Lullaby for Stanley

Every FAWM, I do at least one song about my beloved Stanley. Guitar riff sounds a bit too much like "Dear Prudence" for my liking!
Lyrics
Go to sleep, Little Stanley
(I hope that you sleep well)
Little Stanley, go to sleep
(I hope you dream of good things)

I liked it and hope Stanley did too. Nice lullaby and the synergy of the marching drums and organ sounds excellent.

I love Stanley songs and the title brought me in!! I like the rhythm and the sweetness of the guitar and I love "I hope you dream of good things". I'm with Bill...did Stanley go to sleep or want to just hear the song again??? LOL!!

I get your Dear Prudence concern, but you could do much worse than accidentally sounding a little bit like one of the greatest songs from the most important band of all time. It's mostly just because of the descending bass. It doesn't prevent a listener from enjoying the track or digging in to the other things going on here. For example, that Farfisa sounds amazing. Somehow, it rises to meet the guitar and doesn't get overwhelmed by it. Quite the contrary. It really might be the centerpiece here. Nice work.

I hear it, I have been accused of getting too close to that band sometimes! Wouldn’t expect a writ anytime soon! Looks like Stanley is on guard! Sone cute lullaby hidden in there!

Ah, a Stanley song!
Cute! What does he might think as he watches you wearing a sleep mask? Crazy humans!
I like the contrast of the dreamy guitar and organ to that beat! Really good idea!
Does he like the song?

Stanley! Ah, so sweet! We've got 3 of these little fur babies (who like to play at the most inconvenient times - like in the middle of the night).

I like how the frontline instrumentation is no restful and lullaby-like, but that marching drum beat in the background is so energetic, it creates a kind of interesting contrast, like the cat wants to keep playing even if you want it to sleep (so that, judging from the video, you can sleep too!).

i hear prudence in the bass, but it hardly matters. nothing else in the song sounds like be beatles (thank god) im wondering if this song puts stanley to sleep or does he perk up to say, "play it again, play it again?"
