When I was out today before I put the iPod on I had the radio on – and there was a hauntingly beautiful song on. It was ‘Beautiful Life’ which in the past had been performed by the ‘Ace of Bass’. It is only now that I have been able to seach iTunes that I have found that this is being performed by Tina Cousins. She has two versions on her latest album – I did find the ‘Ballad’ version the nicest of the two.

It was really hard on the freeway not to just close my eyes and listen to the music. The piano was so clear, and the vocals were amazing. The lyrics are available here. Like many songs, the lyrics are so powerful. I can see why someone like Tina Cousins chose to record this song :-
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn
Take a walk in the park when you feel down
There’s so many things there
That’s gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom a laughing child
Such a dream, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh…
