There is a song by Dar Williams called Mortal City. (If you don't know her I think you'll really like her) I tried to find it so you could hear it but I could only find a clip. http://darwilliams.net/music/mortalcity.html (I confess I didn't look very long)

Anyway the background of the story is a horrible icy storm and the city asks the city to shut off their power so the hospital could have it. Part of the lyrics reminds me of this.

"I think I have a special kind of hearing tonight,
I hear the neighbors upstairs, I hear my heart beating
I hear one thousand hearts beating in the hospital

and one thousand hearts by their bed side waiting,
saying, that's my love, in the white gown.

It's a beautiful part of the song.

That is beautiful! And it captures the moment perfectly. I will have to search her out - sometimes I have luck on YouTube. (Then, if I like them I'll go on to iTunes or whatnot.) Thanks!

She has a fair amount of stuff on youtube, sadly not this song, but I really think you'll like her.
