This week I found out I am going to be an uncle so I decided to write a lullaby to my future niece/nephew. I enlisted the help of my all time favorite singer Yalda Zamiri who I’ve been singing with since I was fifteen. We wrote the song together at her place in San Antonio, but I didn’t have my camcorder with me so we recorded it on her iphone. The sound is a bit soft. You might want to use headphones. We wrote the song as if we were parents singing to our little bundle of joy.

INSPIRATION:
I really wanted to give a message about how much hope for the future a baby brings into a parent’s life. Children are your only shot at immortality. Well according to Stephen Sondheim it’s CHILDREN & ART. I’m trying to cover the art part, while my brother can carry the children part. :) I wanted to tell the little baby the same things I would tell my students when I was a teacher, that they can be anything they want to be as long as they try hard enough.
