Caught any Stars Lately?

Today's singalong song is brought to you from outer space with Anna Batson (Creativity & Learning Director / Music Leader). Fortunately we had a super powerful microphone that was able to pick up her singing from a zillion light years away.

....'Catch a Falling Star' was released in 1957, was written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss. It was made famous by Perry Como.

We'd love you to join in with the echoes in the final part (choose one to join in with) -
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
(catch a falling star and put it in your pocket)
Never let it fade away
(never let it fade away).
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
(catch a falling star and put it in your pocket),
Save it for a rainy day
(save it for a rainy day)...

To see more of Anna please listen to her playlist:

Here's Anna Batson, Plymouth Music Zone's Creativity & Learning Director / Music Leader, performs her version of the song in today's summer rain with 'Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head'.

There's always a silver lining within every cloud. The words of this song remind us that there's always reassurance to be found in music.
..."nothing's worrying me"...

The song was made famous in the 1969 film 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' and was written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach. No music leaders were harmed in the making of this video, but they did get soaked!
