Mother Of Mine On Cd

[Bluegirl1]

I am looking for the song Mother of mine on CD do you know where I can get a copy of it please as we want to play it our mum's funeral

[andy-hughes]

It looks as though the song is not actually on a CD - nothing that i could find anyway.

If there is time, contact the ED, ask for my e-mail, contact me with your address, I'll burn a copy to CD and send it to you.

It’s on youtube; you could download it and burn it to CD.

The CD s I mentioned have a track "Mother o'mine", an old song (words by Kipling) so may not be the song you are looking for.

Does it got to be the Neil Reed version?

Out of interest burning music from youtube to CD (via laptop I'm guessing?)- is it decent quality? There is a live performance on youtube I listen to loads but cannot find it on any other media or any album. This would be a solution but no point if it's poor sound.

Have you asked the funeral director or the people where the funeral is to be held if they have it? They often keep a large selection of music that’s likely to be requested at funerals.

>>> Out of interest burning music from youtube to CD . . . is it decent quality?

It's of the same quality as the MP3 file that you burn it from, Prudie. The first step in the process of getting it from YouTube to a CD is to extract the audio from it to the MP3 file that you require. There are lots of ways to do that, including using online websites, with some ways possibly offering slightly better quality than others. (It depends upon the compression standard that's used by the software or website that you employ for the task). However, in the vast majority of cases, the audio that you end up with on a CD will sound just the same as it does on YouTube. (That, in turn, depends upon the quality of the audio that was selected by the person who uploaded the YouTube file in the first place).

Most funeral directors should be able to use an MP3 file that's been downloaded to a USB memory stick. In case it helps Bluegirl1, I've extracted the audio from Hymie's link above, using the best available audio quality, and then uploaded it to here for her:

The song was also recorded by Little Jimmy Osmond (as a double A- side with Long-Haired Lover from Liverpool). I've uploaded that version to here:

[Stream-ripping is, of course, illegal. I only do it where the music that I want to download isn't readily available commercially].

BTW, if I'd have had Mother of Mine played at my own mother's funeral, I feel sure that she'd have haunted me until the end of my days! She absolutely detested it ;-)

hayley westenra has a version, which you can find on the cd Hayley Sings Japanese Songs 2.
