about

When Aura's son Kai Byrd was born in 2009, she knew she couldn't escape the songwriter's obligation to pen a tune for him – but she didn't want the song to sound like just another lullaby. One night at rehearsal, she heard Andrew, Lex, and I playing with an E7 funk riff as I was testing the limits of my new Wah pedal. She thought this was a groove Kai Byrd could still be proud of when he hit his teens. So we used this semi-funk groove on the verses, and I added the big open chords in the choruses because I know Aura is a sucker for any chord with open E and B strings. Kai came to his first gig at around 3 months old, and by 18 months, he would insist on wearing his shades and doing a little funk swagger while earnestly singing along to this tune. Aura offers a lyrical nod to Christine Lavin for being the first to anthropomorphize amoebas in song.
