Foreigner - Luanne

 
Luanne, Luanne
Why do you run and hide?
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

I wait around for you after school
You slip away and I don't see you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
If you can't see how much I need you
We met, one day, and then, you ran away
I've searched the whole town looking for you
I know you're there somewhere

Luanne, Luanne
Why do you run and hide?
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

I write letters that I never send
I keep the words to whisper to you someday
I don't know where and I don't know when
Luanne I'm gonna get to you someway
I want to feel your love so close to me
Give me just half a chance
To prove myself, I need to

Luanne, Luanne
Why do you run and hide?
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

These days true love is so hard to find
Someday I know you're gonna be mine
Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, ooh

Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
Why do you run and hide?
Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

Luanne, Luanne
Don't need to run and hide
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
I wanna be beside you, can't you understand?
Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
Give me a little love, I know you can
Luanne, Luanne
Can't you hear me calling?
Luanne 

 

Toto - Africa (Up!)

 
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had 

 

Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong

 
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I?)
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything 'til I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

The Clash - London Calling

 
London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river

Now get this...

London calling, yes, I was there too
And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling...

I never felt so much alike alike alike alike... 
Keir Starmer: "Er...you mentioned Canada - I think you're trying to find a divide between us that doesn't...er... exist. We're the closest of nations. We had very good discussions today...er....but we didn't discuss Canada...
Donald Trump: "That's enough! Thank you."

Sia - Saved My Life

 
Boom, boom, boom
Beats my heart, heart, heart
Baby boom, boom, boom
In the dark, dark, dark
Baby boom, boom, boom
Fall apart, part, part
Baby boom, boom, boom
From the start, start, start

But I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
Yeah, I've been waiting for you

Well someone must have sent you here to save my life
Someone must have sent you to save me tonight
I know that in darkness I have found my light
I know that in darkness I've been given sight
In your loving arms I feel delight
In your loving arms I'll be alright
Someone must have sent you to save me tonight
Someone must have sent you here to save my life

Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life

High, high, high
We take flight, flight, flight
Baby high, high, high
Touch the sky, sky, sky
Baby high, high, high
Diamond nights, nights, nights
Baby, high, high, high
'Cause love don't lie, lie, lie

I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you

Well someone must have sent you here to save my life
Someone must have sent you to save me tonight
I know that in darkness I have found my light
I know that in darkness I've been given sight
In your loving arms I feel delight
In your loving arms I'll be alright
Someone must have sent you to save me tonight
Someone must have sent you here to save my life

Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life

Save my life, save my life
Save my life (Someone must have sent you here to...)
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
You saved my life

I Prevail - Alone (Up!)

 
We used to have it all
It was us against the world, but now
I’ve been sleeping on my own
Spending all these nights alone knowing you’re not coming home

Cause you’re running through my dreams
It’s like you’re on repeat
Feels like eternity, and I can’t believe

I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone

You left me all alone

I would’ve gave it all
Truth be told I can’t believe you’re gone
Like a dream I can’t recall
Now I gotta face the fact that you’re never coming back

Cause you’re running through my dreams
It’s like you’re on repeat
Feels like eternity, and I can’t believe

I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
You used to run, run through my veins
And to be honest, I know I’ll never be the same
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone

You left me all alone

I see you in my dreams
I can’t believe you’re gone
When it’s too dark to see
I’ll leave the light on
I’ll leave the light on
I’ll leave the light on
When it’s too dark to see

I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
You used to run, run through my veins
And to be honest, I know I’ll never be the same
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone 



Nightwish - High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover)

 
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

"Hey?"
"Yes."
"Is that Charlie?"
"Yes."
"Hello, Charlie!"
"Great."

Bruce Springsteen - Tougher Than the Rest (Up!)

 
Well, it's Saturday night
You're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
Maybe you been watching me, too
So somebody ran out
Left somebody's heart in a mess
Well, if you're looking for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls, they want a handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin' Joe on their arm
Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well, 'round here, baby
I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

The road is dark
And it's a thin thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other boyfriends
Couldn't pass the test
Well, if you're rough and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

Well, it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well, I don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well, there's another dance
All you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love
Baby, I'm tougher than the rest

Кукала Гергьовден.

Liebe

 

Wenn ich weiß, was Liebe ist, dann wegen dir.

Hermann Hesse

Legião Urbana - Ainda É Cedo

 

Uma menina me ensinou
Quase tudo que eu sei
Era quase escravidão
Mas ela me tratava como um rei

Ela fazia muitos planos
Eu só queria estar ali
Sempre ao lado dela
Eu não tinha aonde ir

Mas egoísta que eu sou
Me esqueci de ajudar
A ela como ela me ajudou
E não quis me separar

Ela também estava perdida
E por isso se agarrava a mim também
E eu me agarrava a ela
Porque eu não tinha mais ninguém

E eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
E eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
Ah, eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
Ah, eu dizia: Ainda é cedo

Sei que ela terminou
O que eu não comecei
E o que ela descobriu
Eu aprendi também, eu sei

Ela falou: Você tem medo
Aí eu disse: Quem tem medo é você
Falamos o que não devia
Nunca ser dito por ninguém

Ela me disse: Eu não sei
Mais o que eu sinto por você
Vamos dar um tempo
Um dia a gente se vê

E eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
E eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
Ah, eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
Ah, eu dizia: Ainda é cedo

Bríet - Djúp Sár Gróa Hægt

 

Manstu fyrst flugtakið,
manstu fyrsta snertingin,
kossinn uppi‘ á þaki,
nóttin horfði grafkyrr.

