Music

I have to say I love music. It can do so much for the soul if you find the right piece at the right time. Something to take you back and remind you of a moment in your life. I had one such moment this afternoon as I was tidying up and clearing out some paperwork. I found music from South Pacific. The song 'Younger than Springtime' is sung in the film / play by a man, but somehow I just love the notes to sing - there is something about the sharps and flats that really hit the spot! As soon as I saw it I couldn't help but sing it. So much so that I looked it up on You tube and have played it several times through. I remember being part of South Pacific with the fabulous am dram group Nowmads and this particular song was sung by a stunning tenor voice that sent shivers down my spine at the time.

Well, maybe I don't do it justice, but even for the sake of amusement, here is my effort! I realise the top notes are a little rough round the edges, but there is something that I think is there to lift us all.
It's given me renewed impetus to start singing again .....

Listen!

  1. Nice crooning there, Jen! Good to hear your singing voice again after all these years, that’s something else about you that hasn’t changed a bit.

    Found these on YouTube, thought you might find them enjoyable:

    She reminded me of you in a couple of spots, there. :)

    Cheers!
