Topic: My Daughter Gifted Me A New Song Out Of Nowhere - Right There

OK here's the story behind this song. I think my 3 year old daughter
is gifting these songs to me from above somehow. It has happened again.
A song came to me suddenly and fast while spending time with her
(3rd time this has happened).

Last night I took my Daughter out to dinner for a Daddy/Daughter night
and suddenly this song came to me. I asked the waitress for a pen and
then wrote it all down on a napkin. It all flowed out without hesitation.
Later on I made some music and recorded it reading directly from the napkin.
No edits, no second guessing, just exactly as I wrote it.
I ad libbed the ending and made that up as I played.
So here it is raw and unpolished but honest. After recording it in one
take I added a harmony vocal in one take. Came together very quickly.
Song is not about my daughter but I think what sparked it was looking at
her and seeing her Mom in her and then having romantic thoughts about
my Wife!

Very good song.  I do believe you are right about your daughter providing the inspiration for the songs.  It is a very heartfelt song.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Nice work Gill. Very nicely done....I assume you and your daughter will be going out for dinner every night now if this is the type of inspiration she gives you!

Lovely stuff!

All I got, is a red guitar, three chords and the truth
