Polysomnography: Lullaby.21

Jane Norman tries a talky-whispery delivery for her “Christmas Lullaby,” also addressed to Mary.

Michael J Toma also prefers spoken lyrics in “A Lullaby for All.” This declarative folk pop brooks no sneaking and peeking. It’s bedtime.

A quicker rhythm marks Lori O’Toole Buselt (feat. Corinne Levy)’s “Christmas Lullaby.” Counting the Savior’s fingers and toes is precious, but reminding him to do His Dad’s job is pushing it.

Sarah Winter also counts digits, this time to Brahm’s, in her (sl-ow-er) “Mary’s Lullaby.” Forcing scripture into this rhythm isn’t easy.
