Leaky Roof (2008) by Jonathan Feist
The pitter-patter of rain on your rooftop might be a relaxing sound to you, but when your old roof leaks—particularly in your three-year-old's bedroom—it is actually quite stressful. This lullaby was written about two weeks following a December 2008 ice storm, which left my house without power, heat, and water for six days. Finally, the power came back up, and we returned home, ice storm refugees no more. I composed "Leaky Roof" late at night to calm my own nerves, hoping that my son, Forrest, wouldn't be awoken by a new drip. -- Jonathan Feist • www.JonathanFeist.com