Manstu þunga sorgin,
Manstu‘ öll ljótu orðin,
ég meinti ekkert af því,
ég var týnd og alein.

Hvort stingur meira að
halda‘ í það sem var
eða kveðja og sleppa,
spyr en hef ekker svar.

Tvö þúsund tár
sem ég valdi sjálf,
ég gekk í burt
þegar við þurftum hjálp.
Reyni‘ að segja sjálfri mér
við hefðum ekkert geta gert
en það eina sem ég á eftir er minningin og sektarkennd
og djúp sár sem að gróa hægt.

Endalausar hugsanir,
hvað var það sem truflaði?
Get ég farið til baka?
Ný orð og önnur saga.

En hvað myndi breytast ef
að ég tæki mig til og ég sneri aftur við?
Spyr en hef ekkert svar.

Tvö þúsund tár
sem ég valdi sjálf,
ég gekk í burt
þegar við þurftum hjálp.
Reyni‘ að segja sjálfri mér
við hefðum ekkert geta gert
en það eina sem ég á eftir er minningin og sektarkennd
og djúp sár sem að gróa hægt.

Ásgeir ft. Bríet - Dýrð í Dauðaþögn

 

Tak mína hönd
lítum um öxl, leysum bönd
Frá myrkri martröð sem draugar vagg’ og velta
lengra, lægra, oft vilja daginn svelta

Stór, agnarögn
oft er dýrð í dauðaþögn
Í miðjum draumi sem heitum höndum vefur
lengra, hærra á loft nýjan dag upphefur

Finnum hvernig hugur fer
frammúr sjálfum sér
Og allt sem verður, sem var og sem er
núna

Knúið á dyr
og uppá gátt sem aldrei fyrr
Úr veruleika sem vissa ver og klæðir
svengra, nær jafnoft dýrðardaginn fæðir


 


Espoir déçu

 

Les familles, l'été venu, se dirigent vers la mer en y emmenant leurs enfants, dans l'espoir, souvent déçu, de noyer les plus laids.

Alphonse Allais


Black Label Society - In This River Live (Up!)

 
I've been around this world
Yet I see no end
All shall fade to black again and again
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

Withdrawn I step away
Just to find myself
The door is closed again
The only one left
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back 



David Gilmour ft. Romany Gilmour - Between Two Points

 
Broke an early promise
Put trust in an unknown
Fell headlong into the arms
Of the first that stirred me

Unsteadied a steady heart
And took me to a place I've never been
A place I've never been since

Stopped hoping at an early age
Stopped guessing at an early age
Start accepting things from day one
And then things can't go too wrong

Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They're right, you're wrong

And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

And when the sky begins to fall
The blame - all along in you - is yours
Wakes you with a fever at five
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost

And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They're right, you're wrong 

 

Ray Wilson ft. Marika Wilson - Voices

 
 
When I close my eyes I hear your voices
Whispering and touching at my soul
Inspiration coming from your voices
Many things that I would never know

It became much more than simply choices
Trust in something greater than myself
Peace is only earned by taking chances
Find a way to be somebody else

Saving us from being lonely
Feeling love, is the only way
 
When I close my eyes I hear your voices
Whispering and touching at my soul
Inspiration coming from your voices
Many things that I would never know

It became much more than simply choices
Trust in something greater than myself
Peace is only earned by taking chances
Find a way to be somebody else

Saving us from being lonely

Martika - Love...Thy Will Be Done

 
Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
No longer can I resist Your guiding light
That gives me the power to keep up the fight

Oh Lord, Love... Thy will be done
Since I have found U, my life has just begun
And I see all of Your creations as one perfect complex
No one less beautiful or more special than the next
We are all blessed and so wise to accept
Thy will, Love, be done

Love... Thy will be mine
And make me strive for the glorious and divine
I could not be more, more satisfied (Satisfied)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside
And that why I no longer run (I no longer run)
Love... Thy will be done

Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh Love... Thy will be done
Thy will, Love, be done

Oh, no longer can I resist (No)
The guiding light (Guiding light)
The light that gives me power to keep up the fight
I couldn't be more satisfied (No)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there is peace inside
And that's why I can no longer run
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
Oh!

Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh Love... Thy will be done
Thy will, Love, be done

Oh Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh Love... Thy will be done (Sing it)
Thy will, Love, be done (Glory, glory, glory)
Thy will, Love, be done (Glory)
Thy will, Love, be done
