Yup! Kindergarden music class :/ I thought it was kinda freaky cause in my class, we had pictures to go along with it @_@... so there's a silloette of an old lady, but has the shape of a horse inside of here :/ Think the last pic was of a whale trying to be shoved inside her mouth or something. I wonder how many kids got traumatized over THAT!

Mum would sing "Amazing Grace" and... I don't know the name... "Though none go with me, still I will follow/though none go with me, still I will follow/though none go with me, still I will follow/no turning back, no turning back" as lullabies.
*Teary*

Audio A's "Big House", DCTalk's "Jesus Freak", and RsJ's "God" were some of my favorites back then. They are among the few from that period in my life that still are.
(Don't worry, Barney Anon has done wonders for me.)

I can't say I really remember much of when I was little. I hardly saw my parents due to them having to constantly work but I do have strong memories of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" ^^; I can't recall ever really learning it or hearing it anywhere but when I'm alone, worried, bored out of my mind I usually end up humming it. My mother said my grandmother use to sing it to me when I was a baby (I'm talking a few months old here).

Only worked for my grandmother. Mom says she would try and sing it to me while in the rocking chair to get me ready for bed but it never worked. (I was a horrible child ^_^ I never made anything easy on her *mischievous laugh*)
"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
