And there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns
When you're gone
There's a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can't stand
What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon
There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall
Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon
While you're up so high
How can you save me
When the dark comes here
Tonight to take me up
To my front walk
And into bed where it kisses my face
And eats my head
What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon
Indeed. Both RP and the song were new. This is where I first heard this song and quite frankly about the only place I ever hear it other than when listening to my own stuff.
This is one of the songs that sank the hook in me for RP. Been here ever since.
Kill Bill
Solid 7 from me, your lil lovin' piggy
Nectar Basil?
Vector Nasal.
Nectar Basil?
Better than Waldorf Spinach.
Nectar Basil?
This version is good too.
Well, she claims she's "just a little baby", so if the shoe fits.... (Irritating factor higher due to vocal style + lyrics though.)
Years ago, my daughter had a paper round, delivering the big Sunday papers in our Scottish town. Early Sunday mornings I would take her up to the shop where she picked up her papers for that morning's deliveries — 05:00 a.m., or so.
One winter morning (Scotland — dark!) we were sitting in the car waiting for the shop to prepare the order. On to our local radio came Shivaree "Goodnight Moon", under a moonlit sky. We loved it — still do!
Your little narration immersed me in this specific early morning ,on a winter sunday in Scotland, for a moment erasing the walls of a finishing summer in Beijing. I saw your two shadows in the car, the slight condensation on the windows, the clear echoes of an empty street, and this song, this shared moment. Beautiful suspended moment. Thank you

Don't harsh my chub!
Yep.
Nope.
You should listen to RP more....far less repetition than whatever you've been tuned into. It's only been played 4 times in the last 30 days. Maybe it just catches your ear...
I hear it every few days. Like it initially but tired of it.
No, it's a different riff, but it's a little, 8-note "turn-around", composed of notes from a minor scale. There are only seven notes in a scale, which may explain the auditory similarity.
Very basic human animal moon... Cold and wet arrives tomorrow... Seasons are ok in moderation. Some places have too much of each flavor
Life is great on the North Florida beaches...
RP choices this morning fit my weather and enhance the mood... Why do I buy CDs, vinyl, and singles-? Maybe I should surrender to the inevitable and stream RP throughout the house all the time... Just "ride the music" and let it flow... Thanks, never had that thought with Pandora, spotify, or any over the air-via-internet and competing streams... Yep, I'm a fan and like the sensibility shown.
She does somewhat, but I don't know if I'd say "exactly". E.G. Daily is an odd person to bring up; it's not as if she's sold a whole lot of records - isn't she primarily a voice actor? I remember her from a PBS TV program called "The Righteous Apples" in the early 1980s.
Anyhow, good tune.
Just what the hell are you growing out in Broome?
Hey, sorry for taking so long: the smoker you get the player you are. The climate here is arid tropical, perfect for horticulture fanciers.
Sexy Song....
Thanks for playing!!

I love the smell of condescension in the morning..... it smells..... like.... victory.

Err, would that be a visual sandwich (or a woman in the coven having a yodel? = songwitch) caused by watching Tarantino movies?

but
Leonard Cohen much ?
Sure. It's good the influences are transparent. Paying your respects to someone who led the way in the genre is fine by me.

Leonard Cohen much ?
yes...
Apparently a crowd had gathered a couple of nights running (they even put up posters to spread the word) to try to extort money from a wealthy member of the community. In one of these a shot was fired and my ancestor, a servant in the man's household, was killed. He left a wife and children, and his death led to the banning of shivarees in Montreal.

"Goodnight Moon"
There's a nail in the door

..lyrics are "south of neanderthal" too?.. :P
Combo of Britney & Gwen Stefani. Bluk...
I was about to post the same thing.... HAHA
Yep, same here.
"Linkify" What a marvelous, worthless verbification. I can't wait to loopify my friends about this. Thanks!
Actually, I do like this song.
That and the fact that it was in Kill Bill. Both this song and that movie make me happy.
Glad we just have bachelor parties before the ceremony now.
That's a very sweet and sincere response but I don't think the song is that serious. I've always assumed that the self-consciously "spooky" arrangement was a tip that the tone was more gothic cartoonish - like Tim Burton & Henry Sellick's "Nightmare Before Christmas".

I got to know this lovely song from one of the best playlists ever on YouTube : Wiremux's Modern Noir Songs . Such a shame that she disappeared without a trace and took all her playlists down. Fans put copies of the playlists back up, so there's still some playlists of her to be found.
Indeed, that is a wonderful playlist!!! Thank you for citing it here!
