This is not going to be easy! Grin I'm showing my age and will probably come across as a bit weird but here goes....

I used to listen to Terry Wogan on R2 on my way to work and he played this song almost every day for quite a while... Could have been any time 2000-2007 Grin I've not heard it since but I loved it!

I have NO idea who sang it ... I don't know what it's called and I don't know any lines...

I'm not religious at all but It's got a 'Christian' message .all about God loving us etc. and how wonderful life is..it was quite repetitive at times.

It was by someone well known and I remember thinking at the time that the person had been part of a group at one point. Even as far back as the '70s
They had other songs with a religious message too but not all of them did...

I thought it was Van Morrison, Aaron Neville, James Taylor but I don't know...

That's all I've got!

I don't stand a chance finding it do I?!

When I first read the OP, I thought Fragile by Sting. Just a couple of decades out 🤣

Thatsmeinthespotlight is yours Streets Of London by Ralph McTell? It's been covered by a lot of people too.

Catquest1 · 10/11/2019 08:09

Was it Wisemen by James Blunt?

TW played this ever so a lot (be around 2004/05) and thats where i first heard it.

ShinyGiratina · 10/11/2019 08:23

He did play Keeping the Dream Alive by Freiheit a lot. I'm getting the urge to play and sing it now, but it would be a rude awakening for the rest of the household at this time Grin

I also thought Pretty Amazing Grace, but I think it was about 2008, so he wouldn't have had much time left to play it.

I loved Terry in the mornings. I still miss that show and can barely listen to the current breakfast show.

A Ken Bruce playlist would be great, but he likes his long songs so you wouldn't fit many on Wink

My late husband always loved when Terry played "Arms of Mary" by the Sutherland Brothers. It's sounds like it could be religious.....

Any chance it could be Pretty Amazing Grace by Neil Diamond ?

OH MY GOD!!!

I can't believe you've done it!
This has made me cry!
See, I'm not mad!!! Older singer, 2007 (it was released in 2008 so I was one out) famous, spiritual....

Bloody well done!

Did we ever find out what Tina Turner was holding on the Private Dancer album cover? Grin

PintofPinot · 10/11/2019 10:18

Pretty amazing!! MN at its very best, well done Smile

SwedishEdith · 10/11/2019 11:06

As soon as I saw Neil Diamond 'Pretty Amazing Grace posted I knew it'd be that. Except, you said it was pretty upbeat 😁

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 10/11/2019 11:51

I love Neil Diamond, such a shame he retired due to parkinsons.

soundsg00d · 10/11/2019 12:05

Hurray! Pleased to be of assistance ! I love that song too and remember it being played a lot on Radio 2. I bought the live in NYC Neil Diamond album off the back of it and listened to it a lotSmile

Toitoitoi · 10/11/2019 12:26

Brilliant!

Elodie2019 · 10/11/2019 13:28

Swedish I did say upbeat! I must have remembered it as being positive! Not upbeat though!

Yes, definitely MN at its best!
