Sing Another Song, Boys

You're correct, Roman! - It was the hint about the manicures, wasn't it?

Thanks, Hartmut! That's a good one - I especially like the moment of space exploration

Thanks, Roman.

Another song:

A name, a request, a glass, a colour, a season - in this particular order.

Hi Roman,

That would be "Dear Heather."

(The simplicity and succinctness of the song's lyrics may remind people
of William Carlos Williams' poem "The Red Wheelbarrow." Of course, this
has nothing to do with the question.)

Surely you are right, Steven

Hi,

Two songs utilize words that appear in the Book of Ruth (King James Version). One
of the songs is written by L.C., The other is covered by him. Please name the songs.

Whither thou goest I will go

1. Ballad of the Absent Mare
2. Whither Thou Goest

Hi Roman,

You are correct.

Hi,

A Latin phrase recently entered into this thread. Just came across another one elsewhere.
It reminded me of the content of a Leonard Cohen song and thought that it could have made
for a good alternate title for the song, despite (or maybe because of) its being Latin (and not
a language that's spoken often nowadays). So, here's the phrase: "carpe noctem." Please
name the song.

Hey, I was just about to post a new quiz!

Ok, my first guess is, of course, Tonight Will Be Fine

Another riddle that needs to be solved: Why "Hermitage Prisoner"? - If I may ask.

Hi Roman,

Good guess, though that's not the one. You are on the right track as "Tonight Will Be Fine"
and the song under current search involve the evening.

I thought "Tonight Will Be Fine" was the perfect answer ...

But maybe you mean one of these:

- "EVERYBODY KNOWS"
"give or take a night or two"

- "SLOW"
"I thought we had all night"

- "THE FUTURE"
"Give me back my broken night"
