JogaBjörk6rank/position

Björk – Joga

Opening in a solemn atmosphere, this song is “Jóga,” released in 1997 by the Icelandic singer-songwriter Björk.

It’s a beautiful piece where her vocals and the strings harmonize exquisitely.

While not a bright song, Björk’s expansive voice, like gentle waves, is soothing.

She wrote it inspired by her own experience of being deeply moved by human vitality.

It’s a song that conveys the strength of life—one you’d want to play for a baby.

The sound is upbeat and makes kids feel excited, so why not try dancing with the Smurfs like in the video?

Dreams Are More PreciousEnya10rank/position

Enya – Dreams Are More Precious (Lyric Video)

This song, which was used as the theme for the 2009 TV drama “Aru Fureta Kiseki,” was created by Enya in 2008.

The lyrics encourage you to think of nature in difficult times and to sleep.

It’s like a lullaby for humankind, so rather than thinking of it as an adult’s song, it might be nice to play it for babies as well.

Enya’s soothing voice would likely calm a baby and lull them to sleep quickly.

Exposing children to a variety of music from a young age—not just children’s songs—also supports brain development.
