The Turtle Song | Jimmy Britnell

I started writing this song 5 years ago. I was goofing around with my two year old, making up a silly song about animal noises while she took her nighttime bath. "I am a cow I'm a cow cow, and I say moo moo moo moo moo. I am a pig I'm a pig pig, and I say oink oink oink oink oink." I began the next verse with "I am a turtle I'm a turtley turtle and I say" .... what does a turtle say? I've backed myself into a corner. Eventually the next line was "And no one knows what I say". After that line came out, I realized it could be kind of a cool idea for a song. A turtle that feels left out because no one knows what he says. We had a talent show coming up at my church, so I decided to finish the song and perform it there. I finished writing the song on Halloween of 2020. Performed it that night. Got choked up in the middle of my performance. Got through it. My friends went crazy for me. Clapping, cheering, encouraging me afterwards. ♥️ Somewhere along the way, I realized this song is about me. I have a sound, and I have songs, and I have jokes, and I am not like everyone else. Often times I feel like no one understands me and I have to be like other people to fit in. I struggle to be myself and I wonder what everyone else thinks about me. I see everyone else sharing their creative work and I love it. But I'm extremely self conscious about my own work. What if people don't like it? What if it's dumb? What if I sound funny? What if they don't even laugh at my jokes? This song is my story. And I hope it speaks to your story. Thank you to my friends and family who helped make this possible. I could not have done this without you. I'm very happy with how this turned out, so thank you friends for all of your help and also your patience as I micro analyzed everything. Special thanks to Johnny Golloher for recording, producing, encouraging, and bugging me to get it finished. Appreciate your consistent encouragement. Thanks to Caleb Pierce for the beautiful video work. Thanks to Tony Chavez for your help with vision, production, and just helping make it actually happen. Thanks to Eric Taylor for mixing and mastering. Thanks to Matt Mitchell (scream guy) Josh Lother, Caleb Fulford, Chad Yager, Marisa Lother, Caitlin Brewer, Miranda Mitchell, Travis Hill, and all of those that came to the video shoot. I am certain I didn't name everyone, but thank you. Thank you. Thank you Darcie. There are captions (not auto-generated). If you are deaf, I wish you could hear the song, but I hope the lyrics speak to you. You have a voice.
