 'bout the whale and the shark
His gentle voice 'll warm up my heart
And when I sleep - I'm not afraid of the dark..
When Daddy comes home
