Obviously not a song I sing to my kids, but one I'll often play as they're drifting off to sleep. It has become one of my favorite pieces, and I think this performance nails it (minus the coughing audience members). Right about 2 minutes in, when it almost seems like the song could be winding up, but then it shifts into an other-world quality... perfectly dream-like. I haven't stopped being wowed by that, despite hearing the song probably a hundred times.

Rufus Wainwright + A Lot Of People – Hallelujah
Welcome to another iteration of Philosofer week on our video series. This time around I decided to spin some tracks that we regularly sing or play for our children, especially focused on trying to get them to bed. I hope you enjoy!
We'll start off with one of the most over-played songs, but one that I still love all the same. I thought this version offered something a little new, plus Rufus Wainwright's iteration is my favorite anyway, so bonus!
Glenn Tilbrook – Black Coffee in Bed
The Squeeze song thats not "Tempted"
Nick Lowe – The Beast in Me
Johnny Cash does a great job with this Lowe penned tune, but I really love this performance by Nick.
Leopold and His Fiction – I’m Caving In
I bought the Leopold's 2017 release Darling Destroyer and really wanted to like it. I didn't. But loved this song, and plays regularly in my rotation.
Van Morrison – Wavelength
Clap your hands and sing along!
The Cult – Edie
Its like 3rd generation VHS dubbed, but this song still rocks.
The Bear – I Want
I hope you like!
