Coil "All the pretty little horses"

[@fireemblem2770]

Even though there is not as much output by them I have listened to as i would like, I can still conclude that Coil is a once-in-a-lifetime band. So genius.

[@djdatapimp]

I mean, theyre both dead. Cant have much output thereafter. A huge back catalog to learn from and enjoy

Thank you Jhonn and Peter. You've left behind a prophecy unparalleled.

[@srambrero]

this song is proof of its not what you sing about its how you sing it

[@wychwoodmusic]

Just when you thought this lullaby couldn't get creepier, Rise Up Singing notes that John and Alan Lomax collected this folksong and says about this song, "The 'lambie' which this slave sings about (as she rocks her master's child to sleep) is her own child - who has no one to sing her to sleep." Also, the original lyric is "The birds and butterflies *pecking out* his eyes."

Jesus...

[@MixedScales]

My Mom used to sing this to us when we were little. No wonder I felt deja vu when I first heard this song.

[@whsonic]

beautiful version. one of the three best versions of this song, together with Current 93 & Nick Cave and Calexico.

[@juanpabloarena2724]

A very Coil version... Great ✨

Lyrics: Hush-a-bye, don't you cry Go to sleepy, little baby Go to sleepy, little baby When you wake, you shall have All the pretty little horses All the pretty little horses Blacks and bays, and dapples and greys All the pretty little horses Way down yonder in the meadow Lies a poor little lamby Bees and b***erflies flit around his eyes Poor little thing is crying "mammy" (Poor little thing is crying "mammy") (Poor little thing is crying "mammy") Go to sleep, don't you cry Rest your head upon the clover Rest your head upon the clover In your dreams, you shall ride While your mummy watches over Blacks and bays, and dapples and greys All the pretty little horses All the pretty little horses Go to sleep, don't you cry Rest your head upon the clover Rest your head upon the clover In your dreams, you shall ride While your mummy watches over In your dreams, you shall ride While your mummy watches over Blacks and bays, and dapples and greys All the pretty little horses All the pretty little horses All the pretty little horses

So glad I found this.

[@steveelegant803]

I believe he meant that this track in general is far older. The song itself is a very old song. Many people have played it over the years. This was an old prairie lullaby, it may be far older than that.

[@blackwingvalleylover]

Might be a slave song from the South think. The original lyrics has a little child lost and the flies "plucking out its eyes" quite alot more sad and violent. Quite glad Nick or current 93 guys re wrote it actually!

[@MrFirefox]

The tune at the start really caught my attention I get OSRS vibes idk why

[@ManMan-lc8ng]

I will put to sleep my kids to this track

[@MrToolUndertow]

Gogy Gogyn It's a civil war song. If you can not close your eyes about cruel and crazy things around you, an utopic “lullaby“ like this will replace all unchangeable facts. The question “Why we have war?“ is no real question anymore that you have to answer. Because the “little horses“ that will come to you if you just sleep are much more important than all things that one human can not explain or change. The horses are just there, we don't have to explain any real facts about the horses; they are just there even in times of war, fear and anger.

[@hellinterface6721]

You're projecting.

[@subtledemisefox]

my youngest daughter is terrified of Brahms' Lullaby, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and anything similar. I'd hate to see how she'd react to THIS lol

[@daveroxit]

I didn't realize until now how much the melody resembles Pink Floyd's "Julia Dream."

[@blackseven4561]

Like 20 seconds in I was like "Wait a minute..." ;)

Huh didn't know Coil did a lullaby, and an american one at that. Still really nice and soothing, I can go to bed listening to this :)

[@stigler30]

@angstfortea That's Current 93 with Nick Cave on vocals. The Current 93 version with David Tibet on vocals is the best.

journ neyin There are many good versions out there and I don’t need to pick which is best, I just get to enjoy them all. But I will say that Odetta has the most soulful out of any I know. Good call.

[@cassio.ludewigs]

C93's version with David on vocals is for me by far the best (heard also Calexico's and Odetta's)

And Nick Cave version?

[@Ytrearneindre]

"Julia Dream" by Pink Floyd was released i 1968 and this track in 2004, so no, this is quite the contrary of much older.

[@spacefertilizer]

it's a traditional american lullaby. it was eventually covered by current93 and that is probably the inspiration since they were close friends and collaborated.
