So viel meine Kindheit mir nicht gut getan hat - meine Eltern haben mir, als ich klein war, "will [mich] der Feind verschlingen, so lass die Engel singen: dies Kind soll unverletzet sein" und es war das Tröstlichste ever

#Please ignore this if you want to #I'm tired and tipsy and high off of getting independent #And there's a lot of bad blood between me and them #But not over this part. Never over this part #Err I'm talking about a song they used to sing for me and my brother when we were very very small which has a beautifully comforting melody #And that particular passage is asking god that if the evil of the world is out to get you #he will let his angels sing: let this child be unharmed.#And like #My upbringing messed me up in several hundreds of ways because my parents were really bad at it - not evil #'Just' messed up themselves and unaware of it #But this was not one of those ways.#I cannot express how loved and comforted and safe I felt hearing my parents sing:#then let the angels sing (and that' what the melody made it sound like: angels singing)#Dies Kind soll unverletzet sein #The song was called Nun ruhen alle Wälder. In case you want to hear it and read this far (bc I would be mad if I had read this far ...#Without getting the song)
