Anime Lover My mother is never there for me ether. My sister owns my favorite dog, Dodge, who, when I never cried or was upset, always came for me. He would pad at my shoulder as if he were saying "Hey! Listen to me! No crying!". Then, he would lick my face continuously until I started laughing. "No crying or i'll lick you till you stop!". But usually, when I get scared, I just turn on a light. Because the only thing i'm scared of is the dark...Though if some one was with me continuously, I would never be scared.
i listened to this on repeat when my mom was stuck in the hospital with a kidney infection. my dad was in another country for a funeral, and i was the only one there looking after her. at first she was sluggish. her blood sugar was in the 400s, and at first i thought it was her grief making her diabetes go haywire, but when she started having chills despite her VERY high fever and crying out from extreme abdominal pain.....i took her to the emergency room. we were int he hospital for four days, and when she left, she was coherent again and the infection was clearing up thanks to the medicine they gave her. this song really helped me stay calm. i was fifteen, sure, but i was scared as all hell. here, the strongest person in my world was horribly sick and i was alone and had no idea how to help. i felt powerless, and i was sure she would die. when we got admitted to the hospital, she was delirious, and scared. i was a child, and i was afraid, and this sweet song means a lot to me because it was one of the things that held me together at that time.
Fifteen would be too young for most people to go through something like that. But you're different than most people. You are strong, you had hope... and fifteen was the correct time for you to learn the lessons you learned that day. You have my best wishes; good luck with life.
I found this several years ago. Now, in 2021, i rediscovered it and I have a newborn daughter. I'll be singing this to her. You know, once i can sing this without crying.
I'm just going to say this-you are never too old or great for a mothers comfort. Some the most bad ass soldiers of history have almost always seen their mother in hallucinations from hard times, and subconsciously wished for her comfort when they've been hurt. I remember about a year ago, when I was 18 and before I left the home for university, I was working very hard at my job. I started having sleepless nights because of the constant stress. One night, I woke up inexplicably screaming. I finally realized what I was doing and shut up before trying to calm myself and go to sleep. Yet, you know who woke up and heard, from across the house, then came and sat down on my bedside and said some comforting words? I eventually quit that job, I realized it just wasn't good for my psychological health. I will never forget that time throughout all of life though. Mothers are the most wonderful thing :).
Maybe if your mother is not the reason you need comforting to begin with. I'm glad though that your don't seem to have any of the same personal experience as me. this is a song my friend showed me. we both had messed up mothers and stepfathers. her dad was at least good until he died. this song kind of gave us comfort when we knew how bad things were for each other. we didn't really talk about it but we both knew what the other was going through. it helped.
@The Wilson Team I know it has been a while since you wrote this comment, but I just wanted to reply and ask how things are. Be honest with your mom though, give her a hug, and if you don't feel like talking about your issues - don't, but give her a hug anyways, I'm sure she'll be glad to return it. I have three younger siblings too, and one older. Sometimes the love isn't evenly distributed, but it is freely given when asked for and needed, believe me on that one. Since I wrote my original comment above I have stopped university and joined the military, and I still believe what I said - the stressful experiences of the past couple years have just proved it more to me than ever.
My dad is gone now but hearing this makes me feel like he’s protecting me in a dark stormy night. He’s still there protecting me my mom and brother. He always knew how to make me feel brave
Makes me think of Lily singing to Harry potter when he was a baby when he cried at night. I always thought Lily had a soft sweet voice and matches it so well.
I just Imagine a kitten alone in a alley in a box alone while a storm is occurring and the kitten is afraid suddenly a wolf comes up and picks her up and sits her under a tree and explains " this May be scary but everyone's scared of something like I'm scared of death. When I was a cub I was afraid too my mom would sing this."the kitten would look at her and the wolf would curl up with the kitten (in a motherly way) and sing this song. Then the wolf would take this kitten and raise her like her own because the wolf couldn't have cubs the end
Part 2 At the age of 15 the fox was now called kit . One day her and her mom (wolf) were running away from hunters and the mum gets shot in the head by an arrow. Kit nudges her mothers head and gets shot in the tail . Kit picks her mum up and takes her to the pack. They cremate her and she becomes a spirit that comes alive on her birth day. When it's not her birthday she'll will remain a constellation in the sky. Kit now sings the song to a wolf that she adopted and named after her mum 'lupa' . Lupa means wolf queen.
