One of them was the picture as shown above which I randomly came across on Flickr many months ago. Somehow it seemed to capture the tension that I felt that afternoon between light-heartedness and nostalgia quite wonderfully. It also seemed to fit perfectly with a mix that I had already announced previously in a lullabies post. So I decided on the spot to build a mix around this picture and Mariee Sioux’s entrancing performance.

I’ve tried to find the connection between this theme and the romantic and mystical undertone of the sculpture. The grace of her vulnerable sleeping body, the silent cemetery surroundings and the deep sorrow of losing a loved one. They became synonyms for the night’s serene, dreamy, and tender ambiance.

Would be cool if you could challenge my post someday with your own definition and selection of lullabies! I had to reinvent the meaning of lullaby for myself in order to make a choice between different styles and ended up with this. Most songs on this list are actually selected more on lyrical content than on arrangements and such. I also had quite a large selection of sweetly singing female songwriters with peaceful folk songs like Sibylle Baier and Peggy Honeywell. They would make for excellent lullabies but there were so many that I decided to just make an entire post for them. So if anyone was expecting or left wanting for more sweet and simple folk songs then just hold on for a couple more weeks. ;) Oh, and the cute harmonies on the David Kitt track are actually from his nine-year old brother. :-) Yeah I know what you mean, I had a couple of tracks like that in my first selection too.

I was then exchanging some emails with him and his idea of lullabies was rather oriented towards artist like Jeff Buckley which coincidentially fit much better with your own ideas about lullabies and well, these are very good! I'm gonna try them tonight. Maybe it's just me but don't you find the opening verses melody in "bad man" very similar to those on "you are the generation who bought more shoes" by Johnny boy? :) when Doug requested lullabies I immediatly thought about the music of Colleen, Flotel, Orla Wren & the likes.
