I'm in the mood...
Any prog songs about children playgrounds? I mean, some good lylrics reflecting the philosophy of life through the eyes of a child, or some lovely piano passages, something that fits with swings and sandboxes. (The only one I can think of right now is 'Playground' by Jeremy Storch.) |

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

In Talitha Qumi's album there's one track where they recreate in the studio the sound of a children's playground

Ayreon's Day Nine: Playground. No lyrics but captures the mood well.

Ahvak's Hamef Ahakim, with "fun fayre" music.
Also, Étron Fou Leloublan is often playful and childish musically. Well, dadaist would be a better description, but it might just be what you're looking for.

How about this from the Moody Blues' Days of Future Passed...

Poles apart by Pink Floyd. The lyrics have nothing to do, but there's some child-like keyboard solo in the song. Oh, yeah, and many of the Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd (right now I could think about See Emily Play, Matilda Mother, Bike, and I don't remember this ones so well, but perhaps Corporal Cleg, See-Saw, Jugband Blues, Scream thy last Scream, Vegetable Man; some of this songs have child oriented lyrics, some others not).

Damn! beat me to it. Syd songs can be a nightmare in a tea party, through a child's eyes. They feel like childhood visited through dreams, lucid, where things can go wrong sometimes Opel feels like the theme to a child running away. So, perhaps darker than the music the OP wanted, but somewhat related.Great topic!  |

How about "Fairy Tales" by Mother Gong? It is not abot playgrounds, but there are three fairy tales superbly told by Gilli Smyth and accompanied by excellent musicians, led by a Didier Malherbe in überform. Jean put links to the tracks in this thread:

TIMOTHY PURE's "Island Of The Misfit Toys" is a concept album that has children as it's focus,even the playground at one point. The band sort of sounds like The Alan Parsons Project. It's really worth seeking out if it's still available.
