"My Dearest Darling" #EttaJames #Darling #MusicVideo #DianaMarySharpton #LovingU #Together
Introduction:
“But I know this. We're ready to move forward again in our way. Together or apart, no matter how far apart, we live in one another. We go on together.”
― Ann Brashares
I am not sure if any of you remember the Jaguar commercial that was launched in 1995 but that was when I was introduced to Etta James with the song "My Dearest Darling"(1) and I fell in love with her music.
This songs speaks to my heart and I think about that special man. Lord, it's the moments in life that count.... at least that is how I see it!
I am including the lyrics below for your reading pleasure.
"My Dearest Darling"
Etta James
All I need
Is someone like you
My dearest darling
Please~love me to
Within my heart
I pray your answer's yes
I'll make your life
Full of happiness
I'll be there by your side
Oh,I pledge my love to you
With God as our guide..
Unh~my dearest darling
I offer you my heart
Oh, yeah whenever you need me
I'll..I'll be there by your side
Oh~I pledge my love to you
With God as our guide
Oh nothing, nothing, nothing in this world
Can keep us apart
Unh~ my dearest darling
I'm offering you my heart
Unh~my dearest darling...

Anyway, being a romantic, I thought it might be fun to listen to some hard core classic Soul, from back in the day, to just warm the heart tonight. This is where my mind is and always will be because I am forever lost in love.
Diana Mary Sharpton
Want u.... bring me some sunshine Sugar...
Peace Diana

"At Last"
Etta James
At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over and life is like a song, oh yeah
At last the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up clover the night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I've never known, oh yeah
You smiled, you smiled oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last

― Lebo Grand
The song that I am going to feature this evening is titled "Always Remember Us This Way"(2) and it's sung by a brilliant young talent Lauren Spencer-Smith. Born in Portsmouth, England, Lauren relocated to Vancouver, Canada and has settled in to a pop genre.
This particular song was her first single release in May of 2019. The video was published on Oct 25, 2019 and uploaded on YouTube by Lauren Spencer-Smith.
What a voice and it goes with that beautiful smile!
At little about the artist found on her website: https://www.laurenspencersmith.com/follow/
"There are few terms that can more accurately sum up Lauren Spencer Smith than ‘small but mighty.’ Behind that beautiful, 16-year-old exterior is a powerful voice cultivated over many years, ready to shake the world to its core.
Although she was born in Portsmouth, England, Lauren is a Canadian at heart. At just three years old, her family made their way to the True North, moving to Port Alberni on Vancouver Island. Her family was in no way musically-oriented, but Lauren was drawn to the call of music nonetheless.
At this early age, she was singing along to the radio constantly, memorizing the lyrics and growing her voice. Lauren would sing just about everywhere, including her elementary school bathroom… the acoustics, she claims, were nice!
Lauren’s school would also be one of her first platforms for performing. By age five, she involved herself in school talent shows as a singer, demonstrating to peers and teachers alike her confidence and capabilities. At age eight, her parents bought her a Hannah Montana karaoke machine which really allowed her to develop her craft at home. It was around this time that she had begun entering in singing competitions, uploading her performance to her YouTube channel for the world to see.
Lauren’s music tastes gravitate towards pop ballads, and more specifically, Adele. The artist has been her idol ever since Lauren first heard her during one of her many radio sing-alongs.
“Every single one of her songs is genuine,” said Lauren. “The way she performs is emotional and raw — she’s just herself. A lot of artists in this industry aren’t like that anymore, but with Adele, it’s usually just a piano and her voice. That’s the kind of singer I strive to be.”
Lauren’s early teen years began tumultuously as they so often do. Her upbringing taught her how to be independent at a young age, but she soon found herself working five days a week on top of school in order to help out around home. She was juggling news station interviews at night and newspaper interviews while on the city bus in-between her responsibilities — not to mention desperately trying to find time for her quickly developing music career.
2019 acted as a turning point for Lauren. A crucial moment came in the form of her first viral video on April 1 of that year. The karaoke machine from all those years ago cemented a love and talent for song covers, and the YouTube video of Lauren Spencer-Smith singing Lady Gaga’s Always Remember Us This Way in her dad’s car took the internet by storm. She now had the choice to either truly answer the call to music, or leave it behind as just another hobby.
It was then that Lauren Spencer-Smith made the decision to quit her job.
“Work was the biggest struggle throughout this time,” she said. “I think I was totally capable because of the way I grew up, but now that I don’t have a job, I get to be one hundred percent focused on my music — one hundred percent focused on what I really love to do.”
This newly-found focus allowed her to work quickly. On Nov. 19, 2019, Lauren released her hit single — her cover of Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi which soon went viral just like her video had. Both covers have reached millions of viewers and listeners as of today.
Outside of her music, Lauren is content just hanging out with her friends and catching a movie. She exudes a positive, high energy towards everyone she meets. Reflecting her small-town beginnings, she keeps Vancouver’s values alive in her unmistakable friendliness.
Lauren Spencer-Smith now lives in Nanaimo, B.C. with her mom, who she says is one of her greatest supporters. Encouraging her since day one, she is the one Lauren goes to for advice on what to wear, what to sing — she even helps out making videos!
When asked what she loves most about what she does, Lauren said it is hard to put into words.
“I love that my voice, my music, my performing has the ability to inspire others,” she said. “Whether it be that people just love the songs, or maybe they’re going through a personal issue, being able to lift spirits is indescribable. A lot of people message me saying, ‘Your music helped me get through this.’ I love that I can make people feel happy, encouraged and inspired!”"

