"Ember To A Flame" a Hook original for his daughter

[Hook]

I'm terribly sorry for being such an inactive member and when I do pop up its very one sided...again my apologies. I havent been writing or recording anything and while I've been listening to alot of records lately its all just in the background. I hope to get back to intentionally listening and commenting soon.
However, my daughter Ember turned 20 last weekend and I forced myself to write her a song, she's become a country fan so I went in that direction. This makes the 3rd song I've written her using her name, my Ember Trilogy.
uke/vocal recorded in car, piano is from garage band, guitar is my micheal kelly acoustican and pedal steel is from Thumbjam.
1 uke/vocal track (stereo)
1 piano(stereo)
1 guitar (stereo)
1 pedal steel

Ember To A Flame

written & performed by Hook

It's time for change that's the way its supposed to be
You are now all you no more a mini me
That drum you've always heard
I think you can trust it's time
I hope that maybe you've learned a thing or 2
Follow your heart & to yourself stay true
Do not lose that spark you have inside
It's time to

turn your flame on Take what you've learned burn a path and stay strong
I'm still there but you're choosing what's right Take the lead but you'd better be bright
Ember to a Flame overnight

& as I watch you reach for the sky
Your brilliant glow reflects in my eyes
& my tears shimmer from your shine

This is lovely and sounds great too... nice that you could do this.  I can relate.  Melissa just turned 20. 
Hook, i appreciate your music very much.  The site is better when you can participate more.  However, its understandable that you arent able to much right now.  Meanwhile we will tend to the flame brother!

I do like the loving sincerity of the song.  It shines through like a gleaming sunrise!

This is a very cool tribute to your daughter as she grows up. You have a very versatile voice and you sing this country style well, Hook. The pedal steel seals the deal at reaching the country vibe. It's good to hear your music again and Happy Belated Birthday to Ember!!

Beautiful, mate.  Just beautiful.

Absolutely stunning, take the lead   but you'd better be bright, I love that line.
It's hard seeing them walk that path from you into that big grown up world.
A song Full of feeling ,it bites at your heart.
Beautiful.

It was just a day ago when i wondered where the Hook is hiding... And here he is again and he's brough company!

A special gift of a song. A special gift of a voice. A life. The Hook. Because the Hook brings you back.

Beautifully done, Mr. Hook and a wonderful tribute to your daughter. Everything in the mix is very clear and there's "air" and room for it all.

Yes, a birthday gift that a price can't be put on. You really done good with this one I love it! Fabulous vocal recording too.

It is strange how nobody seems to be around at the same time, like whack a mole! One day the stars will align, but for now dreams of MET's and virtual bands will just have to do.

This summer will be a challenge, I plan to do a lot of fishin', boatin', 4 wheelin' and learn how to do some water skiin'. Whatever "in'" I can get my hands on!

You rock bud!

A truly lovely song brother, I hear you!
