——    i am just a little spark
flickering light in the dark
and the night it is so long
before you see me
I’ll be gone
----I am just a little spark
Maybe I’ll become a flame
I will share my heat and light
with everyone who stays tonight
-----I am just a little leaf
Spent my day out in the sun
I was shaken from my tree
and carried off in the wind’s song
----I am just a little leaf
And I change with the season
I have been as green as grass
and fiery red just like the sun
----I am just a little stone
where I sit, there is my home
I can watch the seasons change
around me colours carry on
----I am just a little stone
I have been down in the sea
I have watched life come and go
sunrise, sunset, earth and me
----I am just a little breeze
moving slowly through the trees
making tiny sparks grow bright
to keep them glowing through the night
----I am just a little breeze
pulling leaves off of the trees
I will help them see the world
an lift them up to dance with me
----I am just a little cloud 
Sometimes I can get loud
or just let gentle rain
fall out of me to the ground
----I am just a little cloud
and I live up near the sun
and I let her shine through me 
and share a rainbow with everyone

Sparks And Stones : Story music for kids

i would like a car
shaped like a guitar
you could drive it while I play
and just strum our day away

i would like a boat
shaped just like  goat
we could ram into the waves
and always keep ourselves afloat

i would like a room
shaped like a red balloon 
we could live up in the sky
maybe feel the clouds drift by

i would like a seat
that looked like a parakeet
with feathered wings of fluffy plumes
that flew me all around the sitting room

I’d like a banjo just for me
that looked just like an anchovy 
not too big and not too small
a banjo anchovy is all

oh i could ask for
a million different things
but all i really want to do
is sit right here, and laugh and sing
a silly little song with you

  

Silly Little Song

Well I guess things look different
When the sun goes away
I got scared by a shadow
that i made with my face
 
all i know is I’ve got minutes
that tick by like days
and I’m not sure I like the games
my imagination plays

because the only thing i know for sure...
is it’s the middle of the night

and I can’t wait for the daylight

well I guess i get nervous 
when the lights go down
and the man in the moon 
is the only friend around

so I ask him “Mister, 
could you please go away?
Can you make it tomorrow?
or maybe yesterday?

because if there’s one thing I don’t care for
It’s the middle of the night

and I can’t wait for the daylight


In the MIddle of the Night

Elephant Song

This is a song about the Snack-o-dile. He wanders around looking for snacks, wherever people are eating. 

If you don't finish your lunch, look out for that Snack-o-dile. He'll eat the crust from your sandwiches and the cheese from your cake. 

Snack-o-dile

This song came from a twitter chat I had with CBC today. I'm trying to provide as many woots as I can. Not just for me and The CBC, but everyone who hears the woots I share. You may also share these woots.

WOOT

I felt like making some dance songs lately. I made a video for WOOT, go check it out on The Little Ditties Youtube. I used to listen to 80s & 90's dance music among a million other things, when I was knee high to a bullfrog.

Simon Says

I grew up listening to pretty well everything musical. This is hidden somewhere inside. This song is from tonight. A friend on my facebook page wanted me to make a danceable song that was in the Chubby Checker wheelhouse. I tried... evidently I'm not even on the same ship. But this came out instead! 

I Got You

My first attempt at dance music. I'm not sure where this would be on the dance spectrum. My daughters love it though. This might not be universal, but if you want to see some amazing colours, dances and interpretations from your kids, put on some dance music. I tried my hand at making some electronic music a couple of weeks ago, and the reaction from the girls was awesome. Sometimes it's a robot. Very often it's whale with arms that become robots. But it's always a non stop dance party.

Orca Rock

I'm not sure what this is. My kids love to dance and I love to make them music. I like to make music in a musical fashion. Musically.

Loose Fuse

A song about imagination, but also PIRATES!
 I made a friend on Twitter  @The Whistler726
An amazing tin whistle player from Ireland!
He wrote an awesome little part and played along on this demo.
Thanks to The Whistler, and to all of you for listening!
YARRRR!!
 
The Whistler's YouTube channel is full of his perfect tin whistle tunes.
