Brenda Lee
Brenda Mae Tarpley (born December 11, 1944), known as Brenda Lee, is an American performer and the top-charting solo female vocalist of the 1960s. She sang rockabilly, pop and country music, and had 47 US chart hits during the 1960s, and is ranked fourth in that decade surpassed only by Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Ray Charles. She is perhaps best known in the United States for her 1960 hit "I'm Sorry", and 1958's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", a United States holiday standard for more than 50 years.
At 4 ft 9 inches tall (approximately 145 cm), she received the nickname Little Miss Dynamite in 1957 after recording the song "Dynamite" and was one of the earliest pop stars to have a major contemporary international following.
Lee's popularity faded in the late 1960s as her voice matured, but she continued a successful recording career by returning to her roots as a country singer with a string of hits through the 1970s and 1980s. She is a member of the Rock and Roll, Country Music and Rockabilly Halls of Fame. She is also a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Brenda currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
I Wonder (Departure)
"I Wonder (Departure)" is a song by ABBA, released on their 1977 album ABBA: The Album. It was originally part of the ABBA-produced mini-musical The Girl with the Golden Hair, which they performed at the end of each of their 1977 concert tours.
Production
In a hypothetical sequel to Mamma Mia put together by the Telegraph, the song is sung at a point in the musical where Sophie "dreams of cutting loose [from Sky] and heading abroad".
Synopsis
The song is about whether the narrator should leave behind everything she knows in order to pursue something greater. It is comparable to the song Belle from Beauty & the Beast in this sense. ABBA : Let The Music Speak argues that the song parallels Frida own life story, in regard to the "momentous decision she took in her early 20's to leave her young family in pursuit of singing stardom".
Release
A live recording of the served as the flip side to the single "The Name of the Game", recorded during the Australian leg of the tour.
Composition
Elijah
Elijah (Hebrew: אֱלִיָּהוּ, Eliyahu, meaning "My God is Yahu") or Elias (/ᵻˈlaɪ.əs/; Greek: Ηλίας Elías; Syriac: ܐܸܠܝܼܵܐ Elyāe;Arabic: إلياس or إليا, Ilyās or Ilyā) was a prophet and a wonder-worker in the northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of Ahab (9th century BC), according to the biblical Books of Kings. According to the Books of Kings, Elijah defended the worship of Yahweh over that of the Canaanite idol Baal. God also performed many miracles through him, which included raising the dead, bringing fire down from the sky, and taking him up to heaven "by a whirlwind". In the Book of Malachi, Elijah's return is prophesied "before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord", making him a harbinger of the Messiah and the eschaton in various faiths that revere the Hebrew Bible. References to Elijah appear in the New Testament, the Talmud, the Mishnah, and the Qur'an.
In Judaism, Elijah's name is invoked at the weekly Havdalah ritual that marks the end of Shabbat, and Elijah is invoked in other Jewish customs, among them the Passover seder and the Brit milah (ritual circumcision). He appears in numerous stories and references in the Haggadah and rabbinic literature, including the Babylonian Talmud.
Elijah (oratorio)
Elijah (German: Elias), Op. 70, MWV A 25, is an oratorio written by Felix Mendelssohn. It premiered in 1846 at the Birmingham Festival. It depicts events in the life of the Biblical prophet Elijah, taken from the books 1 Kings and 2 Kings of the Old Testament.
Music and its style
This piece was composed in the spirit of Mendelssohn's Baroque predecessors Bach and Handel, whose music he loved. In 1829 Mendelssohn had organized the first performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion since the composer's death and was instrumental in bringing this and other Bach works to widespread popularity. By contrast, Handel's oratorios never went out of fashion in England. Mendelssohn prepared a scholarly edition of some of Handel's oratorios for publication in London. Elijah is modelled on the oratorios of these two Baroque masters; however, in its lyricism and use of orchestral and choral colour the style clearly reflects Mendelssohn's own genius as an early Romantic composer.
The work is scored for four vocal soloists (bass-baritone, tenor, alto, soprano), full symphony orchestra including trombones, ophicleide, organ, and a large chorus singing usually in four, but occasionally eight or three (women only) parts. The title role is for bass-baritone and was sung at the premiere by the Austrian bass Joseph Staudigl.
Elijah (disambiguation)
Elijah was a prophet in Israel in the 9th century BCE, mentioned in several holy books. Elias is the Greek equivalent.

I Wonder
by: AThere's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
Got a message on my phone
I wasn't keeping count
I know you like to talk in code
I've got you figured out
Nobody said it was easy
Yeah, but you gotta believe me
Because I'm losing out
Yeah, I gotta tell ya
There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
What is the chance of making life?
Pick up the panic stations
And I can only sympathize
With your hesitations
You can dance the night away
You can force yourself to stay
When you're easing on the brakes
And taking care of things
There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
No one sends letters anymore
That's what we've got computers for
Cleaning the shit up from the floor
That's what I live for
That's what I live for
Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over
Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over
There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over
Let me down and leave me hopeless
