Harry Carman wrote this song during his partner’s second pregnancy, and it has now rightfully found its place as a go-to comfort song and celebration for his children and family.

From folk pop softness to Johnny Cash confidence and grit, the style of Allan J rings loud as consistently unique for this release. The set-up and production, the lyrics and melodic meandering, the voice itself, all leans in the direction of something both original and inspiring, and fittingly, that’s also the essence of the song itself.
