There’s something about a thalattu that no playlist can match. The rhythm, the warmth, the voice — it’s not just a lullaby, it’s a hug in song form. In this video, @pravin_shanmughanandam ‘s mom gifts us a moment of deep comfort — singing one of the most soothing thalattus we’ve heard. Thank you aunty, not only for singing it so beautifully, but also for teaching us the lyrics so we don’t lose them. Because these lyrics aren’t random sounds. They tell stories, they paint dreams — of kings, moons, mangoes, and mother’s arms. It’s oral tradition cradling a child to sleep. Today, when many of us reach for our phones to play white noise or Spotify playlists, it’s easy to forget the power of a real, familiar voice. But science knows it too: 🧠 Lullabies regulate baby’s nervous system 💗 Build deep emotional bonds 🌙 Improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety 🫶 Anchor babies in love and rhythm This is why we started “அடையாளம்.” To remember. To preserve. To pass on. Because not all lullabies should be left behind.
