Cold mountain
Cold mountain
Lift your eyes to the sun, 
Cold mountain

Bold Mountain
Bold Mountain 
Energising the run
Bold Mountain

We can almost touch the atmosphere
The roof of the World from here
Calm in the storm, calm in the storm

Cold mountain
Cold mountain
Harsh and true
Cold mountain

Unforgiving mountain
Life giving mountain
Infamy we pursue
On this cold mountain

We can almost touch the atmosphere,
The roof of the World from here
Calm in the storm, calm in the storm

Stake our claim, we were born
Below the step we, meet at dawn
Crystal clear, diamond white
Highest view, the only sight

Mark Stanley 'Cold Mountain'

Currently playing lots of weddings and part of the deal is that I perform the first dance live. When selecting keys and also evaluating the song I record snippets to see how it is sounding.

Here is one of those snippets of the Billy Joel classic ' My Life'.

I am a huge Billy Joel fan so when ever his songs are requested I am delighted.

I am in Italy currently for 6 weeks so a fitting upload of an a cappella song :)

I was once fast and lean, with fire in my soul I decree
City Born, automatic, don't hold their weight with me,
The black of the night stalks me, through the wind, the hail and the rain, 
Glowing flame came through in the darkness, now theres sound in this empty space, this empty place

The springs finally unleash, blasting through like a hurricane,
My senses are unparalleled, nothing here I can't confess,
Moving left to right, I can hear in these restless places,
A night filled up with music, to liberate us once again, 


I was always a humbled man, through my veins a fire was lit,    
Waiting for a spark, waiting for a kick
That vision of the stark moonlight, Silouhettes laid out across the banks, 
Now I can come alive in this electric atmosphere, where the water's ripples dance, they dance

Wind whips the scent of the river, theres a blinding mist after the summer blaze,
My senses are unparalleled, nothing here I cant confess
Moving left to right, I can hear in these restless places,
A night filled up with music, to liberate us once again, 

Together my hands, keep me safe in your plans,
together my hands, keep me safe in your plans.

Rat runs crosswide, beaten on that tax slide,
Road run no fun, used car I ain't got one,
Passed class soaked mass, invested in that bent grass,
Raised hell protest, cos you never really owned that,

You've got a lucrative mischief man,
So sell me the World cos I don't give a dam,

Payphone slumped home, watch out for them new drones,
Eagle eye daytime, listening to that new jive,
Space trip take it, out of body mind trick,
Soul ran marathon man, but your heading for that oil slick,

You've got lucrative mischief man, 
So sell me the World cos I don't give a dam,

Beat down ten pound, knuckle dust gloves bound,
Ready kid no bids, the rabbit really should'a hid,
From farmer Jack with his new slacks, heading on that right track,
His blunt tongue like a bell rung, left you with that chronic bad back,

You've got lucrative mischief man, 
So sell me the World cos I don't give a dam,

Suit up coffee cup, be sure you sign that prenup,
Suit case city race, take me to your moon base,
Ant man speech man, thinking like that tin man,
Safe deal no appeal, just kicking round this beer can,

You've got lucrative mischief man, 
So sell me the World cos I don't give a dam.

Mark Stanley - Once I saw Chicago

All my life, all my life, 

I think that you could help me,
You don't see the need, see it in me,
Emptiness surrounds you, 
Tell me where you've been, the state I'm,

I can’t see the light, the dark soaked me up,
I never meant to take it out on you, it’s true, though I do

Chicago, its in your eyes, you can see the danger, 
You make no compromise,
Chicago, is here tonight, I don’t wan’t excuses
All my life,

Like nothing here is right, like nothing here tonight.

I’ve been waiting, i’ve been waiting,
I’ve been waiting, i’ve been waiting,
I’ve been waiting, i’ve been waiting,
I’ve been waiting, i’ve been waiting,

Chicago, its in your eyes, you can see the danger, 
You make no compromise,
Chicago, is here tonight, I don’t wan’t excuses
All my life,

Like nothing here is right, nothing here tonight,
Like nothing here is right, in the end, you were always right.

You were always, you were always, always.

Broken old piano leans across the wooded hall
Played a song from long ago before
The keys began to stall
Hold a place for you, in a room we can abandon all our cares
Yellow fades to blue, through a window out, 
Beyond the wooden stairs

I'll watch you sit and play, 
Want the World to stay still until it ends
Broken old piano haunting me,
The melodies it blends.

Ohh Ohh Ohh

If you are mine, a present life, a masterplan we can create
Give you piece of mind, when there's peace to find
Surely we can all relate
Hold a place for you, because you, make a greater sound
In a room that's filled, walls crescendo
Booming all around

I'll watch you sit and play
Want the World to stay still until it ends
Broken old piano out of phase 
The melodies it sends

Ooh Ooh Ooh Melodies, Ooh Ooh Ooh
