Music and Lyrics by Rick Burch. I wrote this for my Bro-In-Law, Clay, and his two daughters.  Inspired by the true story of a banana found on his front porch one fine day. :) Bananas really are everywhere, people! Thank you to my wife Gretchen for singing backup. You're awesome!

Banana Song
====================
I found a banana. I found a banana on the floor
I found a banana. I found a banana by the door
Don't mind if I do. I'll share it with you

I'm singing my banana song. Won't you please sing along
Sing my sweet banana song with me.
Every little monkey get a little funky by
Singing my sweet banana song with me, with me

I see a banana. I see a banana on the wall
I see a banana. I see a banana in the hall
Everywhere that I go I see 'em high and low

I'm singing my banana song. Won't you please sing along
Sing my sweet banana song with me.
Every little monkey get a little funky by
Singing my sweet banana song with me

I'll eat it hot. I'll eat it cold on a plate or in a bowl
Baked in a pie or with ice cream with chocolate & peanuts & everything

I found a banana. I found a banana on the chair
I found a banana. I found a banana over there
I didn't know if it was good or bad but it was the best I've ever had

I'm singing my banana song. Won't you please sing along
Sing my sweet banana song with me.
Every little monkey get a little funky by
Singing my sweet banana song with me, with me, with me
Sing a little song with me

Weapons of Mass Distraction

You are listening to an original song by Emily Kate Boyd. The lyrics were directly inspired by a conversation between Krista Tippett and John O'Donohue.  

"O Sweet River"
by Emily Kate Boyd

O Sweet River,
Carry the memory of her pain
To the wind-tormented sands
Of the sea

These days so restless,
Rich and unsatisfied,
Like the sorrow of a king
Ruled by his endless, lonely nights

When every idea comes to mind
On the back porch seems to die,
O Sweet River, stay alive
Stay alive

O Sweet River,
Will you remind me of the night,
I was humbled and took the shape
Of the mist, the well, the lake?

When my tears fell upon her face,
I was humble
Formless
In her grace

Teach me to trust this and keep faith
As I surrender to this place
Dissolve the hard and entangled shape
Of my fear

I’ll be grateful, I’ll be kind
And I’ll keep good love on my mind
I’ll be grateful
Kind

All my love, all my friends
All I need in good hands

All my love, all my friends
All I need in good hands

In the Woods

O Sweet River

From Sun Tower V, this song explores how stress in the workplace impacts others and effectively takes on a "Life of its Own".

Down The Line

I'm making an eleven track studio album of original songs at the moment. Today I wanted to do a few bits of recording that I'm able to do in my home studio, that get added into the "proper" studio mix, but I spent the entire day doing admin for the album; emailing and phoning the musicians, producer, engineer etc to arrange recordings, payments, rehearsals, etc - a totally music-less day. I can see why musicians have managers! So feeling pretty frustrated tonight I picked up my guitar and just wanted to play and sing something, anything, that wasn't one of those eleven songs. I love this song - it's a real handful in every way, took me weeks to learn and it has totally gotten under my skin. I never tire of listening to the incredible original. I perform it live a bit but have never played it straight through without making a pretty major stuff-up - this time included! So I play it differently every time. A curly customer of a song but such a good 'un. I thought I'd press record, finally, for the first time today. It's just one take and as usual the song got the better of me but it's not the kind of song you want to perfect and fix, so I hope you enjoy it anyway. Thanks heaps for stopping by to listen. Steph :)
