This indie folk playlist is curated to celebrate the birth of our third son, Noam, who came into the world on August 31, 2023 💕 A lullaby playlist, including songs about the amazing journey of parenthood and the early days of welcoming a newborn | Subscribe for More: goo.gl/58cjHJ | Tracklist & song meaning: 0:00 Matt Hartke - London´s Song I wrote this song for my daughter London, when she was a few months old. 2:57 The Bull Brothers - Song for Dylan This song was written for our nephew Dylan and is a lullaby of sorts. 5:47 Emily Glover - Dream Big (Perryn's Song) This song was written as a tribute to Emily's nephew, Perryn. A beautiful person who couldn't wait to grace Emily's family, so much so that he arrived prematurely and had to spend several months recuperating in hospital until he was at full health. Written during that trying time between Perryn's birth and his homecoming, Emily's love, hopes and dreams are woven into the melody and lyrics of Dream Big, a call to stir Perryn (and anyone else who listens) to live a full and wonderful life. 8:44 Tolan Shaw - Meet You This song is about the roller coaster of emotions I was experiencing in anticipation of my daughter, Dela. It features her baby heartbeat in the intro and outro, and an ethereal, womb-like instrumental. 12:03 The Weepies - Not A Lullaby Not A Lullaby really is a lullaby for a baby or toddler who is resisting being comforted to sleep. When you know that a quiet lullaby will make them sleepy, but if you say you’ll sing a lullaby they protest. So you say don’t worry, this is not a lullaby. 14:38 Reed Pittman - Ask Your Father This is about a solemn promise to my kids that no matter what, they can always come to me. Anything they need, anything they want to ask, any fears or doubts or triumphs or joys, I want them to know they can always share them with me. 18:09 SHEAL - Noa's Song This song was inspired by the birth of my niece and completed after the birth of my first daughter. 21:33 Barry Carroll - Bug My first grandchild is expected to arrive in August. I imagined holding that precious little life for the first time. 25:44 Sophie Janna - Thistle I was worried about climate change and the world that I had brought my baby into - would he know all the flowers that grew around me when I grew up? Would they still be there when he was my age? I felt powerless and that's when I wrote this song. 28:33 N. Kerbin - The Best Day of My Life Any parent will say there are times when you feel like a salmon swimming upstream. But at the end of the day you realize it was the best you've ever had. This song is a reminder (to me!) to stay focused on each day being the best day of my life. 32:22 Hannah May - Earthside This song is all about the love and protection we feel towards new life being brought into the world by a loved one. 35:56 Marti West - Here I wrote this song after the birth of my niece, imagining how a new life can change so many others. 39:20 Maggie Pope - Ballad of Anna Lee This song is about the day my daughter was born. 42:19 Tina Loeffler - A Goodnight Blessing This song is about the little things that count in life. I was thinking of sitting at the bed of my daughter ,singing the song for her and anyone who needs to hear it
