The first time I heard this was on a British Airlines TV ad for the Concorde, obviously at least 25 years ago.
That made me go find it.

I used to know the difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel.
But now I can't marimba...

A friend of mine did reviews of the Chopin etudes and Beethoven Moonlight Sonata for Gramophone. Nice way to choose some favorite recordings to listen to.

Kind of a sad/gruesome background to this album by Allison Moorer. It talks about the tragedy when she was a teenager of when her father killed her mother and then committed suicide. But it is still very good.

[Verse 1]
The night was hot and steamy and crickets played their tune
Everyone was sleeping under an August moon
Except one man that sat awake, slowly going mad
Regretting that he'd thrown away the only love he had[Verse 2]
A slave to the bottle, he'd driven his family to leave
A wife and two daughters he treated so terribly
Drunk with grief and loneliness, he wasn't thinking straight
He knew he couldn't live unless they pardoned his mistakes[Verse 3]
He went into the city to try to make amends
Asked his love for pity but she would not give in
Overwhelmed with sadness, he reached for his gun
And took her life along with his before the morning sun[Outro]
Now they are lying in the cold, cold earth
Such a sad, sad story; such a sad, sad world -

The last song from the album,[Verse 1]
No matter how I try, I end up on the ground
Another orphan waitin' in the lost-and-found
Over and over, I take it on the chin
Fists up to the world, fighting a fight I cannot win[Chorus]
Help me lay my weapons down
Help me give the love I feel
Help me hold myself with kindness
And help me heal
Remove all of the false
Show me what is real
Oh Lord, help me heal[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm tough but I wasn't born this way
I grew hard because I had to, carrying the weight
I wanna let it go, I wanna set it free
But everywhere I turn the fight follows me[Chorus]
Help me lay my weapons down
Help me give the love I feel
Help me hold myself with kindness
And help me heal
Remove all of the false
Show me what is real
Oh Lord, help me heal[Chorus]
Help me lay my weapons down
Help me give the love I feel
Help me hold myself with kindness
And help me heal
Remove all of the false
Show me what is real
Oh Lord, help me heal -

That was nice, thanks TG. Kind of melancholy and sad, but a beautiful song.
