Little Time Capsule

{warm fingerpicked acoustic guitar starts softly} {subtle organic string swells rise} {gentle

whistling melody} {warm analog tape hiss} I remember

the day

you arrived

With your eyes open wide to the blue

Running circles in the yard outside

Always trying to make me laugh with you

{intimate close-mic'd

vocal} And the years started

flying on by From a shadow to standing tall

(standing tall) {acoustic guitar picking intensifies}

{pedal steel swells enter}

Happy birthday, little brother of mine

May your road be kind and your light shine bright

Through the changes and the passing of time

I will always be right by your side {lush swelling vocal

harmonies} {gentle folk percussion groove} Now you're carving your own path ahead

Taking steps into the wide unknown

Keep the fires burning in your chest

But remember you are never alone

{upright piano chords enter softly}

Happy birthday, little brother of mine

May your road be kind and your light shine bright Through the

changes and the passing of time

I will always be right by your side {soaring string crescendo} {full

acoustic band climax}

Right by your side (ooh,

mmhmm) Happy birthday,

little brother

{instruments

fade to a single acoustic guitar} {final warm chord decays}
