Oh Darlin’ From the upcoming album ’Cradle’ Written and Composed by Leah Song Produced by Tina Malia Performed by Starling Arrow (Leah Song and Chloe Smith of Rising Appalachia, Tina Malia, Marya Stark, and Ayla Nereo) Lyrics: Oh darlin’ Please just go to bed There is so much Waiting for your dear resting head You can harvest Hawthorn as you go Make your promise Take your dreamscape And let down your load You are waiting For sleep to come around But its not coming Slow arrival to the ground There are wild flowers Asters in your dreams You’ll miss nothing Awake is just not as good as it seems Ooooos... All us grownups We’ll stumble about the world And as we wander You’ll nest away and rest dear little girl Oh darlin Please just go to bed There is so much Waiting for your dear resting head You can harvest Hawthorn as you go Take your dreamscape And let down your load Song Story: Written by Leah Song of Rising Appalachia, this is a real life lullaby, for the real life parent in the final battles of sleep deprivation. One written about the moment when you have tried EVERYTHING to just get your child to GO TO SLEEP!! Part playful, part honest attempt to pull that final transition to rest…drifting away in harmonics and by the celebratory end, swooping us all away to an actual dreamscape.
