Name: A Lullabye (for Mimi)
Duration: P00H03M40S
Description: Written around 2000 when Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk were having a child. The fan community wrote lullabyes to send to them. I wrote this one, but didn't record it at the time because I couldn't sing it as well as I would have liked. To honor Mimi, who passed away in 2022, I thought I would give it a go now. Rest, Mimi, and thank you for the music and inspiration

lyrics

I hope I teach you to be honest
I hope I teach you to be kind
I hope I teach you to be gentle
I hope I teach you to love life

The night is not to be afraid of
At night I'll hold you in my arms
A world awaits you filled with wonder
At night I'll love you in your dreams

I hope that nature helps me teach you
I hope the sun shines on your face
I hope you see beauty in a raindrop
I hope tomorrow is a smile

So close your eyes and let me keep you
Safe from everything you fear
Close your eyes and love in dreamland
Close your eyes and drift in peace

I hope I teach you to be honest
I hope I teach you to be kind
I hope I teach you to be gentle
I hope I teach you to love life

This is a triumph! So hard to pick just one track when each song is better than the last. Klack has really just got a great sound that can be successfully remixed into just about anything. Personally I think the first 6 tracks are perfect Ned Michaels

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
