It was very emotional. I thought to myself that Eva would love the way they put the video together with her song. It was presented as a lesson that one must practice again and again and again to achieve the kind of mastery that Michelle and Eva did. I have, for several years, been trying to turn my best friend on to the music of Eva. Where I failed, the presenter succeeded. Eva, in her quiet ways is everywhere. August 9? I was initially pleased, thinking that everyone who rang them would hear it and her artistry would spread, but on the other hand it does seem a fairly superficial use and hardly worthy of her music.
As the credits rolled at the end, guess what…. It was a programme about the journey to Croke Park, which begins at primary school, and the efforts of teachers, parents and children to fulfil that dream. To be fair, the sequence did end with a final shot of Mr Lee in… you guessed — a cornfield! I thought it was quite apt on this occasion. I told you 2 years ago that it is held every two years to raise money, mainly for Africa.
It was a moving film showing poverty and how children and adults have so little over there. They usually repeat these clips so she should get some more airplay. March 6, Pat in the UK sent me this one a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post it until now! Quite a bit of the song was played as people danced….
One scene was in a large office full of young ladies performing various tasks with exaggerated efficiency. They then introduced background music of Eva singing Songbird.
One by one they girls started wiping tears from their eyes, and eventually all were weeping uncontrollably, banging on desks, rolling on the floor, etc. Possibly not entirely respectful to Eva, but she is still among us! In the afternoon I was watching the prestigious Benson and Hedges snooker tournament from Wembley, London. They profiled various players, including up-and-coming Steven Lee, whom they interviewed against a backdrop of cornfields, to the accompaniment of Eva singing FOG, sometimes at full volume.
It was underscoring a scene of two people in a dimly lit room. I got so excited that I had to write. The show should be on next Saturday night at Eastern Time.
Television people are crazy! October Another television soundtrack! Steve in York spotted this one. To cut a long story short, the intended bride got cold feet at the last minute so rather than waste the wedding preparations, two of the guests hurriedly decided to get married instead … as usually happens! OTR was audible as background music just before the ceremony commenced, with our two last minute heroes simpering at each other.
At last and for the first time she has been heard on TV in Sweden! It featured clips of all the highs and lows of the campaign while Eva sang in the background. There will be several charities benefiting from cash donated. It is very touching. The fireworks were broadcast as part of the local coverage of the holiday.
Hope it generates more fans. There are also other celebrities offering their time to compete in other sporting events, and other things, such as auctions for famous items. Whilst watching this, a report of a child in poverty came on, as many do over the night, as an example of how the money raised by the tele-thon would improve his life.
The ten year old child was somewhere in the Middle East, and was being forced to work 10 hours a day in a very dangerous and tiring atmosphere, earning only 50 pence a day roughly 1 dollar I guess!
A voiceover pointed out that this child would be stuck doing this job, probably for the rest of his life. How ironic that this particular song was played in this situation- as if saying that somewhere over the rainbow, this poor child would be saved by the money raised. Not only this, but how great Eva was played, and to such a large viewing audience! Well done to your lads, beating much fancied Portugal The clip used featured scenes from both games, and OTR was played over the top of it.
We won and Beckham scored! Told you we would. Talk about chills going up your spine when I heard the first couple of bars and realized what they were doing.
Ok… there is another broad spectrum of listeners they have just reached. I was curious to know more about the campaign, and asked Gary if he could get me a couple of screen shots.

The soundtrack, much like the film, is a cup of hot chocolate on a rainy day: comforting, inviting, and invoking the same warm fuzzies you might get when looking at a newly decorated tree or snuggling in front of a fire with your special someone.
And perhaps most importantly, the songs will remind you of pieces of your own life, and everything that's gotten you from one holiday season to the next. Vocalists with lush, sultry delivery do a lot of emotional heavy lifting within the film, often with just a few bars of music. Here's a full run-down:. It's a song about longing for someone you might not be able to have, and everyone can relate to that.
It's an easy reminder of every first kiss you've ever had. This song is the score to one of the most truly devastating scenes of the film, in which Karen Emma Thompson realizes her husband is almost certainly cheating on her. The song calls into question whether we really know what love is, and sounds like a mournful ballad.
