Subject: Help finding a song! From: GUEST,ashley Date: 30 Jan 01 - 11:45 PM About a year ago I heard a song that I fell in love with..i just heard it for the 2nd time about a week ago but i cannot find the artist or song title. Some of the lyrics are "I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems...by myself, is the best way to be, all alone, where no one can say goodbye." I would greatly appreciate anyone's help. |
Subject: RE: Help: Help finding a song! From: mousethief Date: 30 Jan 01 - 11:48 PM Can you give us a little more info -- is this a pop tune, a C&W tune, a celtic folk thing, or....? Did you hear it performed live, or on a recording? If the latter, was the singer male or female?
Thanks and good luck, |
Subject: RE: Help: Help finding a song! From: GUEST,abisha62@earthlink.net Date: 31 Jan 01 - 12:14 AM I have been trying to find the following music or at least the words. My Mother use to sing these songs to me when I was a little girl but I am not sure what the titles were. One of the verse's was "Stay or (play) in your own back yard" Another verse was Lilac trees are blooming.... Another song had the verse in it "Underneath the old Umbrella" I wish I could remember the rest of these two songs. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Peggy |

Levy Collection of Sheet Music. I'm wondering if "Underneath the Old Umbrella" comes from "Strolling in the Rain," one of the Twenty Bath-Tub Ballads written by Robert W. Service, the guy who wrote the "Cremation of Sam McGee. Am I right? Didn't have any luck with the request from Ashley. -Joe Offer (e-mail sent to Peggy)- |
Subject: Lyr Add: CIRCLE (Edie Brickell) From: Joe Offer Date: 31 Jan 01 - 03:47 AM Oh, Ashley - I should have known your song right off - it's called "Circle," but Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians. You can find the lyrics here (click). It's from the album "Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars." Didn't she get married to Paul Simon? I liked a lot of her early stuff. -Joe Offer-
And being alone is the, is the best way to be Everything is temporary anyway And being alone is the, is the best way to be Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends

Subject: ADD: Strolling in the Rain From: Joe Offer Date: 31 Jan 01 - 03:59 AM Strolling in the Rain (Robert W. Service) I am blue when skies are blue And glad when skies are grey, There's a juicy burg, they call Duckville by the sea, If her name for mine she'll trade And little ones arrive,

From: GUEST,phyllisa@pei.sympatico.ca Date: 01 Feb 01 - 04:21 AM I am looking for a song that was written by the same author that wrote the " The Hills of Athenry". The verses start off like this......In an Irish town (village)? there lived a girl...Fairer than....Chorus..There she goes...ring and rose or rings and roses and there is something about Dublin. I would appreciate a help in locating the words . many thanks in advance! |
