I always play this song when I'm sad or I've been hurt.

Another version, this time by Neil Diamond

I Think It's Going To Rain Today

here are the lyrics again


Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

I think my presence on here is upsetting some of our more insecure members who would like the attention solely on focussed on themselves so I'll leave them to enjoy the limelight they obviously need and crave from others.

Chat to you later Jack and thank you again.

Here is a nice cover version from Marcia Hines of Donald Fagen's What A Beautiful World:

Yes another prediction of mine came true. Logs in when I do or very soon after and thinks others don't notice, posts whenever I post, copies and mimics my comments to others and tries to pass them off as their own and highjacks everything I say and do. Follows my friends around on here too (sorry that I actually know people on here in real life, not sure what you expect).

Downright creepy and inappropriate. I really wish they would get a life of their own and stop highjacking mine. No sense of independence or a mind or opinion of their own.

This is a wonderful cover of a song I have always loved I still remember the 1st time I heard this song in the car with my Daughters Mother The opening verse so powerful and one that I could relate to instantly had me hooked some of the other verses also just as powerful the lyrics are beneath This is a cover of The Special Two This might be my last post for a little while. Time to spend the weekend with the family and appreciate the good things in life that I have Have a good weekend people

I've hardly been outside my room in days
'Cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away
And it was then I realize the conscience never fades
When you're young you have this image of your life
That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross
And if you happen to you wake completely lost
But I will fight for you, be sure that I will fight
Until we're the special two once again
And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together
Our hands would not be taught to hold another's
'Cause we're the special two
And we can only see each other, we'll breathe together
These arms will not be taught to need another's
'Cause we're the special two
I remember someone old once said to me
That lies will lock you up with truth the only key
I was comfortable and warm inside my shell
And couldn't see this place could soon become my hell
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Well, my guess the answer is don't do it in the first place
I know, I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now
But if by chance you change your mind
You know I will not let you down
'Cause we were the special two and will be again
And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together
Our hands would not be taught to hold another's
'Cause we're the special two
And we can only see each other, we'll breathe together
These arms will not be taught to need another's
We're the special two
I step outside my mind's eyes for a minute
And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease
Or something that could ease the pain
But nothing cures the hurt, you, you bring on boy yourself
Just remembering, just remembering how we were
And we would only need each other, we'd bleed together
These hands would not be taught to hold another's
We were the special two
And we could only see each other, we'd bleed together
These arms would not be taught to need another's
'Cause we're the special two

Thanks for keeping my thread going.

This lovely one just came up on my shuffle. This is Michael Buble covering At This Moment by Billy Vera and The Beaters. I fell in love with this song because of a poignant moment in Family Ties with Michael J Fox and his now wife Tracy...so beautiful..

Couple of solid covers of Yuzurenai Negai... one of my favourites as I'm a fan of the Sega Saturn game.

Believe it or not I'm in the crowd for the second one.

This is a wonderful thread Why only last night when we were out at dinner for my Daughters Birthday I was talking music to one of her mates I must say for a young teenage girl she had outstanding taste in music ( young girl but an old soul music wise) in the end we got talking about cover songs and I used this thread to steer her to some great covers The joys of music have no bounds

I will survive - Cake I was told last night Gloria Gaynoy was highly offended by this cover thinking they took the piss out of the song.
