So, we are in the car,

[Lisa]

and Jackson is doing this half cry/grunt/fussy thing.

Dave Matthew's Crash comes on the radio. He is quiet for the whole song.

So, since I just bought a CD player for his room, I am thinking I should make him a CD with "real" songs on it to relax/fall asleep to.

Any suggestions?

[Moke]

Yeah Dave makes me get quiet, too. :drool:

[Mandy]

I bet anything mellow would work. Lemme think....

[Dar]

Wanna know what's on my cd?

[Tina]

Enya?

[Moke]

ooh enya would be nice.

[taragunner]

Anything DMB. :agree:

Brie liked Fleetwood Mac Rumours for bedtime. She also had the Eagles.

My cd…. Off the top of my head :blush: (Keep in mind these are songs I like to sing to, and that’s why they were chosen. I love to sing and can’t listen to a song without singing along….. and I know my taste in music is different.)

A few songs from some of my fav musicals, such as The Secret Garden (Mandy Patinkin was in the original cast :love: )

Her two favorites-
Didn’t Leave Nobody But The Baby, Down By The River To Pray – from O’ Brother Where Art Thou?

Those two songs are numbers 3 & 4 on the cd, and she rarely makes it past them. :laugh:
<O:p</O:p

[Karen]

/has never done karaoke for fear of getting WAY too into it.


me too :doofi:

[Karen]

Dave made an Enya playlist for my iPod that I played all the time while pregnant and Freya still loves that mix.

Dave Matthews Band makes ME gag, so none of that.

I should really get the O Brother WHere Art Though soundtrack--I love that music.

But we're talking about baby listening....
Claire de Lune (Debussy) is a good one. If you don't know what it is....once you hear it you'll go "oh, that classical piece"
Carnival of the animals, also by Debussy I think. It's the flamingo cartoon piece on Fantasia 2000.

Freya also likes the Les Miserables soundtrack because I sing the entire thing out loud :indiff:

[Dar]

"Daughters" by John Mayer.


















I'm totally kidding. :rofl:

I hate that song. HATE HATE HATE!

[Dar]

Freya also likes the Les Miserables soundtrack because I sing the entire thing out loud :indiff:

:love:

I am ALWAYS singing. Alison sings in the car with me.

The other day I put her to sleep humming the Pirates tune over and over and over. :D

[Karen]

we watched our first episode of Little Einsteins last week. It was about German folk cultre and Beethoven. The next day, she crawled to me, placed a hand on either of my cheeks, very seriously looked me in the eye and did the first phrase of his 5th Symphony...

bah bah bah baaaaaaahhhhh. :laugh:

[Karen]

Tchaikowsky's "Sleeping Beauty" ballet is nice and Freya likes it.

Dave said today's Little Einsteins was about Tchaikowsky and she was mezmorized.

[Lisa]

[Phoebe]

OH! I was in the car this morning and this came on. :love:

St. Judy's Comet - Simon and Garfunkel :love:

Little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is?
Well the hour of your bedtime's
Long been past

And though I know you're fighting it
I can tell when you rub your eyes
You're fading fast
Fading fast

Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet
Roll across the skies
And leave a spray of diamonds
In its wake
I long to see St. Judy's Comet
Sparkle in your eyes
When you awake

Little boy
Won't you lay your body down
Little boy
Won't you close your weary eyes
Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies

Well I sang it once
Then I sang it twice
I'm going to sing it three times more
I'm going to stay 'til your resistance
Is overcome
'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep
Well it makes your famous daddy
Look so dumb

Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet
Roll across the skies
And leave a spray of diamonds
In its wake
I long to see St. Judy's Comet
Sparkle in your eyes
When you awake

Little boy, little boy
Won't you lay your body down
Little boy, little boy
Won't you close your weary eyes
Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies

Oo little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is
Well the hour of your bedtime's
Long been past
Though I know you're fighting it
I can tell when you rub your eyes
That you're fading fast.

[hereslizz]
