I'd like to hear the following songs at my funeral. 1. When The River Meets The Sea: By John Denver and The Muppets Such a peaceful song about the circle of life, and discovering what happens when we die, when the world is in perfect harmony once again. When The River Meets The Sea Words By Paul Williams Music By John Denver Verse 1. When the mountain, touches the valley. All the clouds are taught to fly. As our souls will leave this land, most peacefully. Though our minds, be filled with questions. In our hearts we'll understand. When the river meets the sea. Verse 2. Like a flower, that has blossomed. In this dry and barren sand. We are born and born again, most gracefully. Thus the winds, of time will take us. With a sure and steady hand. When the river meets the sea. Verse 3. Patience, my brothers. And patience, my son. In that sweet and final hour. Truth and justice will be done. Verse 4. Like a baby, when it is sleepin’. In its mother's lovin’ arms. What a newborn baby dreams, is a mystery, a mystery. And this life, will have a purpose. And in time, we'll understand. When the river meets the sea. When the river meets, the almighty sea! 2. Philadelphia: By Neil Young Such a beautiful song, and the perfect little lullaby to send your soul to a loved one who has passed on.

Did you just say John Oates looked like Freddy Mercury? And did you just say Daryl Hall looked like a chick? That's pretty strange!

Not everybody knows everything. I may be 23, but I've just never heard that particular expression. It sounds so new to me.

Can you explain what you mean? How could Daryl Hall possibly look like a woman? And, John Oates with the bedroom eyes? What are bedroom eyes? Was he sleepy? I'm confused!

Oh, I got it! SF, Songfacts.

Yeah Phil, you said it right! Good ol' Philly soul! Believe me, had it not been for Hall & Oates, I wouldn't have that ability to sing from my heart and soul! They sure showed me the way, as did a lot of musicians from The City Of Brotherly Love --- That's Philadelphia!

So, in other words, you never liked the Hall & Oates song either? I think Hall & Oates are cool! And by the way, today is Daryl Hall's birthday! He's 61, and to me, I say he's still going strong!

What's SF stand for?

Today is the day, when we shall all stand, join hands together, and say, Happy Birthday to you, Daryl Hall! Do any of you remember Daryl Hall? Today is the day he turns 61! 61 and still going strong!

Which one? The Van Halen song? Or the Hall & Oates song?

Someone on songfacts, I'm not quite sure who it was, said that Van Halen's song, "Jump" was partially inspired by the Hall & Oates song, "Kiss On My List". Is this true? Or is it just another rumor? Please help clear up this confusion for me!

Thank you so much. You are such a sweetheart. I never thought I'd find a downloadable version of the full-length recording of that song anywhere. And you won't believe this, I listened to it, created a word document, and, one by one, I wrote down all the lyrics! Isn't that just really cool?

When I click the link, it's actually supposed to go directly to the selected track, and it's supposed to play for me. So, why doesn't that happen?

Now, for some reason, when I click on this link, it won't play for me! Instead, there's a message that reads, "Invalid Syntax Error". I know I have the Rhapsody Player installed on my computer. So what's going on?

Has anyone found out about the smooth jazz song I'm trying to find? I know it's an instrumental song, featuring a Roland CR78 Drum machine as the beat, either a synth or an electric bass, a synthesized version of a French Horn, possibly done on either a Moog or an Oberheim as the main instrument that played the melody, and some other keyboards in the background. It's a techno beat, and it's mostly in the key of G-minor. And like I said, it is also featured in a movie. Some say it might be Paul Hardcastle's "Rain Forest", but I know for sure that that's not the one I'm thinking of.

I believe it is actually a misunderstanding on your part.

I know I may have asked this question a long time ago, but I still haven't found the answer. I know that you can browse the songfacts by Song Title, Year, and artist, but is there a possibility of browsing the songfacts by Category? I wonder if this can be a new feature included in your next update. you said that that particular feature will appear when you redesign the homepage. Also, you had asked how the categories should be displayed, and I believe the best way to display them is in a full list, like in a pulldown menu (Combo Box), or you could put them in a list format, with a link for each category. If the homepage has to be redesigned, do you have any idea of a specific time that this will happen? Will it be part of your next update?

Nope, never met the guy.

