Mufti, hope your ears are recovering

from the joy division?, it has been a long time now , so i guess so, they are just damaged from all the concerts, especially the ones where i insisted on standing right at the front next to the speakers.

Love is Mountain by Seize The Day is a beautiful song, brings tears to my eyes every time

My love is a Mountain,
My love is Alive,
My heart is an Ocean wide

Hold me
Hold me in my pain,
Nothing will ever be the same

Sweet life's first breath,
Holding you naked against my breast

You wrapped your hands around my hair,
You are here, You are here
You are here.

My love is a Mountain,
My love is Alive,
My heart is an Ocean wide

My body is Freedom,
My body is Strong
My Spirit will carry on

Wild stormy birth,
Pushing you out onto the Earth,
Your life and mine,
Caught in a ritual older than time.

My love is a Mountain,
My love is Alive,
My heart is an Ocean wide

Circle Of Life-Lion King
Im Alive-Celine Dion
Here I am-Bryan Adams

John Lennon's Beautiful Boy. It was playing in the delivery suite (radio) as DS1 was delivered. I never fail to cry every time I hear it now...for joy, that is!!

You raise me up

my absolute fave baby song is lauren hill's 'to zion'.

unsure of what the balance held
i touched my belly overwhelmed
by what i had been chosen to perform
but then an angel came one day
told me to kneel down and pray
for unto me a man child would be born
woe this crazy circumstance
i knew his life deserved a chance
but everybody told me to be smart
look at your career they said
lauryn baby use your head
but instead i chose to use my heart
now the joy of my world is in zion.

how beautiful if nothing more
than to wait at zion's door
ive never been in love like this before
now let me pray to keep you from
the perils that will surely come
see life for you my prince has just begun.
and i thank you for choosing me
to come through unto life to be
a beautiful reflection of His grace
see i know that a gift so great
is only one god could create
and i'm reminded every time i see your face
that the joy of my world is in zion...
