Goodnight, Groddle

I think that when the game goes away, all of our little world is asleep and waits for us till we come back again.

So I wrote this lullaby.  It's based on a song from my alma mater called "The Goodnight Song."
I hope it makes some of you happy too.  I like thinking that Ur is gently dreaming.

=================
Lay your picks and scrapers down,
Catch the fading evenlight,
Butterflies rest in the fruit trees
as we sing to Ur, "good night."

Fireflies glimmer, glimmer 'round all
Shimla Mirch and back to you
Bearing sparks from all the Glitchen
Cosma, Tii and Friendly too.

To be woven in our dreaming
Good night Groddle, good night.

• Thank you Lelu, Hburger, Danny, and Tiny Speck for recognizing the true talent in this song.  I love my GNG musicbox.  Almost as much as I love Glitch!

• Other people were wiping tears away after seeing or hearing the song. I'm wiping tears away just reading this thread!

• I look forward to earning my GNG Musicblock from my pickle someday. Until then, I enjoy it immensely anytime someone plays it for me.
  
  It is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. It reminds me of my niece & nephew. ♥

• I first heard this beautiful lullaby at the final test closure - though at the time, I didn't realize it was the final one.  ;)  The song struck me, and I loved it immediately.
  
  Cut to today, when I decided to randomly play with Señor Funpickle again.  Imagine my surprise when a pickle-induced sneezing fit granted me a Musicblock!  I love collecting them, so I couldn't wait to hear it.
  
  Then I did, and almost cried.  TToTT  I just had to do some research on it on Glitch Strategy, which led me to this thread.  Lelu, you have a fantastic voice and I now feel honored to have walked by you recently in Lethensome Lift Quarters.  =)  I'll be playing this as often as I can!

• Thanks for pushing this up again, Lord Bacon-o - otherwise I would have never found out what the history behind the GNG is. Now I really want to listen to one. *sniffles*
