Old school music is cool!

[Citizen X]

Yes, Billy Joel's music is timeless! remember Elton John and Kiki Dee music video of "don't go breaking my heart." they were both young and innocent at that time!!

Let's take a trip to 1976, shall we?? Oh, but I insist!!!
I proudly give you Elton John and Kiki Dee(looking very silly in this duet), @wardrobe personnel, you could have done a better job but just as you please!!!
Don't go breaking my heart

AC DC all the way mate!

My favourite AC DC song is "Thunderstruck."

I proudly give you AC DC 'Thunderstruck,'

"Thunderstruck"
“Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track
I looked round
And I knew there was no turning back
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been
Thunderstruck

Rode down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas, yeah Texas, and we had some fun
We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules
Played all the fools
Yeah yeah they, they, they blew our minds
And I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please
Yeah them ladies were too kind
You've been
Thunderstruck

I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please

Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
It's alright, we're doin' fine
It's alright, we're doin' fine, fine, fine
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah"

Our youth have misguided beliefs. In the pursuit of being "cool," they either end up dead, in jail or in rehab. In keeping with this theme of memories, if you will, this theme of lyrical magic with a touch of love, I simply have to revrt to John Lennon and "My life," he too had memories of friends that died but he paid his tribute to his 'other half of the sky' Yoko: I love this song!!!

"There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more"

I've made my choice! I've rededicated my life to the Lord. My liege, his Majesty.So, I'm in "his majesties secret service."

"With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all "

Food for thought was Ub40’s very first single, released in 1980, the term at the time was ‘7 single,’ now our younger friends won’t know what is seven single is! I’ll help you out, it was a smaller vinyl lp, 7 inches or 18 cm

Food for thought: UB40:1980
“Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.

Skin and bones is creeping, doesn’t know he`s dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician`s argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their Bargains, trading baby lives.


Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.


Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on its way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of mary is born again today.


(Chorus)

Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.”

Twist in my sobriety: Tanita Tickaram
“All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear

In the morning I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

We just poked a little pie
For the fun people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

Cup of tea, take time to think, yea
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light

Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety.”

Okay, Slim Shady, I get it, 'girl/boy groups make you sick! But Slim, you must understand, not all of us had the right stuff as teens, we had to find artists that we could relate to...The right stuff….
Sometimes having the right stuff may not necessarily include giving people what they want. The most powerful voice delivery system of New Kids on the Block as they were between 1987 and 1990 was Joey Mcintrye. He joined the group at age 12 and he looked 10 years old when he delivered the powerful and signature vocals of the song ‘Please don’t go girl in 1988.’ Maurice Starr wanted to create the same magic he created with New Addition(they sold records, teenage girls loved them). He wanted a White group this time, that were not into drugs, interested in sports and conscious about how they looked. He wanted to give teenage girls their ideal ‘guy,’ The ‘oddity,’ as Dave would say was Joey Mcintrye, he looked very, very young, but it was only his voice that could make the entire concept and group succeed. At that time, I was in high school, I thought was I cursed with looking so very young, I often aksed, when would I get my beard! I thank God, I didn’t! I thank God no one calls me ‘uncle,’ that would break my heart.
The actual video from the 80’s incorporate a lot of things that I can relate to i.e. youthful fun, the concept of crazy about you romance, the concept of looking fit and healthy and dressing trendy. The video also included footage of the boys in a theme park. A theme park and the iconic roller-coaster hot summers night will definitely keep you and your chick young hearted! If it can’t be fun, exciting, an adventure, then why the hell even have a relationship? Somebody please tell me?
This url will bring some fond 80’s memories back

This is the youthful heart I'm talking about and I really got a thing or two about theme parks...It's really a feeling of being forever young and looking the part too!

Here's one of my favorite ac/dc song..

She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
Was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs

Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
The walls start shaking, earth was quaking
My mind was aching, we were making it

And you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me all night long

Working double time on the seduction line
She's one of a kind, she's just mine, all mine
Wanted no applause, it's just another course
Made a meal outta me and come back for more

Had to cool me down to take another round
Back in the ring to take another swing
The walls start shaking, earth was quaking
My mind was aching, we were making it

And you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me all night long
You got me goin', shook me all night long
You had me shaking and you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me, baby, you took me

You shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me all night long
You really got me and you shook me all night long
You got me goin' and you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me then you took me all night long

“And I love Her.” The Beatles: 10 July 1964
This song has some of the most tantalizing guitar work I’ve ever heard!
In my opinion, the whole concept of ‘Bubble-Gum,’ pop started with the Beatles!
“And I Love Her" is a song recorded by The Beatles, written mainly by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney). The fifth track on their third album, A Hard Day's Night, it was released 20 July 1964 with "If I Fell" as a single by Capitol Records in the United States, reaching #12 in Billboard.
The Beatles performed "And I Love Her" just once outside Abbey Road Studios; on 14 July 1964 they played it for an edition of the BBC's Top Gear radio show, which was broadcast two days later.”[1]

I proudly give you ‘And I love her,’ The Beatles..

