Quite a ruckus most nights getting ALL to bed. There are the usual night-time chores — putting on pajamas, brushing teeth, getting water bottles filled with ice and water, arranging stuffed animals and blankets — it can sometimes take quite a while. But when we’re done, and the lights go off, relaxation falls over everyone …

Lyrics Post: “Satisfied”
So SO many songs in Hamilton, 46 in all, I think it is. And so which ones to highlight in this lead-up to the TV debut of the staged musical from 2016 and the original cast... This song comes to mind as one of my favorites, but also reflective of one of the fundamental themes …
