Time to Say Goodbye...


Time to Say Goodbye
Russell Watson & Hayley Westenra
from the new Russell Watson album
Outside In


This is from Russell Watson's newest album, Outside In. It was released last November in England and Europe. There has been no release in the U.S. as yet. I ordered the import from amazon.com.

There are no lyrics that I could find for his version with Hayley Westenra nor a video. I found the one above that someone put together with visuals from Phantom of the Opera.

For anyone not aware, Russell Watson was recording an album at the end of 2006, Love affair, in Los Angeles and became extremely ill with debilitating headaches and had to be rushed to the hospital. They discovered a brain tumor that was removed. A year later, the tumor returned having regrown and another surgery had to be performed along with radiotherapy. He spent time in rehab. He is scheduled to tour in the UK this summer.

The Love Affair album was not completed but was replaced with Outside In, as far as I could tell. You can find out more about Russell Watson and his voyage on his website - here.

The album entitled Love Affair that you refer to was actually released as That's Life in March 2007. It contains songs such as That's Life, Strangers in the Night and Smile.

I love your blog; it's a cultural 'center'.

I love Sarah Brightman singing this - I have the DVD of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA; enjoy it at least once a week.

Russell Watson has just about the finest voice since Mario Lanza who died at a young age, back in the 1950's.

Thank you for putting this video here; and all that you provide for your readers.