“I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her

She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her.”

There's some songs that almost take the words out of your mouth. It expresses exactly what you want to say in your individual situation. This song does just that for me!!

Two hearts: Phil Collins
“Well, there was no reason to believe she'd always be there
But if you don't put faith in what you believe in
It's getting you nowhere
Cos it hurts, you never let go
Don't look down, just look up
Cos she's always there behind you, just to remind you

Two hearts, living in just one mind
You know we're two hearts living in just one mind

Well, there's no easy way to, to understand it
There's so much of my life in her, and it's like I'm blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are

Two hearts, living in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts living in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time

She knows (she knows)
There'll always be a special place in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, I'm always right there beside her

We're two hearts..”

I proudly give you 'Two hearts": Phil Collins

Then Going really old school, but still so relevent.

Donova - Universal Soldier

He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
He fights with missiles and with spears.
He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen,
He's been a soldier for a thousand years.

He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain,
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew.
And he knows he shouldn't kill,
And he knows he always will,
Kill you for me my friend and me for you.

And he's fighting for Canada,
He's fighting for France,
He's fighting for the USA,
And he's fighting for the Russians,
And he's fighting for Japan,
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way.

And he's fighting for Democracy,
He's fighting for the Reds,
He says it's for the peace of all.
He's the one who must decide,
Who's to live and who's to die,
And he never sees the writing on the wall.

But without him,
How would Hitler have condemned him at Labau?
Without him Caesar would have stood alone,
He's the one who gives his body
As a weapon of the war,
And without him all this killing can't go on.

He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame,
His orders come from far away no more,
They come from here and there and you and me,
And brothers can't you see,
This is not the way we put an end to war.

How to win a women’s heart old school style!!!!
Now take this lesson from musical history. John Lennon and Paul Mccartney could have done things differently, they could’ve wrote the song ‘I just wanna have sex with you.” BUT they didn’t, in true bubble-gum pop style they released “I want to hold your hand,” on 23 November 1963
"I Want to Hold Your Hand" is a song by the English rock band The Beatles. Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and recorded in October 1963, it was the first Beatles record to be made using four-track equipment.
With advance orders exceeding one million copies in the United Kingdom, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" would ordinarily have gone straight to the top of the British record charts on its day of release (29 November 1963) had it not been blocked by the group's first million seller "She Loves You", the Beatles' previous UK single, which was having a resurgent spell in the top position following intense media coverage of the group. Taking two weeks to dislodge its predecessor, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" stayed at number one for five weeks and remained in the UK top fifty for twenty-one weeks in total.”[1]
I proudly give you ‘I want to hold your hand: Beatles

"I Want To Hold Your Hand"

“Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
I'll let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy
Inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy
Inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I'll feel that something
I wanna hold your hand”

A really special song this, If you like a something with a "darker touch" but not "heavy". Despite my insomnia I really enjoy sleeping... Mostly All my dreams are lucid and my nightmares more so. Thus this song gives me that feeling as if I am a sleep but not... Especially in gloomy weather.

Delain "Sleepwalker's Dream"

Close your eyes
For the night is falling
Fear no dark for it's warm and safe
And looks familiar as it comes approaching
Come with me and I will take you

On a world beyond your sleep
Beyond what’s real
In safety, a hidden sphere
Away from our daily reality
Truth lies out there, the truth lies out there.

As the innocent lay their heads down
As the night chants its luring call
Cross the borders of sense and foresight
Come with me and I will take you
You don't have to be afraid

A tear is only water
A sigh is only air
Whenever you feel haunted
The truth lies out there,
the truth lies out there.

On a world beyond your sleep
Beyond what’s real
In safety, a hidden sphere
Away from our daily reality
Truth lies out there,
the truth lies out there.

I’ve often wondered about the process of creating a duet that’s a masterpiece. Do you write a duet simply because you want records to sell? Or, is a duet really a true reflection of an experience that a man and woman shared and that experience was so fulfilling that the experience was confirmed to writing and hence the result of a timeless duet




Barbra Streisand
Guilty - With Barry Gibb lyrics

“Shadows falling, baby, we stand alone
Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own

It oughta be illegal
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
It oughta be illegal
You got a reason for living

You battle on with the love you're living on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day, just a matter of time

And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are
And we never let it end, we are devotion

And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye

Pulse's racing, darling, how grand we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
There's danger in the dark
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/b...arry_gibb.html ]
You battle on with the love you're building on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day, just a matter of time

And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are
And we never let it end, we are devotion

And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye

Don't wanna hear your goodbye
I don't wanna hear your”

I love this song for just so many reasons! I proudly give you "Guilty!"
