Does anyone know the singer?The song was the Van Morrison song 'Days Like These'. It was beautiful. Sounded a bit like James Taylor.

I've tried AI but I am obviously not asking the right questions.

It's Dermot Kennedy.

Yes, it was beautiful, but I think I prefer the Van Morrison version.

It’s a Country track by Luke Combs.

Thank you Oreo. I’ve just listened on YouTube. What a beautiful song by Luke Combs. It’s so true and made an old bird like me shed a tear. 🥲

Talking of shedding a tear, does anyone know the Richard Thompson song 'The Dimming of the Day' ?
I recently discovered it and listened to a few versions of it before deciding that the Richard Thompson duet with Bonnie Raitt was the most beautiful.
Such a wonderful song.

Me too, LadyGaga. Was struck by it during Wimbledon, lovely to listen to it properly with bluetooth.
Such apt words for the tennis, too.
