Bedtime Stories: Far Away Lands.

Album 4 of the Bedtime Stories series. Daddy at the side of the bed, the kids cast as characters. Tonight the story takes them around the world — different regions reframed as the storybook setting for each track. Archetypes hold: Liam = captain/leader, Ava = princess-who-runs-things, Iyla = trickster-small-and-fast, Tessa = baby-cub-follower. Stories are new — not regional reskins of v1, but fresh adventures rooted in each region. Frame: Daddy opens at the side of the bed and closes when the lantern goes out. Every track between is a different region — the most percussion-varied, most production-varied record in the series. Respect: archetypes onto regions, not stereotypes onto people.
