Any ideas?
I am trying to pick out songs for my husband to burn onto a CD for labor and
delivery and was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions. I need ideas for calm/mellow music (I have already chosen some of Norah Jones songs) and then some upbeat songs. Thanks! Kat Mama to Maggie 11/03/01 and #2 EDD 02/01/04 |

Metallica :-) I didn't end up listening to any music while in labor, aside from a brief stint with Adagio (a CD of yoga-practice music), but that was mostly because no one suggested it and I didn't think of it myself. I'm not a big music-person and so I don't know if I would have liked it or not, but I do think several of Metallica's songs would be good to labor to. -- Em mama to Lann, 9/21/03 |

Norah Jones is an excellent choice for mellow. Cheesy, I know, but when I
want mellow I love old Simon and Garfunkel (a la S&G's Greatest Hits cd) and the Carpenters- the songs that really show off Karen's smooth, mellow voice, not so much the songs that are cheesed up and have her brother on them. |

What also surprised me was that my doula loves Metallica as well (it didn't fit in my image of her for some reason:-)) Kat Mama to Maggie 11/03/01 and #2 EDD 02/01/04 |

I recently found an artist called John Mayer. His Room for Squares album is
awesome. I especially like 3 x 5. It's upbeat and soothing at the same time.... "Kat" wrote in message ...

I need ideas for calm/mellow music (I have already chosen some of Norah Jones songs) and then some upbeat songs. Thanks!

You Made Me Love You - J.D. again Go To Sleep Little Baby - Oh Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack A Kiss To Build a Dream On - Louie Armstrong I'm So Glad It Was You - Carol King, You've Got Mail soundtrack Golden Slumbers - Ben Folds Once In A Blue Moon - Sydney Forest, from the Simply Irresistible soundtrack Dreamsome - Shelby Lynn, from the Bridget Jones' Diary Soundtrack Until - Sting Mother Natures Son - Sheryl Crow What a Difference A Day Makes - Tony Bennett Have You Met Miss Jones - Robbie Williams (B.J.'s D. too) An Affair to Remember - the score, from the Sleepless In Seattle soundtrack So You Are To Me - Eastmountiansouth Samwise The Brave - LOTR Two Towers soundtrack, track 18 Farewell to Lorien - LOTR TT, track 20 You Belong To Me - Jason Wade, from the Shrek soundtrack When You Know - Shawn Colvin Song For You - Ray Charles Cathedrals - Jump Little Children (song played at the end of Everwood's season finale last year) At Last - Etta James (long version) Songs from the playlist I run when I'm working (assorted mellowish and peppier music): I Am Superman - REM Beautiful One - Johnny Lang Wave Goodbye - Steadman Call and Answer - Bare Naked Ladies Falling For the First Time - B.N.L. It's All Been Done - B.N.L. again New Favorite Things - Balligomo Ft. Lucy Woodward All The Small Things - Blink 182 I Don't Want To Be - Gavin DeGraw (One Tree Hill's intro) Not Of This Earth - Robbie Williams (B.J.'sD. soundtrack too I think) Breathe - Michelle Branch Are You Happy Now - M.B. You Set Me Free - M.B. One Of These Days - M.B. again Long Time Gone - Dixie Chicks It Had To Be You - Harry Connick Jr., from the When Harry Met Sally soundtrack A Wink And A Smile - H.C. Jr. too, Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack Falling - Donna Lewis, from the Simply Irresistible soundtrack The Puppy Song - Harry Nilsson, You've Got Mail soundtrack (have you noticed that I like a few songs from movies?) Perfect Day - Hoku Wherever You Will Go - The Calling Hero - Chad Kroeger Today's The Day - Aimee Mann Anywhere You Go - Shawn Colvin Breathe In - Paloalto Time - Chantal Kreviazuk Falling Down - Avril Lavigne Extraordinary - Liz Phair (I love this song) Take A Look - L.P. (on second thought, this might not be a good choice... listen to the lyrics... lol) Why Can't I - L.P. again Breathing - Lifehouse Hangin' By A Moment - Lifehouse (acoustic version) Somewhere In Between - Lifehouse Summer Sun - Koop (jazz - get the orig. version) Breathe - Faith Hill The Secret Of Life - F.H. (I also have Cry on this playlist, but I'm not sure it's appropriate for labor...) Bring On The Day - Charlotte Martin, Sweet Home Alabama soundtrack Mine All Mine - She Daisy (good song, don't know if it's a good labor choice...) You know, as I'm going though the work list I keep encountering these songs I love and have been bopping my head (et al) to while working that take on a whole new meaning when you think of them being played during labor. For example I was going to suggest a few things from Sixpense None the Richer (eyes wide open, breathe your name, and don't dream it's over), but the lyrics in them... well download 'em and listen. Also, as I'm picking out these songs from the viewpoint of would "I" want to listen to them during labor, I'm discovering trends in my choices. Some things like Hero & Extraordianry, all the songs with breath in their titles, and so on. It's been veeeery interesting listening to 'em as I go over my playlists to see if I want to include them on this list. Anyway, back to the list... Here With Me - Plumb Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai Breathless - The Corrs The rest of the songs I'd suggest would be many from (if not all of ) Sarah Mclachlans new album (Afterglow), and songs from Avril Lavigne, Natalie Merchant, Hillary Duff (no, really - good sound to stuff like Anywhere But Here), more from Liz Phair, more from the Spirited Away soundtrack, Nickleback, Third Eye Blind, Coldplay, more from Michelle Branch, Natalie Imbruglia, some of Diana Krall's songs... This could be a much longer list. ) Oh, and I ditto the suggestion for John Mayer's songs. I particularly like 83, St. Patrick's Day, Moonlight Kiss (serendipity soundtrack), Why Georgia, Not Myself, and No Such Thing. M |
