Songs that you would like Hayley to sing sometime

Hoe about Don McLean's song "Vincent". I could really imagine Hayley making a beautiful job of that, with a simple guitar backing.

Surely Babylon from the same album would be more suitable and more appropriate for Hayley. This is a song I was going to suggest for Hayley on several occasions but just never got around to it, It is more spiritual and in keeping with other hymns Hayley has already sung.

Hi Comet,

Yes, when I think about it that is perhaps more in the Hayley mould. I think both are songs she could sing beautifully. Just don't suggest American Pie.

This probably sounds a bit Heh heh but I would love to here Hayley singing TAMMY from the movie of the same name which is a really old movie, and also Tammy's in love, just loved the movie and the songs and she has such a wonderful voice I think she would sing it perfectly.

Hi Sandy, I would like that too. Welcome to the forum.

One song that I like and is in quite a similar vein to "Summerfly" is 'Down the Road' by Steve Earle. It's a country / folky sort of song and it talks of the lonliness and difficulty of finding love while on the road (well, that's what I think it's about).

Down The Road

On the blue side of evenin'
When the darkness takes control
You start lookin' for a reason
To take your lonesome on down the road
'Cause the night is filled with strangers
All you need is one you know
And if she ain't the one you're after
Keep on lookin' on down the road

Though the miles lay long behind you
You have still got miles to go
How's love ever gonna find you
If it ain't here it's down the road

Keep on lookin' on down the road

I think it's a beautiful song and it'd sound very nice sung by Hayley. Type it into Youtube if you want to have a listen.

I also quite like 'Wildwood Flower' by the Carter Family (you'd remember it from 'Walk The Line')

Wildwood Flower

Oh I'll twine with my mingles and raven black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the mirtles so bright with the emerald dew
The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue

I will dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart in each crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming my idols were clay
All portion of love had all blown away

Oh he taught me to love him and promised to love
And to cherish me over all others above
How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell
He's left me no warning no words of farewell

Oh he taught me to love him and call me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour
How i long to see him and regret the dark hour
He's gone and neglected his pale wildwood flower

Yep she would do it perfectly.
Thanks for the welcome.

I've just thought of another great song for Hayley: Widmung (Dedication) by Robert Schumann.

www.last.fm/music/Elly+Ameling/_/Widmung%252C%2BOp.%2B25%252F1%253A%2BDu%2BMeine%2BSeele%252C%2BDu%2BMein%2BHerz

I would love to hear Hayley sing this in her pure, Classical voice. Hayley sings Classical arias without the excessive vibrato that opera singers put in it. To me, it makes the song sound much more personal. She could sing it in the original German or do a English version - I'm sure either would be very beautiful.

I suggest Whisper of Angels would be perfect for Hayley.I recently went to a variety show and heard it sung by Celia Graham however, my mind seemed to automatically convert it to Hayley's voice.A version of it can be found on You Tube by Amici Forever.

Hello Stephen and everybody!

'Whisper of Angels' is a vocal arrangement of Fauré's Pavane, adapted by Canadian songwriter Amy Sky.

Hi Richard,
I thought it was an adaptation of an old tune.Do you concur that it would be perfect for Hayley?.

Stephen.

[Richard]

Most definitely!

[stephen]

Thanks Richard,
Obviously a man of great taste!!!

I think Hayley should sing Cinema Paradiso. It is one of my favourite songs.

I read that she is expected to sing it in Japan later this year, so maybe I'm cheating! I really hope she does sing it, though.

I don't know why, but I've got "send in the clowns" stuck in my head as a song I'd like Hayley to do.
