The Bedtime Fairies' Take on "Just Around The Riverbend" from Disney's Pocahontas
Firstly, we chose "Just Around The Riverbend" for its adventurous spirit and meaningful message about the importance of choice and self-discovery. Just like our other lullabies, we've adjusted the tempo to create a tranquil atmosphere, ideal for bedtime.
Consistency is crucial for us. Hence, we've maintained the piano tuning at 528Hz, known as 'The Miracle Tone.'

In summary, our version transcends being just a lullaby; it's a meticulously crafted musical experience designed to foster relaxation and well-being.
