lullaby: a quiet, gentle song sung to send a child to sleep.
I'd like to share a few of my favorite grown-up lullabies, not your typical Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star or Brahm's Lullaby. These songs are gentle and soothing to me. Sure, they don't always send me to sleep like Dan Gibson's music does(like this), but they are personal.
My husband and I make soundtracks of our love. We both pick songs that convey how we feel. They started out as a mixed tape, have evolved over the years and are currently playlists on our ipods. We are working on our 10th. We average one a year, its like our year in music. His work takes him away from me, sometimes for months, sometimes up to a year at a time. We usually make one prior to the separation. Listening to it while apart helps us make it through. Sometimes it makes me miss him more, but most of the time it makes me feel close to him and is a reminder of our love.
These 3 songs are from 3 different soundtracks of ours.
I picked these videos for the sound quality not for the imagery. Feel free to listen and close your eyes, you won't be missing anything!I feel like Jenni asking this, what song soothes you? What is your grown-up lullaby?
