Thank you for warnings. I did not know that it was linked to the Holocaust (though on rereading of the lyrics, it's almost surprising I didn't figure it out myself).
I...there's a certain extent to which the lullabies I sing *aren't* things I find comforting, except in that they make me cry consistently, and familiar tears are the easiest tears to deal with. Which is to say, I can only sometimes successfully sing all of "Circle Game" and I can almost *never* sing all of "The Babysitter's Here". And I mean --"when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall"? Lullabies are not happy songs.
But yes. Warning appreciated, will keep in mind for the future.
