ClaireinSE22 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Lovely thread. So glad I'm not the only soppy fool. In the Night Garden intro and the 'Looking up, looking down..etc' music makes my heart ache too much - btw, does anyone else wonder if the Night Garden is an allegory on the after life? My boys only 2yrs now but I'm already worrying how I will get through the school nativity without being reduced to convulsive sobbing.

Otta Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I've always thought of it as dream land. Afterlife adds rather a sinister edge to it, like the other place in Twin Peaks with the backward speaking midget *shudders*Aaaaanyway, there is a wonderful song called "Roller in the coaster" by a guy called Justin Roberts, who sings songs for kids. Beautiful lyrics, and I love to cuddle my daughter to it.

Bonfire2010 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Oooh - I agree with Otta, the afterlife does make it all seem a bit creepy. Plus, the thought of seeing Iggle Piggle et al on the other side does not appeal! I've also thought it's a dream-like place, as the child at the beginning falls asleep Iggle Piggle floats off on his boat into the night to the land of dreams.The solo at the beginning of 'Once in Royal David's City' always gets me as well. We watch 'Carols from Kings' on Christmas Eve and hearing it always makes me feel like christmas has properly started. Just thinking of watching it with my little boy for the first time this christmas is making me feel quite emotional.