This reminds me of a Bible verse in the Psalms: "weeping may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning." I remember as a child (teen) I would cry at night because of hateful things said to me by my mother, but Jesus was always with me. Over the years, difficult things have happened in life (as with many other people-- I'm not claiming to be worse off than anyone else) but when no one else understood how much something hurt, Jesus always understands. Another verse says He is touched by the feelings of our infirmities (in the book of Hebrews.) And over the years, I have seen amazing ways that God provided and took care of me. I have never heard this lullaby before, but I would sing this to my children if I could as say "God" is here. But I did teach them that and they, too, have been comforted and sustained by knowing God is with us, and they teach these truths to their children. So NOW I am thinking of a verse in Psalms that says "I have been young and am now old; never have I seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread." And one is righteous, not by being perfect, but Christ died for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." I wasn't planning to say so much, but this song is so beautiful and it touched my heart.
I used to play this for my cat when there were thunderstorms. She was terrified of them and I would play this while cuddling with her. In the scheme of themes I was probably scared of them as well and we comforted each other ❤️❤️ Miss you Zoe!
When I was like 12, I would sing this to my kittens so we weren't afraid of thunders and storms. Now I'm 21, 10 weeks pregnant and I sing this to my (now) cats and my future child, so they know I will always be here for them and they have nothing to fear.
I was having a withdrawal during a rainstorm. Shaking, crying, my girlfriend at the time wrapped her arms around me and sang our song until I could stop shaking. It wasn't this, but this song makes me remember. I lost her, and wish I hadn't. Every thing is fine in the morning, and I can't wait to see the light again.
xXRedRoseXx Xx I know that this is really weird, but I just wanted to thank you for using 'too' instead of 'to'. I'm a tiny bit of a grammar nut, and it drives me crazy when people put 'to' instead of 'too'.
I have certain lullabies I keep in mind when I write certain stories, I chose lullabies that highlight the certain parts of a parent/child relationship necessary to the story so I have a continuous sorce of inspiration. I have a good amount of stories so I listen to a good amount of lullabies. This one is by far my favorite.
I do something very similar, except certain parent/child (or other adult who's filling the parent role/child) end up with their own songs. So far I've staked out characters for this, Wanderer's Lullaby, and Song of the Sea, and I've gotten a sibling relationship for Derpy's Lullaby. I highly recommend checking those lullabies out!
This makes me actually miss all the thunder and lightning. I moved from a area full of lightning to a place where it is rare. I used to be scared of it but then I loved it. Now it's gone ;( I love everything about the area I live in and plan to stay but I still miss the lightning and the thunder. This reminds me of how I was afraid and grew to love it.
Here's a little cutesy story based on this song. I couldn't resist x3 ~~~ "It's not that bad... they're not really monsters... they're just trees..." a six year old girl with flowing brown hair and mahogany-colored eyes named Violet repeats to herself as she hides under her blankets. Suddenly she hears a harsh scraping against the window, like someone is scratching against its outside with their fingernails. "MAMA!" Her mother rushes in, followed closely by her bleary father. "Vi?" her mother asks, worried. "Are you okay?" "Yes, Mama... I'm just scared..." Violet said, feeling herself shaking beneath the covers and her satin nightclothes. Her mother smiled and walked over to the bed, sitting down and cradling her child in her arms. "It's okay. Everybody gets scared. I'm here." "O-Okay... but.. you don't get scared, Mama. I've never seen you cry." Her mother smiled. "Yes I do. I get scared all the time. But I have two secrets. Want to hear them?" Vi nodded as her mother wiped away the tears that had gathered in the corners of her eyes. "Whenever I hear a tree scrape against the window, I think rationally. Remember the Litany of Tarski?" "Mhm..." "Apply it to monsters. Say it with me." And so they said together, "If there are monsters, I wish to believe there are monsters. If there are no monsters, I wish to believe there are no monsters." Her mother nodded. "And how many monsters have you seen?" "None.." "So there are probably no monsters, right?" "Right." Vi smiled a little bit. "Good girl." She ruffled her daughter's hair, gave her a final hug and got up to walk out the door. "Mama?" Vi asked as her mother was leaving. "Yes Vi?" "What's your second secret?" Her mother turned around where she stood in the doorway and grasped her father's hand, pointing at him. "He's right here." Mother and daughter shared a giggle, and Vi's parents went back to bed. ~~~
***** Thank you! By the way, that method the mother is using to calm her child, is the method I use to calm my little sister when she comes to me (she's scared of the dark). It's also the method I use myself whenever I feel scared of something that probably won't happen / doesn't exist.
