558. The Rhythm of Life (Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields)

[elfinia]

Cy Coleman... great genius.

Fun rendition !

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks for joining us.

[TRWolf]

What were the changed lyrics?

[raymondcrooke]

Mainly this bit:

Go and spread the Gospel, Peak to Harbour

Take the MTR as far as Causeway Bay

Tunnel through the Lion Rock on to MongKok

Tell it on the ferry to Discovery Bay

but it wouldn't mean much to you unless you know Hong Kong.

You should do your choral stuff separately from your 1001 songs - otherwise it's cheating I reckon.

Great song though!

[raymondcrooke]

You could also say I'm cheating by putting up videos of my friends in the folk society. At least I'm actually singing in the choir videos! I know I'm stretching the definition of folk music in some of these, but the same applies to a few of the solo songs I put up.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I'll opt for variety on one channel rather than branch out into new channels!

Great song! I heard it in church once before, but I didn't know where it was from. Thanks for the song and the info.

[raymondcrooke]

Interesting. It must be quite a progressive church - this is not exactly a hymn.

[kaburto1966]

It is very progressive. It's a UU church. I love it. I'm always learning something new there and I get to know lots of interesting people.

[rington1]

that made me smile, great job keep them coming Raymond.

Alex...

Another really nice performance of this choir. I mostly like the atmosphere... exactly the noise in the background, the beginning of the video with family and children... it makes it so... familiar :)

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks for your feedback. The choir videos are a bit different from what I usually put up, so it's useful to know that they are appreciated.
