Lovin’ You.

Lovin’ You.

Lyrics and Vocals: American singer, songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and businesswoman Ms Dolly Rebecca Parton.

Dolly Parton.

Some songs speak softly to the heart, and “Lovin’ You” is one of those timeless expressions of devotion and tenderness. Dolly Parton’s gentle words remind us that true love is not only found in happiness, but also in standing beside someone through their broken moments, offering comfort, loyalty, and healing. The following lines beautifully capture that spirit of unconditional love and faithful devotion.

Lovin’ You.

Lovin’ You.

Lovin’ you is my great honour,
Lovin’ you, my pride and joy.
I’ll defend you, I will mend you,
When you’re broken like a toy.
When your burdens get too heavy,
When you’re weary to the bone,
I will help you hold it steady,
Pack it up and head for home.
I will love you come whatever,
I will be there when you call.
I’ll encourage each endeavour,
Be the first one to applaud.
I’ll correct you when you’re sideways,
I will praise you when you win.
I will be there for you always
With a love that never ends.
I will always. (I will always).
I will always. (I will always).
I will always (always) be lovin’ you.
Midst the chaos and confusion,
I am never far behind.
My love is your transfusion,
To restore your soul and mind.
I will nurse you back to freedom,
Doctor up your shattered parts.
Two arms here when you need ’em,
And one lovin’, open heart.
And if the world should end tomorrow,
And we both know that it might.
‘Mongst the darkness and the sorrow,
I will be your guiding light.
And if God sees fit to let us,
Be together ever more,
If I had one question granted,
That’s what I would ask him for.
And I will love you come whatever,
I will catch you when you fall.
I’ll encourage each endeavour,
When your back’s against the wall.
I will hold you when you’re fragile,
I will always let you in.
I will rock you like a sweet child,
Like a lover and a friend.
I will always. (I will always).
I will always. (I will always).
I will always (always) be lovin’ you.
I will always (always), I will always (always).
Yes, I will always be lovin’ you (lovin’ you).
Lovin’ you (lovin’ you), lovin’ you.
Lovin’ you.
I’m lovin’ you.
(Lovin’ you, I’m lovin’ you, lovin you).
I will love you come whatever,
I will always let you in.
I will rock you like a baby,
Be your lover and your friend.
I’ll defend you, I will mend you.
I will always see you through,
And I will always (I will always), I will always love you.

Sir David Attenborough Celebrates 100 Years As World Honours A Voice For Nature.

Legendary British broadcaster and natural historian Sir David Attenborough marked his 100th birthday, today Friday, May 8th 2026, receiving an extraordinary wave of tributes from around the world, after more than seven decades spent bringing the wonders of nature into millions of homes.
Born on May 8th, 1926 in Isleworth, Middlesex, England, Sir David has become one of the most respected and recognisable voices in broadcasting history.

In a heartfelt audio message released by the BBC, Sir David said he had expected a quiet celebration but was deeply moved by the global response to his milestone birthday. Messages arrived from children, families, schools and care homes, reflecting the affection generations of viewers feel for the man whose storytelling transformed wildlife filmmaking.

Across Britain, celebrations were organised to honour his remarkable contribution to television and environmental awareness. The BBC scheduled a week of special programming dedicated to his life and work, while events including concerts at London’s Royal Albert Hall, museum exhibitions, nature walks and tree-planting ceremonies were held nationwide.

For over 70 years, Sir David has documented the beauty, complexity and fragility of the natural world. His groundbreaking documentaries, including Life on Earth, The Blue Planet, Frozen Planet and Dynasties, revolutionised natural history broadcasting and inspired millions to care about wildlife and conservation.

Some of his most unforgettable moments include a famous encounter with playful mountain gorillas during the filming of Life on Earth, dramatic footage of orcas hunting seals in icy waters, and his emotional narration of the story of “Lonesome George,” the final surviving Pinta Island tortoise whose death marked the extinction of his species. These powerful scenes helped audiences understand both the wonder and vulnerability of life on Earth.

In recent decades, Attenborough has become one of the world’s strongest advocates for environmental protection. His acclaimed 2017 series Blue Planet II highlighted the devastating impact of plastic pollution in the oceans and sparked public pressure for action on waste reduction and conservation measures worldwide.

Despite his global fame, colleagues and friends often describe Attenborough as modest and deeply committed to public service. Producer Mike Gunton said Attenborough viewed himself not as a celebrity, but as someone fortunate enough to speak on behalf of the natural world.

Even at 100, Attenborough remains actively involved in filmmaking. One of the latest BBC projects celebrating his centenary is Secret Garden, a series exploring the hidden wildlife thriving in Britain’s gardens and green spaces.

