This song gives off such a comforting vibe. Like watching an ancient movie as a child with not a care in the world.

I agree
@Translucent__Goodies
Yes, I agree. Like watching an old Disney classic. I always think of Lady and the Tramp, or Peter Pan.

I miss my mom when I hear this. She was a great singer, formally trained in the 1940s. This was one of her favorites to sing. I'm learning it on guitar right now so I can perform it at her funeral services this weekend. She was so awesome and from a great generation and great culture.

For those wondering, the instrument behind that dreamy, magical bell like sound is actually not a toy xylophone or music box. It's a celeste, which is played like a piano but the felt hammers hit metal bars over wooden resonators instead, giving it a softer and more delicate sound than a bell xylophone or something like that. If you ask me it's got to be one of the most beautiful sounding instruments ever. Many major record and film studios had them in the early to mid 20th century, including Disney, which is part of why this may remind you of old movies. You probably recognize it most though from Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fairy

@anderpander7948 If you have a big enough wallet, I think the last one I saw used was around $25,000. Very few are made anymore and they are a specialty item. Especially since synthesizers and keyboards can imitate the sound somewhat. If you ask me, there's just nothing that sounds like the real thing though. I've only seen one or two of them in old school recording studios, that would have been around in the 40's and 50's.
