More: www.billheigen.com Drowning Surrounded by a sea of skyscrapers The numbers are my frowning Time takes away my breath Every minute I am drowning The view from up here is gorgeous But I cannot see any beauty All I see is an Ocean of illusions In which greed makes life draggy Few people can realize That a smile is nothing more than teeth A hand-shake is nothing more than skin And on this Ocean of illusions we keep going Because we need to feed our fears And give birth to more problems That should not exist. I wish I could be stronger I wish I could be brave I wish I could have wings to fly away But I am just a fish Swimming to survive Waiting for the moment to die.  less

Individual song parts recorded by the choristers using their own equipment following lead videos made by our Director, Pierre. Pierre then put together the video using Final Cut Pro. A message from the Director: "Christmas 2020 is the first in our 43-year history where we haven’t been able to stage live concerts, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still sing. So, after planning, rehearsing and recording, we are proud to present All and Some, one selection from our Virtual Christmas Concert of 6 carols. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nstkQZ9-5Gs We hope you will enjoy our renditions of old favourites, some in new settings by our director, along with a few lesser known pieces from our carol archives. I cannot be more proud of my musical colleagues for forging through the complex logistics of putting these videos together. I thank them for their loyalty to our fans and their fellow choir members, and for their diligence ...    less

I am proud of my musical colleagues for putting these videos together. I thank them for their loyalty to our fans and their fellow choir members, and for their diligence in preparing individual performances to such a demanding degree of musicianship. We all share an understanding of how important it is right now to share the joy of song with the world. Joined by my wife Holly and all the members of the Stairwell Carollers, we wish you peace and joy this Christmas season. We will perform live for you once again soon.

We'll Play Our Part used with permission words and music by Paul Ayres © 2020 www.paulayres.co.uk Kaitlyn Janzen, soprano Tess Johnson, alto Dane Harder, tenor Nathan Bartel, bass Craig McLeish, piano Lyrics: We stay apart and we don't know for how long we have to sing alone But staying strong so more voices can join us in chorus one day soon. Though we're apart from everyone, we are a part of everything, and every day everyone in different ways and places is facing this difficult phase. So don't lose heart, let's make a start, let's make our art. We're here to stay, we're here to say we'll play our part. We stay afar and we can't see the ending; the future's still unknown. We still stay strong separated in space; not in spirit, not in song. Though we're apart from everyone, we are a part of everything, and every day everyone in different ways and places is facing this difficult phase. So don't lose hea...    less
