Renditions of Good songs

From the Irregulars season 1 episode 5 the sailor's love waits by the moon the silver moon, the silver moon waiting for the sailor to come home soon come home soon, come home soon The creek of a bow on the midnight air the midnight air the midnight air And no more waiting for that maiden fair === Possibly written and arranged by Paul Haslinger who is music producer for the episode. I see no record of it as a song elsewhere. === The fact I cannot sing, does not mean I will not. AUAWN0328221

Light Chasers is the tenth studio album by the American indie rock group Cloud Cult that was released in stores on September 14, 2010. It was previously released on the band's website via digital download and mail order on June 28, 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Chasers === You were born into a strange world. Like a candle, you were meant to share the fire. I don't know where we come from, and I don't know where we go. But my arms were made to hold you, so I will never let you go. 'Cause you were born to change this life. You were born to chase the light. You were born Love your mother, yeah she's s good one. She'll build you armor; keep you warm as a hen. The stars may fall and the rains may pour, But I will love you evermore. You were born to make this right. You were born to chase the light. You were born Oh my precious, oh my love, when they come to take me, I will hold you from above. I don't know why we're here, and I don't know how, But I'm here with you now, I am here with you now. 'Cause you were born to make this right. 'Cause you were born to change this life. 'Cause you were born to chase the light. === I first noticed this on the Blacklist season 1. I don't ascribe to the theology implicit to the sentimentality, but feel it is awesome beautiful as a parent's tribute to the hope of a child. AUAWN0201121

For Boston after the bombing hit, 2013 === This video was made in '06 on iMovie .. I was new to video .. my sound track was experimental. http://conservativeweasel.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/we-shall-overcome-4-boston.html === "We Shall Overcome" is a protest song that became a key anthem of the US civil rights movement. The lyrics of the song are derived from the refrain of a gospel song by Charles Albert Tindley. The song was published in 1947 as "We Will Overcome" in the People's Songs Bulletin (a publication of People's Songs, an organization of which Pete Seeger was the director and guiding spirit). It appeared in the bulletin as a contribution of and with an introduction by Zilphia Horton, then music director of the Highlander Folk School of Monteagle, Tennessee, a school that trained union organizers. It was her favorite song and she taught it to Pete Seeger, who included it in his repertoire, as did many other activist singers, such as Frank Hamilton and Joe Glazer, who recorded it in 1950. The song became associated with the Civil Rights movement from 1959, when Guy Carawan stepped in as song leader at Highlander, and the school was the focus of student non-violent activism. It quickly became the movement's unofficial anthem. Seeger and other famous folksingers in the early 1960s, such as Joan Baez, sang the song at rallies, folk festivals, and concerts in the North and helped make it widely known. Since its rise to prominence, the song, and songs based on it, have been used in a variety of protests worldwide. === I was raised as an Atheist.

I apologise, this has nothing of Drake on it, except his words I poorly sing. I became aware of the song, melancholy, from a Blacklist episode in season 1. My primary motivation with these covers is to find songs with an ear whig quality. I don't seek to copy them, but give myself a reminder, and access to them. Before I was 21, every song I'd ever loved I'd bought half a dozen times as things got taken from me. I still don't have those songs for good, but I find I can remind myself of what I treasured. Melancholy numbers like this have a season, like Mitchell's Blue. I prefer gospel. I prefer progressive rock. I prefer classical. I do not like grunge or rap. === Five Leaves Left is the debut studio album by English folk musician Nick Drake. Recorded between 1968 and 1969, it was released in 1969 by record label Island. === Strange face, with your eyes So pale and sincere Underneath you know well You have nothing to fear For the dreams that came to you when so young Told of a life Where spring is sprung You would seem so frail In the cold of the night When the armies of emotion Go out to fight But while the earth sinks to its grave You sail to the sky On the crest of a wave So forget this cruel world Where I belong I'll just sit and wait And sing my song And if one day you should see me in the crowd Lend a hand and lift me To your place in the cloud === "'Cello Song" Danny Thompson – double bass Rocky Dzidzornu – congas, shaker Clare Lowther – cello https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Leaves_Left === AUAWN0125121

