A song I have loved from the moment I first heard it, but I always end up with tears running down my face when I listen to it. :embarrassed: WHY? I have no idea, but it happens every time.

Superb as ever Scrump but it's so sad to see Pavarotti these days.. He looks so ill and that voice is as ever..I think he must have a painting of his vocal chords in a cellar somewhere..

I was sad to hear about Meatloaf this morning.  The family said that they are not disclosing the reason but someone said that he needed oxygen off stage.

My ex (an entertainer) died of lung problems and I guess that it could be caused by taking huge breaths of smoky air in night clubs.

Brash, desensitizing dangerous rubbish.
That so called song has' damned' 8 times in the lyrics.
Refers to guns and killers etc
It's all part of the odious mechanism now working in society
that creates lack of feelings some people have
for others. Bit by bit it will grow.
BTW, I'm not some bible punching nut, but an Atheist.

In fact, the song started out being written for a 1970s sci-fi rock opera version of Peter Pan called Neverland by Jim Steinman, who also wrote the song, and concerns a motorbike crash in the style of Leader of the Pack..
