This song seemed to change alot in a short period of time. Does anybody have/know the history of the song? -------------- A second in heaven's worth a whole life's trouble and trial Back to top

Instead, in the CD's version there are the two songs: "Islands" sung by Bonnie Tyler and "When the night's on fire" sung by Anita Hegerland. I don't know if there are other versions of this theme.

Hope this helps... -------------- Rejoignez la Tubular Mailing List francophone ! http://www.tubular.free.fr/tubular.php Back to top

I still hope somebody can enlighten me as to how this song evolved. -------------- A second in heaven's worth a whole life's trouble and trial Back to top
