Favourite Song on 'Above The Cosmos'

[Jade]

I know they're all genuinely great and it's hard to choose only one... anyway...

[littlesnowflake]

and they all belong together... it's a tough choice, but I voted for Abdicate

[Jade]

I voted 'Happy Hour' (sure you guessed it as it's only the two of us so far )

What's your least favourite???

I think I'd go for 'When the lights go out', even though I still like it... I think it's the most daring on the album...

[littlesnowflake]

I can't choose one, they are all brilliant sorry

[loraline]

My vote is for 'Walking on Broadway' simply because for me that is a song of survival

The first time I visited NY was a little over 11 years ago, when I had just left hospital recovering from a coma. Walking in NY, the lights of Broadway, celebrating being alive made me walk on clouds that week

When in 2001 the Towers crashed, my own life was falling apart as well.. Golans story, it could have been me writing that... It took me over a year, but I picked up the pieces and again, survived

Last april, visiting NY a second time, I felt life flowing through my veins, walking Broadway, visiting the crash site, simple euphoria that I can deal with anything that comes my way and still be strong and survive

[Jade]

So sorry, loraline, to hear what you went through.

"simple euphoria that I can deal with anything that comes my way and still be strong and survive" - loving that line... and it's great that John's music has helped you so much to get over the really bad things that have happened in your life.

Sending you (((HUGS))) and some Karma
J. xx

thnx for the karma and bad is relative, looking back at things, I feel that everything helped me become the person I am today there is strength in believing in yourself, no matter how deep you have to dig to get to the heart of that self-confidence...

[littlesnowflake]

aww Loraline! You're so gifted with words ((((Hugs)))) to you
xx

[loraline]

/me loraline hugs flakie

loraline thinks Flakie is good with words too

[Queen G]

*thinks you both are angels and is giving Karma to both of you*

I agree, this is a very hard choice....I look at this list and say 'oh yeah, that's my favourite' and then move down the list and say 'oh no, THAT'S my favourite' and so on and so on.

I had to go with Abdicate because that's the first one I go to whenever I play this CD, and I just truly can not get enough of it.

[littlesnowflake]

*hugs Gena and sends her some Karma back* aww I know that Abdicate phenomenon, the song is on replay mode all the time... on my mobile phone, in my head... everywhere ;D

Well, since I live 35 miles from NYC...and my car was covered with ash the day of and after 9-11, Walking on Broadway ranks up there.

Loraline...if you ever need a break, I have a spare room, and live close enough to NYC, but far enough to get a break!

[loraline]

lol should have known you when I was there last april... lol we could have gone to Rockwood together instead of each on our own... oh well, if you ever get to Europe, just let me know and I'll make sure to clean up my study so you can stay here too

and what's with the voting?? carousel gets a vote, but nobody mentions that one? did you click the wrong one, Ellen? if so, you can rectract your vote and vote again *wink*

[link15]

LOL..I retracted it, and the vote for carousel is still there! I voted for "Never far from me"....that one gets me every time.

[nicola]

oh thats a tough one!! but its got 2 be 'when the lights go out' but 'Abdicate' is a VERY close 2nd!