Attenborough’s career began at the BBC in the early 1950s, before he rose through the organisation to become a senior television executive. However, his passion for storytelling and wildlife drew him back in front of the camera, leading to the creation of Life on Earth in 1979 — the landmark series that established him as a household name around the globe.

Today, Sir David Attenborough is regarded not only as a pioneering broadcaster, but also as one of the most influential communicators of science and conservation in modern history. His work has inspired generations to appreciate the natural world and to recognise the urgent need to protect it for the future.

Love Is like A Butterfly.

Love Is like A Butterfly.

Lyrics and Vocals: American singer, songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and businesswoman Ms Dolly Rebecca Parton.

Ms Dolly Rebecca Parton.

According to Ms Parton’s lyrics; love arrives quietly, like something you almost don’t notice at first. It lingers in the air with a softness that feels both fragile and endless. It doesn’t rush, instead it drifts and lingers before choosing you gently and finally settling, like something so delicate you’re afraid to hold too tightly, yet so beautiful that you never want to let it go. The song was released in 1974 as one of her signature country hits.

Love Is like A Butterfly.

Love Is like A Butterfly.

Love is like a butterfly,
As soft and gentle as a sigh,
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings.
Love makes your heart feel strange inside,
It flutters like soft wings in flight,
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.
I feel it when you’re with me,
It happens when you kiss me,
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside.
Your touch is soft and gentle,
Your kiss is warm and tender,
Whenever I am with you, I think of butterflies.
Love is like a butterfly
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings.
Love makes your heart feel strange inside,
It flutters like soft wings in flight,
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.
Your laughter brings me sunshine,
Every day is springtime,
And I am only happy when you are by my side.
How precious is this love we share,
How very precious, sweet and rare,
Together, we belong like daffodils and butterflies.
Love is like a butterfly,
As soft and gentle as a sigh,
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings.
Love makes your heart feel strange inside,
It flutters like soft wings in flight,
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.
(Love is like a butterfly)

A Little Good News.

‘A Little Good News’

Lyrics: American country music songwriter and producer Charlie Black; American country music songwriter and music publisher Rory Bourke, and professional country music songwriter Tommy Rocco.
Vocals: Canadian country-pop artist Anne Murray.

Ms Anne Murray.

Back in 1983, just like today, when the world already feels full of troubling headlines, Ms Anne Murray recorded a song that really struck a chord with ordinary people. It’s about something we can all relate to; that feeling of turning on the news and just wishing, just for once, that there was something positive to hear.
Written by Charlie Black, Rory Bourke, and Tommy Rocco, this song, hereunder, went on to become a number one country hit and win a Grammy. The song reminds us how much we all need a little hope, or even as the title suggests, ‘A Little Good News.’

‘A Little Good News’

‘A Little Good News’.

I rolled out this morning, the kids had the morning news show on.
Bryant Gumbel was talking ’bout the fighting in Lebanon.
Some senator was squawking ’bout the bad economy.
It’s gonna get worse, you see, we need a change in policy.

There’s a local paper rolled up in a rubber band.
One more sad story’s one more than I can stand.
Just once how I’d like to see the headline say,
Not much to print today, can’t find nothing bad to say,

Because,

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town.
Nobody OD’d, nobody burned a single building down.
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain.
We sure could use a little good news today.

I’ll come home this evening, I’ll bet that the news will be the same.
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane.
How I wanna hear the anchorman talk about a county fair.
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care.
Whoa, tell me

Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today,
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play,
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA.
We sure could use a little good news today.

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town.
Nobody OD’d, nobody burned a single building down.
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain.
We sure could use a little good news today.

End.

Teach Your Children Well.

Teach Your Children Well.

Lyrics: British and American musician, singer and songwriter Graham William Nash.
Vocals: Folk rock supergroup composed of the American singer-songwriters David Crosby (formerly of ‘The Byrds’) and Stephen Stills (formerly of ‘Buffalo Springfield’) and the English-American singer-songwriter Graham Nash (formerly of ‘The Hollies’) and Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young, (formerly of ‘Buffalo Springfield’), collectively known as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Released in 1970, “Teach Your Children” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is a warm, reflective song about the relationship between generations. Written by Graham Nash, it highlights how parents and children can learn from each other, encouraging understanding, guidance, and the passing on of better values for the future.

Teach Your Children Well.

Teach Your Children Well.

You who are on the road,
Must have a code that you can live by.
And so become yourself,
Because the past is just a goodbye.
Teach your children well,
Their father’s hell did slowly go by.
And feed them on your dreams,
The one they picked the one you’ll know by.
Don’t you ever ask them why,
If they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh,
And know they love you.
And you of tender years,
Can’t know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well,
Their children’s hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams,
The one they picked the one you’ll know by.
Don’t you ever ask them why,
If they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh,
And know they love you.
