Hear Her Song
I found this topic very challenging! In fact, I had decided to give it a miss but, a window of opportunity opened and I just got this done today. I hope you like it.
Running wild – come on, bless the child
Who never had a care – simply unaware – running wild
Flying free – come and play with me
What is there to fear? Say it loud and clear – flying free
She is protected – all harm deflected
And she can do no wrong – hear her song
There she goes – beauty head to toe
Who sees the good around her – our loving will surround her – there she goes
Hear her song – nothing could be wrong
There is no pretence – total innocence – hear her song
You know I love your music, Simon, and this is tender and heartfelt; just lovely. Could you post the lyrics? I found some a bit difficult to hear & the YouTube transcript offered me “Netflix” & “when I say cheese”, which I think may not have been correct 🤔.
Yes, this is lovely! Great response to the challenge. I’m sort of off the challenges at present, the subjects haven’t appealed recently, but the whole package here, the idea, tune and lyrics are brilliant!
Hi Suzanne – no problem (my wife just said the same thing…can’t hear the words!) thanks for the improved lyric suggestions too!

Thanks Ian! Good to see you out and about gigging and meeting up with Suzanne
Glad you made this in time Simon. Has a dreamy summery feel to it. Really nice. Mal 👍
Really touching – what beautiful lyrics and sounded and felt sacred – almost like a blessing song for a new born.
Thanks Mal! It’s so fresh I haven’t even heard it back enough to analyse it

Thanks Louise – I couldn’t write about my own childhood memories so I wrote about my daughter and my memories of her as a young girl….she is special xx
Gets my vote! Lovely altogether Simon. Beautiful lyrics and beautifully performed. Don’t often see you with guitar in hand. Fabulous!
Lovely song Simon. Nice chord progression.
Thanks Cath…I’m getting a bit better at playing the big ukulele – really appreciate your lovely comments.
Thanks Andy
You wouldn’t know you’d found that a challenge! Sounds so natural and melodic. Summer days are here!
Lovely again Simon. I think your daughter would love it, it’s not in anyway saccharin but a beautiful reflection of how you feel. I recognise that chair!
Thanks Alan – much appreciated
I’m sitting in your chair Rebecca!!!! Thanks for the comments
Loved that Simon
Nice sentiment in the words and also leaving plenty of space for those lovely chords to ring out. 😁👍
Ooh Simon, what a great performance. And although the vocals are a little low in the mix, its warmth still comes through. This is just lovely.
Many thanks Phil – much appreciated
Hi Julie, yes – I got the mix all wrong because the speaker on my phone is crocked. When I uploaded the file my voice was really quiet. Oh well.. live and learn xx
That’s a really strong song Simon, one of those compositions that could be played across many genres. I for one hear NIck Cave belting this out to a slightly darker style, equally I hear Neilsen doing this in a more playful way.
Thanks Kyle – kind words and I’ll take those comparisons.
What a lovely song, just beautiful!
Thank you Kris – much appreciated
Really beautiful song. Love the chords and can hear beautiful harmonies with it. Love the lyrics too. Outstanding! 💖
