Today's track is a beautiful, almost haunting, version of Mary Poppins' bedtime lullaby, Stay Awake, recorded by the husband/wife team of THE INNOCENCE MISSION.
the innocence mission have been around since the early 80s, recording alt-rock albums on various different indie record labels. They have released several albums over the years, the most recent being 2010's THE ROOM IN THE TREES.
In 2004, a cover album full of traditional and modern lullaby songs, NOW THE DAY IS OVER
, was released. Included in the tracklist are such movie songs as Over The Rainbow from Wizard of Oz and Edelweiss from The Sound Of Music, and classical tunes such as Chopin's Prelude in A and Beethoven's Sonata No. 8, as well as traditional hymns and jazz standards. It is a marvelous album that begins with Stay Awake and you'll never know how it ends because you will be fast asleep.

It's a nice song, but Julie Andrews is unbeatable. Her version is the best by far! I was so tired when I listened to this song, I almost fell asleep :)
By the way: it's Edelweiss
Thanks for catching my typo! I've fixed it in the post.
the regular version of that song is kinda creepy
