Hi Stephany and Dave, I have a wireless broadband connection but somehow this interview doesn't seem to be loading for me.  The progress bar is just not "playing cricket" (is it supposed to?  ) Oh there we go... we have cricket- err... I mean the interview is finally running!!!  Great Stuff! Woo... how exciting!!!

Hi Everyone,
I got personally thrilled by what Hayley said about "Abide with Me" as I have a very strong connection with it myself.
She said :
"Some people make out that it is quite a sad song but its actually one of Great Hope.
A lot of songs in the album are like that."
Here are the lyrics she chooses: verses 1,2 & 8.
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
Oddly enough , "Bist du bei mir" means "Abide with Me"
Graeme

Another great interview Stephany. I bet you're getting excited about December aren't you Thomas?  Hayley coming to Germany to see her sister - wonder if they'll fly home together? Graeme, Abide With Me is my favourite hymn too. I was thrilled when I knew it was going to be on "Treasure" but nothing could have prepared me for that first time I heard it, it exceeded all my expectations, and then to hear Hayley sing it A Capella - OMG just wonderful. Best wishes Grant |

Thanks Stephany!  The interview is still there at the moment, and I really enjoyed listening to it. It sounds as though Hayley has every intention of buying her own residence here in London, so I hope she finds a place soon.  Best Wishes, Richard |

That will be something for both girls and the exchange family! I take it Sophie is learning German as a second language? I wonder if the exchange student will be in NZ in the January/April period?

I agree with you Graeme about 'Abide With Me' being a hymn of hope I think the reason many regard it as a sad hymn is because it has that bittersweet quality that invites pathos. It is hope arising out of the harshness of reality. 'That in the midst of life we are in death'.
I am not strong on hymns, and 'Onward Christian Soldiers' is not quite the hymn to express my meaning, but it will suffice. That hymn is a positive, triumphant hymn but arguably one dimensional. 'Abide with Me' is multidimensional. It contrasts the micnrocosm with the macrocosm. It evokes the lovely quality of those lines from Blake: 'To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower; Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour'.

Best Wishes, Richard Regretfully for some reason I can't play it--its to do with my system at the moment, it plays but soundlessly and I can't download--I wonder, especially on 'Abide with Me' if someone could do a paraphrase, please? This makes me realise that were I able to play it, I might be able to obtain an acceptable recording on my little Sony dictaphone which Hayley said she wanted from Santa Christmas 2005. I must bear that in mind for future occasions and see if the result is worth posting here or perhaps (if good enough) on the main site, Peter S. |
