I recently discovered this song one day when I was listening to a Sarah Brightman mix on youtube on my phone. I listened to it once and immediately had the song stuck in my head. I have to say I'm very confused if there is a recording of Sarah singing it or not, or why both she and her sister Amelia sing it. Sort of like when Sophie was singing the same songs as Hayley at one point? LOL The only album I could find with the song is on the Gregorian album, Masters of Chant II, with Amelia singing it. Apparently she co-wrote it, so I guess it's technically her song. Their voices actually sound VERY similar (but I still prefer Sarah's). But anyway, I've had it stuck in my head all day long and doesn't seem to be on its way out anytime soon. LOL I'm kind of obsessed with at the moment. It's very catchy. Here are both ladies' versions (there are also merged videos. Also one of them singing part of it in French.

Very pleasant hypnotic sound similar to a couple of albums by Enigma which I have just realized is over 25 years ago since they were popular

My most recent physical album purchase is the soundtrack to the 1984 TV movie "A Christmas Carol". This version features George C. Scott as "Scrooge". I have loved the movie for many years (as well as the other great movie adaptations). Its composer, Nicholas Bicât, has recently made the soundtrack available to the public, and only 500 copies were produced. Although I purchased my CD on eBay, you can buy it or individual songs on the composer's website here... nickbicat.com/product/a-christmas-carol/

It is nice to have limited edition items in your music collection.
U2 re released a 12 inch vinyl 40th anniversary Limited edition of U2-3 "Out of control" for record store day 29th November 2019, with a gold sticker with black print 80 x 85mm indicating its number in the sequence of a limited edition of 17,000.
Each disc has the sticker on the outside of the shrink wrap (which seems to have been not thought through), the sticker really should have been on the record sleeve or better still the numbering should have been on the disc itself, which means you have to carefully remove the sticker from the shrink wrap and put it on the sleeve yourself.
U2-3 was first released in 1979 with a numbered limited edition on 12 inch vinyl of 1,000. it was also available on 7 inch vinyl for the mass production version

I find myself finding new music by random searches on YouTube on the TV. Yesterday being a day of rest, I put in a search on YouTube for Elina Garanca for the Mozart video then I just let YouTube keep offering up whatever it wanted to put on next.
These two came up after about an hour, most amusing, I had never seen them before. A great way to introduce people to opera pieces, they are great because they have English subtitles which allows you to follow the story even if it is sung in a language you are not familiar with and yes I had noticed Elina is rather attractive.

A seasonal tune played by a newly formed orchestra. Some of the musicians and audience seem strangely familiar. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY !

Having grown seriously bored of waiting for the "no-news-is-no-news" album, I've started to cast my net a little wider in the "Sea of Youtube".
A few days ago I came across "Erutan" (aka, Kate Covington). If you've not heard her before, I suggest she's worth a listen. Just search Youtube for "Erutan".
Also: www.erutanmusic.com/

I had to start casting my net wider a long time ago. Even when I thought the album would be out long before this, I knew it would still be a little while. That said, I only really got into one artist other than Hayley, and that was Sarah Brightman, who's been around for some time. I became a fan back in 2014, though, before all the no-news drama started. LOL

hard at work today watching the likes of this, the wonderful Olivia Newton John and Abba and yer man the BeeGee Andy and a whole hour and twenty minutes of the dynamo herself Olivia Newton John going at it with more energy and stamina than a whole rugby team with an adoring audience eating out of her hand. I wouldn't mind, I only intended to look up one song at lunch time, but it's Ok, my boss is very understanding

Hi All, I love listening to the music of Nick Drake and I've also learned to play some of his songs on my acoustic guitar too. He uses some very interesting guitar tunings! His lyrics are so full of imagery and are influenced by poets such as: William Blake, William Butler Yeats and Henry Vaughan. Nick's work has been cited by artists such as: Kate Bush, Paul Weller and The Black Crowes. I particularly enjoy the debut Album, entitled: "Five Leaves Left" (1969)Here is one of the songs from the "Five Leaves Left" Album, called: "The Thoughts of Mary Jane". Another one of his pieces from the same Album which is sure to grow on you (pardon the pun!) is: "Fruit Tree". I hope you enjoy too! Andrew
