NEVЯLAND has two theme songs--each quite different but both full of anxiety & apprehension, though the first does so in a light-hearted way & the second is as depressing as a song can get. "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" is a bouncy, fun song about a child who awakens one morning to find his Momma and Poppa have gone "far, far away". I shudder everytime I hear this tune. I don't know songwriter Lally Stott's inspiration or intent with such a destressful theme, but the lyrics fit in with NEVЯLAND's hellish scenery. Sally Carr's exhuberence, beauty, and angelic voice (with just a touch of Scottish accent) belie the song's unlying terror that would envelop a Child whose parents suddenly disappear. It's almost as if the Child is happy his folks have vanished! --------------- "The End" is the Dark within NEVЯLAND. |
