BABY BOY 01:56
Baby boy you are my blood. My heart is true Maybe someday I can tell you, but you’re too new Baby Boy you don’t know me but I know you You’re so small. No memory, but you will soon Will you see through me when you’re tall enough to know who I am and then you’ll see I’m just a baby boy too How can they put trust in me to care for you? If it went wrong I just don't know what I'd do Once you sleep I am a fraud now I can see Up all night there’s no-one left to care for me Will you see through me when you’re tall enough to know who I am and then you’ll see I’m just a baby boy too Will you love me or resent what I cannot do? Will you judge me if I’m still a baby boy too?

about

This song started as a joke album cover (pictured above). Taking that as a writing prompt, I quickly demoed a song idea In the bathroom (yes really) and ran downstairs after to grab my glockenspiel (bells) and knock out the concept of what you are now hopefully listening to.

I sat on it for six months then dug it up, did some mild revising, and put it to tape in the last three nights.

Baby Boy is a lullaby to millennial slackers feeling a bit too old for their advancement and afraid maybe the next generation will lap them and laugh before they’ve even got out the door.

Something like that....
