A flock of seagulls :wishing (I had a photograph of you)

It's not the way you look
It's not the way that you smile
Although there's something to them
It's not the way you have your hair

It's not that certain smile
It could be that with you

If I had a photograph of you
It's something to remind me
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing
It's not the make up and it's not the way that you dance

It's not the evening sky
It's more the way your eyes are laughing as they glance
Across the great divide

If I had a photograph of you
It's something to remind me

I wouldn't spend my life just wishing
It's not the things you say
it's not the things you do

It must be something more
And if I feel this way for so long

Tell me
Is it all for nothing
just don't walk out the door
If I had a photograph of you
It's something to remind me

I wouldn't spend my life just wishing

Something different

A reflection of the last week.  I have been in a bad place.  I wish life was full of answers and simple ones. I wish that life would be nice and good to me for once like everyone else seems like to have in place.
I was always under the impression that life could be better,  if I worried less.
I wish I could accept my body for the way it is as I am told that's the beginning stages of accepting who you are.
I long for approval which is something I should never do.  I want to make a difference in other people's lives more thany own.  But I should start with me.  I was reading something. It made so much sense.  What I think about,  I actually start believing.  Listening to songs,  watching particular movies show me that I can have that better life.

The question is how? How badly do I want it?

I got you babe UB40 feat. Chrissie hynde

"I Got You Babe"
(feat. Chrissie Hynde)

They say we're young and we don't know
Won't find out untill we grow
Well I don't know babe if that's true
Cause you got me and baby I got you

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earn'd our money's always spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a lot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.

I got flowers in the spring
I got you, to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And when I get scared you're always around so let them say your hair's too long
But I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you and I won't let go
I got you who loves me so
I got you, babe

I am dieing to find the true meaning and translation of ndihamba nawe by mafikizolo.

Jimmy Eat World - Hear you me

"Hear You Me"

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in. 
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

Frankie Valli and 4 Seasons

If you hate me after what I say
Can't put it off any longer
ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
I just gotta tell ya anyway

Bye bye baby babye goodbye
bye bye baby don't make me cry

You're the one girl in town I'd marry 
Girl I'd marry now if I were free--
I wish it could be
I could love you but why begin it?
'cause there ain't any future in it.

She's got me and I'm not free so 
Bye bye baby, baby goodbye
bye bye baby, don't make me cry

Guess I never will know you better
Wish I knew you before I met her
Geee, how good you would be for me
Shoulda' told you but I can't linger
There's a wedding ring on my finger

She's got me and I not free so 
Bye bye baby, baby goodbye
Bye bye baby, don't make me cry

I'm trying to find a way out but there seems no escape
When I feel the hidden power that lies inside your sound
Like the ghost inside the atom that spins it round and round
There's magic in some words, some things you can't explain
That conjures up that feeling of the sun inside the rain

Chorus
When the wind is blowing like a lonesome train
I reach out and touch you and I call your name
When the night is lonely and I fear the coming day
I reach out and touch you
And I call your name -- ngibiza igama lakho

Oh no, don't let the sun go down
I'm so low, I feel underground
There's no easy road and no easy way
To say the things I have to say
'Cause I know that time is a distance and distance is a space
I've come so far to find you, it's you I can't replace
When I feel the hidden power that lies inside your sound
Like the ghost inside the atom that spins it round and round
There's magic in some words some things you can't explain
That conjures up that feeling of the sun inside the rain

Chorus

Crazy - Ice house

"Crazy"

I've got a pocket full of holes.
Head in the clouds, the king of fools.
You've got a ribbon of rainbows,
the sun in your eyes burning through.
Could be I'm happy and sad,
could be I'm losing my head over you.

Well, you've gotta be crazy, baby to want a guy like me.
Yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind - crazy.

So if I'm dreaming don't wake me tonight.
If this is all wrong, I don't want it right.
'Cause you're the one sure thing 
when I get lost in the game once again.
Hey, I'm a lucky guy without a reason and I don't understand.

Well, you've gotta be crazy, baby, 
to want a guy like me (to want a guy like me). 
Yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind - crazy (crazy crazy crazy).
Well, there must be some kind of mistake to give your heart away. 
Yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind crazy.

Well, you've gotta be crazy, baby to want a guy like me.
Yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind - crazy .
Well, there must be some kind of mistake to fall in love with me.
Well, you've gotta be out of your mind - crazy crazy
Well, you've gotta be crazy, baby to want a guy like me. 
Yeah, you've gotta be crazy, baby.....

Bryan Adams - Here I am

"Here I Am (End Title)"

Here I am - this is me 
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be 
Here I am - it's just me and you 
And tonight we make our dreams come true 

It's a new world - it's a new start 
It's alive with the beating of young hearts 
It's a new day - it's a new plan 
I've been waiting for you 
Here I am 

Here we are - we've just begun 
And after all this time - our time has come 
Ya here we are - still goin' strong 
Right here in the place where we belong 

[Chorus]
Here I am - next to you 
And suddenly the world is all brand new 
Here I am - where I'm gonna stay 
Now there's nothin standin in our way 
Here I am - this is me

Take a listen to this retro song

For today

Lisa se klavier - The Parlotones
Live design - The Parlotones
Long way home - The Parlotones
Love is all around - but it has to be the 60s version.
Something in the air - definitely a 60s song,  this song about the same age as my parents but I love it.

