 Her name to me’s a mystery!
Who can solve my inquiry?Maybe she is Sayley, as her voice in heaven’s sailing, Or her name is Fayley, whose note no angel’s failing? Could quite well be Gayley, who smiles her goodness gaily, or why not simply Payley, whose tunes see low songs paling. Might people call her Wayley? Nooo, never is she wailing! But possibly it’s Ayley, she sends her critics ailing. Ah, she could be Dayley, who many hearts fills daily, no, it surely must be Zayley, the sweetest Zealand-lady! Let her name be what it is, and though it still remains amiss, like a Halley may she fly, through firmaments and skies up high. --- With a Hay and a Ley, and a Hayleylujah: Greetings to all from happy! |

Hello 'Happy', and welcome to our Hayley forum!  I can't solve the mystery, but I did enjoy reading your poem. We do have a few poets here, so I'm sure you will enjoy your time with us. Please tell us how you first discovered Hayley and her music. Best wishes from London, Richard  |

Dear Richard, Consider me a short drop-in, now dropping out (although one is breathing good air in this group). This is written with love for all who read it. Hayley is a rare and special singer for sure. Pulse of timeGreat popularity is but a sign, that artist, you beat with the pulse of time. Lack of acclaim and fame says that your beat, oh artist, our time’s standard does not meet. Should your pulse not miss, but exceed that norm, great artist, new life through you will be born.  |

MUSICAL OUTING IN BUXTON
I saw a young lov'ly songbird,
Seemed far but near,
Unknown but dear,
A nightingale sister I heard.
Her voice delighted the ev'ning,
Grace with beauty,
Pure and easy,
Amazing how nightingales sing!
The tunes came from a charming soul,
Sweet & refined,
Noble & kind,
Her voice could play an angel role.
God bless you little nightingale,
Your life, your sight,
Your voice your flight,
Go sing and stay on Heaven's way!

Well done Happy, I like that. I was at that magical concert too, and you sum it up beautifully.

Hi Martin, greetings! You and your friends are doing a wonderful thing promoting Hayley. Not only because she deserves being noted, having such an outstanding voice. But I think that if in every household her voice would be heard, our earth would become a more loving and peaceful place. She seems to touch the noble and kind part in our soul, as few other singers do. And yes, Buxton was magical... heavenly!

Hi Happy,
I've taken the liberty of tweeting the link to your poem to Hayley. I'm sure she will enjoy it.

Martin, thank you, that is special! Here's a fun quote by Leopold Stokowski, one which Hayley-fans will enjoy, I think: "Music washes away from the soul
the dust of everyday life." Sometime back I read an article which you, your friends, and also Hayley, might find inspiring, about how it affects our life and our planet: "What Music Means; Not Just Another Pretty Voice," by Karl Paulnack. Here's a quote from it (he's talking to new musicians entering conservatory): "You’re here to become a sort of therapist for the human soul,
a spiritual version of a chiropractor, physical therapist,
someone who works with our insides to see if they get things to line up,
to see if we can come into harmony with ourselves
and be healthy and happy and well." For those interested, here is the whole article: amandamichellewhite.wordpress.com/2009/02/21/speech-by-karl-paulnack-of-boston-conservatoryHappy listening, then, to "Doctor Hayley"!  |

Dear fellow music lovers, my plan was to come to London tomorrow, had the plane and concert tickets secured for a long time... but getting stuck is not an option. So: Happy-Loving-Musical-Christmas to those few who read this, and please enjoy the little poem. Hayley is the inspiration behind it.[glow=red,2,300]MUSIC & LOVE[/glow]
Great bard, you penned it long ago,
How music maps the human soul:
“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.”
But the man who does have music in himself,
And does get moved by harmonies of sound,
He’s fit for love, his heart is charitable soil.
Your pen, great bard, in artful fashion,
Then reveals a heartfelt passion,
How love e’er thrives on music and on song:
“If music be the food of love, play on!”
Yes, love does feed on melody,
Gets nourished by its harmony,
Love through music gets intense,
Sound helps love to grow immense.
But the inverse as well’s not wrong:
“If love be the food of music, then love on!”
Music finds in love its food,
Absorbs from love its haunting mood.
“Love & Music”, that magic pair,
Thrive on each other’s boundless flair,
Oh sweet music, let love come,
Oh dear love, please trigger song!
You in our soul end treason, stratagems, and strife,
and in our heart you grant us life. [/size] happy[/color] [/center]

 I quite understand your need for a white background, The red and green look awful on the turquoise background I have read this one a couple of times, I like it.. In Quo Vadis, did Petronius not commit suicide because of the awful music and poetry of Nero ?

............................................................... Proposed Nobel Price
for Hayley & Andrea
Global warming's much talked about,
As nature grieves with storm and drought,
Yet global HEART-warming alone
Can solve that sickness we bemoan.
Yes, global warming's melting ice,
In nature's pain disaster lies,
Yet WARMTH of heart in all mankind...
It's there where man its balm will find.
For global warming's only cause
Is human coldness and its flaws –
Where LOVE reigns no such things occur,
As love and goodness health confer.
All our world troubles, they will heal,
Once planet earth much HEART will feel,
All fighting, tension, all things wrong,
Cannot arise when love is strong.
Those who contribute their small part,
And bring our world a bit more HEART,
They should receive a Nobel Prize,
As in their warmth all healing lies.
Singers, priests, humanists, lovers,
Caring friends, protectors, mothers,
All you can save our shaken earth:
If you but knew your priceless worth. ............................................................... |

:wink: Another good one Happy I can only ever find this thread just after you post in it. How could you not have risked being caught in the snow to get to a Hayley concert ? Many of the members here have traveled half way round the world for a Hayley concert and slept in cars, tents,railway stations and airports in the process. I think there is even a picture of one of the HWI members in a suitcase..
