Emma Beautiful and unique. As someone who is about to begin harp lessons, this is hugely motivational and inspiring. I have listened to so many harp albums today and this is by far the best!

ravingmeaviac Love these all so far. Accentuate the Positive is really cool because it is a wee bit different than some of your other selections. It demonstrates your versatility. :) Favorite track: Accentuate the Positive.

You'll remember me when the west wind moves among the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky when we walked in fields of gold So she took her love, for to gaze a while among the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down as we walked in fields of gold I never made promises lightly, and there have been some that I've broken, but I swear in the days still left we'll walk in fields of gold. Will you stay with me? Will you be my love among the fields of barley? You can tell the sun in his jealous sky when we walked in fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down, as you lie in fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves among the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky when we walked in fields of gold

This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw Think I was blind before I met you Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been But I know where I want to go So I thought I'd let you know That these things take forever I especially am slow But I realize how I need you And I wondered if I could come home I remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning I thought it was strange you said everything changed You felt as if you just woke up And you said this is the first day of my life I'm glad I didn't die before I met you Now I don't care I could go anywhere with you And I'd probably be happy So I thought I’d let you know You can have forever And although I might be slow I realized that I need you And I’m so glad that I am home

Fhir a' bhàta, s na hóro eile Fhir a' bhàta, s na hóro eile Fhir a' bhàta, s na hóro eile Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an téid thu 'S tric mi sealltainn on chnoc a’s àirde Dh'fheuch am faic mi fear a' bhàta An tig thu 'n-diugh no 'n tig thu màireach 'S mur tig thu idir gur truagh a ta mi Tha mo chridhe-sa briste brùite 'S tric na deòir a ruith o’m shùilean An tig thu nochd no 'm bi mo dhùil riut No 'n dùin mi 'n doras le osna thùrsaich?

You've got to accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mister In-Between You've got to spread joy up to the maximum Bring gloom down to the minimum Have faith or pandemonium Liable to walk upon the scene To illustrate my last remark Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark What did they do just when everything looked so dark? Man, they said you gotta accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mister In-Between

God on high hear my prayer In my need You have always been there He is young, he's afraid Let him rest, heaven blessed. Bring him home He's like the son I might have known If God had granted me a son. The summers die, one by one How soon they fly, on and on And I am old and will be gone. Bring him peace, bring him joy He is young, he is only a boy You can take, You can give Let him be, let him live If I die, let me die Let him live Bring him home

You're in over your head Your concentration is dead This deadline's got you stressing like mad Just take a deep breath You'll get out of this mess I won't lie and tell you it's not so bad But I can say [Chorus] A cup of tea makes your problems seem smaller A cup of tea makes the cold seem warmer Gives you strength to try it all again You can do it With tea and a friend It's been raining all day Clouds just won't go away Umbrellas don't help when there's such a gale You arrive in a huff I see that you've had enough I sit you down before you start to wail Put the kettle on

Of all the money that e’er I had, I spent it in good company. And of all the harm that e’er I've done, alas it was to none but me. And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can’t recall. So fill to me the parting glass. Goodnight and joy be with you all. Of all the comrades that e’er I had, they're sorry for my going away, And all the sweethearts that e’er I had, they would wish me one more day to stay, But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not, I’ll gently rise and I'll softly call, "Goodnight and joy be with you all!" A man may drink and not be drunk, a man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl and perhaps be welcomed back again But since it has so ordered been by a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass, Goodnight and joy be with you all
