Need help finding modern lullaby-type songs please?

I'm going to a baby shower this month and I want to make a lullaby CD to stick in the gift basket for baby and Mom to enjoy. I'm looking for modern lullaby songs or even just songs that are really mellow and soothing even if they're not thought to be "lullabies". So far I have: "Hushabye Mountain" -- Stacey Kent "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" -- Israel Kamakawiwo'ole "Wild Horses" -- The Sundays "Moon River" -- The Innocence Mission "Dream" -- Priscilla Ahn "Rainbow Connection" -- Jane Monheit "Come Away With Me" -- Norah Jones But I need more... Nothing with kids singing. And again, MODERN. :) Just mellow lullaby-like songs. A lot of the typical lullaby songs would drive me NUTS having to listen to them every night so I want these to be something Mommy will enjoy too!
--------------------
In My Arms by Plumb is very beautiful. If you like Norah Jones I would also recommend Shoot the moon. The song Fade Into You by Mazzy Star is pretty too and a personal favorite of mine. I know it's not modern but Claire De Lune By Debussy is nice too. The instrumental version of My Imortal by Evanessence is pretty too. Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy is a favorite of mine as well. I don't know but other songs that come to mind are Jewel, Folish Games or You Were Made For me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWvEXChfl… Mazzy Star http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsWsasqIo… Fine Frenzy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsWsasqIo… To Love You More Celine Dion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh1ajZ9_j… Beautiful Mess by Diamond Trio. It is a love song, you just have to listen to the lyrics. If I think of anymore, I will add them. Lol, not sure if these are what you are looking for but they were the first songs that came to mind!! :) EDIT: Alright so this is so far from anything modern but, I just thought of Patsy Cline. She is my absolute favorite, but I am biased because this song holds a special spot in my heart, it reminds me of my late grandfather and our times together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmLS_jkxP…
