This week on Vibes the theme is pain
~~~ embed:NQI2_OGZsqs youtube ~~~
I asked my very talented daughter to record me singing one of my old time favourites - Elvis Presley singing Are You Lonesome Tonight
Then my son @deimus video'd me singing on our balcony when the sun was setting.
Now my daughter is busy editing the video and I am brimming with pride. My children really love me and I so appreciate them taking the time to help me with this submission.
@emcandlish visited us in Cyprus and we made a friendly bet that if I submitted a song she would too. So Emma, I'm waiting for your entry!!
This song has come up a few times on Vibes so forgive me for the repetition. Still, who can get enough of Elvis - after all these years he's still the King
Thank you to @lordbutterfly and @silentscreamer for organising this competition. Thank you @verbal-d for judgng with Marica. Thank you to my wonderful children who make life so worth living.
@christinepoulos
Like daughter, like mother, you are gorgeously radiant
Your singing takes us on a journey like a departing curve gradient
Your smooth subtle singing, grooves, soothes, cuddles, ringing
Sweet somethings of a lovely, deep romantic thinking
This profound and musical piece is reminiscent
The calm serenity it rests on my heart is so sufficient
The way you carefully deliver those notes are so comforting
You open up the heart and soul with your every gracious uttering
Encore

Ahh @verbal-d what an honour to have you comment poetically on my post - you are too kind to an almost 74 year old. Thank you for your kind words. You made my day!!!
Age is but a number, we live in the spirit and in contrast to and considering of everlasting life and our timeless God, you are still so young, the flesh is temporary dear lol you are so welcome.
You’re so precious my panda ❤️ I love you so much and I’m so proud of you. Thank you for teaching me how to be brave and how to be the woman I am today. Thank you for always encouraging me to put my feelings into my music even when they’re painful. I know my value because of you and if I had my life over I’d ask God for you as my mom every single time. You’re the greatest blessing and I love hearing you sing this song and tell the story ❤️
Aw thanks my darling. You are the most caring and sweetest person - even helping me last night when I know you were not feeling your best and the heatwave here is taking its toll on all of us. Thank you for all the effort you put into helping with this entry of mine. What a pleasure it is to work with you and how blessed am I to be your mother and have such a wonderful daughter. Love you so much. ❤️
What a treat seeing you perform Christine, you almost made me shed a tear. You are a brave woman to get back to the mic after so many years.
Beautiful setting, and yes, you are a blessed Mama with wonderful children <3
