Story behind the song
"Little Boy" is a deeply personal account about my experience as a parent of an autistic child. The diagnosis of my son Edan was a traumatic and life-changing event, but also a catalyst to immerse myself back into the joy of writing and producing music. It is a song fundamentally about acceptance and hope - acceptance of the autistic condition as part of the human experience, and hope that the brightest medical minds across the world will one day solve its mystery.
Lyrics
I was there when you arrived a little boy who changed our lives I was full of joy and full of pride there was magic in your eyes but there was something not quite right I followed close as time went by it kept me up at night I would hear your mother cry I could see the warning signs hear my call little boy trapped behind this wall please speak to me let me hear your voice tell me all is well that youre going to break this spell I've had enough time to reflect and in the end I've come around I still dont know what to expect I have no choice but to accept this fate to which I have been bound hear my call little boy trapped behind this wall please speak to me let me hear your voice tell me all is well that youll break this spell and come out of your shell what is this curse that haunts you? how can I make this demon set you free? why is it that he taunts you? what will it take to solve this mystery?
