Thalaatu.. is a tamil word meaning a really sleepy song.. ha ha.. yea, to make babies sleep.

On a side note, I don't know why babies can't understand the depth and energy of sounds in rock music.. with all those bass guitars and double-bass guitars.. How would it be.. if babies grow up to hear something like '18 till I die', or 'back in the summer of 69'.. :o).

Coming back to this post... is english music really only for adults.. no says michael.. Don't ask me who.. but there is this long time fav band of mine 'Michael learns to rock MLTR'.. and so I happily assume michael should be somebody's name in that band.

There is this song 'Sleeping child' .. so polite.. so mild.. with a husky voice of somebody from MLTR (michael, we will assume)..

Though I have never slept hearing it, it still is one of my fav from MLTR.. and its lyrics and music will suggest that it is indeed a thalaatu. and I really believe, babies will sleep for this song.

Read these simple lyrics here... try it on your baby or somebody's baby.. and see him/her stare wild at you.. ("who's this crazy guy...wyaaaeeeee mommy")

But. if you honestly want to sing it well with guitar and all in hand.. here's a youtube karoake thing for the song. (the video in the youtube thing has nothing to do with the actual band or the song i think.. somebody seems to have made this karoake video from a crazy beach full of people)

Happy singing..

ah. no.. I haven't tried it on any child yet. I am still trying it on myself.
