I have to agree Paul, Sorry bobins! :It does blow out my idea of A Kind of Hush too!

Re: Pickled Egg Jukebox-Your Selections
A bit late to the party but how about this beautiful song from The Alan Parsons Project, The Silence and I, together with the Medellín Philharmonic Orchestra.
The singer does a good job but I would like to hear it done by Colin Blunstone, who has done other tracks for the APP.

Sometimes it's good to remember some of the great voices of days gone by:

Re: Pickled Egg Jukebox-Your Selections
I had never heard Cher's version so I had a listen but I think she got the lyric wrong, singing 'scared of living and scared of dying' instead of 'tired of living etc.......' and also a bit too high here and there for me, however as a result of looking for hers I came across this version by one of my all time greats:

Just generally prefer female vocals, with a few exceptions. Rarely take any notice of the lyrics and hadn't noted the difference.mickthemaverick wrote: 26 Aug 2025, 16:20 I had never heard Cher's version so I had a listen but I think she got the lyric wrong, singing 'scared of living and scared of dying' instead of 'tired of living etc.......' and also a bit too high here and there for me, however as a result of looking for hers I came across this version by one of my all time greats:![]()

Re: Pickled Egg Jukebox-Your Selections
Yes I think we know that that is where we fundamentally differ Steve, with me preferring the tenor and downwards in the vocal range while you prefer the upper end of that particular spectrum!myglaren wrote: 26 Aug 2025, 18:04 Just generally prefer female vocals, with a few exceptions.

This was a revelation. Always assumed it was a Moody's original.
