I'm in tears. It's 07:30AM and I had a rough day with my 8 year old daughter yesterday, she lives with her mother elsewhere and due to the lock down iv'e not seen much of her, she now has anxiety issues when she comes to stay with me and can't stay overnight anymore due to this problem. My little girl won't have my lullabies anymore. Thanks Kate and Damien. Personal circumstances aside this was actually a tonic, there's always joy to be found in melancholy. x
I hope you guys are doing well by now. I have to deal with anxiety issues, and there are a few things that I am not able to do anymore, even after a few years of treatment. I felt your pain in these words, and I truly hope you and her are better now. Sometimes, for some of us, melancholy is the way out. Keep strong you two.
One of the most amazing songs ever. If this song doesn’t move you with emotion nothing will. Stay safe, Be kind, love your family and listen to good music. There’s nothing more important in these times x
I love everything Kate sings but this song is my absolute favourite so much so that I have asked for it to be played at my funeral. Stay safe and keep bringing these moments of joy . God bless.
I just heard this tune for the first time on After Life. I must have played along with on my guitar twenty times now - and I'm still not ready for bed! What a beautiful, beautiful song. Gorgeous tune, and emotional lyrics! Thank you, Kate 🙏🙏🙏.
Thanks! I try to be an upbeat cheerleader during hard times for other folks, but sometimes we need to feel our vulnerability. This song comes from a deep and sincere place. All the very best from a fellow songwriter
We played this at my Mum's funeral almost 3 years ago. They were the most appropriate lyrics possible for me and my two brothers - "Who now will sing me lullabies?"
Hey Kate and Damien! I absolutely LOVE your music, and this song the most. When my mother died, her last words to me were 'I wish you had learned to play guitar' - so i did, and this song was one of the first tunes i learned! The version i learned from was from the album '20'... I listened to that song over and over and over, and over... Soo many times that in fact. Keep making amazing music - i love you x
Loved listening to Kate Rusby for a long time. It’s amazing how good her singing voice is without studio processing- saw her live last year, was just the same. This song got right through to me first time I heard it, and will always have a place at the end of a hard day... Thanks, Kate and Damien both for bringing these videos throughout lockdown.
It doesn't matter how many times I listen to this song, it always gets me all choked up. I first saw you in Tunbridge Wells, many moons ago, got you to sign my first two CDs, and you have been such a comforting presence through your gorgeous voice during my troubled years. THANK YOU!!! XXX
I heard this on the credits whilst watching 'After Life' and it immediately caught my attention. Such a beautiful yet haunting song, especially when you realise the sentiments behind the lyrics and why it was penned. Many years ago (some time in the 90's) I saw the Battlefield Band in Bielefeld, Germany. They were on one of the many band stands at the Cities yearly festival. They sang 'How will I ever be simple again' and I decided to buy their CD, still play it all these years later. Liked and subbed :)
Some cracking videos posted with yourselves ,,,,you deserve all your acclamation ,,,,,,my favourite ,,,our town ,,,,thank you for these posts ,,,brightened up my life no end ,,,,ta
My Wife's Father died when she was only 7. At our wedding we had old footage of him and her playing together with this amazing beautiful song playing. It will always have a place in our hearts ❤️❤️ Thank you.
Thanks so much for your weekly performances. A friend in Ireland sent to me a link to one of your videos. I think she knew that I'd lived in nearby Wilmslow, Cheshire as a young man. So, for me, it's like a weekly trip home.
If I was famous, like what you are, and got to go on 'Desert Island Discs', at the end when they ask which record you would take if you were only allowed one... it would be this one.
Lay me down gently, lay me down low I fear I am broken and won't mend I know There's one thing I ask when the stars light the skies Who now will sing me lullabies? Oh, who now will sing me lullabies? In this big world I'm lonely, for I am but small Oh, angels in heaven, don't you care for me at all? You heard my heart breaking for it rang through the skies So why won't you sing me lullabies? Oh, why won't you sing me lullabies? I lay here, I'm weeping for the stars they have come I lay here not sleeping, now the long night has begun The man in the moon, oh, he can't help but cry There's no one to sing me lullabies Oh, there's no one to sing me lullabies So lay me down gently, oh lay me down low I fear I am broken, I won't mend I know There's one thing I ask when the stars light the skies Who now will sing me lullabies? Oh, who now will sing me lullabies?
hi were is the best place to have your words put to music I write a lot of poems and would like one of them put to music would you be able to do this for me
I love you Lisa. Always always.
And thank you for this, Kate. I only wish I had found this sooner.
Beautiful song Beautiful voice

