Keywords lullaby (48), char (5), inner child (2), 2468 (2), okurimono (2), ic42 (15)

Description the music is a gift to char. she is a generous friend. she is "charming". this is an idea from her. she spoke of the inner child. we all have an inner child. i wanted to write a lullaby. it is slow, gentle and soft. it attempts to describe wonder and curiosity. there are many things a child sees. however, this is a view from above. it is an adult with good and bad experiences of life, looking inward. it sees the inner child. there is small regret and a hopeful wish.

char wrote words and is singing. she completes the lullaby. i created a new char with choppy and paste. i changed her pitch with curves to create harmony.

please slow down. listen to everything. see the music through the inner child.

brought to you by the numbers, 2, 4, 6, 8. it is 42 bpm. it is 6/8.

Lyrics Charming (Baby)

Baby, Come to me
You will find how safe you'll be
In my arms I'll hold you near
For to me, you are most dear

Baby, I love you so
Baby, you just don't know
Baby, how much I care
Baby, my soul I'll bare
---- To you

Baby, you are mine
In all of this world you will find
Only few that you can trust
With your life, if you must

Baby, I love you so
Baby, baby, soon you will know
Baby, that I've got love to spare
Baby, baby, my life I'll share
Baby, with you

Baby, you are mine

	Unimaginable Wow! I wasn't expecting this! Char, your voice is a perfect addition to this lullaby. It really belongs there. I really love it! Funny, I've had two cups of (yawn) coffee and suddenly I'm...... so..... sleeeeppppppyyyyyyy....... zzzzzzzzzzzzz

	rabittwhole said 104 days ago
	well yes indeed .... this is a beauty. the two of you have created a wonderful track. the music is hypnotic and char's voice and lyrics top it all off with whimsey and innocent longing ... kudos folks .... i mean it sincerely ... kudos! Jack

	Roca_Atomica said 104 days ago
	Very unusual combination. And it works well. Char, your voice has a quality that reminds me of 'the standards' from the 40s. And that is unique these days. I hope you will continue to include yourself in MJ music. IC, your song is beautiful. The production is tops, and the added vocal effects were tasteful and effective. My compliments.

Wow, this is sweet
This works really well. The instrumental soundscape and the vocal complement and enrich each other really well. Char, your voice sounds really good, with a lovely kind of vibrato that adds a sense of true emotion. Can't believe you recorded this through a webcam! Just goes to show - talent will out! The lyrics are nice and light at times, and sprinkled with darker tones, like all good lullabies. The music is really good, lilting and dance-like, and soothing. Very cool. A great combination of talents. Nicely done to both of you. Peace.

	Lovely dreamlike background music to this song and I love Chars Voice with that wonderful rich vibrato making an unusual combination of sound that works really well, cheers M

	michael2 said 103 days ago
	you know, for some reason when I saw this it struck me as an odd pairing. and it is, that's what makes it genius. almost reminds me of Korean pop music, slowed down and made more introspective. i love it. great job guys.

	guitapick said 103 days ago
	Yes, Char... ...and ic: it is a very, very good experiment... I love experiments in sound...so much... You've got a sweet, strong voice, Char. Hand and hand with the music. Nice collab, people...

	Diton said 103 days ago
	Haunting I really like the vocals on this, and especially the shift from minor to major about halfway through the song.

	ic42 said 102 days ago
	more charming it is a nice compliment. i think to add char singing to this minor piece is a major improvement. the change in mode is good? it is a new experiment for me. thank you for the listen. 0x0

	Alannah said 103 days ago

	Beautiful There's a cold, but lovely feeling to this work. Very enjoyable. Char's voice sounds like a female Bryan Ferry almost. Beautiful song.

