and takes a lot of work, 

and takes a little patience, 

and it takes a lot of love, 

to keep your dreams alive...♪♫

Hail! Bright Cecilia

Saint Cecilia with an Angel by Orazio Gentileschi

"Hail! Bright Cecilia, Hail to thee!

Great Patroness of Us and Harmony!
Who, whilst among the Choir above
Thou dost thy former Skill improve,
With Rapture of Delight dost see
Thy Favourite Art
Make up a Part
Of infinite Felicity.
Hail! Bright Cecilia, Hail to thee!
Great Patroness of Us and Harmony!"

It Can't Rain All The Time

by Jane Siberry

We walked the narrow path,
beneath the smoking skies.
Sometimes you can barely tell the difference
between darkness and light.
Do you have faith
in what we believe?
The truest test is when we cannot,
when we cannot see.

I hear pounding feet in the,
in the streets below, and the,
and the women crying and the,
and the children know that there,
that there's something wrong,
and it's hard to belive that love will prevail.

Oh, when I'm lonely,
I lie awake at night
and I wish you were here.
I miss you.
Can you tell me
is there something more to belive in?
Or is this all there is?

Last night I had a dream.
You came into my room,
you took me into your arms.
Whispering and kissing me,
and telling me to still belive.
But then the emptiness of a burning sea against which we see
our darkest of sadness.

Until I felt safe and warm.
I fell asleep in your arms.
When I awoke I cried again for you were gone.
Oh, can you hear me?

It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall,
your tears won't fall
forever.

Caledonia

by Dougie MacLean

I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I've come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today

Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the fellas and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher
They've withered, now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When hands have shaken, the kisses float
Then I will disappear

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Happy Sain't Andrews Day!

John McDermott version lyrics:

Let Italy boast of her gay gilded waters, Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies, Her sons drinking love from the eyes of her daughters, Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs.

Scotland's blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piled,Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me,Land of the misty cloud land of the tempest loud,Land of the brave and proud land of the free.

Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains,The spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free,Her green tartan waving o'er blue rock and fountain,And proudly she sings looking over the sea.

Here among my mountains wild I have serenely smiled, When armies and empires against me were hurled, Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock, Of England, of Denmark, of Rome and the world.

But see how proudly her war steeds are prancing, Deep groves of steel trodden down in their path, The eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancing, Triumphantly riding through ruin and death.

Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs, Deep-dyed in gore is the green tartan's wave, Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheel, Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.

Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs, Deep-dyed in gore is the green tartan's wave, Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheel, Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.

Labios Rotos (Broken Lips) by ZOE

Regalame tu corazón y dejame entrar
a ese lugar,  donde nacen las flores
donde nace el amor.

entregame tus labios rotos lo quiero besar,
los quiero curar, los voy a cuidar
con todo mi amor...
es raro el amor aaah es raro el amor aaah
que se te aparece cuando menos piensas.
es raro el amor aaah es raro el amor aaah
no importa la distancia, ni el tiempo ni la edad!

Moja el desierto de mi alma con tu mirar,
con tu tierna voz, con tu mano en mi mano
por la eternidad...

Y entregame esos labios rotos lo quiero besar,
los quiero curar, los voy a cuidar
con todo mi amor...

es raro el amor aaah es raro el amor aaah
que se te aparece cuando menos piensas. 

-----------------------------------------------------------

Give me your heart and let me in
to that place , where the flowers are born
where love is born.

Give me your broken lips I wanna kiss them,
I want to heal them, I will care for them
with all my love ...

love is rare aaah aaah love is rare
which appears when you least think.
love is rare aaah aaah love is rare
no matter the distance, the time or age!

Soak the desert of my soul with your look,
with your tender voice, with your hand in my hand
for eternity ...

And give me those broken lips i want to kiss them,
I want to heal them, I will care for them
with all my love ...

love is rare aaah aaah love is rare
which appears when you least think.

Positively 4th Street

by Bob Dylan



You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend 
When I was down, you just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve to say you gotta helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that's winning 

You say I let you down, you know it's not like that 
If you're so hurt why then don't you show it? 
You say you lost your faith but that's not where it's at 
You have no faith to lose and you know it 

I know the reason that you talk behind my back 
I used to be among the crowd you're in with 
Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact 
With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with?

You see me on the street, you always act surprised
You say, "How are you? Good luck," but you don't mean it 
When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed 
Why don't you just come out once and scream it? 

No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place 
Don't you understand, it's not my problem 

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes 
And just for that one moment, I could be you 
Yes, I wish that for just one time, you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you.

Oh Johnny... dear Johnny Cash!

♪♫ Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
...
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line♪♫

41 years after...

Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970)

"If I Can Dream"

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

Imagine

♪ ♫Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one♪ ♫

COOL

by Gwen Stefani.

