Like it Pam – well done for listening to that song. Its a great one – but as you hint: Jesus is the Man Who Came Back, never to go away again. Hallelujah

Yes it is possible we will still hear a voice that is pharisaic telling us to restrict the things we read, listen or follow but we recognise a shepherd’s voice and not that of a stranger, praise His name!!I haven’t seen a star is born (in fact none of the versions) but I can get a bit carried away and perhaps too involved in certain dramas, etc and so I try to manage what I watch a bit just for self protection!! BTW Judy Garland was in one of those versions and her song The Man that Got Away is fantastic. I read a book by Mel Torme (The Other Side of the Rainbow) and he worked with Judy on her TV show 1962-3 and said how difficult it could be working with her as she was so talented yet unpredictable and her own worst enemy. The book is about that period.
“Now thanks be to God who gives us al things richly to enjoy!” (bit of a paraphrase there!!) God bless

I came to this via the youtube link to Darin’s artificial flowers performance (late in career I notice) and decided to have a look at your link. It intrigued me as I thought she seems to be a woman of faith. And not only that it seems to me you value much that our God has created – not just “religious things” but creative, musical and artistic effort. I value this too as I see God at work in it. Darin had a marvellous way of adding energy to an established mellow song and bring a real power to it, largely through his own wonderful energy. I would have liked to see him – had he not passed away sadly – do so much more, not just song but also more acting. He’s have been a great Columbo guest star (ie villain). But I also enjoyed your link between the flower girl and the Song of Songs. Thanks very much, and I’m so glad you came out of a restrictive religion to the freedom we have in Christ. I think this is a constant challenge and danger we face but there is always a voice speaking to us “this is the way, walk ye in it! God bless
