Package is a full-color, 4-panel wallet containing a vinyl look/feel CD and a 12-page booklet with full lyrics and artwork.
Songwriter's note to the hard-core audiophiles (truth in advertising): This is a high-quality CD-R, burned from a digital master in a professional manufacturing facility. It is NOT a replicated disk. I had to choose between replication and the vinyl look/feel I wanted for the CD. For me, the visual aesthetic was more important, given that most people are streaming these days anyway. The audio quality of the CD-R is the same as a pressed disk.

Hannah, my sweet Hannah baby
Please don't, don't turn away
We have so little time here in this place.
Please turn around, let me see your face
Oh baby...
Hannah, my Hannah Banana
Do you remember, do you remember me?
Do you remember your dad and the things that he said?
The stories we told? Being tucked into bed?
Oh baby, our baby you'll always be
Hannah, my Hannah Banana
Baby, are they good to you?
Do you laugh, do you play, do you splash in the rain?
Do you sing silly songs? Do they know the refrain?
Do they tell you that they love you?
Hannah, sweet little Hannah
Baby, look me in the eye
Keep my love and the truth close to your heart
But keep yourself safe by playing the part
My baby, I'm telling you to lie
Hannah, Hannah Banana
Please believe me, I really tried
There's so much love and there's so much pain
And these minutes are ticking away
to maybe our last goodbye

Karen Jonas' first album is a great collection of songs that tell intriguing stories. I can say I knew her back when; she played at a songwriter showcase I used to run and I got hooked on her voice. Haze & Dacey
