An Indie Rocker Finds His Inner Child

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/29/fashion/29justin.html

?Willy Was a Whale? is the kind of head-bopping, silly-clever song that is a staple of the kiddie rock movement. It comes complete with a hand motion ? throw arms up to form a big W with your head ? for the tots in the mosh pit up front at concerts, and a little joke ? Willy walks ?all the way down to Weno, Nevada? ? for the parents who buy the tickets. Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players do ?Willy? at pretty much every show: it?s their ?Born to Run.?
Multimedia

But when you listen to ?Willy? on the CD ?Yellow Bus? ? the second of seven children?s albums recorded by Mr. Roberts ? the song that follows it is a bit jarring. ?Mama is sad and I know that/she?s taken off her ring,? it begins. The child in the song tries to cheer Mama by offering toys ? ?I give her my Lego blocks to play/but the blocks won?t fit together today? ? and, ultimately, himself: ?I give her my heart and I don?t want it back.? It?s pretty much impossible to listen to without crying.

When he wrote ?Mama Is Sad,? strumming a guitar outside on a sunny day, ?I was laughing because I was like, ?Nobody writes a kid?s song that?s so sad and depressing,? ? Mr. Roberts recalled in an interview earlier this month.

?As adults we like to think kids live in this fantasy world of innocents,? he added. ?But I watch kids really respond to their environment. The idea that a kid would see their mother or father was sad about something and try to fix it was very real.?

You might say Mr. Roberts is the Judy Blume of kiddie rock. Beside divorce, Mr. Roberts has songs about death (?Sandcastle,? written for a friend who lost his mother); changing homes ( ?Moving,? for his wife, Chris, who grew up an Air Force brat); cancer (?Roller in the Coaster,? for a colleague of Chris?s); and demonizing the enemy (?Maybe the Monster,? loosely inspired by 9/11). In these and other story-songs, about bullies or blaming your brother or being afraid a pop fly might actually come your way, Mr. Roberts, a childless 40-year-old who pursued a religious studies Ph.D. after his indie-rock career never quite happened, has a remarkable ability to see through a child?s eyes.

I FELL for Justin even before I had kids, trailing my nieces and nephew to a couple of shows in Chicago, where he is based.

We just love music here. So that's why I think this article is sooooooo cool and interesting (even though it's about fifteen times above my level of composition lol:

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/22/compose-your-own/?src=tptw

Compose your own

"My nine-month old son engages with music in a variety of ways as he moves through his daily life. He listens to music in the background while he focuses on other activities. He moves to music as my wife or I clap his hands and bounce him up and down in time to a song. And he creates music, banging his fists on a piano keyboard to play clusters of high and low notes. As judged by laughs and smiles, he likes all of these activities, but he enjoys creating music the most.

I similarly like to listen to music but enjoy creating it even more. I love to sing a soft lullaby to my son more than playing him a recording. I love to sit at the piano to play a familiar song more than listening to it on the stereo. And more than any of these things, I love to compose music. I love to start with some simple musical ideas and then experiment with them, gradually transforming them into something that captivates my imagination. I love to share this music with performers and audiences and to invite them to make their own sense of it."

It goes on to discuss why we should make our own music and how we can!

Big hat tip to @techmama for pointing me to this!]]> webmaster@themotherhood.com (juliepippert) Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:12:33 -0400 http://www.themotherhood.com/post/show/id/476827 http://www.themotherhood.com/post/show/id/476827 Recently I shared about my photo shoot and fitting in my wedding dress for the shoot..
