I created "This is life" in a bad mood. I just picked a nice drumloop and started to improvise on my keyboard and I'm very happy with the harmonies arised from my mind or hands :)

An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
