About this sleeping song
Bayou Blues measures 6% softer, 15% warmer and 82% steadier than the rest of the songbook, which gives it 1 of 5 moons for sleepiness. It's not in the nightly rotation (that's the 140 sleepiest songs), but it's here in full.
Its sigil is drawn from its own sound: the curve is its loudness from start to finish, the 4 petals come from its tempo, the inner moon from its brightness, and the star marks its loudest moment.

Why so strict about streaming?

Purrple Cat Self Releases have no Content ID, so there's nothing to clear when you use them as intended.
