71. Lullaby My Sweetness with singer Rebecca Csuy

« PreviousNext »
Song: Lullaby My Sweetness
Words & Music​ by Patricia Norton
Lyrics
Lullaby my sweetness, rock me forever;
cradle me deep in an ocean of blue.
Lullaby my sweetness, hold me so gentle;
this is the song that I sing for you.

White birds winging above me,
calling wild and calling free.
White thoughts, wheeling away now;
loose and alight and afloat on the sea.

Notes: I am thrilled to announce a 3-generational podcast!!! Our daughter, Rebecca Csuy (pronounced, "Soo-ee"), was kind enough to join me to record this lullaby I started singing to myself a few months ago.... and then Rebecca managed to catch Claire, their almost 3-year-old daughter, singing it to herself the next day! (If you wanted to skip ahead to that, it's at the very, very end of the podcast, as a bonus, and of course, I would completely understand!) Do you ever sing with someone who makes you feel better about your own voice just by the way they sing with you? That's how I feel about singing with Rebecca -- her voice is so true and released -- it helps me find the center in my own in some way. I wrote this song because I'm not always an easy sleeper... so one day after a rough night, I was trying to sing to myself to unwind and relax -- and this is what came. The white birds were seagulls, making a racket outside our apartment window... and just before I fall asleep, it feels like my thoughts turn white and begin to float -- and so the white thoughts.

Songwriter Info: That would be me, so both of the websites below have stuff...

Among all the dozens of wonderful podcast episodes, this is my favorite episode of all! I might be a bit biased, because this episode features my wife, daughter and granddaughter, but really, it is a very, very special recording! I highly recommend listening.

Claire did better with the words than I did! What a treat to hear the three of you. And I'd love to hear Tom in there too!

Oh, wouldn't that be sweet to have Tom in there, too???
I bet Claire has heard it a few more times than you have!
