I'm curious about the song Grateful Heart. Is it available only on YT? I couldn't find it on any Libera CD. It is not even listed on mavi's list (http://www.libera-songs.de/)

I remember that it was sung in 2012 on their Channel Islands tour TDL if I remember correctly. Josh also sang Faithful Heart on the same set list and he must have been 16 at the time.
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.

Well, Jay_S mentioned Grateful Heart and NOT Faithful Heart. That's why I am asking, as the song Grateful Heart doesn't seem to be on any Libera CD. I have just found the same YT video as posted by TullyBascombe:

@Jay_S - you mean Grateful Heart, don't you? Where do you know it from? Only from YT?

It's interesting, why the song isn't included on any Libera CD.

Yes andmar. I did mean "Grateful Heart". I have not seen that song anyplace other than YouTube.

That being said, "Faithful Heart" is another beautiful song

I believe "Grateful Heart" was first on a concert set list for the 2012 Singapore/Tokyo tour. It was sung by Stefan. I was there for the Tokyo performances but I cannot say that I remember much about it. Thereafter it was performed on several tours through 2012 and 2013 by TDL and Michael U-R singing alternate verses. When listing highlights of the Taiwan tour I wrote: "Tom's final note in 'Grateful Heart' - how can he hold it for so long and so effortlessly".

Also wrote: "At the signing sessions several of the boys would ask "Which was your favourite song". There seemed to be some sort of competition going on. Whether this was like a horse race and each had tried to pick a winner or they were rooting for their own solo, I don't know.
After some deliberation, I picked "Grateful Heart" as the photo-finish winner between it and "The Moon Represents my Heart".
This was greeted with a "Yesssss!!!" from Tom but with a sigh of disappointment from Michael U-R, which leaves me no wiser as they share the honours for "Grateful Heart".

I would definitely like to see it make a concert comeback and perhaps be recorded - but who of the current members should be the soloist(s)?

Thank you Yorkie and john45.
It is a beautiful song indeed.
I wonder now, if there are more songs like this one - sung in concerts, but not recorded on any CD.