This video is about my daughter === Sunday morning. Church lunch. Patiently waiting to get tea. A little girl brings everything to a stop as she wanders around. Her dress is partly caught in her stockings and a waist bow is undone and dragging. The elderly lady getting tea stops everything to put the child right. I'm amused and point out it is good she has done that as the child could trip over it. And the lady replied that was exactly what she was thinking. I get my tea and and it is hot. Another young girl stand directly in front of me and I'm kind of glad I didn't spill the hot tea. She is holding a bottle of water that seems half her height. She looks at me, and I at her, wondering what she wants. I take the bottle from her and undo the lid. I am proud that I didn't spill the tea doing that. I hand back the bottle without the lid and she takes a sip. It gradually dawns on me that something is wrong. But before I ask the questions I should have thought of previously, her mother is at my shoulder. The mother is brilliant. "That is not yours" she says, without getting shrill but sounding hurt and exasperated with her daughter. The girl immediately moves to shield the bottle from her mother. I quickly apologise realising I could do nothing beneficial but withdraw. I feel shame at being so thoughtless. So I've made a video. === I was raised as an Atheist.

The lyrics to the Richmond Football Club Theme song was written in 1962, by Cabaret Singer Jack Malcomson. Malcomson, a regular performer at the Richmond Football Club's Pleasant Sunday Mornings, was approached by Committeeman to Alf Barnett , to write the song, after the club embarassed themselves on a previous interstate trip, when they had no song to sing. Oh we’re from Tigerland A fighting fury we’re from Tigerland In any weather you will see us with a grin Risking head and skin If we’re behind we’ll never mind we’ll fight and fight and win oh where from tigerland we never weaken til the final siren goes like the tigers of oldwe’re strong and we’re bold oh we’re from tiger -YELLOW AND BLACK- oh we’re from tigerland (To the tune of ‘Row, Row, Row’) This is reputed to be an older song, but does not seem to have had widespread acceptance. It seems to be modelled off Torquay Tigers We're the boys from Richmond We're the boys from Tigerland We proudly wear the yellow and the black And when it comes to football We play the same as Tiger Brand Right from the start We attack, We attack Onward the Tigers, Onward the Tigers Eat 'em alive boys and never give in For the honoured tradition The glory of old Richmond We play the game And we play it to win Onward the Tigers, Onward the Tigers We've got the team And there's nothing it lacks We've got heart, We've got skill We've got everything at Tigerland We are the Tigers The yellow and the blacks (Tune of Waltzing Matilda) === videos by David Daniel Ball for the Conservative Voice Author of History in a Year by the Conservative Voice http://www.amazon.com/David-Ball/e/B01683ZOWG I was raised as an Atheist.

Just because I cannot sing does not mean I will not sing === https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streets_of_Laredo_(song) "Streets of Laredo" (Laws B01, Roud 23650), also known as the "Cowboy's Lament", is a famous American cowboy ballad in which a dying cowboy tells his story to another cowboy. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time. Derived from the traditional folk song "The Unfortunate Rake", the song has become a folk music standard, and as such has been performed, recorded and adapted numerous times, with many variations. The title refers to the city of Laredo, Texas. The old-time cowboy Frank H. Maynard (1853–1926) of Colorado Springs, Colorado, claimed authorship of the revised Cowboy's Lament, and his story was widely reported in 1924 by the journalism professor Elmo Scott Watson, then on the faculty of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. === I was raised as an Atheist.

Just because I cannot sing does not mean I will not === https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unfortunate_Rake "The Unfortunate Lad", also known as "The Unfortunate Rake", is a traditional folk ballad (Roud 2; Laws Q26), which through the folk process has evolved into a large number of variants. The term "The Unfortunate Rake" is sometimes used as a generic name for types of variant, or for all variants, irrespective of the titles and/or the lyrics of the source material. For example, writing in the United States, Lodewick (1955), referring to a group of early variants that involve a soldier and a camp follower, as opposed to a group of versions that involve a prostitute, writes, "For identification, I shall call this by its most popular title, "The Unfortunate Rake". A follow-up piece by Goldstein (1959) in the same journal refers to "The Rake Cycle". === I was raised as an Atheist. I learned, after reading the Bible, that God loves me, and you.

