Hi all!! I just got home and also found my copy of Prayer in the mailbox.... I turned on the computer, hoping to be able to come on to announce that my copy has arrived, only to find out that Joyce beat me to it! BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do have something to share that has NOT been posted yet! As you know, some songs on the cd were also on Hayley's previous albums. But to my surprise the booklet says that Prayer, May It Be, Wiegenlied, Bridal Ballad and You Are Water are copyrighted 2007. Did they make a mistake?? The answer is NO!!! THESE ARE NEW RECORDINGS! Most noticeable is the new version of May It Be. This one has the big orchestral ending that is included on the Live in New Zealand DVD but which was left out on Odyssey. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifIsn't that just great?? Haven't listened to the rest of the cd yet, though, but I will tomorrow! Peace, Jeroen

Hi Jeroen, yes it is and thanks for posting that! Are you sure it's a new recording of May it Be? Could it be the exact original DVD recording? I will be very interested to find out what the differences are in the other "new" tracks that you mentioned Cheers, Dave

Hello again, You can listen to samples of the album on Itunes Japan. Very interesting - it does indeed sound like a new recording for some of the songs. Not sure at 100% though (a 30 seconds audio clip is too short to tell). Stephany

Huh, new recordings? I didn't mention it, but now i'm trying to find out the differences............. May it be...Odyssey version(running time 3.38) May it be on Prayer is 4.24(running time) including Lord of the rings tunes at the end!!! It looks like it sounds different!!! !! I'm now playing both songs with 2 cd players,with fade in and fade out system............. I"m completely surprised!!!! Joyce.

Not so long ago, I decided to give this particular album a miss but everyone's enthusiasm has persuaded me to do the sensible thing... but I ordered it anyway! Roger

Hi everyone I also thought that some of the songs were new recordings. May-it-Be certainly has the big orchestral ending, which is distinctly different to the version on the "Live From NZ "dvd. So far, I have really enjoyed listening to songs that I have never heard before. Tonight from WSS is lovely inparticular. I'm off to listen again Mark

Hello Mark and everyone, Is the track 'The Last Rose of Summer' a new recording as well or is it the duet with Méav that we all know already? I particularly look forward to hearing 'I'm Kissing You' which is the only brand new song of this album (if I may say so!). Stephany

(jumps up and down and runs around house screaming!) Not that I'm excited or anything- but could you post some scans of the booklet? Again, I'm not excited ( )
