cradle music

It's been a hard week. I took the girl to my parents and she basically screamed the whole time. Came home for the funeral on Saturday which was beautiful but hard. Leila's asleep right now and I got to do 40 minutes of yoga and brush my hair, and compile a play list for her so I'm not forever scrolling through itunes or trying to put the needle down on a record with her in my other arm. Here's to a better, music filled, week.

In no particular order:

Main Man, T-Rex (when singing along the lyrics are usually changed to baby instead of man)
Scarborough Fair, Simon and Garfunkle
Heart of Gold, Neil Young
Harvest, Neil Young
Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen
Hey Jude, The Beatles
My Friends for Mayor, Animal Names
I'll be your Mirror, The Velvet Underground & Nico
Family Tree, TV on the Radio
Lullaby, Tom Waits
Sloop John B, The Beach Boys
When You Awake, The Band
My Favourite Chords, The Weakerthans
Forever Young, Bob Dylan

Suggestions and contributions encouraged and appreciated.

  3. My kids loved a Pete Seeger LP (boy, am I old!) called Strangers and Cousins, which had good ol' Pete singing childrens' songs from all around the world.

    Love your blog, sweetie.