I first heard this song yesterday. I like the message of dignity which is not present in modern debate with activists. Yet this is definitely a protest song. It protests war. I protest tyranny. I decided to employ the song as a broadside against the political movement seizing COVID-19 hysteria and over ruling peoples lives, promising falsely that people can be freed from death, by giving up their freedoms. Now I read about the history of the song, and see that in 1962, Dylan wrote it as a broadside against those building fall out shelters. I had already guessed from the 1962 date that, with JFK alive and the Vietnam War not really present and Korean war buried by Democrats in detente, that Dylan was not going for what today seems obvious. === Just because I cannot sing does not mean I will not === I was raised as an Atheist.

"K-K-K-Katy" was a World War I-era song written by Canadian American composer Geoffrey O'Hara in 1917 and published in 1918. The sheet music advertised it as "The Sensational Stammering Song Success Sung by the Soldiers and Sailors", as well as "The Sensational New Stammering Song." The song was first played at a garden party fund-raiser for the Red Cross in Collins Bay on Lake Ontario. O'Hara was from Chatham, Ontario, and taught music at Ontario University. === Jimmy was a soldier brave and bold, Katy was a maid with hair of gold, Like an act of fate, Kate was standing at the gate, Watching all the boys on dress parade. Kate smiled, with a twinkle in her eye, Jim said m-m-meet you by and by. That same night at eight, Jim was at the garden gate, Stuttering this song to K-K-Kate... K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy, You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore; When the m-m-m-moon shines, Over the cowshed, I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door. K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy, You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore; When the m-m-m-m-moon shines, Over the cowshed, I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door. No one ever looked so nice and neat, No one could be just as cute and sweet, That's what Jimmy thought, When the wedding ring he bought, Now he's off to France the foe to meet. Jimmy thought he'd like to take a chance, See if he could make the Kaiser dance, Stepping to a tune, All about the silv'ry moon, This is what they hear in far off France... K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy, You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore; When the m-m-m-moon shines, Over the cowshed, I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.

Penny Dreadful is a magnificent TV series. I sing the verses acapella. I'm not good, and don't pretend to be. I don't agree with the theology espoused by the verses. Because I believe God has given everyone a purpose with hope and joy in their lives. And I'm aware of suffering too, but always, for me, life is the answer, achieved by embracing God through Jesus. But penny dreadfuls weren't built around such thoughts. === https://ofangelsandseagulls.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/wonderfully-melancholic.html?showComment=1508059983472#c3805917610990822211 videos by David Daniel Ball for the Conservative Voice Author of History in a Year by the Conservative Voice http://www.amazon.com/David-Ball/e/B01683ZOWG https://www.facebook.com/DaODDBallWriter/?ref=bookmarks I was raised as an Atheist.

"You Send Me" is a 1957 single by R&B singer-songwriter Sam Cooke. The song was his first secular single released through Keen Records, an imprint of RCA Victor Records. (His first non-gospel single, "Lovable," was released earlier that year under a pseudonym.) Released in September 1957, the record became an instant hit, topping the charts on both the Billboard Pop and R&B singles charts. The record established Cooke as a mainstream R&B singer, apart from his gospel roots. At the same time a rendition was also released by Teresa Brewer, which reached #8 on the pop charts === On a shedu?

"You Don't Bring Me Flowers" is a song that hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1978. It is a song about two lovers who have drifted apart while they "go through the motions" and heartache of life together. The song was written by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman for the ill-fated TV show All That Glitters. The song was intended to be a theme song, but Norman Lear changed the concept of the show so that the song no longer fit. Eventually, Neil Diamond and several collaborators came upon the song (then only 45 seconds long) and expanded it with instrumental sections. The Bergmans expanded the song to full length with an additional verse, and the composition took form.
