True story: When I first heard the Christmas carol, "Here We Come a-Wassailing" (disguised as "Here We Come a-Caroling"), my parents had the version by The New Christy Minstrels (1960s). So when we were going to sing it in a general assembly at my elementary school, I was totally taken aback! The "correct" version is, of course, kn 6/8 time, whereas TNCMs sang it in a straight 4. I was totally unprepared to sing it the school's way! Being a tad on the autism spectrum, I was completely disoriented, to the point of a breakdown. Fortunately not scarred for life, but it was an early introduction into listening a tad better than just assuming. I also learned about "arranging" from this incident. Fun fact: I will oftentimes listen to a Herb Alpert arrangement of a song, but more quickly go to another recording of a song, to hear how it's "really supposed to be." Just makes me appreciate both the original and Herb's take on the same song.

"Ring around the Rosie" has this 49 year old in tears. It is what wistful nostalgia sounds like, it makes me feel exactly as I do when I visit my hometown. I played in this park, slid down that slide, swung on those swings, played in that sandbox, but they're long gone... replaced by a new park...

In my opinion, three entries that balanced rhytmic complexity and overall quality are: London Bridge by Aimee Nolte (Really the best, as someone said, it could be at children's party, soundtrack to my breakfast and on a hit single by David Brubeck.) Frere Jacques by David Bennett (It works really well in 7, it's really smooth and pleasant to listen to - huge thanks to harmonic choices - , while simultaneously having really familiar melody. Perfect example that odd time sig doesn't need to be odd.) Ring-a-Ring o' Roses by Justice Cow (It might not be as good for singing for obvious reasons, but it has a perfect, chill feel to it while softly reminding the listener of original melody.)

Listening to this really showed me how little I understand about music. It took me ages to hear the polyrhythms. I’m a hobbyist at best, but I always wanted to study music composition. Not exactly the most thrilling revelation to asian parents. Thank you providing so much information for free. I doubt I’ll ever get the chance to do what you do, but what I learn from you and your colleagues is probably the only thing keeping me tethered. This year has been a nightmare: I’ve lost almost everything I’ve ever loved. But I still have all the nuances and idiosyncrasies of music to hold onto.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen and heard. I've been sitting here for hours relistening to all these songs. A few, however, really hit me. Frere Jaques was incredibly inspiring. It's absolutely playlist material. London Bridge, as others have said, sounds like a Giraldi and Brubeck collaboration, two of my favorite sounds. But Jessica's Ring o' Roses totally blew me away. After about the third time listening, I honestly was in the exact same mindset as when listening to Close to the Edge. Thank you all!