Wow! made a grown man ball his eyes out . My little one came and gave me a big hug.
So young, So beautiful. So talented. I'm jealous. Wish I weren't 88! Love you Kate. March, 2024.
Found this masterpiece on After Life Season 3. This is the best version. What a beautiful song!
How peaceful! Did anyone see that dog chilling? perfect

I adore the fact that one of the most exquisite singers of our time sings in my accent lol Brilliant as always
Blessed are the cheese makers - Amen.
I crazy about these guys. I an thinking of coming to England to see you live. I am from Houston, Tx.
I love this song so much! I cried the first time I heard it. You are so blessed with the voice of an angel.❤
I just heard this tune for the first time on After Life. I must have played along with on my guitar twenty times now - and I'm still not ready for bed! What a beautiful, beautiful song. Gorgeous tune, and emotional lyrics! Thank you, Kate 🙏🙏🙏.
Hey! Can you tell me if you have found a good tab? Can’t wait to learn it!
Thanks! I try to be an upbeat cheerleader during hard times for other folks, but sometimes we need to feel our vulnerability. This song comes from a deep and sincere place. All the very best from a fellow songwriter
Lovely lovely lovely. Kate Rusby sings the lullabies at our house. Thank you.
What a beautiful soul and a beautiful voice to carry it to the World
Never understood the concept of texture and layers in music, but wow the guitar work is beyond!!
We played this at my Mum's funeral almost 3 years ago. They were the most appropriate lyrics possible for me and my two brothers - "Who now will sing me lullabies?"
Gosh - this is lovely and just what the world needs! Thank you for giving this this to the world!
greetings from Venezuela... your beautiful music travel SO FAR AWAY...
A wonderful memorial to the legendary Davy Steele, (1948-2001), taken from us so early.

Thank you Kate. RIP Kathy, the dearest singer of lullabies.
You make the world a better place.
Thank you. 🙏🏻
This is the song I sang my daughter when she was born. It's been my favorite for years. One day I'll see you live!
I've only recently discovered you and this song after hearing it on after life, but its my new favorite! Such a beautiful song and voice. Thank you x.
I've just lost my beautiful grandma, and this song says everything I'm feeling at the moment, stay safe everyone. Thank you Kate.

Thank you, beautiful.
Спасибо, Kate! With love from Belarus!
I wish I had had my Ipod with me during my recent stay in hospital I missed Kate Rusby most of all
I heard you today on Radio 2, great song.
Lay me down gently, lay me down low
I fear I am broken and won't mend I know
There's one thing I ask when the stars light the skies
Who now will sing me lullabies?
Oh, who now will sing me lullabies?
In this big world I'm lonely, for I am but small
Oh, angels in heaven, don't you care for me at all?
You heard my heart breaking for it rang through the skies
So why won't you sing me lullabies?
Oh, why won't you sing me lullabies?
I lay here, I'm weeping for the stars they have come
I lay here not sleeping, now the long night has begun
The man in the moon, oh, he can't help but cry
There's no one to sing me lullabies
Oh, there's no one to sing me lullabies
So lay me down gently, oh lay me down low
I fear I am broken, I won't mend I know
There's one thing I ask when the stars light the skies
Who now will sing me lullabies?
Oh, who now will sing me lullabies?
Lovely x
