Alternative Lullaby Music for Children + Giveaway!

Bookmark and Share

Good news for those of us who are fans of music from bands such as U2, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails and The Beatles and want to introduce this music to our children.

Rockaby Baby! transforms punk, metal and timeless rock into instrumental lullabies by trading guitars and drums for soothing mellotrons, vibraphones and bells. The music becomes soft enough for the little ones, yet the melody stays the same.

When I first heard about the idea I found myself with an expression of disbelief. Wouldn’t this ruin the music?

I heard some short bits of music provided at the Rockabye Baby! website and two albums that was sent to me – More Lullaby Renditions of The Beatles og Lullaby Renditions of Tool.

I was pleasantly surprised, as they seem to be able to stay in tune (no pun intended) with the soul of the songs whilst changing it radically in order to make it sound just like a lullaby. What they do really works and it is music I would recommend to any music loving parent.

Rockabye Baby! has made 28 lullaby albums until now, with music from bands like U2, Metallica, Rolling Stones and AC/DC.

All Rockabye Baby! albums can be bought through their website for 16,98 USD.

GIVEAWAY!

Price: One lucky winner will be able to download one album of their choice from Rockabye Baby!

Normann Copenhagen’s modern version of the classic soap box cart is a brightly colored heirloom.

Even though it’s a very clean cut and modern looking cart, they’ve still kept some of that lovely home made vintage look by using details like skew boards and headlights.

Normann Copenhagens Soapbox Carts are hand made in Denmark and can be purchased at Wannekes for the exclusive (slightly expensive) price of 2400.00 EUR ~ around 3500 USD.
