More often than not, I find myself singing Wild Mountainside. Written by John Douglas (no doubt channelling Rabbie Burns) of the Trashcan Sinatras, and most famously performed by the Queen Eddi Reader at the opening of the new Scottish Parliament building.
Recently, a young friend brought his newly born sweet babe Betty Rose into the office. She was acting all red faced and fussy at being held by strangers. I was biting at the bit for my turn, trying hard to be patient. Once in my arms, instinct took over and as I softly sang her this oh so soothing melody she completely relaxed and opened her eyes. :)
Many thanks to mabooto for posting this video.
