Soundtrack to Evie's Life

Posted about 4 years ago
I guess until recently, I haven't totally grasped the importance of really well written children's music. My daughter is crazy for music at 2 and a half... We started out with Jason Faulkner's "Bedtime with the Beatles" then got into the jangly upbeat "Catch That Train" album by Dan Zanes. Now that Evie is into movies, we are hooked on the songs sung by Amy Adam's from the movie Enchanted. Sound of Music and Annie are right up there with content and singability. And I have to say, I am grateful for some nice melodies, and words that have content and a sense of humour. So sing on little one, music should be viewed as a core part of our existence from an early age.That's all from here.. off to clean the playroom and sing "The Happy Working Song".

    funoka says Nice post -- love that Dan Zanes. Do you have any Elizabeth Mitchell (of Ida)? Someone gave my wife her CD "You Are My Little Bird" and it's very good -- lots of kiddie favorites done very well. Daddy likes it when it's sleepy time. NPR story on her here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6210683

    KezOnTourAgain says My best friend and her little tribe swear by the Colours Are Brighter album http://www.coloursarebrighter.com/ Put together by Belle and Sebastien, it features Snow Patrol, The Kooks, Franz Ferdinand, Kathryn Williams, and others, performing songs written for children; some original, some are cover versions. The opening track, by Four Tet - Go Go Ninja Dinosaur! - has been stuck in my head for AGES. I do not have kids. :D It's a charity album, for a good cause too - funds from the album will go to Save the Children's Rewrite the Future campaign to provide quality education for 8 million children in areas around the world affected by war and conflict.
