Editorial Reviews

Justine Toms, The Journal of New Dimensions Radio, Volume 23, Number 1

--" If your heart is troubled--if the news is getting you down--if you feel compelled to pull the covers up over your head, go ahead and do it, but not before you put this album on and set it to 'continuous play'. These are lullabies, soothing refrains that will work on the deep soul level. Noll's voice rings like a bell--bright, clear and unwavering. She's chosen some of the most healing and beautiful songs that I have come across. The arrangements are simple, and the mood is one of comfort and loving presence. Noll includes songs such as "How could anyone ever tell you you were anything less than beautiful", "It's a Joy To Get To Know You", "All through the night" and Cris Williamson's lullaby, 'Like a ship in the harbor, like a mother and child...' This album is truly a blessing."

Product Description

Songs For The Inner Child is a collection of chants and lullabies, both traditional and contemporary, sung with the gentle voice of a loving mother. The songs are healing and soothing for listeners of all ages, carrying powerful messages of affirmation and comfort. Over 200,000 copies have been sold worldwide.

With Shaina Noll on lead and harmony vocals, New Age keyboard artist Jim Oliver produced and contributed instrumentally to many of the tracks. Rusty Crutcher, best known for his "Sacred Sites" series of albums, plays saxophone on "Deep Peace". Shaina's husband, Richard, contributes harmony vocals and recorder tracks.

Songwriters Cris Williamson, Libby Roderick, Susan McCullen and Bill Douglas are among those whose songs are featured on the album along with Shaina's composition, "Peace Be With You".

Lyrics include:

"How could anyone ever tell you you were anything less than beautiful...how could anyone ever tell you you were less than whole...how could anyone fail to notice that your loving is a miracle...how deeply you're connected to my soul..."

"You can relax now...you are the child of God, and that will never change"

"Peace be with you, oh my dear one...peace be with you, precious child...angels hover all about you, they protect you, night and day...angels over all about you, they will guide you on your way..."

"Deep peace of the running wave to you, deep peace of the flowing air to you, deep peace of the gentle night to you, moon and stars pour their healing light on you..."

5.0 out of 5 stars touches beyond the soul!!!, December 12, 2001

By	Vicki Gilliland (Ocala, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

This is the MOST awesome CD ......to say that it "touches" the soul would not give it enough credit. the initial reason for purchasing this cd was the song "how could anyone," I have heard this song done by other artists.....but none of their versions can compare to the peace and beauty that shaina does it with. As if that in itself werent enough....90% (if not more) of the other songs on this cd.....are of the same quality......and give a deep sense of peace.....everyone i have shared it with....has requested a copy....I have a copy that I listen to when I go to sleep at night......because it is an affirmation..to my inner child ......and.....to my soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for recovering from childhood abuse., June 21, 2001

By A Customer

I found this CD, or rather, it found me, when I was doing work to recover from childhood physical and sexual abuse. Shaina sings the kinds of songs I never heard as a child. Hearing them now has made a tremendous difference in my life. The words and music truly touched my soul, and allowed me to feel calm and loved and at peace. I would recommend this to anyone who was not nutured as a child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting!, April 21, 2000

By	Sandra J Halford (Gardnerville, Nevada) - See all my reviews

I actually had never heard of Shaina Noll. I was cooling down in an exercise class when they played the first song on this CD "How could anyone ever tell you you were anything less than beautiful....." these are song of encouragement and love and an uplifting kind of positive message that is so lacking in the world today. If you ever have felt like you don't matter, listen to these songs! Every one of them is fantastic and you will walk away feeling so good about yourself and you will want to pass on that good feeling to eveyone around you! Thank you Shaina for something so positive to listen to. What a nice thing you did for your children singing them songs like this!
