Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Reed-Dock Memory Pocket
Song promise: The group will move only the pocket, preserve comfortable timing instead of the fixed order, collect three unlike sounds, and leave every choice-board option unmarked.
The part everyone joins: “Wait for the slowest sound.”
Lyrics
Three Viewpoints Stay Put
Callen listens from reed-dock inlet.
Aralynn waits beside clover gate.
Haylee watches beyond frog pond rim.
Bentley rests in steady support with a trusted grown-up.
The cast does not travel.
Only the hinged memory pocket moves.
Keep Timing, Not Order
The first plan says wood, cloth, metal—always in that order.
It also promises that each sound can wait for its maker.
The pocket cannot preserve both rules.
They keep comfortable timing
and release the fixed order.
Three Unlike Sounds
At reed-dock inlet, Callen taps the wooden rail: tok.
Beside clover gate, Aralynn brushes the pocket cloth: hush.
Beyond frog pond rim, Haylee touches the metal hinge: ting.
Tok, hush, ting—
but the order may change.
The hinge answers once between beats.
The crooked little click may be funny.
No person and no pace becomes the joke.
The Slowest Action Sets the Time
The pocket reaches Bentley’s viewpoint
and rests at a comfortable distance.
Bentley remains fully supported.
No sound or gesture is required.
A caregiver-observed settling breath arrives slowly.
The others wait.
Wait for the slowest sound.
Callen’s wood waits.
Aralynn’s cloth waits.
Haylee’s metal waits.
The shared pulse begins only after Bentley is settled.
Choice Board
The hinged pocket rests beside a three-part choice board.
One space means join now.
One space means watch first.
One space stays blank.
No choice is marked.
No one fills the blank for someone else.
The changed-mind space remains open.
About This Song
Age lane: S5 — Mixed-Age Family Songs.
Theme: Feelings & Friendship through allowing humor without making anyone the joke.
Energy: Warm-overcast listening, gentle wordplay, and a calm open-ended finish.
Estimated duration: Approximately 4 minutes 26 seconds.
Participation: Three fixed viewpoints, pocket-only movement, wood-cloth-metal sound collection, slow shared timing, and newborn-safe sensory listening.
Cast: Callen Crow, Aralynn Fox, Haylee, and Baby Bentley. Bentley remains fully supported by an approved trusted grown-up. Lillian and Zylar were considered, but the supplied four already provide three material/timing roles and one newborn sensory role without crowding the three-viewpoint structure.
Ways to Join In
- Viewpoints: Keep Callen, Aralynn, Haylee, and Bentley at their established positions. Move only the pocket.
- Sound collection: Use one wood tap, one cloth-brush gesture, and one light metal touch. The order may vary.
- Bentley’s participation: Keep it sensory and newborn-safe: stable head and neck support, comfortable prop distance, and no required gaze, reach, breath timing, smile, sound, or gesture.
- Timekeeper: A trusted caregiver may observe when Bentley is settled. The group waits without treating Bentley’s pace as comedy or performance.
- Choice board: Use three large nonverbal spaces—join now, watch first, and one blank space. Leave every option unmarked.
