Music mania

I have been lazy over the Christmas season with my blog and I am still feeling lazy. So though I am writing an entry I have no idea what to write about...

Ok I could go on about how I am at the moment brainwashing myself with Michael Buble's new album-Call me Irresponsible.

I am loving his song Lost & Me and Mrs Jones (the old Billy Paul song, at least I think that's who it was by) but I have to say the words from "I'm Your Man"  Are playing with my emotions and stirring all kinds of thoughts up in me. I think they should be the test that every man should pass, in order to be a woman's lover :)

"I'm Your Man" 

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me too
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
And If you want a partner take my hand
And If you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

 

And if you want boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a Doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
And if you want a driver climb inside
And if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
Cause I'm your man

Ah the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running thru these promises to you
That I made and could not keep
but a man has never got a woman back
not by begging on his Knees

I've crawled to you baby
And I've followed your feet
I've howled at your beauty like a dog in heat

I've called at your heart
And I tear at your sheet
Cause I'm your man

And if you got to sleep a moment on the road
I will steer for you

And if you want to work this week alone
I'll disappear for you

And if you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Cross the sands
Well I'm your man

Ah the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
I've been running thru these promises to you
That I made and could not keep
But a man has never got a woman back not by begging on his Knees

I've crawled to you baby
and I've followed your feet
I've howled at your beauty like a dog in heat
I've called at your heart
And I tear at your sheets

Cause I'm your man
I'm your man

So you can guess some of what Santa brought me for xmas. Well it's one of the toys I got. Tomorrow I will introduce you to some of the others... But for now, I am imagining what it would be like to have a man howl at my beauty like a dog in heat ;) Or just what is the beast that won't sleep?

Evergreen (By Barbara Streisand)

This song has haunted me throughout my life. I heard it, I listened to it, and thought oh this is sweet. But how can love be as soft as an easy chair? How can you even know what love is at 16 and 17?

I remember memorising the words, though it wasn't cool to like songs like that- at that age. Some things never change it probably still isn't cool, the only difference is that age makes you impervious to what others consider to be PC. I like it so I don't give a damn is the attitude I have in my 40's.
Many a drunken night me and Barbara wailed our way through this song, Then came the time I thought I loved, I did love. But the words didn't fit, or I didn't fit the words and so the meaning had drama without the technicalities of it. Now the words fit the drama that is my life, or my life has lived the words...

Now as I listen caught up in the feel and atmosphere of the words and melody, I realise I barely knew what love was then.
However it didn't stop me from borrowing the record from my cousin; and so began a game of me borrowing it, she taking it back, me borrowing it again, until I must have worn the grooves flat.
One day she said no more, your ruining it.
Nooooooooooooooo, why didn't I tape it? not having a tape recorder would have been my reason. No ipods then with places to easily download favourite tracks. I didn't speak to my cousin for at least 2 weeks, for her cruelly depriving me of this song. My but she was good at finding it, even when I hid it in record-sleeves such as Al Martino- my mothers favourite at the time.


Life carries on, my heart mended and was broke again. Until I learnt what it truly was to give your heart and soul to another. Now years later I think back to then and smile, flash backs of my teenage years- eerily familiar now.
Music has the power to stir me in a way not much else does. Some would say I am just crackers and neurotic, oh well- ok I am a little of both. But don't we just call it eccentricity here in England, and isn't it part of our national heritage.
And so I have passed an hour or two lost in music, and I honestly can't think of a nicer way to spend losing time. Slightly melancholy now, perhaps it's time for something to make my blood rush, rather than the still waters that Evergreen has created.

 

Evergreen

Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the april snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and i will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love

Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

My Guilty Secret

I have a guilty secret that I have been holding to myself for years. I cannot bear it any longer, I am overcome with emotion. But it seems someone cracked my music secret, I love Barbara Streisand. At one time it was Diana Ross and I still have a deep fondness for all things Supreme.
But the first time I heard Evergreen I was lost. When I heard Woman in Love there was simply no hope for me! And I have been torturing my family with my rendition of that song for years.
For a long time I couldn't find my copy of the tape-yes it was the days of tapes, Cds were unheard of, or a Cd Player was out of my reach finacially. Then I found out to my horror, that I had lent it to my sister (bet my neighbours were so pleased) on it's return years later it wouldn't work. And so my favourite song of all time faded into a dim memory.
Until A certain woman announced she was doing live concerts, I am still recovering at the shock of the price of the tickets! But it's inevitable when there is a concert, an album is sure to follow...
Sometimes you can't beat the thrill of receiving something through the post. My excitement knew no bounds as I opened the brown parcel, hm I hadn't ordered anything. So what had the postman brought me today?
It was a belated birthday pressy- The Essential Barbara Streisand.
So here I am floating on the romance of Woman in Love- We may be oceans away, you feel my love, I hear what you say. No truth is ever a lie, I stumble and fall but I give you it alllllll. I am a woman in love and I'd do anything to get you into my world and hold you within...
AHH me poor neighbours! But I think I will just play it one more time...
 
