I love this song - it may be old but the words and the melody and the key changes are uplifting and true..

First recorded in 1975 I think.
I bought this single track from Len's website, which is easy to find (cannot post links here I think).
All his albums are there, as whole albums and single tracks.
I very much recommend his book 'Coming Home,' which tells the story of how he was sent from the U.K., as a 6 year old child, to Australia (one of the Forgotten Children), and what happened after that - amazing story, very sad in parts, but uplifting as it goes on.
I wish I could have done a better job on the video, to honour such a lovely song. Had difficulty accessing a couple of the pictures after adding them to the Windows Movie Maker timeline, and they just flash on and off too quickly. They needed to be stretched out. Tried for ages then had to give up.
Anyway, I like most of it - the flow.
one of my favourite songs -
Desert Rose - breathing hope -
I think the album is from 1975 and had a couple of other tracks on it that I really liked.
This song helped me on my spiritual journey to be real, and be IN, and remain in, The Truth, (Jesus), which involves speaking, writing, truth as much as we can (which means we have to be careful (sometimes really checking) what we share, pass on, in written and spoken word).
Take my friends around;
Here among us make the place
Where your love is found.
2. Take the time to call my name,
Take the time to mend
Who I am and what I've been,
All I've failed to tend.
3. Take the tiredness of my days,
Take my past regret,
Letting your forgiveness touch
All I can't forget
4. Take the little child in me
Scared of growing old;
Help me here to find my worth
Made in God's own mould.
5. Take my talents, take my skills,
Take what's yet to be;
Let my life be yours, and yet
Let it still be me.
..wonderful words..
sung by an ex neighbour of ours who was in the Roger Jones musical [Pharisee] that this song is from.
All credit to her.
Thank you Rumer (Sarah) for the beautiful singing - hope you have a lovely Christmas.
Got to write a classic
Got to write it in an attic
Babe, I'm an addict now
An addict for your love
I was a stray boy
And you was my best toy
Found it easy to annoy you
But you were different from the rest
And I loved you all the wrong ways
Now listen to my say
If it changed to another way
Would the difference make it
Would it be a classic
I gotta send it right away
Got to write a classic
Got to write it in an attic
Babe, I'm an addict now
An addict for your love
Gotta write it down and send it right away
Got to write a classic
Got to write it in an attic
Babe, I'm an addict now
An addict for your love
Now I'm living my life
One day at a time
Since losing your love
I've been losing my mind
No more can I see
The future so clear
And it's not what I mean
I mean it's not what it seems
I just keep living for dreams
And it's not what I mean
I mean it's not what it seems
I just keep living for dreams
Got to write a classic
Got to write it in an attic
Babe, I'm an addict now
I'm an addict for your love
Gotta write it down and send it right away
Desert Rose - breathing hope -
It's hard for those of us born later to fully understand the way the War affected everything.
My mom was evacuated to strangers in the countryside to be away from our city being bombed.
People went without foods we take for granted now...
and worst of all, many many lives of loved ones were lost or damaged.
Many people know Joni was paralysed from the neck down in 1967 when she was only 17, but have been blessed by her singing and artwork, (done by mouth), as well as her speaking and writing.
By the way, this is the first video I've ever made, so it's not brilliant.
