<p>Continuing on with a thread from a couple of years ago. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>[Peter</a>, Paul and Mary - Don’t Think Twice](<a href=“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu-DWUngjhk]Peter”>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu-DWUngjhk)</p>

<p>That was a great thread. The song Halleluja, new to me at the time, was discussed there. Wow… I’ve heard it many times since and remember the thread. There are many versions - here’s one <a href=“Hallelujah (shrek song) Best version! - YouTube”>Hallelujah (shrek song) Best version! - YouTube;

<p>Heard this one the other day and thought of the old thread, can’t remember if I posted back then. Kids, college, leaving home never to return…get out the Kleenex</p>

<p>Tom Rush, Childs’s Song

<p>The NYT crossword sent me to listen to Anna Laurie. That’s a pretty song: <a href=“The Corries --- Annie Laurie - YouTube”>The Corries --- Annie Laurie - YouTube;

<p>Mwahulwana - Orchestra Marrabenta Star De Mocambique</p>

<p>Two Beatles’ classics I will listen to for the rest of my life:</p>

<p>Michelle</p>

<p>Yesterday</p>

<p>Norah Jones:</p>

<p>The Nearness of You</p>

<p>Then there are the Classical classics:</p>

<p>Debussy, Clair de Lune</p>

<p>Puccini, Mio Babbino Caro</p>

<p>Satie, Gymnopedies</p>

<p>Really, this question is a bit broad! My top 10 list has about 100 songs on it.</p>

<p>I Hope You Dance-Lee Ann Womack (and I’m not even a country fan)</p>

<p>Turn Around by Harry Belafonte</p>

<p>Looking for Space by John Denver</p>

<p>Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel</p>

<p>Almost anything by Peter, Paul and Mary, but Don’t Think Twice always seemed a bit sad to be pretty.</p>

<p>Just heard Enrique Granados’ Valses Poeticos. Makes my list–particularly the second one, a melody that recurs through the piece. </p>

<p>The composer himself in 1913 on a piano roll: <a href=“http://youtu.be/U2gLjXWzkD8”>http://youtu.be/U2gLjXWzkD8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I have so many favorites dating back to La cie darem la mano from Don Giovanni through How You Look Tonight by Kern/Fields but to highlight a few people may not know well:</p>

<p>Jem’s version of Cold Play’s Yellow
This Moment by Nic Chagall featuring vocal by Jonathan Mendelsohn. I sometimes put this on repeat and go for a walk.</p>

<p>Listened to this (Beethoven Symphony No. 7, 2nd movement) in a house where Beethoven lived in Vienna (I think the house was the inspiration for “Beethoven Lives Upstairs”). Powerful. (And a great viola part!)</p>

<p>My new obsession is this Ed Sheeran song.
