about
This weekend the world met Eloise and Eloise met the world. She is the daughter of friends so very dear to me. I won't meet her for a little while, but that doesn't mean I can't sing her a song.
She's a child of Maine, and the daughter of deep and mindful parents. I tried to divine the influence of her mother and father, and to summon her surroundings as I made this song. I wanted her to feel the depths of the power and magic in her world and family. Since she's a baby, I know that the words won't mean much for a little while, so I tried to put something ancient and wordless into the drone of my voice. When she's older, she can tell me how well I did.
Hi Ellie. Welcome to the Earth. Make yourself at home. See you soon.

lyrics
Every day is something new
Oh the world in front of you
Oh the colors you will name
Oh what a day
Feel the motion of the wind
Feel your stirring heart within
Heed the hour without delay
Oh what a day
Oh what a day
Here we are, we walk with you
Here we swear to see you through
Here's a promise we have made
Oh what a day
In the forest you will grow
Meet the goddess you will know
Mother does not lead astray
Oh what a day
Oh what a day
Crest the hill and meet the rise
See it through your father's eyes
See it clear and far away
Oh what a day
Feel the motion of the wind
Feel the stirring heart within
Heed the hour without delay
Oh what a day
Oh what a day
Oh the world in front of you
Oh the colors you will name
Oh what a day
Feel the motion of the wind
Feel your stirring heart within
Heed the hour without delay
Oh what a day
Oh what a day
Here we are, we walk with you
Here we swear to see you through
Here's a promise we have made
Oh what a day
In the forest you will grow
Meet the goddess you will know
Mother does not lead astray
Oh what a day
Oh what a day
Crest the hill and meet the rise
See it through your father's eyes
See it clear and far away
Oh what a day
Feel the motion of the wind
Feel the stirring heart within
Heed the hour without delay
Oh what a day
Oh what a day
