Going to Neverland

Did you know I used to be so cool? I didn't either, but I have tried some cool things from time to time. Back in the days of Ricks College and big dreams I considered myself something of a song writer. I guess I still am, but it's really been years since I've been serious about it. This song is a lullaby that I wrote in anticipation of being the most amazing dad in the world. Reality has set in since then, but I have been able to sing this to my beautiful girls, and I'm really happy about that.

Anyway, enjoy the song. I've recorded some others that I might post in a bit. And-a-one, and-a-two...

Yah I love this one. I remember when you wrote it that summer after freshman year at Ricks when you were living in Victorville, CA taking an animation class. Because I remember I made up a song about Peter Pan the exact same week as you and we didn't even plan it. Remember how you sang it to me over the phone. Ahhh sigh. :) I like the one Hanna was talking about too. It's how you asked me on our first date. I really hope you post that one too. Makes me want to post some songs, but I don't think I'm as brave as you or as good lookin' on camera. :) Love you!

P.S. You ARE a good dad. The best! Well except when you hang them by their toenails and deprive them from water for 5 days for not using good manners. We gotta come up with a less severe punishment I think.

Sometimes I wish I had some talents, and then I realize that the Hippens took them all. I like your song, man.

Used to be? Man, still are, and no signs of fading. Nice voice Seth! I never knew, although I ought to have known. You said so little at Waterford, I figured you were saving your voice for something amazing. And there it is! I liked the lyrics, too, by the way. I'll bet your children love being your kids

Great song Seth. I'll bet you're kids love it that you sing to them. That you sing a song you made up must be even better for them... or maybe they think all Dad's do that for their kids. (Mine think all Dads can draw.)

Wow, that's much better than my Monkey song. I was thinking about posting it, but now I'm embarrassed! You've shamed me with your talent.

That's quite a great lullaby...worth recording.

I go hide now.