***** The Litany of Tarski is something I learned about in Eliezer Yudkowsky's "Rationality". It's actually a meta-litany which specializes for each instance (and this is only appropriate). In this case: "If there are monsters, I wish to believe there are monsters. If there are no monsters, I wish to believe there are no monsters. Let me not become attached to beliefs I may not want." It's based on the idea that once you know something is improbable, you'll stop thinking it's true and prefer to believe the more probable idea. This is not always the case, but in the sense of (comparatively) small things like fears of monsters, and for a child like Vi who was raised to revere the truth, it does work. It can be used not only as an unnecessary-fear suppression tool, but as protection against unfounded conclusions, so another version of this litany that could be useful for a lot of girls these days would be: "If my boyfriend is cheating, I wish to believe my boyfriend is cheating. If my boyfriend is NOT cheating, I wish to believe my boyfriend is NOT cheating. Let me not become attached to beliefs I may not want." This way, it's less likely that you'll simply NOT CONSIDER which is more probable, your statement (monsters, boyfriend cheating) or the alternative (no monsters, boyfriend is not cheating). This way, you might actually bother to conduct a constructive search and find that it's a lot less probable than you initially thought that the scraping sound is a terrifying monster, instead of a tree; or that your boyfriend is just being kind to an old friend, instead of cheating on you. Does all that make sense?
***** Not quite yet, but I'm working on it! When I'm done, it will be up on my website. I intend to have it finished in two weeks, maximum. I can notify you when I'm finished, if you like!
***** I said I would show you when it was finished. It's only proto-finished now and will be actually finished in a couple more weeks (so forgive the digital mess), but the story is up and another will be up tomorrow (and the next day, and the next day, etc. for as long as I have stories to post), so I figured I'd give you a link now. www.jenyalestina.com/china/miscellaneous-vignettes-part-1-charlotte/
I hate sappy shit, but... this makes me feel like a little kid again. I've never had anyone I would let do this, I never felt I could trust anyone. And I've been hurt before I guess, I just want to feel loved by someone. I guess that's just just who God is, for me.
I never really had anyone like this either. And because of that I've become soliditary and I have trouble trusting people. But whenever I was having a breakdown God was always there for me all you have to do is pray.
Everyone is saying random stuff about crying because "it's so beautiful". I'm pretty sure I have no soul, because all I did while listening to it was sit.
I like to sing lullabies to my best friend when he's worried or sad... Today's raining, he would have liked this one... Maybe sounds a bit sissy....but I'll learn it for the next time. Thanks for the video :)
I hate this song, not because it's bad at all. it's beautiful... it's just that when I was younger I never had someone to be there for me during storms, and I was told to suck it up when I cried... it brings back bad memories yet I can't stop listening to it..😞
this song is so sweet. it brings back memories of my sister. she passed away 16 days after birth. I never knew her. she was the oldest. it brought me to tears
I was 11 when I first heard this. It was late, and I was struggling mentally. When I was 12 I was sent to a psychiatric center for troubled youth. I had this song downloaded on my iPod. I am now eighteen years old, when I remembered this. It’s currently 9:47 pm. I am a punk, a metal head, and have done enough things on a daily my friends have all accepted I’m going to die first. I am crying uncontrollably, with my roommate looking at me as though I have completely lost my mind. Words are beautiful. Mothers are beautiful. Love your mother. You will not have another, and nobody will love you as much as she does. If she ever sees this, I love you Mama. Even though we fight about my clothes, my music, my tattoos, and my piercings. I love you Mama.
I can’t understand why this woman isn’t a world famous singer! Her voice is incredibly beautiful, and this song is one everyone can relate to and love, although she has many really beautiful songs. Wonderful song!
Yeah she is really incredible. She is actually even better when she is live, i actually watched her live cover of Radiohead's Idioteque and i was blown away by how good it was.
pure blood princess- i'm scared mother, queen vampire- hush child your safe with me.. (HUGS) queen vampire- just (smile) pure blood princess- mother are we really monsters? queen vampire- your a beautiful one
For years my sister used to sing this song to me whenever it'd rain and thunder, cause I was terrified. I'm 18 now, and haven't been afraid of rain, or thunder since I was 10. I love you, older sister. This is so nostalgic, I can instantly remember all the lyrics. ❤️
May Odin strike down those who have disliked such a beautifully deep and wonderful song. This is one of the most beautiful things I have heard in my life.
