Liner Notes
Lyrics
I am a little hedgehog I watch as the clouds in the sky move at a ferocious speeds
Why can't my tiny feet scurry just as fast? (No, they can't)
And even though sometimes I feel so small and scared, like I have no way to shape my own happiness,
then I see a cloud, and right on me it drops a dark and heavy raindrop yum-yum!
Oh, how lovely, so lovely, when I get to fill my belly! Oh, how lovely, so lovely, tiny spines are all a-quiver! A satisfied hum in the forest rings, oh-oh!
And though I am a hedgehog, just a hedgehog, I like to think that there must be a reason things are just the way they are.
That maybe my feet aren’t made to run so fast, so the raindrops can find me oh yeah!
Oh, how lovely, so lovely, when I get to fill my belly! Oh, how lovely, so lovely, tiny spines are all a-quiver! A satisfied hum in the forest rings, oh-oh!
Moi mie oon siili pikkuinen mie kattelen kun pilvet taivaalla hurjaa vauhtia liikkuu
miksei mun pienet koivet noin kovaa vauhtia vipeltää voi (ei voi)
Ja vaikka joskus tuntuu et oon pieni ja pelottaa, ettei omaan onneen voi näin pieni vaikuttaa
mut sitten nään pilven ja mun kohdallein osuu oikein tumma ja märkä sadepisara nam-nam
ihana niin ihanaa kun vatsansa täyttää saa ihanaa niin ihanaa pienet piikit vipattaa tyytyväinen hurina metsässä soi, oi-oi!
Ja vaik mie oon siili, pelkkä siili niin aattelen, et kai se on syystä että hommat on näin
et siksei mun jalat niin täysiä ravaa että pisarat löytää mut voi, ou jee!
Comments
It's silly and maybe a bit profound, which is an excellent combination. I feel I could learn a lot from Mr McSpikeyface. Great musicianship. I really like that syncopated guitar riff between the verses. (I don't think I've ever met a siili in the wild, but 'nokkasiili', the Australian beaked version, is one of the few Finnish words I know.)
Hyvin humaani laulu. Ihania sointuja ja humaani kertosäkeen trumpetti!
How can a song sound like Kembole and yet not? It's like a children's song for adults? I like the musical theme .. and the mouth trumpet was fresh
Good to see you back, thought I'd de-Zong this one. It's a lovely little melody and well produced for the turnaround time. Now do a handful of other forest dwellers and make a concept album. :)
I love hearing the diversity in your music. This has lighthearted feel to it, that makes me happy. Good humor and still, we can read more into it as far as life goes. Still we must take time to shake off the seriousness of things, to keep our spirits content. You gave my heart a sweet little lift and a skip in my step. Thank you!
