I would love to see a stochastic top twenty. Obscure perhaps, but I would listen. And, others might too. |

Location: United Kingdom | Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev’d;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ’d!
Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promis’d good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be forever mine.
Il Divo in an amazing performance of
‘Amazing Grace’
John Newton 1725 - 1807

Location: United Kingdom | I Believe In Angels
I have a dream, a song to sing,
To help me cope with anything.
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale,
You can take the future even if you fail.
I believe in Angels,
Something good in everything I see.
I believe in Angels,
When I know the time is right for me,
I’ll cross the stream – I have a dream.
I have a dream, a fantasy,
To help me through reality.
And my destination makes it worth the while,
Pushing through the darkness still another mile.
I believe in Angels,
Something good in everything I see.
I believe in Angels,
When I know the time is right for me,
I’ll cross the stream – I have a dream.
I have a dream, a song to sing,
To help me cope with anything.
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale,
You can take the future even if you fail.
I believe in Angels,
Something good in everything I see.
I believe in Angels,
When I know the time is right for me,
I’ll cross the stream – I have a dream.

Location: United Kingdom | The Wanderer
I come from highlands down to shore,
The valleys steam, the oceans roar.
I wander silent, joyless here:
My sigh keeps asking! ‘Where? Oh, where?’
Their Sun appears to me so cold,
Their blossoms limp, their life so old;
And what they speak of, empty fare:
I am a stranger everywhere.
Where are you, land, beloved home?
Imagined, sought, but never known!
The land, the land, whence hope does flow,
The land where all my roses grow,
Where friends shall never meet in vain,
Where all my dead shall rise again,
The land that speaks my language true:
Oh land, where are you?
I wander silent, joyless here,
My sigh keeps asking: ‘Where? Oh where?’
The spirits answer my distress:
‘Where you are not, there’s happiness.’
Georg Phillip Schmidt

Location: United Kingdom | Moonlight in Vermont
Pennies in a stream,
Falling leaves of sycamore,
Moonlight in Vermont.
Icy fingers wave,
Ski trails on a mountainside,
Snowlight in Vermont.
Telegraph cables,
They swing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road.
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely
Evening summer breeze,
Warbling of a meadowlark,
Moonlight in Vermont.

And they travel each bend in the road.

Ev’ning summer breeze,
Warbling of a meadowlark,
Moonlight in Vermont.
You and I,
And Moonlight in Vermont.

Location: United Kingdom | Well, not exactly a song - but I hope you'll like it anyway.
A Sigh
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no more
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
William Shakespeare

| Hi Aqua
Of course I knew that, and wasn't being 'heavy' ... just that off-line I have to delete spam regularly and some of that is in foreign languages praising Nike, usually, so I have to be consistent ... although I realize you were not praising that much maligned Goddess ....
Best

Location: United Kingdom | And now for a change of pace: Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves
Drift by my window.
The falling leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips,
The summer kisses,
The sunburned hands I used to hold.
Since you went away,
The days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter song,
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.
Since you went away,
The days grow long,
And soon I’ll hear old winter song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.
I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.
A much-recorded song that originally appeared in 1945 as the French song ‘Les feuilles mortes’, literally ‘The Dead Leaves’, with music by the Hungarian-French composer Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert. Its Hungarian title is ‘Hulló levelek’ or ‘Falling Leaves’. In 1946 Yves Montand with Irène Joachim introduced it as ‘Les feuilles mortes’ in the film ‘Les Portes de la nuit’.
