I am waiting for the Wes Anderson directed music video for this fun song.

OMG R U RELATED TO BRIAN MURRAY!??!?!? Go Brewers (maybe he's a fan in WI?). Nice song! A great Scots-Irish name from what I understand.

Is there a story on how your Great Granddad chose the new family name??

love the chorus feel Erin-just a sweet fun one. loved listening. :)

Fun tongue-in-cheek song, that is also personal at the same time. Well done, Erin!

This is fantastic, haha I'm smiling and nodding my head as I listen.

Week 32 Prompt: No Uncertain Terms

*Note about the song: Yes, I was born a Murray. No, I'm not related to any famous Murrays (that I'm aware of). Growing up, I was asked about pretty much any Murray with fame or infamy and what our familial relation was. Two of the most common questions: "Are you related to the singer, Ann Murray?" And, of course, "Ohmygosh, is Bill Murray your dad?!" Nope, but Brian is, and an elusive man is he. 

you ask about my father
but why do you even bother
probably won't meet him anyway
you want to know my surname
from when i was a young dame
been Murray since back in the day

now before you get excited
as i see you so delighted
let me tell you in no uncertain terms:
Bill Murray ain't my father, but Brian is

Brian keeps it quiet
while talking all day long
he'll always be happiest
with the baseball game on
he's rough around the edges
and he'll ask you lots of questions
just remember, Bill ain't my dad,
but Brian is

you want to know the stories
of my yesterdays and glories
you want to meet him all the same
now you know my surname 
from when i was a young dame
been Murray since my birthing day

 Watch the video as you listen so it makes sense.

My goal when I record a new improv piece is to make you stop and listen and feel the emotion it was created with - for you to add the story that is in your head this piece would go with. So take that deep breath and hold it, because to let it out would make your tears flow. Hang your head when it is over and play it again.
