Is Rachel intending to put the lyrics back up. I really miss being able to listen to all the little clips and checking all the lyrics.

Last I heard she was. It was just all taking time.

OK I'll just keep checking.

I do too. When you're not quite certain about a lyric that pops into your head, it ws nice to be able to check it out.

There are lyrics which are very close in sound but are very different in the way they're used in very different songs. That's why I sometimes struggle on a few of our lyric threads although I play Darius's music just as often as ever.

I know. When one just pops into your mind you wonder if you've got it absolutely right - or the version becomes one you yell out while your singing (it's OK, I'm always alone, so no one else suffers)

I always try to sing any lyric I'm stuck with out loud. It's my primary technique.

You must have a much better voice than I have. I have to be careful if anyone's around.

The difference is, I just don't care.

I really don't want to upset people unnessarily. I was 5 when I was first told to shut up at school.

your in good company , I was in church when I was told by my brother and mother I couldn't sing.

 

I do think it was totally out of order for a teacher to say that to you infront of the other children.

 

We've been scared for life.....perhaps we could sue

I have the lyrics on my site.

 

I can't sing either and rarely do unless I'm alone. I was told by a teacher that my story was rubbish and too far-fetched. She made me stay in at playtime to rewrite it. I wrote a really boring story which she found acceptable. After that, I didn't think I could write at all.

Everyone can sing, some better than others I admit. Everyone has a right to express themselves and no one should take that away from them. If they go in for something like X factor then they really must secretly want problems.

I know I'm not a good singer but I can hit notes on familiar hymns and tunes, so I get by. I'm OK if those around me are singing the same thing. I was in my school choirs and we even won a couple of classes at music festivals, but I'm not good enough to harmonise and stick to my bit if the person beside or behind me is doing something different.

 

I couldn't get through one day without music and that incudes me singing snatches of all kinds of songs or lallala ing classical or instrumental pieces. I try not to do the latter when I'm in company.

My mum is great at la la laing. You couldn't hold a candle to her. I learned the words of 'Winter Wondeland' fro her. It goes do do do my sunbird do do do la, la la and so one. Don't you wish you'f had my tuition. By the way, she can sing well, just as she's got older, she often gets the wrong tune of, the wrong words, or both. Makes me smile though. She is lovely.

My Gran was a great singer - she used to sing mostly hymns and Moodey and Sankey choruses while she worked around the house. I loved listening to her. My father rarely sang other than in church, but he played violin, piano and banjo and we sang a lot as a family when I was young. He could play practically anything by ear.

My Dad really couldn't sing. I've never heard anyone worse than him but, he still sang to us and I don't think anyone ever mentioned just how bad it sounded. It was still a sign of happiness and made us all happy.

I can't imagine a world without music and laughter and I'm so grateful I had plenty of both in my childhood.

I always had to listen to 'Sing Somehing Simple' and Frank Sinatra when I was a kid. Not exactly the things I've ever liked. One of Mum's friends collected Elvis since he first released records and I found the older ones of those really good.

Sing Something Simple! I'd forgotten about that. It was one of the most popular radio programmes and it went on for years, didn't it? What were the singers called......... Somebody Adams?
