Lovely song!


"There's a melody in my head, and I ain't stopped humming it since I saw your face..."

This is lovely, I discovered it a few years ago and it is one of my favourite songs. The lyrics are gorgeous, and she has a really good voice. I love the video too; Katrina is so sweet and the landscapes in the video are so wild and natural and beautiful.

"I wanna laugh, I wanna live, 
I'm gonna love you like there is...
like there is no end in sight..."

So adorable!

And she reminds me so much of Ola Jordan from Strictly Come Dancing! And Helen Skelton!

I love this song, it's one of those happy songs that just makes you smile

Song: No End In Sight - Katrina Elam

One of my other favourite songs!


With just about every music video I see, I think, "If I was directing this, here are the things which I would do differently..."

Yet this video is actually just about perfect. The way such a huge story - the story of a man's life and love - is portrayed so clearly in just four and a half minutes, and all in the same setting. I love it!

Also, the lyrics of the song are lovely and the melody has such an upbeat and hopeful tone to it, that it can really cheer me up if I am unhappy. 

It is also a great song to sing along to - it is so catchy! And it is so tempting to get up and dance!

I love this song; in my opinion it is one of the best songs ever written.

"Don't you dare give up... love changes everything."

Song: Love Changes (Everything) - Climie Fisher

Probably my all-time favourite song!

I love this song!

I first heard someone singing it on Stars In Their Eyes, and I liked the song but could only ever remember the chorus as I had only heard the song that once.

A long time passed and I forgot about it, then I heard it on the radio and I loved it and I looked it up and found the video on YouTube.

And what a lovely video! I adore seeing musicians enjoying themselves in music videos; just having a laugh and making you, the viewer and listener, smile with them.

And it goes without saying that Alison's voice is just sensational.

A lovely song, an adorable singer and a band who look like they are a great lot to hang around with, judging from the video.

Long live Alison Moyet! She is just amazing.


I hope that you enjoy this song as much as I always have done.

Bonjour!

Hi!

Having got back from a week in the South of France, I am now obsessed with French music!


Here is a sample of what I have been listening to:






I study French and I love the French language and culture, and I love French music! I know that I have only just scratched the surface; that there is a whole world of French music out there, and I am truly looking forward to many happy years of discovering it.

Gorgeous song!


My mum recommended this to me and, like most songs she recommends to me, it is amazing.

Gorgeous song, just exquisite. Roberta has a fantastic voice and sings this beautifully and with so much soul and feeling. The lyrics are lovely and the tune is mesmerisingly beautiful and emotional.

The arrangement on this LP is amazing; the sound is clear and sharp and the instruments and Roberta's voice go together perfectly and create the most gorgeous harmonies.

I will sign off before I have used the word "gorgeous" a million times! But it describes this song to a T!

Be warned: this video is a bit psychedelic towards the beginning!

Song: Oasis - Roberta Flack

I am in love with this song


I discovered this via Strictly Come Dancing, and now I love it! Truly beautiful lyrics and music, and two amazing voices which suit each other gorgeously. I love this song! I can't get it out of my head! Just wonderful.
