Does anyone know what contemporary P&W song contains these words? Oh, Nebula, I have to tell you something funny, well... funny to me. I had another song stuck in my head, only this time, I could not remember any of the words - zip! I only knew the tune, but by the time I found someone to tell, the tune was gone, too. I was telling my daughter about it, and she said, "Did it have to do with people?" You know, that song that all I could come up with was lalalalalala people or lonely people or plastic people? And, it turned out to be two separate songs in a Casting Crowns album and one follows the other. I told her how I frustrated you on that one, not on purpose, though.

Yup - It's the last verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to Christian radio in the car, and there is a song sung by a male group...and it is kind of like Amazing Grace, but not totally the hymnal version. And I can't think of the group's name... Now you have me going crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have me going crazy! OK! Thank you all. I know I hear a different melody in my head from the traditional one, so I guess it is just the old hym put to new music. Too bad I don't have a way of humming it for you. I will say this, though: A-ma-zing grace how sweet - is all just two notes repeated 3 times, and then it goes up on "the sound" (one note repeated twice) and then back down on that saved a wretch (same two notes repeated twice) and then goes down further on like me. Ok, I don't have a keyboard here - no room for it - but I think the notes could be C D C D C D E E C D C D B A if that helps and it could be in the key of D, at least in my head it is.

Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about then. It really is just the old hymn put to new music. "Amazing Grace" is remarkably versatile that way...you can put it to just about any music.
