about

Series Notes:
All the "Home Sessions (Raw Singles)" series of recordings follow the parameters of making live music. Each song is performed and recorded live, in one take. Sometimes other musicians join in on the song, sometimes Daniel plays and sings alone. Either way, there is only a single track, no doubling up, no layering.

Sometimes I can't sleep, and these are the times I write some of these songs. Recently my 5 year old daughter couldn't sleep either, so while we were both staring into the dark I wrote this little tune and sang it for her, and somehow it put her to sleep, and me as well. Like so many kids' songs, it's a bit dark, and happens to be about what will happen to you if you don't sleep.

lyrics

The wolves and the critters come out when the sun goes down
If you don't go to sleep you ain't gonna hear a sound
So hush little darlin' lay down your sweet head
You ain't no good to me if you are dead

The wolves and the critters come out when the sky goes black
If you don't go to sleep there's no coming back
So hush little darlin' lay down your sweet head
You ain't no good to me if you are dead

The wolves and the critters come out when the moon is bright
If you don't go to sleep you ain't gonna see no light
So hush little darlin' lay down your sweet head
You ain't no good to me if you are dead

So hush little darlin' lay down your sweet head
You ain't no good to me if you are dead