"Always Remember Us This Way"
That Arizona sky burning in your eyes
You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire
It's buried in my soul like California gold
You found the light in me that I couldn't find
So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
Lovers in the night
Poets trying to write
We don't know how to rhyme
But, damn, we try
But all I really know
You're where I wanna go
The part of me that's you will never die
So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
Oh, yeah
I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah
When I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way, oh, yeah
When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us this way

#Ordinary #TheTalbottBrothers #MusicVideo #DianaMarySharpton #MyDesire #IsOne #U @Talbottbrothers
Introduction:
“I want to see the thirstinside the syllables
I want to touch the fire
in the sound:
I want to feel the darkness
of the cry. I want
words as rough
as virgin rocks.” - Verb.”
― Pablo Neruda
My featured artists this evening are the multi-talented and brilliant The Talbott Brothers from the great state of Nebraska, USA. They are new to me and definitely a fresh sound that echos folk or even a urban blues sentimentality. Their music is typically considered a rock, and/or folk genre.
The song selected is titled "Ordinary". It is the three track on their 2019 albumn titled "Ghost Talker" The song was uploaded on YouTube by The Talbott Brothers and published on Oct 31, 2019.
At little about the artists found on their website: https://www.thetalbottbrothers.com/about
"The Talbott Brothers have earned a large and growing following for their songs consisting of down-to-earth messages that prove to be prevalent in today’s world. Originally from Imperial, Nebraska, they now call Portland, Oregon home. Billboard defines their music as “captivating with haunting brotherly harmonies.”
Ghost Talker is the second full-length studio album from the sibling duo. Rolling Stone named their latest single one of the ‘Top 10 Songs to Hear Now,’ defining their music as “cinematic folk-rock for open highways, widescreen skies and the limitless reach of the American Heartland.” Blood harmonies and sibling rivalry are evident in their songwriting with lyrics pulling from the trials of everyday life and the questions we all face. “Everyone has ghosts, whether they talk about them or not. We wanted to take off the mask and be honest with this record, hoping that what we needed to say is what people needed to hear.”
At its core, the album is transformative in nature, prompting the listener to question motives, face realities, and go to war with their own ghosts. Spiritual apprehension and seeking answers are common themes. “Shadowboxing” is a hard look in the mirror, realizing that what you have been fighting all along is your own fear. “It takes one good fight to turn things around.”
Lead single, “Run No More” forces a look at the past while offering a soul shaking guitar solo that feels like a rally cry. “We tried running for a long time but it doesn’t do a heart any good. Sometimes in a wake-up call you realize what’s most important to you. "Run No More" is about when your legs give out and you gotta turn around and fight.”
The Talbott Brothers have performed at 30A Fest, SXSW, The Rock Boat and clubs and theaters across the US and Canada; sharing the stage with ZZ Ward, Johnnyswim and AJR."

"Ordinary"
What makes the world stop turning
Is yet the touch of your skin
I couldn’t be further from you
But you’re still right here
I caught a plane to Portland
For a few days of work
My heart stays heavy on you
And you’re on my shirt
All the in between
Keeps us on our feet
Through the day to day and dreams
We’ll find our ordinary
The hope we carry some days
Feels like a burden
But this blood inside our veins was
Paid for with purpose
There’s a ghost in these bones and it’s willing my soul
I feel it like a fire
To let my love pour over you darling
Is my one desire
All the in between
Keeps us on our feet
Through the day to day and the dreams
We’ll find our ordinary

I have listed the lyrics below for your reading pleasure.
"Till There's Nothing Left"(3)
Cam
I wanna steal every breath of fire
From every star in the Southern sky
I wanna lay down in the dark
Take a match right to your heart
I wanna hide with you in the rain
In the eye of a hurricane
I wanna call it for what it is
Give you everything I've got to give
Till there's nothing left
Till there's nothing left
Me and you in the backseat
Drivin' me crazy
Killin' me baby
Till there's nothing left
Till there's nothing left
With the windows up
Spendin' all my love
Prayin' God don't save me
Till there's nothing left
Keep me locked up in your eyes
Before the sun pushes out the night
Before we're whispers in the air
Come on and take me without a care
I wanna know what it feels like
To disappear into you
And never have to say goodbye
I'm gonna call love what it is
Give you everything I've got to give
Till there's nothing left
Till there's nothing left
Me and you in the backseat
Drivin' me crazy
Killin' me baby
Till there's nothing left
Till there's nothing left
With the windows up
Spendin' all my love
Prayin' God don't save me
Don't wanna go yet, Romeo and Juliet
Sunrise feelin' like a final sunset
Ooh baby, drivin' me crazy
Windows up, prayin' God don't save me
Don't wanna go yet, Romeo and Juliet
Sunrise feelin' like a final sunset
Ooh baby, drivin' me crazy
Windows up, prayin' God don't save me
Till there's nothing left
Till there's nothing left
Me and you in the backseat
Drivin' me crazy
Killin' me baby
Till there's nothing left (till there's nothing left)
Till there's nothing left
With the windows up
Spendin' all my love
Prayin' God don't save me
Till there's nothing left

