I wish you the strength of loving memories. It's hard, that first Christmas.
My parents died around Christmas, within 10 days of each other. I was just numb, that first Christmas.

Thank you so much @Simha it must of been heartbreaking for you to lose 2 parents in such a short time :( but we are blessed with wonderful memories, my dad was quite a character, bless him <3

Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

When I was about 10 years old maybe 11 my mum and dad bought me a Dansette for Christmas this was the first LP I ever bought after saving my pocket money up for a few weeks.

Prokofiev / Peter Ustinov / Herbert von Karajan, 1960: Peter And The Wolf.

So many versions...but this one is beautiful.

There is so much music out there to touch the soul.

And deep within my restless soul a note is touched by
to find peace within and remember those whose life has been and will be so much harder than I can ever imagine.

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
You know that sound when the needle gets to the centre of the record?
Tsschk....tsschk.....tsschk......tsschk....

Actually there have been times when this has been the soundtrack for me and I suspect I am not alone in this.

great choice..Nice post.

Agree..sat and watched that a long time back..sharing a house....bored.
all set to eject video, and move on to next one...then they sang "Look down..."
and i was mesmerised.

seen the show a couple of times.
Weirdly, at the 1st i loved the first half..
and the second show preferred the 2nd half.

How ever THAT stage version video..watched it many, many times..'master of the house' what a joy to see and it's ALL so good.
beat the pair of them hands down.
and as for the Film with a marvellous actor like crowe..please don't get me started. awful.

The Gadfly by Shostakovich (see theme tune for the TV movie (Reilly, Ace of Spies) and
'If you could read my mind , love' by Gordon Lightfoot.

Fleetwood Mac when Peter Green was a member of the band in the early days.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to…

Oh Well


Edit: Found a better full version.
