'In
Omnibus Rebus (Everywhere)' - in memory of Amy Black
Amy Black - opera singer of international renown - died suddenly
in November 2009, aged 36. This song has kindly been
provided to raise funds and awareness for CRY, in memory of Amy. The English translation is as follows:
In every little
flower, in every drop of dew, in the soft morning dawn, your
perfect hand is there.
In the moon, in the
water, in the sun and in the earth your infinite love, in the
moon, in the water, in the sun and in the earth your gentle
spirit lives.
In the pure voice
of a child, in the strong love of a mother, in the warm fire of
the evening, your perfect hand is there.
In the moon, in the
water, in the sun and in the earth your infinite love, in the
moon, in the water, in the sun and in the earth your gentle
spirit lives.
In every little
flower, in the pure voice of a child, in the strong love of a
mother, your gentle spirit lives.

the Spratton Folk Festival.
'Sail My Ship Home' - by Thomas Shackleton Thomas was a great musician
who played the guitar and could make a tune on any instrument.
This was one of his songsthat we played at his funeral - and on his
gravestone we have a guitar engraved into the marble with the words “Sail my
ship home”.
Thomas was the
singer in a band called the "Slow Emotion” but this was a song he wrote and
performed by himself. We are so very fortunate to have Thomas’ music and to
hear his voice seems to bring him to life.
'Girl' - by James Poynton James Poynton wrote the words for
'Girl' when he was 8 years old. Just before his 12th birthday, James
died suddenly of an undiagnosed heart condition.
Whilst he was alive, James asked his
friend Barry Waring to set the words to music. Barry did
so, and subsequently was honoured to be asked to play the
finished song at James' funeral. The song has now been recorded under
the band name Daywalker (Barry Waring
and Dave Robinson perform the track).
