"Nightingale" (Lauren) - CBSC #13

Merry Christmas Eve! Today is also my friend Lauren's birthday so I pushed her song ahead a day or two.

I've been working on this song for awhile. A couple months back I was really into old standards ("Wee Small Hours", "Dream a Little Dream", "What a Wonderful World") I loved the way the chords sounded on the guitar so I started working on this chord progression. It seemed right for Lauren.

I think the words are some of my most poetic yet but they're also quite simple. The song works for Lauren because she is very free spirited. I mean, she had dreads, you don't get more "free spirit" than that.
