The song is "Forever Young" by Alphaville.

Same song, but a different artist, for the high school Prom scene in "Napoleon Dynamite".

This one has meaning in today's age of nuttiness.

In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

I like Celtic Woman, I like big productions, and this song combines the two in grand style! It sounds much better on a good sound system. There are two drummers in this production and both are working as hard as Taiko drummers.

I just spent the last hour skimming through these and it's like taking a journey from childhood, to youth, to young adult, middle age and finally old man. What a great collaboration of songs and time of remembrance of times past.

"AMAZING GRACE" is the most beautiful song ever written and sung.

The full choir of Christ the King, LCA, Lutheran Church in Hoover, AL sang it as my youngest son, Patrick Sheridan Neely, was rolled out of the sancuary on the day before Thanksgiving in 1981. That was a long time ago but, I still miss my youngest soccer star.

I ran across this version of "Crying In The Chapel" - she has a beautiful voice
