Song Lyric Sunday

Happy Song Lyric Sunday … Weather still gorgeous in Chicago this February and I think I can safely say that we can put a fork in this midwest winter that wasn’t (less for a few below zero days 🙂 ) . Today the prompt for SLS is a song by a duo. Great prompt, Mr. Jim I am going to do two as I never tire of listening to Andre Bocelli.

The first one is, “The Prayer” sung by Mr. Bocelli and Mz. Celine Dion…I could listen to Mr. Bocelli all day long. An amazing voice and I’m pretty sure my mom loved him too. She like me is a lover of all things musical.

This next song is also one sung by Andre Bocelli and Mr. Ed Sheeran. The title is quite fitting for this duet b/c their singing is, “Perfect.” I love the Italian/Irishman combo thing they have going on. I love, love, love watching Bocelli sing as he plays his voice just like a musical instrument … He’s and amazing tenor blessed with a true gift. This is a man who did not let his God given gift go to waste and he truly has made his mark on the musical world. I am so thankful for that, as we all should be. Music and the Arts just make the world such a better place.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and Happy Monday to all. Hope everyone has a great week…Love y’all, Scarlet …

Happy Christmas & Merry Everything

A Christmas Prayer

By Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

Loving Father, 

Help us remember the birth of Jesus, 

that we may share in the song of the angels,

the gladness of the shepherds, 

and the worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate

and open the door of love all over the world.

Let kindness come with every gift 

and good desires with every greeting. 

Deliver us from evil by the blessing

which Christ brings, 

and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

May the Christmas morning

make us happy to be Thy children, 

and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds 

with grateful thoughts,

forgiving and forgiven, 

for Jesus’ sake. 

Amen.

Gifts

With this being the Christmas Season I started thinking about gifts…So many things that you can buy. I came to the conclusion that the best gifts cannot be bought. The best gifts are the ones given to you by God and your mom 😉 .

I must send thank you’s to my mom for giving me the love of music. She made sure I learned how to play the piano and sang in the choir. I can remember every Saturday morning she would play the music, usually classical (which I loved and studied on the piano) or Opera’s (which I didn’t care for at all). I did however fall in love with Musical Theater <3 .

I thought I would share with you all of my favorites song’s of the season or really anytime of the year. Today I am going to share with you one of the best classical singer’s, Andrea Bocelli performing “Hallelujah,” with his daughter. This is a new version that I just came upon today it is heartwarming…Enjoy

Hallelujah
