Song Information:
This is a song Lisa wrote using Garageband loops about 18 months ago and posted up at macJams, but ended up taking down because she was always really uncomfortable with the ooey-gooeyness of it.
She wrote this song in a moment of pure love, though, and couldn't really let it go, so she went to Jim and said, HELP. He came up with a really, fun, quirky arrangement that has taken it out of the realm of ooey-gooey and turned it into a more light-hearted and fun song. Musically this is his tribute to Sufjan Stevens and The Penguin Cafe Orchestra.
We are also both big fans of The Weepies and I thought it might be kind of cool for him to sing a second part to the song, since the original was loaded with harmonies. Note the Mmmmm-bops at the end, our tribute to Hanson!
Song Lyrics:
Oh, my sweet little baby
when the world is driving you crazy,
just remember I'm always here
in your corner.
La la la la la la la la la la.
You've had pain so undeserved,
kept so much of you in reserve.
I want to open you,
keep you safe
and help you feel free.
Free
This is love
you can fall into.
I want to show you something new,
a life where someone loves you for you.
Oh my sweet little baby,
when the pain fills you up
and spills over
just remember I'll be here
to catch you forever.
Oh my sweet little baby
when the world is driving you crazy
just remember
I'm always here in your corner
You've had pain so undeserved
kept so much of you in reserve
I want to open you
keep you safe
and help you feel free
Forever
It's you and me
in an apple tree,
K.I.S.S.I.N.G.
K.I.S.S., K.I.S.S., K.I.S.S.I.N.G.
Oh my sweet little baby,
Oh my sweet little baby,
Oh my sweet little baby.
(la la la la la la la la la la la)
(mm-bop, mm-bop, mm-bop)
When the world is driving you crazy,
just remember I'm always here in your corner.
