Heyyy that's Alison Moyet,i think that was her name? Imposing lady,i liked her-and Annie Lennox is just remarkable-but one of The best female voices on the planet-has to be Siobhan Fahey of Shakespeare's Sister..you know,i honestly and truly think this specific song and this specific video saved my life,and certainly my health,on more than one occasion,when i was close to going overboard with the lifestyle i had-but enough said

And this.

This is the song that was playing when my mother and i received the news of my father's passing on,earlier that day.I was with the rest of my school at an inter-high athletics meet that day,and although it was an ok day,and my friend tried to cheer me up-i just had this really horrible feeling all day-that something was terribly wrong.Well,something was,as it turned out.I'm just glad he was not alone when he passed on-he was on the farm he managed,the place he loved best in all the world,and he was with one of his dearest +best longtime friends,a farm labourer named Michael.Michael held him whole he passed from this world.

This song was very much a part of my later childhood and teenage years.The 2 neighbour girls had a huge crush on the lead singer of a band that were playing for many years at a nightclub in the town i grew up-and they performed the cover version of this song every night.Later when i was older,i went to the same nightclub-and he was still doing his (very good) cover of this song

Great song, classic. You gotta love their snazzy outfits. Haha

This instantly takes me back to the days when i met my beloved hubby 17 years ago-it was all over-you could not turn on the radio without hearing it-our son loves it,more so since i told him it came out during the time i met his dad

But lets forgive my son for his love of Cottoneyed Joe-he really has good taste in music for a 6year old-here's some of his other faves

My son and i love jiving to this-a huge fave of us both!

Also this reminds me of my days living in Hillbrow,a part of Johannesburg city-i had some of the best days of my life there-unforgettable.

This is the song that always make me think of my oldest daughter,who's left the household by now,she lives with her fiance,luckily very close by.This movie freaked her OUTand it also reminds me of all the fun times we spent watching late-night movies through the years.We have a personality clash,and our relationship has often been strained,so i appreciate the good memories we do have.

Here is my current feelings about everything.. It doesn't exactly give an answer, but it is Everything.. Makes me feel good that others know the feeling.

This might be my favorite song of all time.. It's about my whole life.. Forever.

"I'm here for you"
~Eydea




The lyrics to that song are in the youtube description..

Ahhh Dustytoad,that was not just a reply to my thread-that was a gift.Thank you so very much! I may never have found this,if you did'nt post it.

I've always loved this-when i was a kid,i used to imagine being older,and driving in an open sportscar along a road flanked by high palm trees,and a beautiful moonlit bay below the high road i was driving on-i had a vivid imagination

And this too.I find this song so beautiful,and pirate-ish+sexy+smooth,like honey dripping on rum
I first heard this when i was pregnant with my oldest daughter-it always make me think of being on the ocean on one of those old ships,feeling the wind+sun on my face,living a life of total freedom and independence-and lots of seafood

Say,could any American member be so kind as to post another song from The Blessing called "DELTA RAIN" for me?It is SO special to me,i often get tears in my eyes when i hear it-but for some reason YT says the converter is not available for my country,to display the vid.I have felt,since i was a young child,a tremendous draw to New Orleans,and the bayous,since i first read of it in the adult library.(My mother was a sport+took out books for me on her cards) New Orleans and v/hoodoo-has fascinated me since i was a child-i often wonder if i did'nt have a previous life as a voodoo/hoodoo priestess in NO or the bayou's.(I'm a firm believer in reincarnation) Thats why i was completely heartbroken after Katrina,i felt a trememdous sense of sadness and loss-i wager more than many Americans even-it felt like a blow to my heart,personal pain-and the song Delta Rain grabs and tugs at my heart and soul-i can't describe it.Pleeeeeeeze???

I'm sorry that you're still unable to watch it Raxoxane. I will never understand why in some countries we can't watch particular videos from other countries, especially ones that aren't political in nature. Maybe it has to do with copyright issues or something is all I can think of. At least you found another version!

Gotta find a way to get home strong

Gotta find a way back home.

Gotta find the light to guide me along

Gotta find a way back home.

Running for your life won't get you so far

Running for your life so far

Gotta find the road to bring me home slow

Gotta find a way back home.



Gotta find a road that brings me back slow

Gotta find a way back home

The loving in your eye that holds you alive

Gotta find a way back home

Gotta find a way to get home strong

Gotta find a way back home.

Gotta find a road that brings me back slow

Gotta find a way back home
