More liner notes from the album…
This is one of the earliest songs I wrote for the album, written around the same time as “Destiny.” Although the lyrics had been written and unchanged for months and years, it had gone through several different iterations in time signature, instrumentation and arrangement. I finally settled on this version, although there are plenty other ones on my hard drive still. Since there are so many lullabies for babies and children, my initial intention was to write a lullaby for a completely different demographic purpose. That idea led to the concept of a lullaby for lovers (feel free to create your own portmanteau for a genre name). To this day, I think it has to be to one of my favorite compositions, and might perhaps be my most personally authentic song.
I hope the lyrics still carry weight. Bonus points for anyone who recognizes the album artwork (this one took the longest to create by far).
