about

Becca:
​This is the "hit". The one that people leave our shows humming to themselves, and playing on repeat in their hearts! ​

Rebecca:
This is a tune of Gretchen's, that she brought up to the house several years back. I think she might have even been writing it on her visit. The sentiment is so beautiful, and, generally it's a song that we perform last in our set. What better way to leave our audience singing this tune? I can't think of one. It's all joy.

Gretchen:
named after my young friend, magnus, who at 5 years old sang a lullaby to his mother’s pregnant belly when she was pregnant with his little brother, thaddeus. the lullaby he sang is the chorus of the song, i wrote verses and a bassline and created a bigger song to honor his lullaby and tell the story of my dear friend ashley and her two beautiful sons, their bond and love.
i love sharing this song and its message.

lyrics

MAGNUS
Gretchen Parlato / Magnus Thompson-Marcelin

One day the most beautiful girl in the world
She made the most beautiful boy in the world
And then the most beautiful boy in the world
He sang this most beautiful song to the world

Ah wee
Ah woh
Ah wah
Ah wah ya wee

And then the most beautiful girl in the world
She made one more beautiful boy in the world
And then all three beautiful souls of the world
They sang this most beautiful song to the world