Im listening to this on a night when im really sick with the flu and too tired to get out of bed, and i honestly didnt expect to start crying. But once i started, i couldn't stop, and my dog who was at the foot of my bed came closer to me and snuggled up next to me...
i have heard this song 100's of times and it always gets me to ALMOST cry. i grew up being afriad to even step outside of my own house. i love this song.
Does anyone else kinda feel like this is what toriels voice would sound like if frisk got scared of a storm. I just feel like she would sing this to him.
Came here specifically looking for a lullaby for her to sing. .... I dont understand the random duet tho? I mean okay... but.... why suddenly a duet right at the end?
((Have lullaby on when reading this)) Whenever me and my friends are sad, we sing this lullaby. It makes us become closer as we watch rain fall, it rains a lot. Nothing can beat what we do together. It makes the day brighter when you have someone close to you... The only thing that can give a smile to a rainy day is when 3 friends always help each other and cheer each other up. . . This is what this lullaby does and means to me. . .
Songs like this are really a great source of comfort to me, especially around times like now. My medically fragile little brother has covid and is in the hospital 3 hours away from my home. My mom is with him as well and my family is pretty stressed out. I love playing songs like this before I go yo bed to remind me that everything will be okay. I will definitely sing this to my children someday.
Whenever I hear this song, I always see a flashback of someone who never cries or ever gets scared as a little kid during a storm and they have something that's a bit broken with them and then, someone just goes and helps them understand what it is their really afraid of, or what their really afraid turns out to be really one giant sweetheart that just is lonely... kinda like one story of Frankenstein I've read (or just maybe made up while reading a different story about him XI)
When I hear this I think of my book character, a small wolf pup who is scared of everything. One rainy night thunder roared in the sky and the pup jumped and ran further into the cave. He started to cry but his mother came and began to sing this song to him, after a while he stopped crying and hugged mother and fell asleep while listing to the rest of her lullaby...
Beautiful song, I am still crying as I listen. I want to memorize this tune in hopes that one day Gaia in her infinite wisdom deigns fit to make me a father and I must comfort my own little one.
i remember this song,i used to listen when i was 9 when i was 5,i met my first Dog.She's friendly and kind for me... But i'm scared of thunders but....my dog best friend. she used to dried up my tears i was happy with her.... but now.....she died by sickness i cried too much in the bed and i can't sleep... i gave flowers to her *"pets is also a part of family"* sweet dream,my friend from the past
It was storming one night and I held my mom's hand and would squeeze it whenever there was lightning or thunder she held my hand all night and said "it's okay, Mommy's here." I'm 17 but no matter what she will forever be my comfort and best friend
Absolutely the most beautiful sound to my ears. Another song I listen to every morning before I start work. Love it. Trying to learn the lyrics so I can record it in my studio just for myself because I love it so much. Thank you for your talent!!!!
Wow almost all of the comments is sad and all but when I was little I would sing this song to my dog when she a puppy because she was afraid of thunder storms... I felt bad because she would curl up in the corner shaking so I would just hug her and sing this
So, this is a really pretty song, and I know this wasn't what was meant, but around 0:50 what I heard was "With an unwanted stranger there is no danger." Good news kiddies, strangers are completely harmless! And they have free candy. Neat
This randomly appeared on my feed, and I’m so glad it did. It’s such a beautiful and gentle song. I grew up terrified of storms. I still get nervous with them. Nothing is more reassuring than someone’s love for you during a storm. Whether it’s a mom, a dad, a brother, a grandma, even your best friend. That love makes the unfamiliar and scary things seem so familiar and beautiful.
I've always been afraid of storms. used to cry to sleep and my mother hugged me. Now I am 18 and a mother. I can't be afraid anymore so I sing this to my little baby as a lullaby. I miss my mom's hugs
ok you can call me crazy but on the last 2-3 tests i took i silently sang this song to myself to calm me down...i get waayyy to panicky when it comes to those
+ZenSen Neal Now i am really sad, this just remind me how crapy their lives are. But yes, thats the only thing that I picture while listening to the song
I used to be scared of thunderstorms when I was little; and I would always go in with my Grandpa and then I could fall asleep. This song reminds me of those days; especially the “But a gentle someone always came..” and such. I love my grandpa so much; even now when I’m 17. I’m going to sing this to my kids if they’re afraid of thunderstorms when they’re younger.
i used to listen to this song years ago when i lived with my mom and life was terrible and nothing was safe or stable, but now i live with my dad and i'm so much older now and life is great and i'm crying ;-;
