30 Day Song Challenge Day 10 – A song that makes you fall asleep
I used to fall asleep to music ALL THE TIME. Seriously, music was my tranquilizer. Every single night and often while napping before dinner, too. All through HS and college and the first few years after that. So these are just about all frozen in time, songs from then. I don't do it much anymore because R isn't down with that, alas.
