I have been wondering quite some time about this.
MOST LULLABIES SEEMS VERY SADO-MASOCHISTIC DON'T YOU THINK?
Don’t believe me? Hahaha, I never ask you to whut (omg I’m getting lame & FYI my brain is totally fried today ‘cos I printed out my reference list three times and I still got the formatting wrong) Anyway, d examine these famous lullaby lyrics including some of the most famous nursery rhymes (Jack and Jill, Georgie Porgie). Okay maybe SM is a wrong adjective to describe it but what I’m trying to say is that most of the lyrics depict something negative and bad and yet they are sung so soothingly and have sleeping properties as bedtime stories?
WHAT AN IRONY! (BUT I DON’T MEAN THEY ARE EVIL HOKAY)!
LONDON BRIDGE
London bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down
London bridge is falling down
My fair lady.
ROCK-A-BYE-BABY
(my favourite lullaby!(: the tune’s very soothing but very sad…)
Rock-a-bye-baby, in the tree top
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
GEORGIE PORGIE
Georgie Porgie pudding and pie,
Kissed the girl and make them cry
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie porgie ran away.
Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up got Jack, and home did trot
As fast as he could caper
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.
Okay, for nursery rhymes, they are actually based on history… but still lullabies and nursery rhymes are supposed to sound happy what, or so I think ‘cos it is associated with children and babies right.
Alrighty I’m tired already and I have to force myself to study BEH MOD~
