Both have such haunting melodies regardless of the words.

Some songs survive the test of time.<br /><br />"Unchained Melody" (Hatfield) was my husband's favorite. But I will stick to Aretha Franklin's "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face". I wonder what people will think of those songs a few hundred years from now? <br /><br />But if we back up in time I can think of a few dozen - "Danny Boy". Music is part of our lives and probably it has been since man has learned to pick up a stick and beat on something.<br /><br />Must go listen to a few favorites.E.

Then reading your blog about Greensleeves and POW! I went and searched lyric versions and found the right set. THANK YOU! And my favorite song is Unchained Melody. Love Bobby Hatfield's version the best, but Leanne Rimes did an incredible version of it when she was ten. I'm trying to remember the name of another singer from back quite a few years who does an incredible version of it and he's also an amazing Elvis impersonator. Now I'll have to go find him. I always enjoy your posts, Kaye.Elizabeth Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553904624219542353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-42656414692015005732018-11-16T21:44:09.994-06:002018-11-16T21:44:09.994-06:00Sarah,

I am not musically talented other than I can play a harmonica, and I can carry a tune (but nothing to brag about). Music plays at my house more hours during the day than not. <br /><br />Thanks so much for commenting.Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-87020832092900670202018-11-16T20:18:23.500-06:002018-11-16T20:18:23.500-06:00That was such an interesting piece, Kaye.

It is also one of my favorites, too. I can play it on the violin even now (so ya know it isn't too hard to play. LOL)<br /><br />I love music. I especially like music that has meaning for me. "Silent Night" a standard and beautiful song of Christmas brings back memories of my childhood, "Here Comes The Sun" by the Beatles lifts my spirits, and "Where Are You Now" by Enya is haunting and beautiful and makes me sad. <br /><br />I loved your post, Kaye.Sarah J.

I have to say, I don't like Marty's Ribbon of Darkness as well as Gordon Lightfoot's original. But I think a lot of that is we're used to hearing the original and don't want anyone messing with it.<br />Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-66228851256709873662018-11-16T12:10:27.954-06:002018-11-16T12:10:27.954-06:00Whew!

The Righteous Brothers' version is my favorite too, and it pains me to admit this (especially to you) that their rendition is better than Marty Robbins'.

And...I have not read the book, so yes, I must remedy. <br /><br />Greensleeves was my dad's favorite song. He'd just come in out of the blue and ask me to play it for him on the piano. <br /><br />I think my favorite (do we have to just pick one?) of all time would have to be Unchained Melody--but ONLY the Righteous Brothers version. Bobby Hatfield...that man singing that song just evokes so much emotion. I did not realize that this song was actually written for a movie called Unchained. Now I want to go see if I can find that!Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
