Day 7 – Voice of Treason

Day 7

NIGHT NIGHT

Thanks for checking out today’s act of treason! It’s Lucky Number Day Seven!

Those moments between the end of the day and our transition into slumber are negotiated in different ways: counting sheep… reading ’til sleep… sipping hot milk… swallowing a pill…

Whatever your way to surrender the day, that’s okay.

On this matter, we’ve nothing to say.

Some of most universally known pieces of music – besides “happy birthday” – are bedtime melodies like “Rock-a-bye-baby,” “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...” so on.

Sometimes a voice – even one of treason – can be something like a whisper.

THE MUSIC (SONG 7) – “FIREFLY”

“Shine tonight, above my head, around my bed..“

Written by Andrew Roman and Robert Steel

Produced by Elm Treason

Recorded, Mixed and Mastered at Realm Tones Music

Today’s voice invites you to dream… with childlike scenes, soft and serene… Where the lulling is cool, the feeling is warm… Cradled and stable and sheltered ’til dawn… Here’s the story of an Elm Treason lullaby:

“FIREFLY”

(Listen now. Dream onward!)

LYRICS

Firefly, firefly in the night with the yellow, with the yellow, with the yellow light.

How I’d like to watch you shine tonight. Shine tonight.

Firefly, firefly in the night with the yellow, with the yellow, with the yellow light.

How I’d like to watch you shine tonight. Shine tonight.

Shine tonight, over my head, around my bed.

Where you are, blinking star. Where you are, don’t go far.

Firefly, firefly in the night with the yellow, with the yellow, with the yellow light.

How I’d like to watch you shine tonight. Shine tonight.

Shine tonight, over my head, around my bed.

Where you are, blinking star. There you are, don’t go far.

Firefly, firefly in the night with the yellow, with the yellow, with the yellow light.

Shine on tonight.

Bobby explains how and why the instrumentation and arrangement matters on this song.

Andy talks about mixing for that lullabye effect.