"God Whispered Your Name"(3)
I was so cold and lost
And nothing seemed to ring true
I couldn't bear the cross
For everything I'd been through
And each day, I knew I needed change
But there was no way, no way
And then God whispered your name
And that's when everything changed
And love came out of the rain
And talk about being saved
Suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
Oh, when God whispered your name
I can see the sunshine
For the first time in a while
Girl, it's like I've been baptized
By the warmth of your smile
Well, call it fate or faith or call it crazy either way
It's amazin', amazin' grace
Oh, when God whispered your name
And that's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain
Talk about being saved
Well, suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name
It's just what I needed to hear, baby
It couldn't have been more loud and clear
Oh, when God whispered your name
And that's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain (out of the rain)
And talk about being saved
Oh, suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name, oh yeah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Ooh, Hallelujah, baby
Hallelujah, Hallelujah (oh yeah)
Hallelujah (ooh, yeah)
I can see the sunlight shinin' through your pretty eyes, baby
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I like a man who leaves, time feels like hell
Hallelujah
Got my hands up high, I got my hands up to the sky
Hallelujah, Hallelujah (ooh, I'm sayin' thank you)
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I'll Wait for You #BirdsOfAFeather @boaffly #FindAWay #MusicVideo #DianaMarySharpton ##IWantU2
Introduction:
“For me, you are fresh water that falls from trees when it has stopped raining. For me,
you are cinnamon that lingers on the tongue and gives bitter words sweetening. For me, you are the scent of violins and vision of valleys smiling. And still, for me, your loveliness never ends.
It traverses the world and finds its way back to me. Only me.”
― Kamand Kojouri
The song that I am going to feature this evening is titled “I'll Wait for You" (2) and sung by the brilliant young duet, Birds of a Feather (Amy McKay & Ryan Leon).

A little about the artists and the lyrics are listed below for your reading pleasure...
A little about the Artists: BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Amy & Ryan
"Amy McKay (vocal, guitar, piano, bluesharp) and Ryan Leon (vocal, guitar, banjo) are artists with a long track record respectively. They have been performing on both big and small stages in various places and countries before having met during their previous project, TinkaBelle.
The band was signed to Warner Music Central Europe, and both their studio albums were awarded with gold status. The group joined soul singer Seal for a duet, opened up in sold-out stadiums for rock legends Status Quo and went on tour with The Overtones in Germany.
By the end of 2013, it became clear to Amy and Ryan that the time was ripe for musical development and personal change. The decision for a new beginning had been made.
Birds of a Feather were allowed to mature slowly. Their first two EPs “Light Up” (2016) and “Rise Up” (2017) were recorded in Dublin with the support of producer Ger McDonnell (U2).
They took them on the road and performed shows all over Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, and Austria.
In spring 2018, in cooperation with DB, they gave concerts in all major train stations in Baden-Württemberg.
In December 2018, they launched a successful crowdfunding campaign to finance their band bus.
At the end of August 2019, Amy and Ryan will release their first full studio album “You Are Music”.
They repeated the inspiring collaboration with Ger McDonnell, and this time they also worked with three amazing Irish musicians:
John Colbert (Bass), Esa Taponen (Gitarren) und Daragh O’Toole (Keyboard)
Camera by: https://www.robinegli.ch
Cast: Alessandra Votta & Patrick Müller-Klug"

Lyrics:
"I‘ll wait for you"
Tell me why are your eyes so sad
When you hurt then I hurt so bad
So your parents still disapprove
It won’t change what I feel for you
Here’s what I’ll do
I’ll wait for you
So if your heart is torn
I’ll wait for you
And if you face the storm
I’ll fight for you
I promise you
We‘ll make it through
Don’t you know when I first met you
It was just like a bolt from blue
My whole world was turned upside down
Fell in love with your beautiful sound
I know that you
You feel it too
But if your heart is torn
I’ll wait for you
And if you face the storm
I’ll fight for you
I promise you
We‘ll make it through
And if you need me near
I’ll be with you
And if you feel the fear
I’ll challenge you
I promise you
I‘ll do anything for you
You introduced me to myself
And you know that we belong
True love is never wrong!!!
What does your heart tell you
What does it say
I want all of you
Everyday
It’s up to you
It’s up to you
So if your heart is torn
I’ll wait for you
And if you face the storm
I’ll fight for you
I promise you
We’ll make it through
This video worth watching!
Peace and Love always ~ D
Hold on to the light Sugar... It's there.. Love you
