Song Details
The opening song from Aline’s musical, “Tell Me A Story,” this is a simple little tune in uneven meter, with clever references to such classic stories as “Charlotte’s Web,” “Make Way for Ducklings” and “My Side of the Mountain.” This song has a cozy feel, like snuggling up with a good book.
