    'The Wonder of You' - Elvis Presley ( with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra )
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIDyNfJzLd8

    The Wonder of You
    Elvis Presley
    Oh oh oh
    When no one else can understand me
    When everything I do is wrong
    You give me hope and consolation
    You give me strength to carry on
    And you're always there
    To lend a hand in everything I do

    That's the wonder
    The wonder of you
    (Wonder of you)

    And when you smile, the world is brighter
    You touch my hand, and I'm a king
    Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
    Your love for me is everything

    I guess I'll never know
    The reason why
    You love me as you do
    That's the wonder
    The wonder of you

    Oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh

    I guess I'll never know the reason why
    You love me as you do
    That's the wonder
    The wonder of you

    Lyrics:
    Wind of Change
    Scorpions
    I follow the Moskva
    Down to Gorky Park
    Listening to the wind of change

    An August summer night
    Soldiers passing by
    Listening to the wind of change

    The world is closing in
    Did you ever think
    That we could be so close, like brothers?

    The future's in the air
    Can feel it everywhere
    I'm blowing with the wind of change

    Take me to the magic of the moment

    On a glory night
    Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
    In the wind of change

    Walking down the street
    Distant memories
    Are buried in the past forever

    I follow the Moskva
    Down to Gorky Park
    Listening to the wind of change
    Take me to the magic of the moment
    On a glory night (a glory night)
    Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
    In the wind of change (the wind of change)

    The wind of change blows straight
    Into the face of time
    Like a storm wind that will ring
    The freedom bell for peace of mind
    Let your balalaika sing
    What my guitar wants to say

    Take me to the magic of the moment
    On a glory night (a glory night)
    Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
    In the wind of change (the wind of change)

    Songwriters: Klaus Meine

    In German:

    Ich folge der Moskva
    Runter zum Gorky Park
    Dem Wind der Veränderung lauschend

    Eine Sommernacht im August
    Soldaten marschieren vorbei
    Dem Wind der Veränderung lauschend

    Die Welt wird kleiner
    Und hast du je gedacht
    Dass wir so nahe sein könnten, wie Brüder?

    Die Zukunft liegt in der Luft
    Ich kann sie fühlen, überall
    Sie weht mit dem Wind der Veränderung

    Bring mich zu der Magie des Moments
    In einer glorreichen Nacht
    Wo die Kinder von Morgen vor sich hinträumen
    Im Wind der Veränderung

    Laufe die Straße hinunter
    Und ferne Erinnerungen
    Sind für immer in der Vergangenheit begraben


    Ich folge der Moskva
    Runter zum Gorky Park
    Dem Wind der Veränderung lauschend

    Bring mich zu der Magie des Moments
    In einer glorreichen Nacht
    Wo die Kinder von Morgen ihre Träume teilen
    Mit dir und mir

    Bring mich zu der Magie des Moments
    In einer glorreichen Nacht
    Wo die Kinder von Morgen vor sich hinträumen
    Im Wind der Veränderung

    Der Wind der Veränderung bläst geradewegs
    Ins Gesicht der Zeit
    Wie ein Sturm, der
    Die Freiheitsglocke für den Frieden der Gedanken läuten wird
    Lass deine Balalaika singen
    Was meine Gitarre sagen will.

    Bring mich zu der Magie des Moments
    In einer glorreichen Nacht
    Wo die Kinder von Morgen ihre Träume teilen
    Mit dir und mir


    Bring mich zu der Magie des Moments
    In einer glorreichen Nacht
    Wo die Kinder von Morgen vor sich hinträumen
    Im Wind der Veränderung

    'Break Away' - the Beach Boys (1969)

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iYATuYflXfQ


    Break break shake away, break breakaway
    Now I'm free to do what I want to do

    Time will not wait for me, time is my destiny
    Why change the part of me that has to be free
    The love that passed me by, I found no reason why

    But now each day is filled with the love, that very same love
    That passed me by and that is why
    I can breakaway from that lonely life
    And I can do what I want to do
    And breakaway from that empty life and my world is new