It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life...
Passes things get more comfortable
Everything is going right

And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain

Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles, and now we're hangin' out with your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool

Loba

~ Shakira ~

Sigilosa al pasar
Sigilosa al pasarEsa loba es especialMirala, caminar caminar

Quién no ha querido a una diosa licántropa
En el ardor de una noche romantica
Mis aullidos son el llamado
Yo quiero un lobo domesticado
Por fin he encontrado un remedio infalible que borre del todo la culpa
No pienso quedarme a tu lado mirando la tele y oyendo disculpas
la vida me ha dado un hambre voráz y tu apenas me das caramelos
Me voy con mis piernas y mi juventúd por ahí aunque te maten los celos

Una loba en el armario
Tiene ganas de salir
Deja que se coma el barrio
Antes de irte a dormir

Tengo tacones de aguja magnetica
Para dejar a la manada frenetica
La luna llena como una fruta
No da consejos ni los escucha
Llevo conmigo un radar especial para localizar solteros
Si acaso me meto en aprietos tambien llevo el número de los bomberos
ni tipos muy lindos ni divos ni niños ricos yo se lo que quiero
pasarla muy bien y portarme muy mal en los brazos de algún caballero

Una loba en el armario
Tiene ganas de salir
Deja que se coma el barrio
Antes de irte a dormir

Cuando son casi la una la loba en celo saluda a la luna
Duda si andar por la calle o entrar en un bar a probar fortuna
Ya está sentada en su mesa y pone la mira en su proxima presa
Pobre del desprevenido que no se esperaba una de esas

Sigilosa al pasar
Sigilosa al pasar
Esa loba es especial
Mirala caminar, caminar

Deja que se coma el barrio
Antes de irte a dormir

A Place In My Heart.

I saw her today,
Oh God I miss her smile.
A pleasant memory
Of things in life worthwhile.

We used to walk and we used to talk
We used laugh and we used to cry
And there will always be a place in my heart for her.

I thought of her today,
Of years together spent.
A pleasant memory
Of places that we went.

Please Don't Leave Me

BY PINK

Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da
Da da da, da da

I don't know if I can yell any louder
How many times I've kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?

I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces
But my heart is broken
Da da da, da da

Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty
Da da da, da da

Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
I mean it, I promise
Da da da, da da

Please don't leave me
Oh please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this

I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I cannot be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry

Use Somebody

by Kings of Leon

I've been roaming around
i was looking down at all i see
painted faces, building places i can't reach

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody

someone like you
and all you know
and how you speak
countless lovers undercover of the street

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody
someone like you
off in the night,
while you live it up
i'm off to sleep
waging wars
to shake the poet and the beat

i hope it's going to make you notice
i hope it's going to make you notice
someone like me 

No One

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alrightPeople keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Memories

Estaba escuchando esta canción de Belanova, y me trae a la mente tantos recuerdos...
últimamente he tenido sueños que se repiten y se repiten; y me llenan de incertidumbre, y mi cabeza empieza a preguntarse el porqué de tantas cosas!
Quisiera hacer algunas cosas... y al final llego a la misma conclusión... ¿Para Qué?
No tiene caso!
salu2 a todos

CADA QUE

Siento que

desde aquel momento en que te vi

descifre que nunca serias para mi

que talves conocerte fue mi error

o quizas el amor se equivocoy cada que pienso en ti

se enciende mi corazon

y.. Nada es mas triste que hoy

hablar de ti...

siento que...

tu me cortas la respiracion

cada vez que te acercas solo un poco a mi

que talves conocerte fue mi error

o quizas el amor se equivoco

y...cada que pienso en ti

se enciende mi corazon

y...nada es mas triste que hoy

hablar de ti...

pero esta historia tiene que parar

no entiendo esto de verdad

no tiene caso esta situacion

porque esto es tan ilogico

y...cada que pienso en ti

se enciende mi corazon

y...nada es mas triste que hoy

hablar de ti..

hablar de ti..

hablar de ti..

hablar de ti.

No se Mañana

by Rosana

De algo estoy segura
hoy no siento lo mismo
a veces dudo si mi corazon
te ha hecho caer en un oscuro abismo
de algo estoy segura
ya no eres el fantasma
que me rondaba haciendo un callejon
cada segundo donde te pensaba
no siento la llamada de tu piel
ya no termino con la piel en llamas
no se mañana, se de hoy

hoy no es amor, no es ternura
no es odio ni amargura
hoy he salido de ti bordeando la locura
hoy no es pasion lo que siento
no es pena ni tormento
hoy he salido de ti y entre lagrimas vi
romperse el firmamento
de algo estoy segura
no sabes lo que sientes
pero no quieres que me lleve al mar
por si me pierdes entre la corriente
de algo estoy segura
lo nuestro esta en tus sueños
y tienes miedo a hacerlos realidad
por si descubro que asi no te quiero
no siento ganas de luchar por ti
ya no me dejas a morir por dentro
te dejo la llamada de mi piel
mientras decides, sí o no te dejo
y no te miento, se que siento

que hoy no es amor, no es ternura
no es odio ni amargura
hoy he salido de ti bordeando la locura
hoy no es pasion lo que siento
no es pena ni tormento
hoy he salido de ti y entre lagrimas vi
romperse el firmamento
