Nursery Rhyme


Hush Little Baby
The lyrics of Hush Little Baby 'promise all kinds of rewards to the child if he or she is quiet'. I believe that this nursery rhyme is probably the most suitable as the relation to our plot, as the mother at the age of 17 was forced to keep quiet about her abortion. I also believe that from a technical side it would be easy for us to record the nursery rhyme as well as manipulating the track by adding echo to the vocals and stretching the whole track out to achieve a slower tempo thus creating a more scarier and haunted effect.

Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing, Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turn brass, Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke, Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat don't pull, Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over, Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark. Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down, Well you'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
