'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.

'Girls and Boys' - by Amesbury School, in memory of Sebastian English

'Ghost' - by Cross The Border, in memory of Scott Nicol
Stuart Nicol sings in the band Cross The Border and sent in this song in memory of his brother Scott, who died suddenly in September 2009 aged just 19.

The audio link (above) is a rough demo version of the song, whilst the video link (left) shows the band playing the song live at 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 songs that 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).
