Carefree and Happy

A delightful children's tune with an overridingly playful mood. Dynamically more interesting than most kid's uke themes thanks to its jagged stop-start opening rhythm and off beat accents, it still maintains the familiar feel of strummed ukulele, piano, bass, drums and of course, glockenspiel melody. Adding in further interesting elements like xylophone, shaker, clicks and claps helps the diversity within the track which builds nicely to a full and rich stomp to further enhance the sense of play and togetherness.

Upbeat and optimistic music, featuring finger clicks, hand claps, bouncy marimbas and soothing vocal textures

Easy listening pop tune. A light and catchy melody interplayed by piano, guitar, vibraphone and glockenspiel. Acoustic guitar lead adds country vibes, variety is created by the instrumentation while offbeat accordion and a bouncy groove keep the piece moving. A very cheerful and uplifting piece that conjures up images of carefree moments and good times.

Upbeat and cheerful acoustic track. A simple guitar and glockenspiel melody over a ukulele backing builds into a fuller, more dynamic theme with piano, bass and drums. Claps give a sense of fun, a calmer guitar bridge section gives a sense of variety and contrast to a piece full of light hearted good times.

Short but sweet acoustic instrumental. Mid tempo strummed guitar sets up the gentle mood, with a playful glockenspiel melody laid over the top. Bass guitar and a raw drum beat fill out the rest of the instrumentation creating a fun and simple track that has a slightly more grown up, reflective feel than many other glockenspiel pieces in this genre.

Upbeat childrens' theme. Starting typically with a simple, bouncy rhythm and glockenspiel melody, it's the chorus that sets this apart from other kids' tunes. Morphing into a more sophisticated acoustic guitar and strings theme, it speaks more of the values of being a kid than the sweet-toothed verses, thereby managing to successfully pull off the trick of combining pillow fights with calm, positive reflection.
