Thank you to all contributors to this thread!
Let’s continue to share our favourite music :-) :-) :-)

Get Here....

Oleta Adams


You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
You can reach me by sailboat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slope
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had the way
Surely you'd be closer
I need you closer
You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you'd better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
I don't care, I don't care
I need you right here right now
I need you right here right now right by my side yeah
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can

Self indulge all you like Prickles :-D :-D :-D

I like Get Here too :-)

Oh that was so beautiful Prickles- it has made me cry!

Greased Lightning................. John Travolta

This song was supposed to have been sung by Jeff Conaway, who played Kenickie, in the Film Grease. But apparently John Travolta wanted it and put pressure on the producers in order to be given it!

M-
MYFANWY

This is a favourite with Welsh Male Voice Choirs and other artists.
This one is my favourite at present but I love many other versions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2f382uMJvA

Paham mae dicter, O Myfanwy,
Yn llenwi'th lygaid duon di?
A'th ruddiau tirion, O Myfanwy,
Heb wrido wrth fy ngweled i?
Pa le mae'r wên oedd ar dy wefus
Fu'n cynnau 'nghariad ffyddlon ffôl?
Pa le mae sain dy eiriau melys,
Fu'n denu'n nghalon ar dy ôl?

Pa beth a wneuthum, O Myfanwy
I haeddu gwg dy ddwyrudd hardd?
Ai chwarae oeddit, O Myfanwy
 thanau euraidd serch dy fardd?
Wyt eiddo im drwy gywir amod
Ai gormod cadw'th air i mi?
Ni cheisiaf fyth mo'th law, Myfanwy,
Heb gael dy galon gyda hi.

Myfanwy boed yr holl o'th fywyd
Dan heulwen ddisglair canol dydd.
A boed i rosyn gwridog iechyd
I ddawnsio ganmlwydd ar dy rudd.
Anghofia'r oll o'th addewidion
A wnest i rywun, 'ngeneth ddel,
A dyro'th law, Myfanwy dirion
I ddim ond dweud y gair "Ffarwél".

ENGLISH TRANSLATION-

Why is it anger, O Myfanwy,
That fills your eyes so dark and clear?
Your gentle cheeks, O sweet Myfanwy,
Why blush they not when I draw near?
Where is the smile that once most tender
Kindled my love so fond, so true?
Where is the sound of your sweet words,
That drew my heart to follow you?

What have I done, O my Myfanwy,
To earn your frown? What is my blame?
Was it just play, my sweet Myfanwy,
To set your poet's love aflame?
You truly once to me were promised,
Is it too much to keep your part?
I wish no more your hand, Myfanwy,
If I no longer have your heart.

Myfanwy, may you spend your lifetime
Beneath the midday sunshine's glow,
And on your cheeks O may the roses
Dance for a hundred years or so.
Forget now all the words of promise
You made to one who loved you well,
Give me your hand, my sweet Myfanwy,
But one last time, to say "farewell".

I love that song.

That version gave me goose bumps!........Beautiful. :-)

<3 PAN FO'R NOS YN HIR....

Ryan a Ronnie...... (a Welsh Double act like Morecambe and Wise but with singing!)

PAN FO'R NOS YN HIR....written by Ryan Davies (above)

Pan fyddo’r nos yn hir,
A phell y wawr.
Brwydro drwy’r oriau hir,
Heb gwsg un awr.
Ymladd a throi a throi,
Drwy’r oriau maith.
Heb weled diwedd ddoe,
Na phen i’r daith.
Yna drwy’r twyllwch du,
Gwelaf dy wyneb di,
Wrth gofio’r rhamant,
Cau mae’r amrant,
Pan fo’r nos yn hir.
Yna drwy’r twyllwch du,
Gwelaf dy wyneb di,
Ac ofn a cilio braw diflana
pan fo'r nos yn ddydd

ENGLISH LITERAL TRANSLATION-

WHEN THE NIGHT IS LONG:

When the night is long
and the dawn is far away
Battling through the long hours
without an hour’s sleep
Fighting, tossing and turning
through the great, long hours
Without seeing the close of yesterday
nor the end of my journey
Then through the black darkness
I see your face
I remember the romance
the eyelid closes
When the night is long.

Then through the black darkness
I see your face
Fear and terror vanish away
When the night becomes day

Gosh, i am already a wee bit sniffy, sniffy after learning about the death of our lovely~~~~ Jonesey. :-\

I shall end up a sobbling wreck in a minute. :-D

Ok........i am cheating a bit here but this one is for Jonesey.

You can cheat if you like Prickles! This thread is about sharing our love of music and chatting as much as an alphabetical order! :-) :-)

I'm so sorry about Jonesey, I didn't know him myself, but I can see he was well thought of! Bad week for the GR Family, between Jonesey and GRMarilyn :-( :-(

Lovely song choice Prickles! Just listened to it!
