Liner Notes

#guywithpiano #brillbuilding #grandchildren

Since 2020 I've written a song for each of my new grandchildren during FAWM. This is number three. It's one of the happiest parts of FAWM, because how I feel about each of them comes out in the music.

Lyrics

Me n Ewan - dancing round the room Me n Ewan - to an oldtime tune Me n Ewan aren’t sleepy but we’ll get there soon.

Nonna’s in the kitchen singing alto on the song Sister says, Hey brother, I’m glad you came along Me n Ewan just chillin’ in the afternoon.

Me n Ewan - snuggled on the floor We’re just doin' what this day is for Reading stories and prob'ly watching Bluey again

Ewan’s got a laugh as contagious as the flu When Ewan starts laughing, well, you can’t help laughing too.

Mama’s in the bedroom catching up on rest Papa’s at the church today but I’m the one who’s blessed It’s just me n Ewan and a rocker and Goodnight Moon

Ewan’s gonna grow up strong like a mighty yew tree But I’m just happy now with Ewan sitting on my knee

Me n Ewan - dancing round the room Me n Ewan - to a bedtime tune Me n Ewan aren’t sleepy but we’ll get there soon.

I remember the song you did last year, and how it was just infused with joy. You've done it again. I could picture in my mind every line of this song - simple, cozy, and so very lovely. Lucky you, lucky Ewan♥️

Ewan has the coolest grandfather. I never knew anybody with a grandfather who wrote songs like this about them. it is such a sunny song, filled with love and happiness.

Maaaan...listening to this made me so happy. The key. The progressions. The arrangement. It's really just the entire package, Jon. I appreciate why this song came to be. I'm going to listen again.
