BACKGROUND
They are all pieces of music which beautifully describe the power of love which moves, forgives, possesses. Chet baker sings "I own you" - not very pc but we understand the power of the emotion and can hear it in the voice. Mara Carlye sings "I blame you not although my heart is breaking" and we understand the ability of love to forgive, even when it makes us suffer. Christy Moore's voice tells even more poignantly than in the Roberta Flack version what that first connection with love can feel like.
