the shiloh song

it was bound to happen, and when it did - i was pretty certain i knew who would be behind it. i woke up this morning to find this note in my inbox from my far away friends on the west coast, sent directly after an mp3 of a song about the jolie-pitt superbaby. here's the note:

We’re only about one week into summer but I can already feel it, this is the summer of giving. Warren is giving away billions, the Red Sox are giving me wins and celebrities are giving everyone something to talk about.

When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had a baby, they gave The Fresh an idea, this kid deserves a song. Shiloh, the pressure of living up to Mom and Dad might be tough, so we’re giving you some love to stand on. Perhaps a little melody to remind you of the good times and life without Mr. and Mrs. Smith.  You’re mom has taken Pro Bono to a level and we want to show our love and give thanks...to you, Shiloh Nouvel.

Thank you to Producer and founding fresh father Kurt Morgan and lead funny man Jack Voorhies.

i don't even know if i'm allowed to post the mp3, so go here to listen! these guys are in LA, so when they wake up i'll see if i can post it. i will post this picture from their myspace account though (please note who is missing from their top 8).

I also wrote a song called Shiloh about 3 years ago- you can check it out on http://www.myspace.com/shilohsong The name Shiloh has always appealed to me- I want to call my first daughter Shiloh- when I heard about Angelina and Brad's duaghter I thought it could be a nice gesture to make it available to them but i didnt know how to contact them- anyways the recording was done at home so it's very raw. Take into account when you listen to the song that Shiloh means place of tranquility- gives it a deeper meaning- enjoy

Shiloh

I'm dreaming of my darling Darling,
so fragile and insecure.
The meadows sway so softly for her,
as angels look on down.
The wisdom of a thousand ages
makes her forget her pain.
The shadows that surround her there
are whispering her name...

Shiloh.
You've found your peace at last.
Shiloh.
It happened all so fast.

Your love-rose has bloomed on this tower of thorns,
and your waiting time has passed.
The problem of trying to figure it out
has given way to love.

Sweet dreamer,
keep on dreaming,
close your little eyes.
Hey child,
save your blindness,
for the hardness of this world.

The sparkling stars cry tears of joy,
just catch them in your hand.
The butterflies will lift you up to the rainbow in the sky.

Shiloh- is where I build my home.
Shiloh- beside the quiet streams.
Shiloh- a symphony of beauty.
Shiloh- who can compare?
Shiloh- whenever you are there-
it's Shiloh.

(repeat bridge)

My world
My whole wide world
is burning just for you.
My world
My whole wide world
is turning just for you.
Shiloh- a symphony of beauty.
Shiloh- who can compare.
Shiloh- whenever you are there-
it's Shiloh.
