Song dedications....

[Serena]

Some good song choices there all. Serena,you help at a shelter don't you? This is about a girl who found the grass is not always greener on the other side...

LONDON GIRL by The Jam

Yes, Storm, I still do volunteer at the shelter. What a song this is! Sent chills through me. I can't tell you how many young girls I've seen like this. So easy for people to say, "Why don't you just go home." They can't begin to imagine the horrors that await some of these girls at home. Oftentimes worse than being on the streets--as this song says. Also like the song says: They're learning fast all the time. What a way to grow up. Powerful song, Storm--thanks.

You know when it's the right one don't you?

TONIGHT AT NOON by The Jam

What a pretty song, Storm. The Jam seem to have had quite a few good ones--everything from the gritty, seamy life on the streets to pretty, romantic love songs like this. You have a good ear for music, Storm.

 

[Lollipop]

Thanks for the songs Storm!! We missed ya!!!
Take care

 

[Storm]

Thanks girls! Nice to be remembered you know
Seeing as how youl liked them i have more..
This is about peer pressure. when you are young it's strongest eh? Not something i need to worry about
You can tell it's old as Rhodesia does not exist now!

The Jam- THE COMBINE


And life is very difficult, when you're in the crowd
When you're in the crowd, you see things as they really are
You can smell the fear and hate, generated by all around -
I wanna breakaway, but the ties are too strong
Wanna go on holiday, but the crowd says I can't
See life is very different, when you're in the crowd
Oh, sometimes in the night, I wish I was faraway
But then I realize, even escape will be in vain
I wanna close my eyes and be like the rest
I mean, nobody wants to die, although the crowd say they do
Look, life is very intricate, when you're in the crowd
Life becomes the movies
And everyone has a role
It's easy being the actor
When the combine's the only star -
Sunday papers
And the dailies
Ena Sharples
Page 3 girls
News at ten
War in Rhodesia
Far away
In a distant land
But we're alright
We're nice and warm here
No one to hurt us
Except ourselves

The faceless Big Brothers that control our lives..our goverments..

The Jam -STANDARDS

Oh we make the standards and we make the rules
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool
We have the power to control the whole land
You never must question our motives or plans -
'Cause we'll outlaw your voices, do anything we want
We've nothing to fear from the nation
We'll throw you out of your houses if you get too much
If we have to we'll destroy your generation
'Cause we've built up a frontage and we've gained respect
There's no one to endanger our position -
Standards rule OK
Standards rule OK
Standards rule OK
Standards rule OK
And we don't like people who stand in our way
Awareness is gonna be redundant
And ignorance is strength, we have God on our side
Look, you know what happend to Winston

Already Gone......The Eagles

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf.
But let me tell you I got some news for you, and you'll
soon find out it's true, and then you'll have to eat your
lunch all by yourself.

(Chorus)
Cause I'm already gone, and I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo, hoo,
woo, hoo, hoo.

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder
why, but I guess you felt like you had to set things right.
Just remember this my girl, when you look up in the sky,
you can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)

(Repeat chorus)

Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down,
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives
in chains, and we never even know we have the key.

BUT ME, I'M ALREADY GONE....and I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song, Yes I'm already gone...

 

[Serena]

Forget about you, Storm? How could we, when you keep popping up.
Like Captain Scarlet.

Couple of good songs there. I'm sure all kids grow up either part of a group like that or knowing kids who are. I think all kids from every generation face some type of peer pressure. Glad I wasn't one of the "popular" kids who hung out in a gang. LOL


Kat LOL Great choice! Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humor--or taste in music!


And now, back to the romantic stuff. This song was very nicely sung by Bette Midler.
But my favorite version was sung by Disney's Cinderella for her Prince Charming. I believe.

