dragonyphoenix: Francine from Strangers in Paradise (Francine)
I was listening to a local jazz station when I heard "bewitched" followed by "bothered". So I'm sitting there, waiting for "bewildered" and there it was. I had no idea that episode title came from a song!

Here are a couple of renditions. The first by Ella Fitzgerald and another by Silje Nergaard.

I saw a great light come down over London By Jay Ramsay


I saw a great light come down over London,
And buildings and cars and people were still
They were held wherever they were under the sky's
Clear humming radiance as it descended --
Everywhere, in shops, behind desks and on trains
Everything stopped as the stillness came down
And touched the crown of our heads
As our eyes closed, and the sky filled us
And our minds became the sky --
And everyone, regardless of crime class or creed
Was touched; as slowly we began to stir
Out of this penetrated light-filled sleep
Dizzily as the hand completed its dialing,
And the train lurched forward
And I saw faces looking at one another questioning,
I saw people meeting eye to eye and standing
Half amazed by each other's presence
I saw their mouths silently shaping the word why
Why didn't we know this? and yet knowing
They already knew, and without words
We all stood searching for the gesture
That would say it --

As the lights went green, and we drove on.
