A song from a singer I like very much, Enya. Only Time Who can say where the road goes where the day flows - only time And who can say if your love grows as your heart chose - only time Who can say why your heart sighs as your love flies - only time And who can say why your heart cries when your love lies - only time Who can say when the roads meet that love might be in your heart And who can say when the day sleeps if the night keeps all your heart Night keeps all your heart Who can say if your love grows as your heart chose - only time And who can say where the road goes where the day flows - only time Who knows - only time Who knows - only time

Love listening to that song, Frances. I can hear it in my head just reading the lyrics.

One that will ALWAYS make me cry: It was a hit in 1953, but even now, 55 years later, it doesn't have to take back a single word. Frankie Laine - I believe I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way I believe, I believe I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why I believe Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why I believe (why I believe) A beautiful version can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK48gYtqNTA, no moving images, just a pic of the singer and the song.

Thanks Sylviane, I went and took a listen.

This song always makes me smile and makes everything feel alright in the world even if it is only for a few minutes.

It is very catchy, Midnight!

I love that song Midnight! Always reminds me of STEPMOM. Great flick!

I still start to grin from ear to ear if I hear "You don't own me" at the end of "First Wives club" Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton. The movie and that song in particular helped me through a lot of dark days during my depression a few years ago. Even now it still gives me an energy boost. At the time they were 51, 51 and 50 years old. I want to look THAT good 10 years from now, when I'm 50. :twisted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlIXubqrpr0 You don't own me You don't own me, I'm not just one of your little toys You don't own me, Don't say I can't go with other boys And don't tell me what to do And don't tell me what to say And when I go out with you Don't put me on display You don't own me, Don't try to change me in anyway You don't own me, Don't tie me down, cos I'll never stay I don't tell you what to say I don't tell you what to do So just let me be myself That's all I ask of you I'm young, (I'm young) and I love to be young I'm free, (so free) and I love to be free To live my life the way that I want To say and do whatever I please You Don't Own Me

This is one of my favorite songs by The Beatles. The Beatles (Lennon/McCartney) When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. And when the broken hearted people Living in the world agree, There will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is Still a chance that they will see There will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Yeah There will be an answer, let it be. And when the night is cloudy, There is still a light that shines on me, Shine on until tomorrow, let it be. I wake up to the sound of music Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be. There will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be, Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Good choice, Blue eyes. "Let it be" is another song with special meaning to me. Thanks for the reminder. :wink:

I LOVE THAT SONG SYL!!!!! And yes, that movie is what made it for me. It's a great movie, wonderful casting!

Today, I'm haunted by an Italian song, "Gli Ostacoli del Cuore" (meaning "The Obstacles of the Heart"). C'è un principio di magia Fra gli ostacoli del cuore Che si attacca volentieri Fra una sera che non muore E una notte da scartare Come un pacco di natale C'è un principio d'ironia Nel tenere coccolati I pensieri più segreti E trovarli già svelati E a parlare ero io Sono io che li ho prestati Quante cose che non sai di me Quante cose che non puoi sapere Quante cose da portare nel viaggio insieme C'è un principio di allegria Fra gli ostacoli del cuore Che mi voglio meritare Anche mentre guardo il mare Mentre lascio naufragare Un ridicolo pensiero Quante cose che non sai di me Quante cose che non puoi sapere Quante cose da portare nel viaggio insieme Quante cose che non sai di me Quante cose devi meritare Quante cose da buttare nel viaggio insieme C'è un principio di energia Che mi spinge a dondolare Fra il mio dire ed il mio fare E sentire fa rumore Fa rumore camminare Fra gli ostacoli del cuore Quante cose che non sai di me Quante cose che non puoi sapere Quante cose da portare nel viaggio insieme Quante cose che non sai di me Quante cose che non vuoi sapere Quante cose da buttare nel viaggio insieme. *** There's some magic among the obstacles of the heart which begins easily between an evening which does not die and a night to unwrap like a Christmas present There's some irony in tenderly cuddling my most secret thoughts and to find them already revealed And it was I who spoke It was I who loaned them. How many things you don't know about me How many things you can't know How many things to take on a journey together There's some joy among the obstacles of the heart which I want to deserve even while I watch the sea while I let a ridiculous thought wreck How many things you don't know about me How many things you can't know How many things to take on a journey together How many things you don't know about me How many things you must earn How many things to throw away on a voyage together! There's some energy That pushes me to rock between my saying and my doing And to hear it make noise Make noise walking among the obstacles of the heart How many things you don't know about me How many things you can't know How many things to take on a journey together How many things you don't know about me How many things you don't want to know How many things to throw away on a journey together

That's a very beautiful song, Frances - I'd like to hear it sung! I am re-visiting Billy Bragg's Dylanesque protest songs of the 'eighties. This one was written by Leon Rosselson - more of whom later - and it always stirred my protester's heart at the time. It's based on real events. The World Turned Upside Down "In 1649 to Saint George's Hill A ragged band they called 'The Diggers' Came to show the people's will. They defied the landlords They defied the laws, They were the dispossessed reclaiming what was theirs. 'We come in peace' they said 'to dig and sow. We come to work the land in common And to make the wastelands grow. This earth divided, We will make whole So it will be a common treasury for all. The sin of property we do disdain. No man has any right to buy and sell The earth for private gain. By theft and murder, They took the land. Now everywhere the walls spring up at their command. They make the laws to chain us well. The clergy dazzle us with Heaven, Or they damn us into Hell. We will not worship The God they serve, The God of Greed who feeds the rich while poor men starve. We work, we eat together, we need no swords. We will not bow to the masters Or pay rent to the lords. We are free men, Though we are poor. You Diggers all stand up for freedom, stand up now!.' From the men of property the orders came. They sent their hired men and troopers To wipe out the Digger's claim. Tear down their cottages, Destroy their corn. They were dispersed but still the vision lingers on. You poor take courage, you rich take care. This earth was made a common treasury For everyone to share. All things in common, All people one. 'We come in peace.' The orders came to cut them down.

Both of those are great songs I've never heard of before this. The Italian song seems a true description of loving another person. We can never quite get all we want. Stevie - what was the incident that spurred that song?
