Brother, Pop and Me

Saturday mornings we'd quietly slip out
On one of our weekend treks;
The 3 of us fishing or just on a bike ride
Or walking our old dog Rex ;
Those were the best times, the absolute best times--
Happy and playfully free;
He gave up his 'me-time';
Instead it was 'we-time' for
BROTHER, POP & ME. 

Off in the car we would go for soccer,
Pop and his two li'l guys;
Mother would watch from her front porch rocker
Waving a fond goodbye;
Now I believe what her smile was saying:
"This scene is heaven for me!".
So as she was beaming
The dream she was dreaming was
BROTHER, POP & ME.

Well,  the years have trundled by  
And they've all passed.
Still the memories of those days 
Forever last.
Life was fine, her three guys
Dad put a shine in Mother's eyes.

Now as I sit in my front porch rocker
Enjoying my golden years,
Waving good-bye to my two young grandsons
Off to their new careers;
They've had the best times, the absolute best times;
Their dads learned it all from me;
'Cause that's what I passed down,
Just what was passed down from   
BROTHER, POP & ME.

Hi Tano Music
Hey, this so well annunciated, and so ready for an added home movie. Very easy to sway your head with. Nice Job!

Really fun tune, and well told story!! This is bouncy, and so melodic! What kind of signal path did you use on the vocal processing? It may be a bit overdone but it is a cool effect. Enjoyed this great tune! Take care. Greg

I can totally hear this in an old timey musical! You did a really great job on this song.

Thanks all for the kind comments..I was thinking about my 3-year old grandson and how he would someday see his grandsons--I think that makes it a 5-generation song.

I used Nectar Elements on the primary vocal track, then duplicated that track with a 3-tick delay.

This is a really sweet song. It evokes so many fond images.

I also find the melody quite engaging in its movement and rhythm. Ill bet it was hard to sing but you carried it off beautifully.

Colorful, lyrically clever, and delivered with great professionalism.

Very, very well done.

Wow - what a tune! I absolutely *loved* your delivery on this one. You can tell it takes inspiration from 40's era crooners, but this tune has a certain modernity to it as well. I love the groove, and the vocal performance is flawless.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing smile