Woman In Love
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
Its a lonelier place
I kiss the morning goodbye
But down inside you know
We never know why
The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all...

Chorus:
I am a woman in love
And I do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
Its a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?
With you eternally mine
In love there is
No measure of time
We planned it all at the start
That you and I
Would live in each other's hearts
We may be oceans away
You feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

Repeat Chorus
I am a woman in love
And I'm talking to you
Do you know how it feels?
What a woman can do
Its a right
That I defend over and over again......

Researching J Lopez Dvd- Honestly it is. (MUSIC)(MEN)

It had to happen, i got the dvd from amazon. Jennifer Lopez-The Reel Me and i just don't want to send it back! Its the fantastic music, or maybe i'm turning gay, and it's the many gorgeous images of J Lo that has me transfixed.

Ohh alright i admit it , it's the video for Aint It Funny, i am mesmerised watching it. It reminds me of a long passion to learn flamenco, or in this case much stomping of feet and arrogant poses and ohh, i admit it, it's the gorgeous Gypsy King- Eduardo Verastegui.

For research purposes i have looked for a pic, seems he acts, smoulders & dances, (oh yes!) For my eyes at least and just to give me a pictorial view of the dvd i am nattering about i have enclosed a pic or two. Just for research and for  memory  recall :)

  EDUARDO VERASTEGUI is one of today's fastest rising Latino stars. A singer and actor, the Mexican-born Verastegui was seen in Jennifer Lopez's Ain't It Funny video, directed by the late Herb Ritts. He currently is shooting an independent feature, My Gardener, with Carlos Ponce, in New Zealand.

Sorry fellas, this  space entry is for me, unless you are gayly inclined.

More MUSIC- & day with family

Had a nice day but boy am i shattered. Met my mum and sister in town, did the shopping thing then because we were all tired it was time to rest the legs. No teashop for my mum though, its the pub! So spent the rest of the afternoon in there.
 
Came home and raided my daughters cd collection again lol.
 
Found the Pussycat dolls who i have been going on about for a while, cos i still like pop. Or what ever genre they are classed as, and no i'm not asking, cos i can guess what some people will say :)
Also found Rihanna- love the SOS song and UNFAITHFUL is brilliant.
 
But what my naughty daughter didn't tell me is Pussycat dolls do a version of FEELING GOOD one of my all time favourite songs. Just thought i'd share the words, cos it's an old song but i still loved it by a modern group. Loved HOTSTUFF & SWAY too.
 
 
FEELING GOOD 
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin on by you know how I feel

(refrain:)
Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

(refrain)

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, dont you know
Butterflies all havin fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
Thats what I mean

And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

More Music

More music, funny how music is as individual as the people who listen to it. Tonight i am listening to Katherine Jenkins, i felt a need for a bit of romance, and the music to ignite it.
I found her album on my music-player must have put it there ages ago and forgot it. She does have a beautiful voice, if you like that classical sound. And i'm sure many males see other virtues of beauty within her !
 
Listening to 'House of no Regrets' stirred something within me. I think the song is gorgeous & set out searching for the words. Couldn't find them, not even on google!
but i did find out why the haunting music was familiar. I think it was used as the theme for the 'Onedin Line' and if i have the right music, it is the adagio from the Ballet 'Spartacus'.
I may have it all totally wrong, and it could be an entirely different song! it will drive me nuts til i find out lol. but i not only learnt about the Armenian composer-Aram Khachaturian, but a modern song and a ballet.
well it is time to watch Murphy's law on tv.
Too much romance ! i need a bit of grit now :)

lazy day-listening to MUSIC

I have had a wonderfully lazy day today, stayed in bed until 2.00 reading my mag and drinking too much tea.
And then, i made, don't know if i dare mention it! in todays health conscious society, it would be very politically incorrect. I made home-made chips! They were very yummy though, so there you go.
 
I am listening to Christina Aguilera's new CD Back to Basics.
It is certainly different, very dramatic. They say, its jazzy & Bluesy, it does have a showgirl kind of thing and 'Nasty Naughty Boy' is bad! i did wonder whether to put the words on, oh well why not :)
 
 
 
Printed from Lyrics4all.net - Read it, sing it... Love it!

Artist: Christina aguilera
Song: Nasty Naughty Boy
Album: Back To Basics

And i thought she was supposed to be less dirty!
Kind of like 'slow down baby' & 'Without you' too.
and 'Hurt' is gorgeous but don't listen if you are heartbroken.
'Mercy on Me' wow !
I kind of like most of them, a it's great CD.
 
So resting, reading, tv , yummy food and music. What more could anyone want!
