LYRICS
How's my growing going?
Believe it or not
That's how growing's going
Don't know if I'll ever stop
Know how to eat
Feet move to the beat
Eyes like a hawk
Chime like a clock
Tick, tick tock
How's my growing going?
Believe it or not
That's how growing's going
Don't know if I'll ever stop
Learning to speak
Days of the week
The story's read
I'm off to bed
Mama said
How's my growing going?
Believe it or not
That's how growing's going
Don't know if I'll ever stop
Aurora,
You helped me write this song on January 20, 2024.
We wrote the lyrics in our songwriting notebook. (The red Crayon is by you.)
The song lyrics are about how much fun we have learning new things as you grow-up. The video includes one of those experiences.
Your first year on Earth there was no snow. Finally,
in the middle of your second winter, it snowed over an inch for the first time in 715 days. A couple days later it snowed another 6 inches. This video has a clip of the first time we went out into the deep snow.
You discovered that your voice sounded different in the snow. "The sound absorption rating of snow falls somewhere between 0.5 and 0.9, meaning it absorbs much of the surrounding sound. The reason snow is able to absorb sound is because it is porous." The snow makes the world very quite. You liked learning how your voice
sounds on a quite Earth, so I used it in the soundtrack.
The side-by-side picture was created by
your da-da and shows you in the same pose as your father about 30 years later. He never stopped growing and learning, either.
Love,
Pop-pop
