This is a verrry old song written as a Poem by New Jersey poet and Soldier SGT Joyce Kilmer in 1913/14

It was recorded by some of the most beautiful tenor voices over the decades... but I love this version which I believe was the last version released in 1961...


 

I've heard our taste in food changes as we age. I haven't noticed that so much but my tastes have changed in music. I grew up in a Country music invironment along with Rock. As country changed my taste in music changed. For some years now I have placed a premium on Jazz. For some time I have been listening to classical music. I like some of the cello and viola with piano pieces in adagio. Also like some of the classical piano as background music when reading or relaxing.

Country has become so 'cross-over' and is now just Pop music sung with a Southern accent. :confused:

That's as good an explanation as I've heard. But I like very little of it. I'm totally Jazz and Classical but i like to pick and choose.
 
One of the most calming and soulful sounds of the 60's. Man, how I loved to dance to this song with my favorite girl at the time.

 
"I Don't Want to Change You" from the latest Damien Rice album "My Favourite Faded Fantasy"


"I Don't Want To Change You"

Wherever you are
Well, know that I adore you
No matter how far
Well, I can go before you
And if ever you need someone
Well, not that you need helping
But if ever you want someone
I know that I am willing

Oh, and I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you,
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger
Somewhere in a stranger's eye

Wherever you go
Well, I can always follow
I can feed this real slow
If it's a lot to swallow
And if you just want to be alone
Well, I can wait without waiting
If you want me to let this go
Well, I am more than willing

Oh, 'cause I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you,
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger
Somewhere in a stranger's eye

Oh, and I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you,
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger
Somewhere in a stranger's eye

I've never been with anyone
In the way I've been with you
But if love is not for fun,
Then it's doomed, 'cause

Water races,
Water races down the waterfall,
The water races,
Water races down the waterfall

And I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you,
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Where there is no danger
Where love has eyes and is not blind
