Platypus Pajamas

Sometimes platypuses just like to stay home at night and relax in their pajamas.
I was getting ready for work the other morning and as I hopped in the shower a little melodic snippet got stuck in my head. I didn't want to forget it so when I got out I hummed it into my phone. Then on a whim I just randomly played a different idea I had recorded to my phone several months ago. I don't even remember recording that one, but it was another melodic snippet and it struck me that the two ideas I had months apart would work really well together. It was a total happy accident.
I decided I wanted one of the lines to be played by some kind of brass instrument and since I don't actually play any, I decided to acquire spitfire's epic brass and wind. I got it just for this track, although I'm sure I'll utilize it again in the future.

This platypus says let's stay home and take it easy
We'll light a fire and stay inside where it's not freezing
Turn off the news, kick off our shoes, and then we'll try to make things cozy
Unplug the phones, we'll be on our own, and you'll see everything is rosy
We're bundled up inside our platypus pajamas
And we'll pretend we're hanging out in the Bahamas
The night is young, we're having fun, so let's stay up a little longer
Nowhere to roam, we're safe at home, so pour the drinks a little stronger
I'd pause the world to keep you happy
