Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel) – Billy Joel
Billy Joel and model and actress Christie Brinkley had a child in the 1980s. Their daughter Alexa once asked Joel where people go after they pass away, which inspired him to write the song “Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel).” He penned the song while trying to find the right words to console her, and Brinkley created the album’s cover.

To Lay Me Down – Jerry Garcia
Although ‘To Lay Me Down’ was one of Jerry Garcia’s earliest solo releases, the song’s lyrics were really written by Robert Hunter of the Grateful Dead. Hunter composed the song in London while hanging out with the band and chowing down on a full bottle of wine. He also wrote additional songs that day, such as “Ripple” and “Brokedown Palace,” in addition to “To Lay Me Down,” which is about wanting to see a lover one last time.