    When I laid down on my bed I heard voices in my head
    Telling me now hey it's only a dream
    The more I thought of it I had been out of it
    And here's the answer I found instead
    (Baby baby) found out it was in my head (baby baby)
    (Baby baby) found out it was my head (baby baby)
    (Baby baby) found out it was in my head (baby baby)…

    'Love Is In The Air' - John Paul Young (1978)

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NNC0kIzM1Fo

    Love is in the air
    Everywhere I look around
    Love is in the air
    Every sight and every sound

    And I don't know if I'm being foolish
    Don't know if I'm being wise
    But it's something that I must believe in
    And it's there when I look in your eyes

    Love is in the air
    In the whisper of the trees
    Love is in the air
    In the thunder of the sea

    And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
    Don't know if I feel sane
    But it's something that I must believe in
    And it's there when you call out my name

    (Chorus)
    Love is in the air
    Love is in the air
    Oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh

    Love is in the air
    In the rising of the sun
    Love is in the air
    When the day is nearly done

    And I don't know if you're an illusion
    Don't know if I see it true
    But you're something that I must believe in
    And you're there when I reach out for you

    Love is in the air
    Every sight and every sound
    And I don't know if I'm being foolish
    Don't know if I'm being wise

    But it's something that I must believe in
    And it's there when I look in your eyes

    Controversy ensued when the group admitted they had not played on the record, but that all the work was done by session musicians, although such a practice had long since been common.[2] 

    Their first recording of the song, produced by Muff Winwood, had featured them playing all the instruments.[3] But the record label rejected this version in favour of one produced by Mike Smith, recorded with a recording studio rhythm section, strings, brass, flutes and backing vocalists, arranged by Keith Mansfield[3] – and Ellis as the only member of the group to be heard.[4] 

    The backing vocals were provided by four female singers who became well known in their own right: Kiki Dee, Madeline Bell, Lesley Duncan and Kay Garner (as one of the Ladybirds)
    . The bass part was played by Russ Stableford and Clem Cattini played drums.

    I'm probably "young" for TPF, but the older I get, the harder it is for me to find music that astounds me. This record makes the cut. I'm also a big Pharoah fan.

    Young, medium and older; we can all do our thing on here, no ?

    I don't really look for 'music that astounds me' - I don't even have that much of a high standard.

    The archives start in 1942 !

    I love listening to the stories behind the choices made. Not so keen on just seeing 'lists' of songs or books read. Although they can reveal something about the chooser...probably why I was initially wary of sharing...standing alone, they don't tell the full story. Nothing ever does...but a glimpse and a gleaning.

    I have started wondering just how much our brain or behaviour patterns are formed by what we listen to when very young. The religious music, the Christmas carols...the pop and rock...the jangly bits that drive us...the soothing tones that calm us.
    Music through the ages for all ages...teens, twenties...30s,40s,50s,60s,70s...2020s, the ancient.
    There is a time for everything. Pages to turn...threads to get tangled up in :cool:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BboMpayJomw

    I should have known
    I'd leave alone
    Just goes to show
    That the blood you bleed
    Is just the blood you owe

    We were a pair
    But I saw you there
    Too much to bear
    You were my life, but life is far away from fair

    Was I stupid to love you?
    Was I reckless to help?
    Was it obvious to everybody else?

    That I'd fallen for a lie
    You were never on my side
    Fool me once, fool me twice
    Are you death or paradise?
    Now you'll never see me cry
    There's just no time to die

    I let it burn
    You're no longer my concern
    Faces from my past return
    Another lesson yet to learn

    That I'd fallen for a lie
    You were never on my side
    Fool me once, fool me twice
    Are you death or paradise?
    Now you'll never see me cry
    There's just no time to die

    No time to die, mmm
    No time to die, ooh

    Fool me once, fool me twice
    Are you death or paradise?
    Now you'll never see me cry
    There's just no time to die

    After the dream of falling and calling your name out
    These are the roots of rhythm
