"You Are Beautiful" was conceived of while Bridget was visiting family out of town. She was staying at her music teacher aunt and actress cousin's home — which is also where Bridget lived her freshman year of college. Armed with her Auntie M's guitar, she ducked into her old bedroom and preserved the idea before it was forgotten.
The song is intended to feel earnest and unadulterated — delivered spontaneously, and wholeheartedly unequivocal in its assertion. As such, the instruments are acoustic and easily handy, and the recording is purposefully somewhat unpolished and au naturel. Instrumentation: voice, soprano uke, baritone uke, flute, bass uke, shaker, bodhrán, tambourine, claves, triangles Miscellaneous Art Rock Trivia for "You Are Beautiful": To cultivate the impromptu and unaffected concept of this song, only an apple desktop's built-in microphone was employed, with no interface or external microphones and accompanying gear — as would be the case just grabbing a run-of-the-mill recording device on the spot. sound recording personnel:

Did you know,
Did you know — Did you know you are beautiful? I know you are beautiful. I don’t think it gets said enough You are beautiful; I don’t think you know quite how much You are beautiful... Did you know,
Did you know — Did you know you are much beloved? I know you are treasured, love. I don’t think it gets said enough You are invaluable; I don’t think you know quite how much You are beautiful... Did you know, Did you know — Did you know you are much beloved? I know you are treasured love. Did you know, Did you know —
Did you know you are beautiful? I know you are beautiful. |
