OMG this song from Lies & Lullabies gave me chills!
You need to hear this!
Guys, Lies & Lullabies is about a rock star named Jonas. And when I wrote the book, I put some lyrics in it. There's a song that Jonas wrote for Kira, called "Sweetness."
Now, usually a narrator just reads the lyrics. Authors aren't composers. I've never written any singable lyrics. I wouldn't know where to start.
Enter Tim Paige, ladies and gentlemen. He asked me if he should try singing "Sweetness."
I said, "you can try, but only if you can make the song, you know, suck less than it does."
GUYS!!!!
IT BLEW ME AWAY! I got chills the moment I heard it.
The song is part of the audio book now! But you can get a preview from this YouTube video.
“Sweetness” is from Lies and Lullabies, by Sarina Bowen. Lyric (such as it is) by Sarina Bowen. Music and musical performance by Tim Paige.
