Christmas Medley

///Life is different when you know you're loved///

You speak, sweet as honey
Beauty right here in front of me
When I'm cold, you're close
You want to share your innermost
My love, (God knows) it falters
Somehow, your expression never alters
You smile bright, on full-beam
Burning through my daydreams

There can be nothing better than your singing over my heart
But when I'm walking dead again, 
I want to walk so far...

Still, you pour out your love.
It comes through a door you opened
That no-one could ever shut.
Still, you pour out your love -
It's a dawn that's forever broken
That the dark couldn't cover up

I wake up with my humanity
Always catching, catching up with me
When I lose my mind
You throw light onto the storyline:
It runs right from the beginning
To a resolution that is pretty winning.
Right now, I'm in it
(Romantic, how you lift my spirit)

You call me, so I'm pressing on
To that unbeatable smile
But when I look back at myself
My deeds, they seem so vile

Still, you pour out your love.
It comes through a door you opened
That no-one could ever shut.
Still, you pour out your love -
What a powerful word you've spoken
Who am I, love, to interrupt?

I'm bathing in that never-fading dawn
I'm never failing, 'cause you're setting the bar,
Calling me out with a victory-song

You love me for who I am

Still You Pour Out Your Love

---Composed by Arthur Kent, with lyrics by Sylvia Dee---

To coincide with sunny days, anxiety-inducing times, and a world generally in need of the mental image of Morecambe and Wise dancing jauntily away, here is a cover of a song beginning with B.

OK, we modified some lyrics, because hey! being happy all the time isn't a helpful expectation. But the expectation that sadness is temporary - that's a good one to hold onto. May the seratonin be with you xxx

Emma Dornan on lead vox here :)

B - Bring Me Sunshine

Lots of us need cheering up right now. My modest attempt to leaven the mood is following up on an idea I had in the 1st lockdown - do 26 awesome happy cover songs in alphabetical order!
Let's start with a few lads called The Beatles. Still thought of by many as the Alpha of pop music, they're probably not but I like them anyway. And if you're gonna do the classics, there's no point in trying to make them *sound* like the classics... 
I'm gonna try to keep to my own Alphabetical rules: each original artist will be featured once, each letter has to be represented. Bring on some suggestions for future letters!

A - And I Love Her

Wham, there it is!
Third in our alphabet of covers, this is an attempt to project ourselves into a warm climate; into a place where the sun is always out and the clothing is defiantly 80s.

C - Club Tropicana

o-wa o-wa
-----
Of all the songs that begins with D, this is the flippin jauntiest song I could think of. Thanks to Paul Simon.

D - Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

Simon wrote it
He & Garfunkel sang it

(pause for 50-something years)

I recorded it

K - Kathy's Song

am i ready
to re-
turn to the 
party?

UK-based singer-songwriter -  listen to my album FLORA & FAUNA
