After the death of her father Pepin of Landen, Mayor of the Palace of the Kingdom of Austrasia, St. Gertrude's mother, St Itta of Metz, founded the Abbey of Nivelles in Belgium. St. Gertrude was the double monastery's first abbess.

" We are Siamese if you please.
We are Siamese if you don't please.
We are former residents of Siam.
There are no finer cats than we am."

I don't fully remember ' Woman in Love" when it was first released, but I feel like there are some bits that are vaguely familiar.
Listening to this song in full gave me goosebumps. The opening chords are full of Barry Gibb fingerprints...if not his entire hand. Even the breathy singing of Barbra Streisand is Barry Gibb. I can hear him singing ' Woman in Love' to her. So at this point he is over his elbows in this song. Then Barbra comes in with her fingerprints. Soaring vocals. There is a cry in her voice when she sings the chorus. This is where I get the goosebumps and teary eyed.
I hope you enjoy this week's Music Monday entry ' Woman in Love ' with lyrics.
