Alicia Keys – No One Video
I love the latest hit from Alicia Keys. I am looking forward to her next album and I am sure that it will be as good as the others. She is so beautiful.
And below you will find the lyrics:
J. Holiday – Bed Video
And below you will find the lyrics:
The Verve – Bitter Sweet Symphony
I first heard this song in a weird but interesting movie named Cruel Intentions in 1999. On the other hand I really did not start digging this song until recently. Adam pointed the lyrics out to me, then I listened to the song. Wonderful song. Check out the Wiki for some interesting facts and history behind this song.
‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you’re a slave to the money then you die
I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can’t change, I can’t change, I can’t change,
but I’m here in my mold , I am here in my mold
But I’m a million different people from one day to the next
I can’t change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
Well, I’ve never prayed,
But tonight I’m on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there’s nobody singing to me now
No change, I can’t change, I can’t change, I can’t change,
but I’m here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I’m a million different people from one day to the next
I can’t change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can’t change, I can’t change…)
(Ooooohhhhh…)
‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die
I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know I can’t change, I can’t change, I can’t change,
but I’m here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I’m a million different people from one day to the next
Lenny Kravitz – It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over
My brother and I used to jam to this song together all the time. We had remote controls in our hand like they were microphones.
Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love
So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many gears we’ve tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering
If I’d always be in love
So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many gears we’ve tried
And kept our love alive
‘Cause baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many gears we’ve tried
And kept our love alive
‘Cause baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many gears we’ve tried
And kept our love alive
‘Cause baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over (over, over)
So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many gears we’ve tried
And kept our love alive
‘Cause baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over (over, over, over)
So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over (over…fade out)

Best Day Ever At My Job But…
Today was probably the best day that I have ever had at my job. I found out some fantastic news about an issue I helped with an employee.
But it feels like I do not have someone to share the moment with.
Oh well.
Must sleep soon.
I am looking forward to my trip next week.
Somehow this song captures the moment for me. Madonna – What It Feels Like For A Girl:
(Spoken:)
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
‘Cause it’s OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
‘Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you’d love to know what it’s like
Wouldn’t you
What it feels like for a girl
Silky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy, baby
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches
Strong inside but you don’t know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak
Chorus:
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl
Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting
Hurt that’s not supposed to show
And tears that fall when no one knows
When you’re trying hard to be your best
Could you be a little less
(chorus)
(chorus, prefixing 3rd line with “What it feels like”)
Strong inside but you don’t know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak
(chorus, repeat)
In this world
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
What it feels like in this world

What is your favorite Bob Marley song?
No Woman No Cry
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.Said – said – said: I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown,
Oba – obaserving the ypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet.
Good friends we have, oh, good friends weve lost
Along the way.
In this great future, you cant forget your past;
So dry your tears, I seh.No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
ere, little darlin, dont shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry.Said – said – said: I remember when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown.
And then georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin through the nights.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which Ill share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So Ive got to push on through.
But while Im gone, I mean:
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!
I said, everythings gonna be all right-a!
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right, now!
Everythings gonna be all right!So, woman, no cry;
No – no, woman – woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, dont shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown.
And then georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin through the nights.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which Ill share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So Ive got to push on through.
But while Im gone:No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
Woman, little darlin, say dont shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.Eh! (little darlin, dont shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister, dont shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.)
You’re Going to Love Me
I am very surprised that JT and I were able to see two movies in three days. On Friday we saw Stomp the Yard and this evening we saw Dreamgirls. I enjoyed both movies, but I have to admit that I enjoyed Dreamgirls more. Jennifer Hudson really did an outstanding job in the drama musical. Musicals are generally not my thing but every moment of Dreamgirls had me alert and connected with the development of each charcter.
Of course the highlight of the movie for me was Hudson singing, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” JT and I had no choice other than to applaud Hudson after she put it down. Several other people throughout the theatre were clapping as well. I truly hope that Hudson wins an Oscar this year.
Jennifer Holiday- And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going
And I am telling you I’m not going
You’re the best man I’ll ever know
There’s no way I can ever go
No no no, no way
No no no, no way I’m living without you
I’m not living without you
I don’t want to be free
I’m staying, I’m staying
And you, and you, you’re gonna love me
You’re gonna love me
And I am telling you I’m not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There’s just no way, there’s no way
We’re part of the same place
We’re part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time, we have so much to share
No no no, no no no
I’m not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there’s nobody there
Darling, there’s no way,
No no no, no way I’m living without you
I’m not living without you
You see, there’s just no way
There’s no way
Tear down the mountains,
Yell, scream and shout
And you can say what you want
I’m not walking out
Stop all the rivers,
Push, strike, and kill
I’m not gonna leave you
Song of the Moment
I dig this song a lot. Very relaxing and romantic.
Kem- I Can’t Stop Loving You
[Verse 1:]
I think about the day I met the perfect stranger, I think about us.
And I think about the day I got wrapped around your fingers, I think about us.
The sun was shinning on you
The lord was smiling on me
And love was calling us I had my mind made up.
[Chorus:]
And I can’t stop loving you
I can’t help myself
And I can’t get over you
No matter what I tell myself baby.
[Verse 2:]
Never thought I’d ever love any one else in my weakness, I think about us.
And I think about the day you left without speaking, I think about us.
I think about the love we had for our children, I think about us.
I think about the way we laughed without a reason, I think about us girl.
There will be no more lies
Somebody tell me why I feel like I’m dying.
Lord what’s come over me
Ohh baby can’t you see
[Chorus:]
That I can’t stop loving you
I can’t help myself
And I can’t get over you
No matter what I tell myself baby
Yea Yea
I can’t stop loving you (stop loving you girl)
No matter how hard I try
And I can’t get over you baby
And I don’t know why
I think about us [x7]
Ooooohh, baby.
I can’t get over you!
Oh yea, baby.
Mmmmmmm, Girl.
What am I gonna do?
Oooooooh, baby.
I think about – the love we had.
I think about the way you laugh.
Mmmmm, girl, hey – hey.
I can’t get over you!
I can’t stop missing you baby,
I can’t stop wanting you baby,
I can’t stop loving you
GIRL-erl-erl
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
I can’t get over you!
I can’t stop missing you girl,
I can’t stop feeling you girl.
I can’t stop thinking bout you!
I can’t stop dreaming bout you
I can’t stop loving you girl.
Daniel Powter – Bad Day
Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. I have been listening to this one a lot lately and of course it is on my ArdiPod:
Daniel Powter – Bad Day
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion’s gone away
And I don’t need no carryin’ on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You’re faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life’s been way off line
You’re falling to pieces every time
And I don’t need no carryin’ on
Because you had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don’t need no carryin’ on
You had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
(Oooh.. a holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I’m not wrong
(yeah…)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You’ve seen what you like
And how does it
feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