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you are fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for you keep

Have faith in your dreams
And someday, your rainbow will come shining through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you just keep believing
The dream that you wish will come true

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you are feeling small.
Alone in the night you whisper
Think no one can hear at all.
You wake with morning sunlight to find fortune that smile on you.
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For almost in tomorrow the dream you wish will come true.

The dream is a wish your heart makes
You wake with the morning sunlight to find fortune that smile on you.
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For almost in tomorrow the dream you wish will come true.
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you just keep believing
The dream that you wish will come true

 

[Lollipop]

Storm we remember our people, so Charles is going to marry that woman? Will you be attending the service?

Kat that song is perfect!!!

Serena I don't think I have heard that Cinderella song, it is very pretty!
I knew there was no Prince Charming, so I did not watch!

Amos I like Wild Thing!

 

[ORANGATUANG]

This is one of my all time favourite ones..its the song from that movie "bodyguard"..

And i will always love you

You, my darling you, you

Bitter sweet memories
That is all i'm taking with me

And i hope you have all you dreamed off
And i wish to you joy and happiness

And i will always love you
I,will always love you
You, my darling you, you

Steven song for today!! (also from bodyguard soundtrack)

Queen Of The Night

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I've got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Cause i'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Don't make no difference if i'm wrong or i'm right
I've got the feeling and i'm willing tonight

Well i ain't nobody's angel
What can i say, i'm just that way

You've got a problem with the way that i am
They say i'm trouble and i don't give a damn
But when i'm bad i know i'm better
I just want to get you, and turn it up for you

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I've got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Cause i'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

 

[Serena]

h.a.

You're My Best Friend
Queen

Ooh you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live

Ooh you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh you're my best friend

Ooo you make me live

Ooh I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend

Ooo you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live

You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend

Ooo you make me live

I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Oh you're my best friend
Ooo you make me live
You you're my best friend

I've posted this before, but wanted to do so again today.

Could I Have This Dance
Anne Murray

I'll always remember the song they were playin',
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

I'll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
'Cause we moved together, I knew forever,
You're all I'll ever need

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

 

[Amos Stevens]

Just a thought,if you wanted to start another "song dedications part 2"

Bob Seger (Remember this one Serena?)

Tryin' To Live My Life Without You

All Right guys, you feel funky tonight? Oh Yeah
This is an old Memphis song, old Memphis song.

I used to smoke five packs of cigarettes a day
It was the hardest thing to put them away.
I'd drink four or five bottles of wine, I kept a
glass in my hand all the time. Breaking those
habits was hard to do, but nothing compared to
the changes you put me through.
(Chorus)
Tryin to live my life without you babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do.
Tryin' to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do

I had the worst reputation in town,
for chasing all the women around.
I thought changing my way of living
was hard to do, but its nothing compared
to the changes you put me though.
I've done everything I've tried to do
But its gonna take a miracle to get me
over you....

*Repeat Chorus

Bob Seger (Remember this one Serena?)

Tryin' To Live My Life Without You

Wow, Kat! I haven't heard this in years!! I had just about forgotten it, but now I'm reminded of what a great song it was. And I'm reminded again how glad I am you're back! Man, that guy could write 'em and sing em', couldn't he?

And I see where your mind is going with these.

 

[Lollipop]

For everyone!!!!!

Put A Little Love In Your Heart

Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's getting late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Another day goes by
And still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see, wait and see

Take a good look around
And if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart
And i hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart
Each and every day
Put a little love in your heart
There's got to be a better way
Put a little love in your heart
Don't you think it's time we start
Put a little love in your heart

 

[Serena]

One more before the end of this day.

Always and Forever
Luther Vandross

Always and forever
Each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true, yeah

And I know tomorrow
Will still be the same
Cuz we got a life of love
That won't ever change and

Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever

Ever, ever, ever
There'll always be sunshine
When I look at you
It's something I can't explain
Just the things that you do
If you get lonely
Call me and take
A second to give to me
That magic you make and

Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever

 

[Lollipop]

And a very good one to end on!!
