    I posted on the music thread but should have started a new one. For many of us words fail us but music can speak for us. As a Christian I have posted some songs reflecting that and I hope no one will be offended.

    I don't know Trevor's favourite music but if anyone wants to compile music for him, or music that reflects how you feel today...

    Maybe it's a little thing that may give him comfort.

    I will repost my songs:

    Rod Stewart/Jeff Beck: People get Ready: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHnrErEGs7k&mode=related&search=

    Curtis Mayfield, People get Ready: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQqTxK7VhSk

    Eric Clapton, Tears in Heaven: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRsJlAJvOSM

    In the end Love for each other is all that matters.

    Bob Marley, One Love: Bob Marley, One Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4fqqUQhx6k&mode=related&search=

    My LOVE and Maybe Im Amazed by Paul McCartney

    Pauls songs for his Linda that he lost

    And when i go away
    I know my heart can stay with my love , it's understood
    It's in the hands of my love , and my love does it good
    Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

    And when the cupboards bare
    I'll still find something there with my love
    It's understood , it's everywhere with my love
    And my love does it good

    Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

    Oh I love oh wo......my love
    Only my love holds the other key to me
    Oh....my love oh...my love
    Only my love does it good to me


    Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

    Don't ever ask me why , i never say goodbye to my love
    It's understood , it's everywhere with my love
    And my love does it good

    Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

    Oh I love oh wo......my love
    Only my love does it good to me
    Woooooooooooooh

    Baby Im amazed at the way you love me all the time
    Maybe Im afraid of the way I love you
    Baby Im amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
    Hung me on a line
    Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you

    Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
    Whos in the middle of something
    That he dosent really understand
    Babe Im a man and maybe youre the only woman
    Who could ever help me
    Baby wont you help to me understand


    Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
    Whos in the middle of something
    That he dosent really understand
    Babe Im a man and maybe youre the only woman
    Who could ever help me
    Baby wont you help me understand

    Baby Im amazed at the way youre with me all the time
    Maybe Im afraid of the way I leave you
    Baby Im amazed at the way you help me sing my song
    You right me when Im wrong
    Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you

    purps: Your song reminds me of John Lennon's Woman.

    Today I'm very reflective, as I'm sure many are. I lost my brother-in-law and grandmother to cancer and lost my dad to heart failure a few years ago. I will not compare my loss to Trevor's but I know a little bit about what he's going through right now.

    Trev's home now, and his favourite music is Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin, though he has a wide taste. This track is one of his favourites, and it's something he helped Linda, Julie and myself to hear

    He asked me to post this, one of Linda's favourites, by Natalie Merchant

    Vince Gill "Go Rest High On the Mountain"
    I know your life
    On Earth was troubled
    And only you could Know the pain
    You werent afraid to face the Devil
    You were no stranger to the rain

    Go rest high on the mountain
    Lyn your work on earth is done
    Go to heaven shouting
    Love for the Father & the Son

    Oh how we cried the day you left us
    We gathered round your grave in grief
    I wish I could see the Angles faces
    When they hear your sweet voice sing.

    GO LINDA !!!!! we will meet again. Mouthy

    Here is a prayer written by Enya.

    She describes it this way with words to the song to follow.

    At times we ask for extraodinary things to happen in our lives and somehow, deep down, we believe they they will. Someone, somewhere, may have the power to help us - a Guardian Angel perhaps, some spiritual minder, a protector from life's darker moments.

    Such a belief can be a comfort in life, an easy relationship with a world beyond our own. A gentle hand on your shoulder to guide you through, though not away from the harder times.

    (The above was taken from her Shepherd Moons music for the piano)

    Angeles

    Angels, answer me,
    Are you near if rain should fall?
    Am I to believe
    You will rise to calm the storm?
    For so great a treasure words will never do.
    Surely, if this is, promises are mine to give you.
    Mine to give...

    Here, all too soon the day!
    Wish the moon to fall and alter tomorrow.
    I should know
    Heaven has her way
    - each one given memories to own.

    Angeles, all could be
    Should you move both earth and sea
    Angeles, I could feel
    All those dark clouds disappearing...

    Even, as I breathe
    Comes an angel to their keep.
    Surely, if this is
    Promises are mine to give you.
    Mine to give...