My friend, Kate and I went and saw Ben Taylor on 11/6/2006 at the Wow Hall in Eugene, Oregon, , and I've got to tell you, he's awesome! He's incredible! When I was in the audience, while there were slight applause, I shouted out from the back row, "I Love You Ben!". Ben smiled and said, "I love you Too! Does that mean I've gotta buy you a house?" That certainly generated a good laugh from the audience. I smiled and said, "No no no, Ben, you don't have to buy me a house!" To be honest with you, the whole audience cracked up! I even asked Sonya Kitchell if she was from Scotland. If any of you are wondering who Sonya Kitchell is, she's one of Ben Taylor's best friends. So is David Saw. They are both up and coming singer/songwriters, who frequently perform with Ben Taylor. The quote I said was, "Hey sonya! Are you from Scotland?" Sonya said, "I could be from Scotland if you want me to." That even got a good laugh from the audience members as well. As a matter of fact, I actually got the chance to talk to Ben! At the end of the concert, while in the lobby, I walked over to him and said, "Pleased to meet you, I'm Annabelle." And then Ben smiled and said, "Hi Annabelle, nice to meet you." Then I said, "And what's your name?" Ben smiled and said, "I'm Ben." And I said, "Ben ... Ben ... Ben?" Then he smiled and said, "Ben taylor, yeah." Then I looked at him and said, "Hey, you're James Taylor's son! Ah." Then Ben said, "Yeah, that's right, I'm his son. Come here, let me give you a hug." Then Ben and I embraced each other in a tight hugg. I started off our nice conversation by telling him, "I have been a fan of yours and your father's for quite a long time." Ben said, "Yeah?" Then I said, "I was introduced to your father's music when I was three." Then Ben said, "Uh Huh?" Then I said, "And I was introduced to your music, ten years later when I was living with my Dad in Baltimore." Then Ben smiled and said, "Oh Wow, how 'bout that!" And when we talked to each other, he seemed like he was quite a nice guy! To be 100% honest with you, he didn't say profanity, not even one, teensy weensy piece of profanity, and on top of that, he didn't even call me any names that would offend me. When I asked him about his recording of the song, "I Will", I said, "And speaking of recordings and music, there's this one song that I have been fond of for quite some time. I have one of the versions ... Remember that song, "I Will"?" And he said, "Yeah, it's a Beatles song, yeah." When I pulled out my little digital recorder full of music, I said, "I have this digital recorder right here. Some people think it looks like a cell phone!" We both laughed, then he held out his hand for me to show him. Then I went and played him an example of the version from the soundtrack of "Bye Bye Love". He smiled and said, "Oh, wow, I'd forgotten all about that song. But I still remember it." I don't know exactly what he meant when he said that he'd forgotten about that song, but he still remembers it. Then I played him the longer version, and I said, "You notice how the guitar is different on this recording? But the melody you sing is exactly the same as the other version?" Then Ben said, "You know what they might've done? They might've done a separate mix of it, but it was derived from the same recording." I asked him a little more about the longer version of the recording, in other words, the one that's played on the music video. I said to him, "Where would I begin to find it, because, to tell you the truth, Ben, I have literally been pulling my hair out for months, trying to find this recording." Then Ben said to me, "No no no, you don't wanna do that, that's no good. You wouldn't wanna pull your hair out. You're too pretty, sweet girl." Then I asked him some more about the longer version of the recording of "I Will", and he told me that that recording and the recording from the soundtrack of "Bye Bye Love" could've possibly been taken from the same recording. I asked him, "How could they have possibly been two mixes of the same recording if you played guitar, and the guitar arrangement was different on both versions, but the melody you sing is exactly the same?" He said, "You know what, another possibility was that you might have gotten the original demo recording that I did with my Old Man in New Mexico." I still wonder who he's calling, his "Old Man". I asked him how that could've been a demo recording, as demos are usually rough versions, and that one, if it were in CD-quality, would've sounded like you were actually in the recording studio when he recorded it. I even said to him, "I want to know, how could it have been the demo version, when that longer version was in fact the one I heard on the radio the first time I heard your recording?" I asked Ben where I could find a CD-quality recording of the longer version, and he told me that the only way I could possibly find it is to keep searching. At the end of the night, I shared with him a little song that I wrote for James and Livingston Taylor, entitled "Two Loving Brothers Bond", and he said to me, "Oh, that's beautiful. You have a lovely voice." And I smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben!" And we embraced each other once more. Then I wanted to give him my Email Address and phone number. And he said, "To be honest with you, the only Email I have is on Myspace." The thing I was shocked to hear him say was, "To be honest with you, I don't even have a phone!" Then I said, "You don't have a phone? How are you gonna be able to talk to me?" Then he told me that Email Via Myspace is the only way I could contact him. But he reassured me that the longer version of his recording of "I Will" is out there somewhere, I just have to keep looking and searching and searching. He even said that he loves the song I wrote for his Papa James and Uncle Liv. As we finished off our conversation, he said, "I love that song that you wrote about my family." Then I smiled at him and said, "Aw Yeah, I love them Taylors! You guys are Golden Taylors, Ben." Then ben said, "Aw, thanks a lot, Love." Then I said, "You're Welcome." As Kate and I started to leave, I said, "I love you Ben." He said, "I love you too." Then I said, "Bye." Then, as he was walking away, he smiled and said, "Bye Bye, Love."

Well, sure enough, now you have! I'm someone who always tries to look on the bright side. You're probably thinking, tragic there isn't more of my kind. However, there are lots of people who are optimists like me. After all, I was actually born in California. Long Beach to be exact. I grew up on Catalina Island, a place where there's nothing but the good side! Even in Oregon, there's a good side as well. Who wouldn't want to be friends with someone like me?

Why sure. If you look on the bright side, rather than look on the dark side, you'll see what I mean! Why focus on the bad stuff, when there's plenty of good stuff to discover. Why focus on the sad notes, when in fact there are happy notes of the city? One definite happy note, Philadelphia's the birthplace of our mighty nation, the United States!

I'm not so sure what Billy did say, though I've heard that song many times, as I actually have it on his greatest hits album. As for why I'm so excited, it's because I'm going to be seeing my Uncle Dave, who lives in Warrington, not too far from Allentown. If I could visualize what Allentown is like, I'd much rather look at it as the soft side of Pennsylvania, rather than the hard side. Same with Philadelphia.

Obsession? I wouldn't exactly call it an obsession if I were you. If it was "obsession", I would be feeling certain emotions that I don't want to feel. Let's just say, I have an affinity for Philadelphia. After all, who doesn't want to take a strong liking to a city whose name literally means "Brotherly Love"?

Are you trying to tell me that Pennsylvania is the home of the Amish? The Amish are in Allentown? Even in Philadelphia?
