I think the first song might be Words? If so, you are in good company here as many of Ellis' fans love the song as well. Googled the DVD and found a nice review of it here.

Okay, editor's note: Give In Give Up is the first song..... :oops:

Same goes for that song! :)

Here's 3000 Miles (with Susan Werner) from the DVD

I love this DVD, too, by the way! :wink:

clikchik,

Sorry, I meant to reply to this when you first asked. The song is "give in, give up" which was recorded on Speed of Trees. Here's a review of the DVD:

"Some people are born to make great art and others are born to appreciate it. It is a kind of talent in itself, to be an audience, whether you are the spectator in the gallery or you are listening to the voice of the world's greatest soprano. Not everyone can be the artist. There have to be those who witness the art, who love and appreciate what they have been privileged to see." -- Ann Patchett in Bel Canto.

Service with a smile :)

Give In, Give Up
from Speed of Trees


If I fell down on my knees
If I came to you pleading
Would you take me as I am
Your touch is all Im needing

Bring me courage, bring me change
We'll find oxygen in rain
And build a shelter in these arms
When this love has come to harm

You know who I am
Put a little faith in me
If you need some space on a shoulder

Why?
Why?
Why do we fall so fast
Take your ghosts into battle
The suns rising fast
Just give in
Give up
Get ready for this
Give in
Give up
Get ready for it

Cause I am whispering your name
It colors in the rain
Bells are ringing in this town
The women walk in wedding gowns
And if you fear your bones may break
If it comes to heart aching
The dance comes down to this
Every love will bring a risk

The colors you choose
Are yellows and blues
Lets paint the sky till its over
"once we're inside, it's a carnival ride" ~ ellis paul

The DVD is wonderful - highly recommended for those who have not seen it. The extras - especially "Rattle My cage" are great as well.

And if you don't have it, "Speed of Trees" is a superb CD - some very fine writing throughout. I don't think there is a weak song on the whole thing. Even several years later, they all hold up well.
