I remember Tie a Yellow Ribbon so well, and my nan used to sing Mairzy Doats.

And that Fool on The Hill was punchy, man!

Anyway, I'm a melancholic fool.

Must be my human half.

So I'm listening to Smooth on my digital radio, mostly.

They play the Carpenters.

Dear Karen had the most beautiful, sweet, melancholic voice.

So check these out if you like.

Don't mention track 20.

^ HoL, the songs in the two videos you posted above are in the same key. Sometimes, things like that just happen without being managed to occur. Just saying.

[Allegro]

< A Sea Symphony, The Waves | Vaughan Williams

A Sea Symphony is a piece for orchestra and chorus by Ralph Vaughan Williams, written between 1903 and 1909. Vaughan Williams’ first and longest symphony, it was first performed at the Leeds Festival in 1910, with the composer conducting. The symphony’s maturity belies the composer’s relative youth when it was written (he was 30 when he first began sketching it). One of the first symphonies in which a choir is used throughout the work and is an integral part of the musical texture, A Sea Symphony helped set the stage for a new era of symphonic and choral music in England during the first half of the 20th century. The work is sometimes referred to as the Symphony No. 1.
