Roamin' In The Gloamin'
"Roamin' in the Gloamin' is a popular song written by Harry Lauder in 1911. The song tells of a man and his sweetheart wife courting in the evening ( gloaming). The title comes from the chorus: :Roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks o' Clyde. :Roamin' in the gloamin' wae my lassie by my side. :When the sun has gone to rest, :That's the time we love the best. The song was a hit for Lauder in both his music hall shows and his 1912 recording. It has been recorded numerous times since, including an updated version by Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney in their 1965 album ''That Travelin' Two-Beat''.

The Angel In The House (album)
''The Angel in the House'' is the second album by the folk-pop duo the Story, released in 1993. Critical reception ''The Boston Globe'' noted that "the album's 12 songs cover ground quickly, tripping through Latin-flavored upbeat pop, then reversing to dwell upon the inner questions that torment sufferers of eating disorders." ''The Washington Post'' wrote that "once again we find the duo's Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball mining a mostly dark vein of ballads, but the lyrics are more complex, the arrangements more sophisticated." ''The New York Times'' concluded that "both Ms. Brooke's lyrics and the album's moody jazz and Brazilian-flavored arrangements owe a debt to oniMitchell's late 1970's albums, especially ''Hejira''." AllMusic called the songs "beautifully arranged and well-orchestrated tale of longing, love, and/or loss."
