you’ve just literally completed the song, with all it s essential components, in less than 20 minutes.
Written in my first bedroom, “Sing it Soft” was born of memories of my mother singing me to sleep as a child, as well as recollections of bits of songs that either she used to sing to me or we both loved together in later life. There are references to The Beatles and the Bee Gees, the two groups for which we shared the strongest affinity. But the song is really about figuring out how to keep someone alive in your mind and to the rest of the world when they leave your life forever. I think one of the most natural ways humans do this is by singing to their children the songs that were sung to them in their childhood. In my case, I believe it made a rock solid foundation for my love and passion for music, and I could never thank my mom enough for giving me that, as so many people struggle every day to find what they really love. Aside from always supporting me in my crazy or risky musical endeavors, she was always my biggest fan, and every song I write is for her. Though this is a side not often seen of The Dead Girls, I wanted everyone to have this song because I have friends that are parents, or some friends that are newly married and probably having kids soon. Singing to your children is one of the most natural ways to connect with them, to tell them you love them. That is the purpose of “Sing it Soft”.Categories

A wonderful tribute to Tam! She was so proud of you and your music abilities. I think we speaks for the whole darn familiy! Beautiful.
Cam – I was just about to walk out the door from work when your FB update popped in my Inbox… Now, I’m sitting at my desk with tears rolling down my face, and I haven’t even listened to the song yet… Though you’re a wonderful writer, I bet you say it even better in music – can’t wait for the whole record.
Hugs xoxo

Beautiful. I’m crying here in my office at work. Thank goodness for doors.
Thanks for the song. It sounds like your mom was a very special person.