Completely forgot about the song of the day :)
Well today is another day :)

How does a playlist sound?
Definitely :)

I got you babe

This song when I listen to it for the first time,  it sounds like a first love song.

When researching it was hard to find the real reason behind the song.
I know there are many covers of this beautiful song.

But when one closes their eyes and listens to it, It resembles first love,  I know that this first love really seems mutual,  often I've wished well lately that I could reenact this song.
It is only too beautiful. Even playing it on repeat it has been a beautiful experience.
This couple seems very happy.
They know they can always rely on eachother and they will make it through life one day at a time.
They reassured that everything is alright and they will always stick together.
Don't we long for such a love,
Holding hands walking in a forest knowing that this person is the one,  knowing everything will be alright and that life is finally complete.

That is my emotions and feelings about the song :)

Song of the day

Been waiting for the song of the day,
Well I have it...
UB40: I got you babe :)

David Bowie - Heroes

This song written by Bowie, one thinks there are many reasons behind it.  Maybe he was a hopeless romantic like me.
His song's setting takes place in Berlin Germany.  How do we know this??  Well he refers to the wall.
During the war
I don't know about you but we assume it's during the war where West and East Germany was still around.
Communism vs capitalism.

According to research David Bowie's song was written because of the following events during his stay in Berlin.

David Bowie was Inspired by the sight of Bowie's manager Tony Visconti embracing his girlfriend by the Berlin Wall, the song tells the story of two lovers, one from East and one from West Berlin. 

This is seen as a hopeful romantic,  
But did you know that this song played a role in the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.  

The title itself was inspired by many other German bands who were aiming at freedom from the Berlin Wall.

But listening to the song Bowie sounds like his is yelling,  this is to emphasise doomed love as his manager was married yet seeing this lady?  

How can a beautiful image be so harsh. 
I believe the song is a sign of hope and as a firm Bowie fan.  
This song gives me hope for the future. 

No matter the chaos love conquers all. 
This is my infinite song,  My everything song 
Always will have a special meaning to my life 

New angle

I've decided to take on a new challenge,
To everyone who reads this blog,  even if it is only one or two people let's be hopeful.
Let me know or send in songs via the comments box, will try my best to research the song or artist
Xxx

Living with this lump on my heart.
Craving the good life.
Hardwork will soon pay off :)

Hello,  is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me...

Today

Today has been much better,
Paul Simon and Paul McCartney really did it for me today.
You can call me Al and band on the Run.
I have been into the older music a lot lately.
Seems to make my day,  makes me happy on the inside.  A lot...

Today's deal

Well on a good note things seem to be getting lighter,
Even though there is very little emotional.
Things are making sense sort of,
I wish I had answers
I wish I had more faith in myself.
It's not fair to put yourself down all the time.  Give yourself a break.
We are all human :)

Life's challenges

When life becomes tough we hide.  When life is mean we run away.
Where would we escape to,
I know of two places I would escape to.
The coast or the gym.
What will happen when my academic life comes to an end and moments will become old photographs.
Would you live in regret?

I know for a fact that I would only regret one thing and that was not facing my little insecurities sooner.
Currently facing my biggest fears but not giving up.
I am working on accepting myself for who I am.  If anyone knows my past they would know that I have always lacked a self confidence and self esteem.
I am seen as being way to hard on myself as a person.
We are all human.

We all make mistakes.  bridge over troubled waters,  over the rainbow,  are only songs to explain the fact that there is hope in this world.
There is hope that I will find what I deserve and life destined to be better than it was.
My heart is heavy and cold.

It doesn't feel love,  it just can't,  it is in process of being set free.
When that day happens...

The chains will burst and the excited butterflies will be released.
There will be joy and peace

Most importantly being content with life as it is.  Not running away or changing to be accepted by society.

David Bowie - Heroes
You got me through my hard times

Paul Simon - You can call me Al

I know how much my dad loves me playing this song especially with his past experiences and drumming history.

David Bowie - Heroes

My infinite song.  This song is key and would definitely be the key to win me over as a free spirited independent lady.  Like putty in your hand.  Any best friends key to my good books.
This song has a lot of meaning.  I've always wanted to drive with this song through a tunnel like in the movie perks of being a wallflower.

Why not

Paul McCartney - band on the Run ( a travel song,  give it a try.  This song would be beautiful for a long drive you know).
You all know my love for soundtracks.  This song from lion king,  It is one of the most moving songs I come across.
Lion king 2 - he lives in you
The Beatles - hey Jude,  ( the best chilled song to sing along to all the time actually).

Play list for the exciting :)

The parlotones - sleepwalker
Pink Floyd - comfortably numb
Paul McCartney - band on the Run

My playlist for today will include the legend David Bowie.  His legend song Heroes.
This is my infinite song most definitely :)

Well I haven't posted for ages,
A lot has been going on and stuff that needed to be sorted.  Still in process with the road to recovery.
One step at a time
