Regarding 'Pray for love', it's a different story; when they sing 'love me do' altogether it's one thing, but the girl alone didn't sound right. There are plenty of nasties who would have made fun of it. And last, the fact that we mentioned God at the end: we take it as it is. You can take it as a metaphor of Love in the purest form. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There area twp other versions of this song: - faster: www.youtube.com - and this: www.youtube.com - voices are better, but Cornelia was kindof busy with her sleeves :-) Watch also the great performance of Stefan (9 yo) playing on 9 instruments: www.youtube.com The children were musically trained with ... |
