One of the things I admire about Emmylou Harris is, she started going grey sometime in her early 30s - if not sooner - and rather than cover it up just said "this is who I am.".

Somewhere over the Rainbow - Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole
"Iz" or "Bruddah Iz" was a popular Hawaiian singer of contemporary and traditional Hawaiian songs. His best selling album of Hawaiian music was Facing Future and was popular world wide. He was named "Voice of Hawaii" in 2010 by NPR. He was also a Hawaiian rights activist, promoting Hawaiian independence through his music and political activism. He died in 1997 at age 38 due to complications of chronic obesity.
I think Elgar would have approved - other than J S Bach, and in a very different way, I think Elgar was the composer who made most of the cello - here's Sheku in what is surely the greatest concerto for the instrument:

It does depress me that we lost Tom Rapp, singer and songwriter with a slight lisp, gentle voice and apocalyptic vision, who helped make his band "Pearls Before Swine" a cult favorite, three years ago. But he left so many great songs. This one has gotten me through many a bad time.

For once, I think the hype around this young man is pretty much justified.

Has anyone here seen the movie "Cold War?" This clip really makes me want to see it.
A mature Bob Dylan with a gentle love song that comforts me no end.
"If I had the wings of a snow-white dove
I'd preach the gospel, the gospel of love
A love so real, a love so true
I've made up my mind to give myself to you."

A beautiful post. I dug out the headphones for this one!!!

As uplifting as it gets. Just lay back and listen to some fun music!
Oh, come a little closer to my breast,
I'll tell you that you're the one I really love the best,
And you don't have to worry about any of the rest,
'Cause everything's fine right now.

A great love song about a strong woman who may not be all that strong.
My love she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire
People carry roses
And make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall
Some speak of the future
My love she speaks softly
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all
The cloak and dagger dangles
Madams light the candles
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even a pawn must hold a grudge
Statues made of match sticks
Crumble into one another
My love winks, she does not bother
She knows too much to argue or to judge
The bridge at midnight trembles
The country doctor rambles
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring
The wind howls like a hammer
The night blows cold and rainy
My love she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing
A great love song about a strong woman who may not be all that strong.
My love she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire
People carry roses
And make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall
Some speak of the future
My love she speaks softly
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all
The cloak and dagger dangles
Madams light the candles
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even a pawn must hold a grudge
Statues made of match sticks
Crumble into one another
My love winks, she does not bother
She knows too much to argue or to judge
The bridge at midnight trembles
The country doctor rambles
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring
The wind howls like a hammer
The night blows cold and rainy
My love she's like some raven

You all may not have remarked it yet but there is happening something in Sweden which seems to have the quality of travelling in a time machine:
After 40 years, ABBA really started its virtual comeback and for me as an ABBA-fan it is like witnessing a fairy-tale. There are comments from fans below these videos which can make the reader's cry and the reaction even of my mother who soon will be 90 years old is almost like in this comment:
"My grandmother has dementia and can’t remember the past. When that song was on the radio, she immediately knew it was ABBA. This band is unique. My grandma had tears in her eyes and felt like she had been taken back to the 70s. It was nice to see her so happy.
Greetings from Germany"
And this music and these videos are really like watching in joy and happiness an old friend coming back after 40 years. I would never have expected such emotional feelings for myself by listening to this music and seeing such reactions from old fans:

So, Morning doesn't always bring every good gift.
Sometimes you get up only to find shit on the floor
You spend your first minutes and hours
cleaning up the disgusting mess from the night before
and with a horrendous hang-over to add joy to the task.
But you are up.
You have a new day before you
A day you've never lived before
Nor will ever live again.
And, in that day there are people
People who care for you
And will rejoice in your company.
Live the new shitty day to the full!
Great!
And here is a piece of music that I've found forever uplifting. Maybe someone will like it here.
I heard it for the first time in 1996 in Schloss Ebersbrunn in Thuringia on the newly reconstructed Silbermann Church organ, unforgettable!
