Ms Marple Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thank you for introducing me to "Fields of Gold" I first heard of Eva Cassidy when a soloist sang "Songbird" at my cousin's wedding at the Thank you Mark for this thread. Glad you liked Fields of Gold - it always sends a shiver down my spine and as a fan of Sting I loved it. However, her ability to show so much emotion completely transforms the whole song. Penguinmad is correct in her reference to a cancer charity advert a few years back that used it - hauntingly so. Yes thanks Mark good to have you back and a great thread that got me thinking.

Egluntyne Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 And to think they nearly left it out of the Wizard of Oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Did you know that the tune for the 'one day I wish upon a star' bit came from how the writer used to whistle for his dog to come to him on the beach. A useless but interesting fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
