This is for and about my son. I have written it before he was born, but now i know where it came from and what it was about. I Love you, son!
Ah, and as usual: HD is recommended for better sound quality.
Here are the lyrics:
I paint your smile to the wall once more
To make it brighter than before
All it needs is your pretty face
And a lover's dream to chase
I've lost my mind but i won back my heart
That ain't so bad, baby, for a start
Your little fingers do a funny walk
Your tiny ears hear silly talk
Maybe i am not your kind
You are mine for sure i find
I've lost my mind but i won back my heart
That ain't so bad, baby, for a start
I eat the moon and i drink the stars
Sweeter than a candy bar
I eat your sorrow, eat your pain
They have bothered you in vain
I've lost my mind but i won back my heart
That ain't so bad, baby, for a start
You close your eyes and i close the sky
Covered by this lullyaby
Into the sea of dreams you dive
I will guard you with my life
I've lost my mind but i won back my heart
That ain't so bad, baby, for a start
The video was in a way inspired by the outstanding youtuber "ournationalspace" whom i discovered just yesterday, although i do not even come CLOSE to his visual imagery and diversity. Still, his videos made me aware that i could do a bit more than just sit there and play. It was a bit of a tricky recording for this one, so i only recorded the audio, and instead of just trying to lipsink it i wrote the lyrics on paper. Although this video will surely not make youtube-history i thought it's a bit nicer than a slideshow or something.
Please check out fellow-youtuber "ournationalspace" to see how it's REALLY done. Great songs, poetry and videos there. You won't be disappointed.
Thx for watching,
all i have to do is quote steve from "stevebaileymusic" here on youtube. No one says it like he does:
"Lemme know what you think" (check out his channel,you have to hear it for yourself )))
All the best from
Luke

I like everything about this Luke... the video, the "tom waits" vocal, the perfectly played guitar, the great touch of mando like color in the background... and of course the lyrics which is what you all about. First rate all the way. -Ron
