Lullaby: A Song to Soothe You
I was living in Argentina when I wrote the song Lullaby. I think I had been listening to Silverchair at the time because I never play in dropped D tuning, like I do in this song. But those were difficult days of walking the streets of Buenos Aires, asking people to let me into their homes so I could share something I felt was extremely important. It was a time of immense rejection and unbelievable accomplishment. Either way, they were hard days with lots of walking. So much walking that I burnt through 4 pairs of soles on my boots.
In order to wind down at the end of a physically and emotionally exhausting day I would often play this song. It has no words and it’s technically a bit challenging because of the picking, but I think that’s what I love about it...
