MuzikTyme Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hello, music lovers! It always does my heart good to watch a lead vocalist put their heart and soul into what they are singing! This next performer certainly makes a great example, IMHO. (Errol Brown) His soul pours out, almost spiritually. Please feel free to add some of your own favourites, too! Emma ~ Hot Chocolate We were together since we were five She was so pretty Emma was a star in everyone's eyes And when she said she'd be a movie queen Nobody laughed Her face like an angel She could be anything. . . Emily, Emma Emily I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen Emily Emma Emily I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen At seventeen we were wed And worked day and night to earn our daily bread And ev' ry day Emma would go out searching for that play That never ever came her way. . . You know Sometimes she'd come home so depressed I'd hear her crying in the back room Feel so distressed And I'd remember back When she was five To the words that used to make Emily come alive. . . It was . . . Emily, Emma Emily I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen Emily Emma Emily I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen It was a cold and dark December night When I opened up her bedroom door To find her lying still and cold up on the bed; A love letter lying on the bedroom floor It read: Darling, I love you but I just can't keep on living on dreams no more I tried so very hard not to leave you alone I just can't keep on tryin' no more . . .

phil Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Elton John was considering suicide. Musician Long John Baldry helped him out of the darkness. This song is about that. Elton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Elton John was considering suicide. Musician Long John Baldry helped him out of the darkness. This song is about that. Elton Although I thought it was just about him being 'forced' to get married, and Long John Baldry saving his life in a metaphorical sense.

The Seeker Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 It was!!! It really was. I was going to post that one at first, but then I like this description of Layla too much: "There are few moments in the repertoire of recorded rock where a singer or writer has reached so deeply into himself that the effect of hearing him is akin to witnessing a murder, or a suicide...To me, Layla is the greatest of them" I think it's the best and most fitting description of a song I've ever seen.

The simple beauty of this next song holds great conviction in my eyes, ears and inner spirit . . . Annie's Song ~ John Denver You fill up my senses like a night in the forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Come let me love you Let me give my life to you Let me drown in your laughter Let me die in your arms Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you Come let me love you Come love me again You fill up my senses like a night in the forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert . . . Like a sleepy blue ocean . . . You fill up my senses Come fill me again . . . ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
