Amazing. This is a great tool, its always annoying when the radio dJ fails to mention the name of the last few songs played. I have thought many times its gotta be essential and would help record sales..

I think the song—-lyrics and music—-is beautiful. The singers voice is haunting — he anunciates the letters clearly. In all it makes me think of peace—something quiet and peaceful on a stormy day.
Now —–after my long search to find the name of the song and the cd—
I’m off to buy it. Thanks for doing your part in my search.

I just listened to it and it is LAY. I also checked several lyric sites.
“If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?”

With an unexpected death of someone close over christmas this lyric just reminds me of how short life is and precious is our time with loved ones. Siexe the day. It is so beautiful and haunting. It makes me teary whenever it is played on the radio. It has a similar feel to Fields of Gold by Sting – anothe r of my favourites – i’m a big sucker for a sad song. Thankyou for this great website – it was too easy to track down the artist and it was so cool to see how the song has spoken to others…

When I finally got pregnant after 1 year…. and lost the “baby” at 8 weeks… I just needed a song… and this song.. is now “my baby’s song”..
Whenever I hear it.. it reminds me how I felt when I was pregnant… we don’t need anything or anyone.. I just lay sometimes… and forgot about the world… tears come in my eyes everytime I hear the song.. but I cant hear it enough!!

Missy L and all posted on this page,
I have to agree with you on all that you’ve said. I heard this song a few weeks ago and then heard it today and was able to download it and I must say I love the song. I love the lyrics too. I’m an emotional person when I need to be, when it’s appropriate or when a soft spot is hit. This song brings out my emotions. I played it three times and cried through it each time I played it. I love it. It also reminds you to look back at all the problems we have in our society and that everything can be fixed in one day if we put our minds to it. This song also puts me in the mood when thinking about my most controversial hour which will be in the very near future.

2. no one could figure out why I was getting worse
3. depression slithers in both of us
4. decide to exit state, family issues/lack of knowledge of doctors, 1996
5. fibromyalgia, CFS, Multiple Sclerosis, when the diagnose for Fibro was made, the MS should of been, 9 years too late, can’t take any medication,allergic, 3rd stage now
6. paralysis patches getting worse affecting more parts of body
7. husband looses job and out of work for over 3 years.
8.we are both depressed
9.spinal stenosis/ neck and low back after it ruptured, surgery
10. introduced to a wheelchair because of paralysis
11..husband has a stroke
11.things are better, I am a walking miracle and husband survived stroke and the ruptured appendix, 2 days before pumped with antibiotic’s, that happened before the stroke
We know it came out in 2006, but we now own a CD player and in 50’s and just certain lyric’s hit the hearts’ core and this does it, thank you for we will always have one another, and we will learn the song by heart, it is unique and beautiful and so gifted for it reached our hearts.
