Haha, this is sweet. When my kid was a baby, she was bald on top with a crown of hair on the sides and back. It was unfortunate.
I love that cello ending!

  From the pictures you showed me it seems like she's already blossomed into a cutie.  There's hope for unfortunate looking babies everywhere!

Haha you are absolutly right...
The text is sweeet and lovely enhanced by the music... the high guitar and of course the cello are giving a nice edge...

LOL, too funny. But seriously, you're a monster. How dare you not fawn over every baby... even the hideously ugly ones. It's one thing if the baby is a total asshole, then all bets are off.

Loving the cello and glad to hear it back. Great vocals and lyrics.  Popcorn sounding especially majestic this week.

Yeah, I'm still on Reaper and will probably be using it for the foreseeable future.  I'm starting to get the feel for it a bit.  I'm trying some different ways in recording the popcorn tin.  In the past I've set it on the floor or balanced it between my legs and hit it with two drumsticks.  This week I held it in one hand and hit it with one drumstick with the other. 

  I guess I'm just not really a baby person.  People always want to show me pictures of their babies and I'm like, no thanks.  Got a picture of your doggy or kitty-cat?  Now I'm interested.  Even ugly dogs are still cute.  Ugly babies?  Eh.  Plus, some of them totally are assholes.

Fun track! I agree with comments about strings. That is a nice touch. It was about to go epic at the end with the layers of strings...

  Yeah, I'll have to do something later this year where I pile on more layers of strings.  Just wanted to get a little taste of cello in there.  It'll be back for sure.  And maybe I'll even bust out my old violin.

I was a gorgeous baby, now I am just an ugly man.

Great job blending cello and popcorn tin, it made such a lovely outro

  Thanks!  I thought it was a kind of funny idea and thought, why not run with it?

  Gotta love the good old cello.  I'll definitely do some more with it this year.

  I suppose it works the other way sometimes, too.  Thanks!

popcorn tin percussion   nice!

popcorn tin percussion :) nice!

But it does kind of reflect on the parents a little, genetics and all that.

  True.  Of course you never know how the genes will combine and express themselves.  This reminds me a little bit of the old Conan O'Brien routine "If they mated" where he would take two ostensibly beautiful celebrities and combine their features into something freakishly hideous.

HAAAAA! :) :) I have a seven month old... . . .. . she is ugly af! hahaha nah not really... I got lucky... .. .i think :P :) :D

  Thanks!  After doing Weekly Beats for several years, it starts getting harder to discover subjects for songs.  I got mostly bored with love songs a long time ago... there's too many of those things in the world already.  But this one just came to me and I knew I must write a song about it.

  Oh wow, I didn't know you had a kid recently.  Congrats!  I'm sure she's the most precious thing ever!  I do know she's got a cool-as-shit papa and that's a head-start in life already.
