Here is our random collaboration on 5/9 with Richard Masters. This is our first demo. We are hoping to create an updated demo with some other instruments added. Fingers crossed, we will post it before the site closes :)

We had a really lovely exchange of lyrics ideas for this little fairytale/real story :) I enjoyed collaborating with Richard again. It's always a please to create songs together!

Thank you to everyone for listening and for letting us know what you thought about our song so far.

Richard - unexpected fun! We exchanged story ideas and Nadia came up with this one, and I chipped in with some shaping. It's a pleasure to hear Nadia perform this!

'A Girl Called Milly' © 2026 Richard Masters and Nadia Cripps

There was a girl called Milly She wore a tiger Lilly But she loved the other flowers well She happened on a toad In the middle of the road Dressed in yellow, with a little bell

Could this be a Prince? Well there were some hints Maybe I'll kiss it, worth a try but what if someone sees Me on my hands and knees Kissing their pet with a squinty eye?

If the toad became A handsome prince again Was she going to have to marry him? It made her think of Lee And the way that love can be And all the burdens Lee was carrying

The toad looked at Milly And the Tiger Lilly But Milly was somewhere else The whispering breeze The birds in the trees The peeling of invisible bells
