about

From a young age, I had a very special bond with my grandad. He and I began brainstorming and dreaming up community programs and workshops from when I was around ten years old, or maybe even younger and that's how the '5 L's' in this song came about. He saw and nurtured the my curiosity in movement, music and community.

lyrics

Your eyes are in the carrots, your heart is in tomatoes
And everything you eat from there will help you grow,
Will help you grow-ee-o-ee-o-ee-o-ee-o

I spy, with my little eye
Something beginning with ‘L’
Cos grandad told me a secret, and held out his hand
Pointed to his five fingers, so I tried to understand

He said L is for life long partner
L is for long night sleep
L is for loopy loopy laughter
And L is for the Hell-ll-ll-ll-thy food that you eat
And then, as soon as grandma had left the room
Grandad would pull me aside and say;
“Charlotte, make sure you play the field”

L is for love, love, love, L is for love, above
Above all else, love yourself

Your eyes are in the carrots, your heart is in tomatoes
And everything you eat from there will help you grow,
Will help you grow-ee-o-ee-o-ee-o-ee-o
