Ah Rose, moving. So you need the saddest goodbye leaving song ever.

If you watched the series Northern Exposure, you'll remember the song over the final scenes. It took me a couple of years to track it down for my mum, whose heart it touched. This is that version with the video:

and this is Iris Dement doing it in a duo with Emmylou Harris:

Oh, only moving 8 miles. Well, that's alright, it'll still make you snivel. ;)

Buffy Ste Marie is an acquired taste.

But then so is Iris Dement. ;)

In ref to the title.......

I've got a brand new combine harvester. lol :o)))

JaneyCanuck

JaneyCanuck Report 30 Oct 2010 23:33

Penfold, catch up. ;)

We've done combine harvesters. We're down to weepy things now!

JaneyCanuck

JaneyCanuck Report 30 Oct 2010 23:39

And if I don't get out of the weepy things soon, I'm going to go hunt up Vincent Black Lightning 1952 and snivel about my lost, er, middle age ...

Well, it ain't No.2, but it is the guy who wrote it.

I like your mum Janey :)

It may be only an 8 mile move, but it's a million miles from where I once hoped I would be. My heart will remain 'just round the corner' from where I am sitting now, and when I go it will be a further step away from what I love most.

( oh all right that's a bit 'drama queen' ...but not so far from the truth lol)

Oh, enough wallowing then! Fortunately, Willie isn't my fave, so I remain untouched. ;) Vincent just sent me into the abyss, though ...

Hi Janey

Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrpGE9KJ21g

Melanie at the Isle of Wight festival this year, interspersed with clips of her in her youth. Scary to think that I was there this year, and have probably aged this much too.......

Whatever, she was a class act still

JaneyCanuck Report 31 Oct 2010 01:53

Heh. Look what they've done to my ... face, ma. ;)

Melanie and I have aged rather similarly, I must say! I have a lot less of that white around the face, still ... but it's been in need of a touchup for a couple of weeks now ...

Nice new monitor or no -- I still have an error message instead of an inbox. Who's PMing me?!? Aha, it's on its 4th reload, and I think it did.

Argh. Just somebody wanting me to solve an insoluble TTF problem.


edit, two hours later ... I did!

No ... that was just me sending you secret audio messages through your fillings.

Bwahahaha. It's Hallowe'en! and I'm about to go home (it's 5:30 pm here, just starting to get dark) and do the shelling out, since No.1 is in a foul mood about it this year for some reason.

Sylvia -- that youtube I linked to was ooold Ian and Sylvia, wasn't it??

SueMaid. You check it out and see whether you don't want to worship at my feet.
