RoughMix 131 - We're Waiting (For Mommy to Come Home)
My wife had been out for awhile and my daughter was starting to complain about it.
"When will mommy come home?" was the question. So to distract and ease the delay I came up with a little tune which is featured in today's episode of RoughMix 131 "We're Waiting (for Mommy to Come Home.)".
It did not occur to me at the time, but this is actually a tool I use in writing songs - taking something current, happening at a moment and trying to create a little melody line around it. That is what happened here. The melody, simple as it is, was sung, then sung a bit more, each time becoming a bit more polished just because that is the way this works. The first bit was recorded together with my daughter. The second bit was the first attempt to capture this on the acoustic guitar instrumentally.
I hope that this silly little song inspires you to play with simple melody, and then see where it might lead.
