It's a Good Thing (You're My Son)

Andre' Elan

Hey buddy

I don't know what I would do
if somebody else ended up with you
I'd probably cry and bang my head,
I'd be so jealous and want what they have
It's a good thing, It's a good thing you're my son
It's a good thing, It's a good thing you're my son

We love looking at the things that you draw
We can't believe some of the things that we saw
The way you bring those faces to life
It's a special gift that won't be denied
It's a good thing, It's a good thing you're our son
It's a good thing, It's a good thing you're our son

Mom wants you to know

She couldn't ask for a better son
So considerate happy and fun
Your love makes her life happy and rich
Just to be your mom's a great privilege
It's a good thing, it's a good thing you're her son
It's a good thing, it's a good thing you're her son

Big sis wants you to know

She can't wait to see what a great man you'll be
The sweet things you do, knock her off her feet
You're her favorite person in the world
She's so impressed with how you want to show what you've learned

It's a good thing, It's a good thing, you're her brother
It's a good thing, It's a good thing, you're her brother

Songnificance: Birthday gift for son, Andre'.

Songification Backstory: This song was written as a birthday gift for a 10 year old boy, Andre’.

The theme of this song was “we are sure glad you are our son, and lucky that somebody else didn’t end up with you.” Andre’ is an artist and the family wanted to encourage his
passion for drawing in the lyric. Also, the father, mother and sister each have a verse dedicated to their thoughts about Andre’. The important thing they wanted to say was that they loved their son.

The track is upbeat and youthful with lots of crunchy notes and sounds to match the appetite of a young boy.

As a special addition, the mother is quoted speaking in the song telling him “you’re such a wonderful son”. Also, the sister actually sings the line “You’re my Brother” to bring the point home of how much she really cares. The sister’s recordings were actually done over the phone and piped into the recording.
