Two More Songs
I can’t help it. It’s an addiction.
Don’t You Know, I Love You
This one is set to the Tetris song. This is one of the songs I sang to my son when he was young. This is how it went:
“So, it annoyed you when I sang it?”
“Yes.”
“But you loved it anyway?”
“I love you regardless.”
Well, maybe you’ll like it. Here it is, in all its Tetris glory.
Words for the Tetris Song
Don’t you know that I love you
And my heart is always true true true
I love you with all my heart
And together we shall never ever ever ever part
I know that yoooou love me
And together we will always be happy
I love you with all my heart
And together we shall never never ever ever part.
The Song I Sing with My Daughter to Help Her Keep Nightmares Away
When my daughter was younger, she had really bad nightmares to the point of not wanting to go to bed, so I slowly developed this poem, and then the poem became a song.
At first, I was thinking of using the word “warrior” instead of “conqueror” in the first line, but a warrior might be mighty, but it’s possible a warrior will lose. I didn’t want her always fighting against bad dreams. I wanted to make sure she would conquer, so “conqueror” was the wise choice.
Since it’s a short song, I always try to change it up, like doing a dance with it, doing it in different voices, high or low, and other things.
Also, you should notice that the dream is always about kitties. That’s because she has a cat who is very attached to her. Her name is Persy, and she sits on my daughter’s lap all day long. Since they love each other so much, I made Persy her “totem animal” and put the cat in the song. You can swap out your child’s favorite animal instead.
We still sing it together, and she rarely complains that she has a bad dream now. When she wakes up from sleep with a bad dream, she has me sing this song to her. It always does the trick, and off to slumber land she goes. Just choose a melody that seems to fit best for you.
The Dream Conqueror
I’m a dream conqueror
I’m in command of my dream brain
And tonight, I will dream about kitties.
One More Thing…
You might need a song to help get you to sleep after reading Inside Dweller: Genesis. Here is the best review I have received to date:
5.0 out of 5 stars It’s a five star story BUT
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024
It’s a five star story but it’s 4am and I am afraid to sleep.
This is not your typical story arc. I have no idea why I got this book(maybe the kick-ass cover?)
BUT it caught me, it creeped me out, it would not let me put it down.
Yes it would qualify as a Paranormal story but it is to me a Thriller, a Mystery and a thorough breakdown of the Evil we possess.
Kudos to the writer. You made my mind all twisty turny and I plan to call my therapist in the morning.
You know, I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
However, the way my mind is churning right now? The book should be classified as Horror.
You can get this book on Amazon.com for free if you have a Kindle account:
Please leave a review! It’ll give you good karma.
Happy reading!
