The music was played by an orchestra in the ballet Beauty and The Beast which I saw performed yesterday.
The song was a favourite of mine - I remember listening to it on the radio as a youngster and being disappointed that it didn't reach no. 1

It was also used as the theme song in the film Babe back in, I think, 1995! But the tune itself originally comes from the "Organ Symphony" by the French composer Camille Saint-Saens (of "Carnival of the Animals" and "Danse Macabre" fame). The original version gets played on Classic FM a lot, but I have a feeling it wouldn't be nearly as well known today if it wasn't for the pop song version.
Edit: And having just read your other post about the ballet, Katharine, I can add that "the theme from Jonathan Creek", which you said was also used, is in fact "Danse Macabre"!

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

I've always liked 'If I Had Words' too - it's so uplifting.

Re: Last Song You Listened To
I love a few different versions of the Randy Newman song, Feels Like Home. This one is by Linda Ronstadt...

That's lovely. Linda Ronstadt has a beautiful voice.

At my age, it's not often I come across a Christmas Carol that I haven't heard before, but today at Christmas Mass we sang this:-

I absolutely love it, and hope it's something we'll sing again in the future.

Just re-watching Forrest Gump - not my favourite Tom Hanks film by any stretch, but he makes most films well worth watching. And the soundtrack includes some real quality songs, including...

She gods eyes soda bluish guy
Yeah you play full of pain
I hate to look into dogs eye
when see your life of shame
My leg and thigh meat is warm chew plates
and hair is aye aye aye
My breads for a dundaw and a raise
They kwai basket bye aye
Ooooh, ow, ow, sweet chide o mine
Ah, ow ow ow, sweet chide o mine
She gives eye soda bluish guy, aye
You dig torda pay
I hate to look into dog solid
See alive a same
But every night we have a one two brace
Say every Todd is high
I paged for a dundaw and a plaze
They quietly task me by
Wow, ow ow, sweet tide of mine
Wah--ow, ow , ow street light of mine...
