Last month I made a playlist with some of my favourite melodies on Spotify. I chose those which had a mellow rhythm and would hopefully lull my newborn grandson, Marcos, to sleep, or at least calm him down!
I’m not a great fan of most nursery songs for helping children to sleep or relax, they’re either too short and repetitive or too lively to encourage rest!
As I compiled some of my some of my favourite, calming songs, I also use this playlist sometimes while I’m writing, although mostly I prefer silence.
I’ll be posting one of the songs with a haiku or tanka on Saturdays with the spotify link to the song.
Singalong, enjoy and have a great Saturday!
For once in her life
She has someone who needs her,
His voice fills her hopes,
His smile fills her heart with love,
Her dreams shine in his wide eyes.
For Lidia.

I love Steve Wonder’s songs! They’re so feel-good and emotionally energising. There’s more than one in Marcos’ playlist.

What a great idea, Luccia. I hadn’t thought of Bill Withers in a long time. Didn’t he also sing Lean on Me? I loved that song. Hope you are doing well 🙂

Yes, it’s really easy to find your favourite songs and make playlists nowadays. I use spotify, but I’m sure there are other similar apps out there!

I like the joke about the Japanese fan who wanted Stevie to play Jazz Chord – I jazz chord to say I rove you!
