Talk:My Love (Petula Clark song)

Citation needed tag[edit]

I've tagged the statement that Jackie Trent wrote the lyrics for "My Love" after Tony Hatch hummed her its melody over the phone, Hatch having written the music while on a flight. I have extensively researched Petula Clark's hits and accounts of the composition of "My Love" consistently state that Hatch himself wrote the song's lyrics while in flight and that he completed the music after landing. I've seen no mention of Jackie Trent being connected to the composition of "My Love" or indeed any allegation that she had a hand in writing any of the Tony Hatch songs other than those she's credited on.--Cherrylimerickey (talk) 01:12, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Unreferenced Item[edit]

I have removed the unreferenced section about Clark being reluctant to release "My Love". A fairly extensive search on the net and on Google Books reveals nothing prior to 2000 about Clark's reluctance. The only mention I could find is in "On this day in music history", By Jay Warner:

http://books.google.com.au/books?id=-vpcsdAEMc0C&pg=PA37&dq=%22my+love%22+petula+clark+disliked&hl=en&ei=Gr1ITYyrNofwvwOW3cGmBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22my%20love%22%20petula%20clark%20disliked&f=false

where it says:

"Although Petula Clarke disliked and tried to sabotage the release of "My Love", her label prevailed."

That quote sounds suspect. An artist may dislike a recording, but how/why would they sabotage the release? The whole idea, to me, smacks or urban legend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guyburns (talk • contribs) 02:49, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added Clark's own comments on her not caring for the song.--Cherrylimerickey (talk) 01:12, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greek Christian hymn[edit]

For whatever reason, there is a Protestant hymn in Greece (known as «Κάποια μέρα άκουσα για το Χριστό») that uses the melody of “My Love”. Should we mention this? Hellenophile07 (talk) 22:27, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly, the lyrics of the hymn seemed to have been inspired by the words and phraseology of “My Love”:

«Κάποια μέρα άκουσα για το Χριστό, πίστεψα πως πέθανε για μένα. Η καρδιά μου τότε γέμισε χαρά, κι η ζωή μου άλλαξε βαθιά.

(Chorus) Κι από τον ήλιο πιο ζεστή είν’ η αγάπη του Θεού, και πιο βαθιά από τις θάλασσες και τους ωκεανούς. Είναι ασύγκριτη, απέραντη και τόσο δυνατή, είν’ η αγάπη του Θεού μοναδική.

Τι χαρά κι εσύ να έρθεις στο Χριστό! Πλήρωσε τη λύτρωση με αίμα για να έχεις τώρα μέσα στην καρδιά την αλήθεια και τη λευτεριά. Είναι ο Χριστός μεγάλο μυστικό, τόσο φωτεινό κι αληθινό ! Σβήνει τα παλιά, συντρίβει τα δεσμά, φέρνει την ειρήνη στην καρδιά.

Θά ‘θελες κι εσύ να έχεις το Χριστό; Είν’ Αυτός που τόσο σ’ αγαπάει. Ζήτησε Του να ‘ρθει μέσα στην καρδιά. Θα σου φέρει λύτρωση, χαρά. Hellenophile07 (talk) 22:32, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
