“Due Midnight AOE”
A song about having a newborn.

I wish I had a friend on Baker Island
So when it’s late at night here I could call them
Anywhere on Earth is just a timezone
We’re up here humming Eno, the rest is ocean
We’ve got walls caked with white noise
It disappears in its way
I guess it’s fair that I missed you
but I’m sure I don’t know all the right things to say
We started taking drives that you would sleep through
We learned it just made sense to: the house was danger.
In the waiting room they called you by your first name
(Don’t know nobody says James)
You call em neighbors
It makes no sense that I’d missed you
Gets better day after day
And skin to skin breaks the pattern
And I promise that we’re gonna leave the house soon, okay?
I said there’re things I should teach you
Before the night passes by
Like how you’d never think you really have to
try so hard to tell the truth all the time
Want to help your kids experience classical music, but don’t know what to play? These are some of my favorites:
This is heavy on piano music (what I know the most about). It’s missing big symphonic moments, but I’ve found that those can be a little much to have on in the house.
