I’ve discussed the music as the ignitor, the dream-a-month spark. I have a songwriting tool kit “muse” if you will that I refer to as song Sparking”. I confess I do love every month of the year equally. Every month has cause for celebration, appreciation and seasonal wonder. When I found out that my first Grandchild would be born in February, and close to Valentine’s Day I really began to consider all of the notables in February, as the muse, the song spark. As I imagined this new life in the world, I pictured a beautiful space all around him, that I knew his parents and extended family would aspire to bring in close and share, the earth and Sky, our hearts, traditions and Home. The visual fantasy scape that filled the lyric images as I was writing felt all at once old and modern. The image of home became a place where generations that had come before ours had their beginnings which in turn brought into being all of our own dialogue with the outside and inside world. The surrounding lyrical landscape “outside” was developing to reflect ideas of creating a home and recalling a connection to a personal childhood place. When Anne and I (our story link) first talked through the visuals that she would design to become the Dream-a-Month fantasy made real scape, we agreed to allow the lullaby music to “spark” the process and from there, the outside inside lullaby lyric world was born.