	Char said 98 days ago
	Nice of you, ghostlike presence. I listened and I got what you meant. Good ear! Your left one? Thank you from me and I'm sure ic42 appreciates your stopping by. :)

	ic42 said 98 days ago
	anti chill there is often a chill in ic42 world. however, char is antifreeze. she offers warmth to the lullaby. there is still a chill in the music. perhaps it is a good match? thank you for listening and thoughts. it is time to visit a new piece from you. 0x0

	lengold said 96 days ago
	How did I miss this? This is frighteningly amazing and beautiful. Downloaded. Thanks. Cheers Len

	Char said 96 days ago
	Thank you, Len. I was inspired by ic42's music. I guess i wanted to return the favor. No one ever wrote a song for me, before. Thank you.

	ic42 said 95 days ago
	frightening lullaby it is not meant to frighten, but instead to lull. perhaps it is char who is frighteningly beautiful. it is a great surprise to have her sing to my music. it is hoped that she will sing often now. she is charming. thank you for such kind comments. 0x0

	You did it... I am so pleased you got the lovely Char to sing on this. She is a woman of great heart, and to hear her express herself through singing is a real treat. I get to feel closer to her through hearing this. Thank you for writing this vehicle for our wonderful Char, Mr. ic42. And congratulations to you Char for this heartfelt track.

	ic42 said 83 days ago
	kokoro it is char with a big heart. she caused this music to be created. her song comes from the heart, and it goes to the heart. mr. futzpucker has a big heart as well. it is a generous compliment of the music. douzo, arigatou. thank you for such a welcome visit to a little music place. 0x0

	Char said 83 days ago
	Thank you for the gift of your time in listening. It took me several times to get used to it. The words are very simple. They came easily. ic42 was gracious to let me sing on the song and to clean the bad recording of noise. I am most grateful for a chance that I never thought would come in this life. Thanks so very much.

	futzpucker said 83 days ago
	Awaiting more May many more chances come your way. We'll all benefit...

	Richard_Schletty said 37 days ago
	Nice! Very lyrical. Much enjoyed. Good work, you two.

	Char said 104 days ago
	Thank you, Feter. My heart hurts. I don't know what to say. Ah, well...

	ic42 said 104 days ago
	it is too much it is work to create music. however, the heart must make music. feter knows this very much. the music comes from inside. char added beautiful words from the outside. it is now complete. thank you for thought and comment. 0x0

	ic42 said 104 days ago
	unexpected friends it is unexpected for me too. char is very gracious to add such sounds to the music. i agree with your thought. it is perfect. the voice is gentle and slow. it melts into the music. char is very skillful at lyrics and singing. it is an antidote for coffee. 0x0

	ic42 said 104 days ago
	rabittwhole said char hypnotized the music into a perfect lullaby. the words have other meaning. the song means many things now. it is complete. thank you for listening and comment. it is time for a big finish soon. i will wait. 0x0

	ic42 said 103 days ago
	unusual compliment we are unusual creatures. it is a compliment for the music. much effort is made to create a "soundscape", to sound unusual, calm, interesting. it is a skill you have. i attempt this as well. char complements this music so well. it is a lullaby for the soul. thank you for a comment. 0x0

	ic42 said 103 days ago
	it is a dream it is a gracious heart. char shares her voice here. moviz, you also have a great voice, and a gracious heart. thank you for listening to the lullaby. 0x0

	ic42 said 103 days ago
	it is an odd pair it works well, i think too. it is music slowed into a lullaby. perhaps korean pop music is too fast. they do not savor life if they move too fast. it was a surprise for char to offer to make lyrics and sing. and it fits well. i think that she savors life too. and so does michael2. your music is so skillfully invented. now i must listen to you again. 0x0

	ic42 said 102 days ago
	it will continue it is good to experiment in music. it is how to learn. and so much to learn. you have learned to play guitar with grace. 0x0

	ic42 said 102 days ago
	char is magic she adds magic to it. it is fun to add singing to music. perhaps it will happen again. thank you for listening, and you have magic experimental music. 0x0

	Char said 102 days ago
	Thank you Alannah. I feel badly that ic42 had to put up with my poor equipment. I am not buying anything until I know what to get and how to use it. Totally clueless!
