“Our whole intention was to make a record of songs that we grew up with and change them up a little bit, but we kind of stumbled on writing "Joseph's Lullaby." The irony is when I originally wrote the song, it was called "Mary's Lullaby." I wrote it from Mary's standpoint and it was in a higher key, a real falsetto, and it just wasn't right.

Why don't you do Joseph?” WritingWellsKindLittlesSaidRealWholeGuySongBitsRecordsWifePerspectiveKeysGrewHigherOne DayLittle BitGrew UpSingingIntentionProducersIronyOddMaryStandpointLullabyFalsetto Author:Bart Millard
“I wouldn't want someone assuming that some negative song has some truth between me and my wife. There was a song that one of my buddies sent me, and it was an awesome song. It was about this woman who had fallen in love with a man that wasn't her husband, and I love everything about the song except for the fact that I personally cannot sing it. It would kill me if someone thought I was singing it about my wife.” IfsMenWantFactsSongWifeTruth IsHusbandSingingNegativeAssumingMy WifeFallenKill MeBuddy Author:Aaron Watson
