just ignore and let this one die

I wish I could sing well enough to perform in front of others. You knock 'em dead!

/me raises a glass in honor of Hera and Damien.. Warmest congratulations, you two. I know your marriage will only increase the joy you find in each other.

/me smiles and wipes a little tear of happiness.

Oh absolutely!!! That was my very first Leonard Cohen song

LOL...what I lack in talent, I make up for in perserverance

It's also fun trying to decide which one of the 9,217 versions of it I"m going to sing...or whether to incorporate pieces from each. That whole "Holy Dove" thing irritates me. Alison Crowe sings it Holy Ghost, which I think it the best choice of words, when you're talking about the near-religious experience of $ex.

Dear Allie and every one who has offered their congratulations- a heartfelt thank you from both of us.

It was a lovely ceremony and I want to tell you all what a special man is Damien. He took up building in order to make that beautiful arbor for us. He made the table and the cloth on it as well as various items used in our vows. He taught himself animations too and crafted us a beautiful evening.

When I tell you, my friends, how lucky I feel and how loved and cared for- you can be sure I am not even scratching the surface.

Amara is very fortunate in sharing her SL with so many good friends and the years here have been filled with love and laughter and yes, some tears. My life though, is only just begun.

Thank you all again for all the good wishes.

That's a fun song to sing.

One of these days, I keep telling myself I'll figure out how to hook up to streaming, and descend on an open mic night somewhere in SL. Haven't gotten the nerve up yet.

Holy smokes, I've heard this song before, but never knew who sang it. To whoever posted it first, thanks!!!! iTunes, here I come!

Oh, that would be cool Jer! And surely we'll all get an invite!

/me thinks back to Lindal's class

Hm...maybe not

Ahem.. Ladies and Gentlemen - The singing Jerboa!

Oh, and today's blog post is guaranteed to provide drama for months to come...

I have like six versions Youtube bookmarked!

If it's Hallelujah, try Bon Jovi's version

*snif* I've got to admit, Christians have good music. Almost makes me want to be one, just so I can sing along.

Thanks for the link. I think the biggest thing to take away from this is that LL is publicly "sanctioning" their adult user base. Which tells me that SL is not going to go (entirely) Disney. I know there are some who will find the changes unacceptable and leave, but I actually see this a as a positive development for residents, overall.

Here's my very favorite version:

Now we are all screwed


and not in a pleasant way

But only if they can figure out how to age verify correctly and make the damn thing actually work inworld.

They can never 100% age verify. That discussion has gone around and around enough already. But even flawed tools provide the common resident with some protection. Making it work inworld is a technical problem, at least. Bottom line though: this announcement could have gone very differently, and a lot worse, given LL's stated goals re. the teen grid.

Oh that was amazing. I'm sitting here in tears.

On retrospect, it doesn't seem to be a Christian song at all, really if you listen to the words. It's just a gorgeous tune. Thanks all, for reminding me of this!

I don't let that stop me I just sing anyway.

I'm still listening to it. I keep hitting replay.

Lovely. Hadn't heard that before.

My favourite is Jeff Buckley's album version from "Grace". Spine-tingling guitar on that as well.

mmmm...I think my dance card's open this evening.

Me too. I've listened to it 4 times now. It will send me to sweet dreams. Thanks, Kai. For some reason, this one speaks to me.

oooh!! I hope *someone* makes a recording for us to hear...
