So this is my main song. A few years back my life was rolling along with very few bumps in the road. All of a sudden all of our friends got pregnant. Kristian and Sara announced the news followed almost immediately by Dylan and Deanie. While I was overjoyed for my friends, I also knew this was the beginning of a huge shift in the finer workings of our friendships. This song represents the support I tried to convey during a momentous time in the lives of people I hold very dear.

Some notes about making this song: the piano part is a fast little loop that I slowed down to about 25% of it's original speed. Same with the violin parts. I used a few effects to add some warmth and I spread out the bass with a sub effect.

I plan to re-record the vocals on this one soon. Incidentally, the effect I overlayed on the bass caused the speakers in my truck to fuzz out pretty much permanently. Listen at your own risk.

Lyrics: Close your eyes for a second and you're back outside. You didn't know about pride. And your dad is there at the end of the slide. Your eyes are open and you're still inside. Checking in 'cause he cried. And you'll do it again because it's your turn now. You watch him play and you catch his eye and you see your eyes looking up at you and you hold him tight. Hold him tight. Your turn now. Used to be that you thought for one. Now you think for three. You don't mind. That's how it should be. Thinking back to the hours spent watching him work. His smile became yours and you see it now when you look at your son. When you were little and you needed him, he was always there. But it's your turn now. Yes it's your turn now.
