This is a cover of the song by Oziur, available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZXZeM7bJmI&feature=player_embedded Artist: Oziur Title: Catch Me Album: Black Promisses Lyrics and vocals by Djev Asnew Music by A. Riuz Videoproductions Djev Asnew Photography by Hegel All rights reserved © by o0o™ === I love this piece and I find I wanted to cover it because we are approaching the anniversary of the death of my father, and this song covers elements of my relationship with my dad. He didn't like me or respect me, and I suspect that he was partly responsible for the abuse of me surrounding the death of school boy Hamidur Rahman and the bungled pedophile investigation that seems to have sparked it. He wasn't stupid, and he was aware of what he was doing, and on a few private occasions made clumsy attempts to apologize. But he seemed to be intimidated by my choosing to follow Christ and even at the end seemed to suggest he was too proud to attempt to come to terms. My last words to him were meant to hurt. I smiled and waved and reminded him to stay in touch. I can be cold like that.

The First Nowell (also written The First Noël) is a traditional English Christmas carol, most likely from the 18th century, although possibly earlier. The word Noel comes from the French word Noël meaning "Christmas", from the Latin word natalis ("birth"). In its current form it is of Cornish origin, and it was first published in Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern (1823) and Gilbert and Sandys Christmas Carols (1833), both of which were edited by William B. Sandys and arranged, edited and with extra lyrics written by Davies Gilbert. Today, it is usually performed in a four-part hymn arrangement by the English composer John Stainer, first published in his Christmas Carols, New and Old of 1871. The melody is unusual among English folk melodies in that it consists of one musical phrase repeated twice, followed by a variation on that phrase. All three phrases end on the third of the scale. The refrain, also unusually, merely repeats the melody of the verse. It is thought to be a corruption of an earlier melody sung in a church gallery setting "The First O Well"; a conjectural reconstruction of this earlier version can be found in the New Oxford Book of Carols. http://conservativeweasel.blogspot.com/2010/12/daily-devotional-sunday-26th-december.html

"The Way You Look Tonight" is a song from the film Swing Time that was performed by Fred Astaire and composed by Jerome Kern with lyrics written by Dorothy Fields. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936. Fields remarked, "The first time Jerry played that melody for me I went out and started to cry. The release absolutely killed me. I couldn't stop, it was so beautiful." In the movie, Astaire sang "The Way You Look Tonight" to Ginger Rogers while she was washing her hair in an adjacent room. His recording reached the top of the charts in 1936. Other versions that year were by Guy Lombardo and by Teddy Wilson with Billie Holiday. === I had heard the song growing up, but, recently, heard it on "Agent Carter" and thought I'd add it to my collection. My voice is out of tune as I no longer sing at church. I'm at the end of my time, looking back. Today is the anniversary of the death of my father in 2009. I wanted a tribute for the great man. But all I got is this. === I was raised as an Atheist. I learned, after reading the Bible, that God loves me, and you. This is his song for you too. He loves you, and wants to be with you. All the elements are me and mine. ARIA ISRC number AUAWN1209120

"Sweet Georgia Brown" is a jazz standard and pop tune written in 1925 by Ben Bernie and Maceo Pinkard (music) and Kenneth Casey (lyrics). The tune was first recorded on March 19, 1925 by bandleader Ben Bernie, resulting in a five-week No. 1 for Ben Bernie and his Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra. As Bernie's then nationally famous orchestra featuring the number did much to popularize the number, Pinkard cut Bernie in for a share of the tune's royalties by giving him a co-writer credit to the song

"Desperado" is a soft rock song by the Eagles, an American rock band. Group members Glenn Frey and Don Henley wrote the song. It first appeared on the 1973 album Desperado, and has later appeared on numerous compilation albums although it was not a single.
