Count Your Sheep
The song Count your Sheep involves a partnership between Honolulu-born ukulele player and singer Daniel Ho and singer Bridgette Bryant. The song talks about counting your sheep, which is something many children in the USA and around the world are advised to do when they are having trouble letting go of the excitement of the day and going to sleep.
Bryant has a sweet, soulful voice that goes directly to the heart of her listeners. In this upbeat lullaby, which is a mixture of R&B and folk music, we hear Daniel Ho play the ukulele (an instrument native to Hawaii) accompanied by Bryant’s powerful and mellow voice. The use of the saxophone in part of the song only adds to the magic of the music Ho and Bryant have written together.
