5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Sad and Immortal, 22 Jan 2005
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Within a few weeks, several musicians including Brian Wilson, Gary Moore, Steve Winwood, Bill Wyman, Cliff Richard, Chicago, America, Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Boy George, collaborated from different continents to produce this fund-raising single. With a slight tropical lilt and a slow paced interplay of vocals, this song will have you near tears. The additonal choral and vocal versions are no less powerful.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute stunner., 25 Jan 2005
I had heard a lot of pre release chat about this record. Most of it pitched by those in our society that vomit engine oil and defacate nuts and bolts. As I suspected this is a beautiful CD. All three parts were great but the Choral version of the song by a Sri lankan choir called 'Soul Sounds' was absolutely stunning. With no accompaniment but a background drum beat they tore you open with a performance that if heard by the general British public will lay out the entire nation's heart. This is no record for pop heads and frivolous music tastes. Mike Read can take a giant bow for his effort. The words are poignant and beautifully aspected by the musical arrangements of all three versions of the song. I cannot remember another song which was better value for money this year or any other year. It will be bought for its power to serve a worthy charitable cause, but it is a work worthy of the highest praise by any other standard. Just listen to the Choral version in a quiet room where your tears won't be visible.
Go for it England. Remember the ability to feel sentiment betrays a good heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The title says it all..., 3 Feb 2005
How well anyone who has lost a loved one knows...grief never grows old.

This song's simplicity hits a chord deep inside. We can never bring back the thousands of lives that were lost when the tsunami hit, but we can attempt to help bring order to the chaos and utter dispair that currently is all those who survived the disaster have to cling to.

I am proud of the men and women who came together to organize this effort, and proud of everyone who orders the CD.

I applaud Mike Read, Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, Cliff Richard, Brian Wilson, Boy George, Russell Watson, Steve Winwood, Jon Anderson, Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley, all of the musicians, The National Children's Choir of Great Britain, and everyone else who might have had a hand in putting this CD together.

My one concern is that the CD is not being publicized well enough. I live in the United States and have heard ZERO about it other than on Bee Gee lists. Once again Universal has missed the mark by a long shot...millions of US fans would order if they only knew about it.
