Keep Walking Away

This is a dream I had, turned into a short song.

Dream Catcher

The Leaf

Red
By Sara Tiemogo 

Red is my new favorite color in my head
Not blue, its another hue instead
Its red Red
Cause Red is what I see when I replay the words you said
Lyin’ in a puddle on my bed
You said You don’t love me anymore
Red Red

Blue was my favorite hue ‘til you came through and ruined it.
And we could see the grass was green caught up in between.

You made a tragic mistake
When you tried to take and break our love
Well I’ve played the fool before
Now I’m in it for more
I’ve played enough 

Mellow, my knees felt like jell-o, so I swallow and say hello
Well oh, You’re such a charming fellow, but underneath so yellow

And he could see
That we were meant 
To be in fields of green
But we were coloring 
Between the lines
of you and I

Apple Tree

Recorded at Baffo Studio, produced by Rick Denzien. 
This is a song I wrote and recorded for my daughter, Zoey. 

When I first had my baby, I really didn't know what to expect. There hadn't been any babies in my family for a long time, and the youngest kids I was seeing in my life at that time were 6 years +. So I was somewhat unaware that babies needed to "learn" to smile. Of course, there was the occasional smile or giggle which was obviously gas and not a purposeful smile. My mom used to call me (she lives 800 miles away) and ask me, "Is Zoey smiling yet?" I would reply sadly... "No, not yet." This question would be asked many many more times with the same reply. Finally, Zoey started giving me REAL smiles. :) It was the most wonderful feeling to know that she was smiling because she's happy. 
I wrote this song one afternoon while she was napping, and used to sit with her on our bed with my guitar and sing it to her. She would gurgle and coo along. 

Even though I'm more a pianist than a guitarist, it was easier at that time to play guitar for her since she was still a baby and could not yet sit at the piano with me. So, when it came time to record the song it seemed most true and authentic to the original sound to record it with guitar instead of piano. 

During the recording, you might hear me smile when I sing, "Baby's got a beautiful smile...like sweet apple pie, and Red cherries without no pits". I can remember singing this to her and thinking that it was a silly lyric, but two foods that I really love. And besides, it was a song for my infant - who wasn't at all judging of my lyrics. :) So, I left the silly lyric in place. And recorded it as is for posterity. 
<3 Mom

Baby's Got A Beautiful Smile - FREE February Download

I would describe my voice as....Kettle Corn. Sweet....Salty? 
I'm more of a songwriter than a performer. It's a delicate balance fighting with my nerves in front of people and my desire to share my songs and words. Every once in a while, I hit a groove where I feel completely comfortable, at peace, and the music just flows. And that's what makes it all worthwhile.
