Spending the night singing

[jbailey]

I assume that I was sung songs when I was little, but I don't really remember them. I do remember my mom singing "You are my sunshine" to me (but only the chorus, as she thought the first verse was too sad. I'm glad that she never heard the remaining creepy stalker verses from the O Brother soundtrack). Angie will sing lullabies that she remembers, but she's the oldest of three kids, whereas I'm the youngest of two by five years.

So all this to explain why at 4am I was singing Leif to sleep with songs from The Dances of Universal Peace. Walking in circles singing them reminded me that I haven't been to the dances in a while. They're on the second Tuesday of the month here in Montréal.

Mmm, yeah. It always makes me think of that creepy prayer you hear in movies. The "Now I lay me down to sleep.." one.
