My DD goes to sleep with music on, has done since birth, music stops about an hour after she's fallen asleep.. Currently on her play list is 80s Power Ballads.. One of which is my favourite, The Power of Love by Jennifer Rush (not Celine Dion version!!)
What's your favourite?

I must admit that I do listen to this in the car from time to time and I do full on Celine vocals 😁

2 out of 3 ain't bad is somewhat sad at the moment.

DS6 loves power ballads. Total Eclipse is definitely his favourite, but the next best is Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. Totally a power ballad.
