1.	Good Morning Melody 05:01	lyrics	buy track
n the early morning while I'm still half sleeping the sun's rising and I hear a symphony The wind's whistling dew drops fall from a tree a bird starts to sing a morning melody (hmm hmm doo doo doo) My mind's translating the words the birds singing but, I'm sleepy so this is how it sounds to me: wake up, wake up, get up, sleppyhead it's time for you to get out of bed make some coffee and toast, toast some bread brush brush your teeth and wash wash your face put on some clothes and get to some place get out the door get on on your way it's time for you to start start your day In the early morning I hear a symphony (wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
2.	Bedroom Bossa Band (free) 02:44	lyrics	download
Wake up open my eyes and start my list of "why?"s. Up up up in the sky I can see a little bird fly. What's that he's carrying? Is it a tiny seed? Will it turn into a tree... one that might carry me... up up into the sky where I saw that little guy fly? And will I be small and shy if the bird drops by. Or will we chat and will we sing? And if so, what will he bring? Will he bring the little seed the little one the tree will need... that little seed it needs to grow to meet the sky and say hello? I decide I just don't know. It must must just just be so. But it's like a little show like looking at a Van Gogh. Thoughts and clouds blow to and fro as I gaze out my window.

And will I be small and shy if the bird drops by.

If we lived up above the clouds it would be so nice so nice so nice But we liveon the ground, so we dance around and sing this sound doo doo doo doo so nice so nice so we go to sleep at night
8.	Floating Away 07:59	lyrics	buy track
I think I’m floating away (away, away away, away, away…) up up and away up up and away up up and away up up and away good bye I am floating away to the moon I’m floating up like a ballon when I’m in the air I see a bird in the cloud and we dance and play marching band

about

" Lullatone's fourth album, Plays Pajama Pop Pour Vous, coaxes its bass drum sounds from a pillow. One half of the Nagoya, Japan-based duo, Shawn James Seymour pulls naptime melodies out of thin air, while Yoshimi Tomida whispers about little birds, waking up, and castles in the sky. In the tradition of Kyoto-based producer Nobukazu Takemura, whose Childisc label released their 2003 sophomore effort My Petit Melodies, Lullatone papier-mâché the childlike sounds of bell-tone synths and toy glockenspiel into imaginative, minimalist pop.

Gentle sine waves bounce repetitively throughout sleepy-eyed opener "Good Morning Melody" and yawning synth exercise "Magical...", drifting across unhurried rhythms. It's as if they might evaporate altogether when you open your eyes. Eight-minute finale "Floating Away", with an ideal beat for a slumberland discotheque, uses stereo trickery to create the illusion that reclining headphone listeners are beginning to hover. But then, the defining sensation of Plays Pajama Pop Pour Vous is weightlessness.

Nonetheless, Lullatone can't neatly be filed alongside such kinder-pop acts as the Boy Least Likely To or Architecture in Helsinki. Plays Pajama Pop Pour Vous is interested not so much in being cute as in being cute majestically. Ukulele-driven "Bedroom Bossa Nova" exalts its simple melody and lyrics by letting us gaze at them from a sweeping vista of tropicalia, toy drums, and meticulously breezy production. The glistening harp loops of "Sleepytime Samba" spread out beneath warm beeps and blips with the fragile grandeur of Múm. OK, whistle-led "Pajama Party Pop" could almost be Hot Chip for the seventh-birthday crowd. So cute.

At the same time, Lullatone's latest represents a progression for the duo. Little by little, their project has become more organic as well as more indebted to Tomida's girlish vocals, which feature on each of the new album's eight tracks. Where 2003 debut Computer Recital sought simple beauty in abstract electronics, Plays Pajama Pop Pour Vous finds the abstract in beautifully simple songs. These days Lullatone overload on aesthetic traits frequently viewed as puerile, and they find in them something transcendent. In the world of Seymour and Tomida, cuteness is merely beauty of another kind." Pitchforkmedia
