Been wanting to blog re the ONJ concert in Spore but only now have the chance cos my mac's been at the service centre...Personally it was the BEST concert I have ever been. She was marvelous - still have that trademark raspy voice, the "i am so heartbroken" way of singing & someone who actually sang the songs that mattered. Not surprisingly, she touched many with her love songs & her inspirational songs (after surviving breast cancer). The Catholic news featured her recently at http://www.onlyolivia.com/memorabilia/mags/2007/070513_catholic-news_sm.html....sorry something wrong with my uploading from Firefox...
Besides her gd ol favs, she of course sang some songs from her latest album "Grace & Gratitude". I remembered her singing this one song called ""Love Is Letting Go Of Fear" & I have reproduced the wonderful lyrics below:
The pain is something that you can't ignore.
You're always wondering what the hurt is for.
Your heart feels something that you cant explain.
You yearn for love but you are afraid to change.
Remember your wounded bird still sings.
Remember that faith has tiny wings.
(chorus)
Love is letting go of fear.
Love is letting go of doubt.
Love is letting go of chains
That tie your spirit down and
Love is letting of of pain.
Love is learning how to dance
Inside the light again.
You're always haunted by the love you lost.
You're scared that you'll forever pay the cost.
You believe this is the bitter end.
Better lonely than be heard again.
Remember there is always one more chance.
Remember your love's the only dance."
