I didn’t turn up for choir yesterday
It was a conscious decision !
I felt a little too brittle
We meet weekly on zoom ( and have done for months)and sing in the confines of our own houses unheard by our fellow choristers but We are always buoyed up by lots of boxed smiles, Jamie ( our RAF faced choirmaster’s bouncy nature) and visits of Lyndi’s dog Charlie
“ We can see your Charlie Lyndi!”
Is often the joint call as her hairy mutt comes into view
And the whole rather artificial ( but supportive) meet is dovetailed by a robust and always emotional joint rendition of You Raise Me Up
You Raise me up
Is a true emotional romp
It is a song that can make you cry when things are mundane
When things are sticky, the whole piece can reduce you to mush...mush more mushy than wallpaper paste
And on many Tuesdays several of the on line choir can be seen getting rather emotional at the lyrics
Yesterday
I would have been rather glum
So I stayed away....
Hey ho
Sometimes you do what you have to do. That song always makes me cry, too, so I listened while in my sewing room with a box of tissues handy. Ta!
ReplyDeleteHave you eaten the Scotch eggs yet?
Hugs!
Both xx
DeleteScotch Eggs the magic medicine.
ReplyDeletewoof !
John, I would never be that young again. I can never be that young again. The beauty of being that young. I love that your Jamie is that young, almost, I guess. Thanks for the damp eyes.
ReplyDeleteX days and counting.
Well, now I'm teary eyed too. We all need raising up these days, don't we?
ReplyDeleteHas the choir ever sung 'Always look on the bright side of life' ?
ReplyDeleteOh gawd ... that song would set me off on the best of days. You need something happy and jolly to counter it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful song, I really miss listening to music.
ReplyDeleteThat Josh Groban is a bit of a dish too, isn’t he. Thinking about you in your lockdown, John x
ReplyDeleteOr rather “Thinking of you”. Hope the weather in Wales is better today at least.
DeleteWe both sat and listened to your choir as we celebrate this morning our twelfth wedding anniversary. A fitting start to our day. Thank you. Be strong dear man.
ReplyDeleteLXX
lovely. nothing wrong with a tear in the eye and it is a lovely song. Keep safe dear John and strong x
ReplyDeleteOne can not help feel the emotion of that beautiful song. Sometimes it is just better to to stay away and not open up ourselves to it. Work on the puzzle instead.
ReplyDeleteSome days are hard. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI had a difficult afternoon and evening yesterday. Had I watched the video yesterday, I would have been mush.
ReplyDeleteYou Raise Me Up...is a true spirit lifter. Two other songs I go to is "Let It Be" and "Be Not Afraid".
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful.
ReplyDelete"You raise me up" always brings me to tears. My best friend told me that song always reminds her of me. I cannot think of a more loving thing to say than that.
ReplyDeleteHere's one that makes me sad and happy, maybe I even got it from you to begin with.

I can't believe Josh is 39!!! I've loved him ever since he had to stand in for Andrea Boccelli to rehearse Céline Dion as a teenager. That doesn't make any of us any younger does it!
