Playlist 1 of 8 · Wind down
Wind-Down Lullaby Songs
Warm, unhurried instrumentals for the hour before bed: bath, pyjamas, a last bit of quiet play. Gentle enough to be background, with enough shape to mark the end of the day.
Warm instrumentals for the hour before bed
About this playlist
This is the first playlist in the bedtime routine on this site. It is the warmest and the least sleepy of the eight, on purpose: a lullaby does not have to be a sleep switch, and many evenings begin with a slow, friendly sound that says the day is winding down.
The songs are instrumental lofi-style pieces with soft keys, mellow guitar and a slow, steady pulse. There are no vocals, no sudden loud parts and nothing to sing along to, so they sit comfortably under bath splashes and quiet conversation.
When it is time for the next step, press the bottom player or go to the Storybook playlist. The music keeps playing while you change pages.
