    Good night song

    Do you have a "good night" song? Something that you sing to your kid(s) at night time or something that was sung to you at night? Any traditions out there?

    My wife sings something to our girls that I have never heard before (nothing on google, either). It was sung to her by her mother. I am not too fond of it. Sounds like it slips or changes keys at the end, but not a nice sounding shift. Sounds like someone got lost in an acapella song, but she is consistant.

    I have always loved Good Night by the Beatles (White Album). I sang it to my youngest (almost 2) and it calms her down. Amy and I alternate reading to and tucking in each kid, and singing always ends it. Now my 4 yearold always asks for the good night song - whether Amy or I read books and tucked her in. I like it and my 4yo has already memorized it and sometimes sings along. Makes me feel good, too.
    Peace

    My mom used to sing "Summertime" to me, or "Bye Bye Blackbird," or the classic "Hush, little baby."

    my mother was not a singer, and very poor, and all we had were these old donated "classics" books. so i can remember being very little, before preschool, and my mom reading me A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, The Great Gatsby, and a Tale of Two Cities.

    i think being read these kind of books so early had a huge influence on my interest in school and the reason why my school kept asking my mom to skip me a grade on several occasions. she never did though.

    I always thought Lullabye by Ben Folds was a beautiful piece for that type of thing..


    his version that was on the live WASO with the orchestra was very touching sounding...

    My mum used to sing Irish folk songs. Tur-a-lur-a-lura, A little bit of heaven. Then there was the one about the train I just know as "Rockin' Rollin' Ridin'"

    When she ran out of lullaby's she'd just sing random other Irish folk-songs. "Mulony Wants a Drink" springs to mind.

    I've always liked Alright For Now by Tom Petty.

    For once I agree, puts me right to sleep!
    Alright
    Tap the lightpole and we'll be jammin all night
    And ain't nobody callin' the cops
    'Cause everybody's here freakin', if they're older they're doin the rock
    And every block from all around
    Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
    And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
    "Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"
    Yeah...
