It just doesn’t seem real that one family of seven kids can have so much musical talent. They feed off each other.... And that will only make them get better and better , although, they are already excellent. Never heard of this piece but it’s quite lovely. Bravo to you all once again.

For me this music evokes the fragility of life and how all of the Earth's creatures are dependent on the decisions we make and how we treat them and the environment we live in, and ultimately our own existence. Guard and protect our Earth. We only get one.

I've listened to this family's music for a few years now, and have always been partial to their redendtion of this song as the absolute most beautiful. So much so, my family and I ensured it played prior, during, and after end-of-life moments with our beloved dog of 14 years, Shelby. In that way every listening takes us back to her, and the lullaby we said goodbye to her with. Every journey has been like the very first, and therein lies the majestic beauty of this song.
