Little Ears
What the parent said: “Quickly into the car please, it’s raining and we’re all getting soaked!”
What the child heard: “I know it’s pouring down but don’t mind me - I’ll just stand here holding the door open while you play in that puddle over there. Yep, that one too.”
What the parent said: “Three more mouthfuls, and then you can get down from the table.”
What the child heard: “Push your food around your bowl a while longer - I’ll lose patience and conviction and let you get down soon anyway.”
What the parent said: “Stop that immediately or I’ll put away your favourite dinosaur toy!”
What the child heard: “If I actually follow through on my empty threat to confiscate your beloved toy, decide something else is your favourite thing in the whole wide world. Wait until I’ve triumphantly taken the dinosau... more »

Hi everyone! I've just finished recording up a new original song, and am so excited to share it with you all :-)
Inspired by my sister-in-law's magical wedding and a good friends' journey through pregnancy, this song is a celebration of all those big moments in life - the ones that take our breath away when we finally reach them. Life's precious moments go by so quickly, and this song is all about just being in the moment.
I really hope you all enjoy it, please feel free to share away if you do!! :-)

'Still, Still, Still' - a Christmas Tune
A while back, +Kate Butson and myself set out to collaborate on a Christmas song. We had folks throw out suggestions and got lots of great ideas. We chose the song 'Still, Still, Still', a beautiful song that is not covered all that much outside the classical realm.
I think you'll agree that Kate performed it beautifully, and that her voice is addictive. I added a bit of instrumentation, a few harmonies, and really love how it all came together.
In any case, we both wish you a Merry Christmas, a very Happy Holidays, and look forward to sharing more music with you in the new year!
Still Still Still, Performed by Kate Butson and Tim Behrens

ORIGINAL SONG - 'MISERABLE ME'
My next original is done!
This song was actually inspired by a TV series I was totally hooked by and finished watching recently, where one of the main characters had an amazing life and wonderful people right in front of her, but could never find happiness. I think she felt like she deserved more than life was giving her...thankfully, her eyes were eventually opened.
The moral of the story? The grass will always be greener...we should never take life for granted, and we should always be thankful for everything we have! :-)
Hope you enjoy, and if you do - please share away! :-)

Stoked to have been able to watch Michael Clarke smash that 200 for Australia yesterday, records falling all over the place. The guy is phenomenal! Warner and Hussey with hundreds, and almost 500 runs scored on day one...unbelievable day of cricket. If Clarke carries on where he left off and Wade can get going quickly this morning, watch out...
