Don't Be Shy 02:22
Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by And don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by chorus- On by on by on by on by on by on by on by on by on by on by You know love is better than a song Love is where all of us belong So don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there chorus You're there, You're there You're there, You're there, You're there You're there, You're there You're there, You're there You know love is better than a song love is better than a song love is better than a song love is better than a song fade... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRDlJpfl0oM

Ripple 04:33
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come thru the music Would you hold it near as it were your own It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they're better left unsung I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air chrous- Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow... Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of men There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go no one may follow That path is for your steps alone chorus- Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow.... You who choose too lead must follow But if you fall you fall alone If you should stand then who's to guide you If I knew the way I would take you home da da da da, da da da da da da.....repeat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m7aqU5DfvU&feature=related

Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watching the ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah chorus- I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay I had nothing to live for Feels like nothin's gonna come my way chorus- So I just sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time bridge- Look like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, yes Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home chorus- Now, I'm just sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo,I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Whistle! if you can't whistle, just try to whistle! repeat chorus- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nA18g_PwG0 could not find a live otis version, so here is the studio recording. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free. Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Into the light of the dark black night Slow tempo- Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDxfjUEBT9I&feature=related

Ride My Bike 04:18
If it makes you happy you can ride my bike Yeah, if you're happy you can ride my bike Well it's rusted through and through But you can ride it all you like If it makes you happy you can ride my bike If it makes you happy you can drive my car Yeah, if you're happy you can drive my car Well it don't look too good And it prolly won't get you far But if it makes you happy you can drive my car Chorus There isn't anything I wouldn't do A little water and sunshine make the flowers bloom If it makes you happy you can ride my bike If it makes you happy you can walk my dog Yeah, if you're happy you can walk my dog Well she'll run till she cant move Then she'll just lay there like a log If it makes you happy you can walk my dog Yeah, if you're happy you can walk my dog If it makes you happy you can plant my garden Yeah, if you're happy you can plant my garden Well it's overgrown with weeds And there's big rocks all over the yard But if it makes you happy you can plant my garden Chorus There isn't anything I wouldn't do A little water and sunshine make the flowers bloom If it makes you happy you can ride my bike repeat first verse

I see you've got your list out, say your piece and get out Yes I get the jist of it, but it's alright sorry that you feel that way, the only thing there is to say Every silver linings got a touch of grey I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive. bridge It's a lesson to me the Eagles and the Beggars and the Seeds The abc's we all must face and try to keep a little grace bridge the deltas and the east in the freeze the abcs we all think of and try to win a little love I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years It's even worse than it appears, but it's alright Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen The words he knows are all obscene, but it's alright I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive. the shoe is on the hand it fits,there's really nothing much too it whistle through your teeth and spit cuz it's alright Oh well a touch of grey kinda suits you anyway That is all I had to say and it's alright I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

about

Ms. Grey's first grade class at Hidden Valley Elementary School in San Anselmo California for the year 2012. The kids and I worked out some of these songs throughout the school year and recorded them live in room 11 in the last couple weeks of the school year. The focus and quiet required to get somewhat clean recordings in the middle of a school day in the heat was a tall order, but if you're listening then you know they pulled it off in a big way! I hope this album is something they all will proud of. I know I am :)

I've included lyrics to all the songs here, and youtube links for other live versions of these songs. I would also recommend downloading the original studio versions of any of these songs and putting them onto another cd. One of the things we talked about a lot this year was that music can be made any way you want. Some of these versions are practically the same, and some are very different,

In addition, the kids put on a concert at open house on 5/31/12 and i have uploaded a 20 minute video of the performance.
Listen hear-

Music From The Belly

One last note...the album is available for free download, but the free downloads i get are limited so i ask that if you want to make mp3's for your devices please make them from your cd rather than downloading here. I would prefer that the downloads be used for grandparents or relatives or friends that you would like to share it with. Stream away as much as you like and share wherever you wish!
Love is better than a song! But a good song is pretty great too!
Let there be song, too fill the air...
