about

I imagine this song taking place just after she first learns she is pregnant. She is holding a pregnancy test in her hand, it’s positive. She starts to think about the child within, the future, the miracle of what’s happening to her. She dances, rejoicing, and the mime artist dances with her.

There is a sense that she has joined a group of women who have all gone before her, bringing life. It contains the line: “Wow! Look at women! Aren’t we great?”

Having said that, this is the song my son, Dan, plays the drums on. He is the only male taking part in the album and project, but perhaps that doesn’t count against it being an all-female production, because I made him?!

lyrics

There’s a brand new life in me
The answer’s ‘yes’, and it’s gonna be me
It’s a baby, a tiny baby,
Tiny fingers and tiny toes and
tiny ears and tiny eyes and
I’m gonna be a….
I’m gonna be a mummy!

(Ah! Ah!)

I will love this child in me
Be the best that I can be
There’s a brand new life in me
I’ll be the best that I can be.

Time to eat well, time to sleep well, time to keep well, time to grow well!

Time for me to take part in the creation of new life
Join the countless women in the army giving birth
Time for me to take my place adding to the human race
Wow! Look at women! Aren’t we great?

(Ah! Ah!)

Oh, I will love this child in me
Oh, be the best that I can be
Oh, there’s a brand new life in me
Welcome to this brand new me
I accept this brand new me
