http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGAVwQAmAHs

( wonder who wrote it ? )

Deliver Me........ a classic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dwP8Q1I9Vs

( writ by writ by Helena Marsh & John Marsh check out the group....
"The Beloved " )


"Forever Young".... see post 1 ..... is by the
German Synth group ..... Alphaville .....
the song written by Gold/Lloyd/Mertens who
seem to be the guys in the band.

I like Sarah Brightman - I think she has a beautiful voice.

I'm guessing that everyone's idea of an amazing song is going to be very different because of varying tastes. For me an amazing song is a song with interesting or moving lyrics which is sung by a good singer.

I would choose My Invitation by Sarah Slean. It's hard to explain why - it's just a song I could listen to over and over.

Sarah Slean - My Invitation Live

I love to hear "I Got Your Back" from my most favorite singer James Otto.

God bless you and him always!!!

To be completely honest I haven't heard of James Otto before . I had a listen and I like the song. I think it always shows a very talented singer when they can sing alone - just them and their instrument and still sound good.

^^^ Thank you so much for checking him out! I love when its just his guitar and his singing too.

God bless you and James always!!!

My Love My Life.... is this Abba's greatest ever song ?

I do like My Love My Life but for me The Name Of The Game is my favourite ABBA song.

ABBA The Name Of The Game

North Winds Blowing.... The Stranglers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg-QbuMCpGA




I saw an orange robe burning
I saw a youth on fire
I saw metal machines that were turning
On a generation that hadn't yet tired

I heard of two generations being murdered
In a Europe that was shrouded in black
I witnessed the birth pains of new nations
When the chosen people finally went back

North Winds Blowing
I wish it would blow all away
North Winds Blowing
I wish they would blow all away
I wish they would blow all away

I saw freedom in the shape of disease
And mainly men had to quench their desire
And while a few could do just as they pleased
I saw kids whose bellies were all on fire

When all is dead and war is over
When hollow victory has been won
Who will join in the celebration
Of the evil that just can't be undone?

North Winds Blowing
I wish it would blow all away
North Winds Blowing
I wish they would blow all away
I wish they would blow all away

I used to dream about destruction
But now that I feel it getting near
I spend my time watching the ocean
And waves are all I want to hear

I wish I was a believer
I'd spend less time in being sad
So many laws against disbelieving
Don't know who's good or who's bad

North Winds Blowing
North Winds Blowing
North Winds Blowing
North Winds Blowing

But were these Elton's swan songs ?

Has he written anything to compare in the last 20 years ?
