I started writing this song week one, based on the body part challenge. Feb 4th I went into the hospital for three days when our daughter gave us a scare and we thought she was coming early and then I was put on bedrest, so the focus of the song shifted to an affirmation song for both of us to keep her chilling out until it's go time! I kept tinkering with the mix and planned to redo some harmonies but I'm just throwing it up here as is. It may be the only thing I'm able to make this fawm given the season of life I'm in, so I'm glad I got it done. Loving listening to everyone's tunes this year while I take it easy!
Rose quartz curl of a girl, a rainbow cast from a prism
Hummingbird in peripheral, a tiny hope and mystery
Cocoon wriggler, chickadee nested in my watery tree
There’s no hurry don’t worry
Grow, grow little seed in me
The rhythm that we share between hearts and hands and little feet
Secret kicker, mermaid swimmer
Meet you in the light of day
The place we meet in dreams and prayer
Someday will be open air
Sleep a while my little lamb
Until the ice and snow melt to spring
Grow, grow little seed
Grow just how you need
grow, grow little seed
There’s no hurry

I love how many unusual words you've included in the lyrics, especially in that first verse. Don't think I've ever heard some of them ever used in a song before! Lovely song from start to finish.
BTW congrats on the Bjork PRF in Jan. I recognised your voice but didn't put two and two together and realise it was you until I saw Owl mention you! I forgot to vote but I was happy to see you won, as I was planning on voting for you!

Wow… I’m glad it all worked out. This is a wonderful affirmation as you said. It is encouraging and loving and beautiful. Having the backstory makes it a very powerful song. I love the sounds and the love you have put into it. May everything go smoothly from here on out! Thank you for sharing this

i love love love it -- so excited for little seed (in her own time). I love the layered (plucked?) instrument in there-- can't tell what it is but it's so nice and gentle. Lovely outro

How beautiful, I love the images in your lyrics and the vocals sound amazing. The chord choice on the “grow, grow, little seed” was a bit unexpected to me and gave it extra emotional depth. Full of emotion, it’s just a gorgeous love song! Good luck to you and baby :)

Such a beautiful song. Fantastic lyrics about life and what matters and the melody is exquisite. I just listened to The Beatles (The White Album) and this song would have made it to that given the chance.
I am so glad you found the time to make a song. <3
Peace Tangle

Gorgeous track, I was sat thinking that this was rather straightforward for you, then that chord hit on 'a tiny hope', love it! This is a such a slow-burning increase of the dynamics, it gets so lovely and ethereal by the end. Glad you were able to get this song to us! :)

This is great - and well done for getting it out there with everything else you've got going on! Beautiful vocal work throughout. Great lyrics too. Really enjoyed this :-)
