Swaddling Songs is the only studio album by Irish progressive folk rock band Mellow Candle, originally released in 1972 by Deram Records. Commercially unsuccessful at the time of release, Swaddling Songs has since received critical acclaim and original vinyl copies are highly collectable. It has been re-released multiple times on various labels since 1989, including a 50th anniversary release by Deram in 2023. In 2022 the album's 50th anniversary was marked by the RTE radio documentary Swaddling Songs at 50. Swaddling Songs is notable for its multi-layered vocal harmonies and complex arrangements. It has become regarded a classic of the progressive folk genre. A collection of demos and sessions for the album recorded 1969–1971 was released in 1996 as The Virgin Prophet.
