    That’s what friends are for: Dionne Warwick & Friends: 1985
    For all my peeps…


    Verse 1
    “And I
    Never thought I'd feel this way
    And as far as I'm concerned I'm glad I got the chance to say
    That I do believe I love you

    And if I should ever go away
    Well then close your eyes and try to feel the way we do today
    And than if you can't remember.....


    Chorus
    Keep smilin'
    Keep shinin'

    Knowin' you can always count on me
    for sure
    that's what friends are for

    For Good Times And bad times
    I'll be on your side forever more
    That's what friends are for

    Verse 2
    Well you came in lovin' me
    And now there's so much more I see
    And so by the way I thank you....

    Ohhh and then
    For the times when we're apart
    Well just close your eyes and know
    These words are coming from my heart
    And then if you can't remember.”

                "Little Bird"


                I look up to the little bird
                That glides across the sky
                He sings the clearest melody
                It makes me want to cry
                It makes me want to sit right down
                and cry cry cry
                I walk along the city streets
                So dark with rage and fear
                And I...
                I wish that I could be that bird
                And fly away from here
                I wish I had the wings to fly away from here

                But my my I feel so low
                My my where do I go ?
                My my what do I know ?
                My my we reap what we sow
                They always said that you knew best
                But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
                I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
                So I've just got to put these wings to test

                For I am just a troubled soul
                Who's weighted...
                Weighted to the ground
                Give me the strength to carry on
                Till I can lay this burden down
                Give me the strength to lay this burden down down down yeah
                Give me the strength to lay it down

                But my my I feel so low
                My my where do I go ?
                My my what do I know ?
                My my we reap what we sow
                They always said that you knew best
                But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now
                I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed
                So I've just got to put these wings to test

                      Corazón espinado

                      More Latin rythyms. I just love this music!

                      "Corazón Espinado" (English: "Pierced Heart") is a song by Santana and Fher Olvera of the Latin rock group Maná. The song was written, produced and sung by Fher Olvera, and co-produced by Alex González. It was released on the Santana album Supernatural in 1999, and became a massive hit in Spanish-speaking countries. It won the "Record of the Year" and "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group" at the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards. In addition, Santana and Maná performed the song at the Latin Grammys. Wikipedia

                      Carlos enjoying himself, but watch the antics of the drummer!

                        Volare: English Translation
                        Volare: Gypsy Kings: 1989
                        This song has a history! It reminds me of ‘somebody!” Just kidding, it does have a history!
                        The song was initially called ‘Nel blu dipinto di blu,’ which means ‘On the Blue, Painted Blue.’ It was first released in 1958. It was made popular by the Gypsy Kings in 1989.
                        I love this song.

                        “Penso che sogno così
                        non ritorni mai più,
                        mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu,
                        poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito,
                        e incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito.

                        Volare, oh oh,
                        cantare, oh oh oh oh.
                        Nel blu dipinto di blu,
                        felice di stare lassù.

                        E volavo volavo felice
                        più in alto del sole ed ancora più su
                        mentre il mondo pian piano spariva
                        lontano laggiù.
                        Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me.

                        Volare, oh oh
                        cantare, oh oh oh oh.
                        Nel blu dipinto di blu
                        felice di stare lassù

                        Ma tutti i sogni nell'alba svaniscon perché
                        quando tramonta la luna li porta con sé,
                        Ma io continuo a sognare negli occhi tuoi belli
                        che sono blu come un cielo trapunto di stelle...

                        Volare, oh oh
                        cantare, oh oh oh oh;
                        Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
                        felice di stare quaggiù

                        E continuo a volare felice
                        più in alto del sole ed ancora più su
                        mentre il mondo pian piano scompare
                        negli occhi tuoi blu
                        La tua voce è una musica dolce
                        che suona per me.

                        Volare, oh oh
                        cantare, oh oh oh oh.
                        Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
                        felice di stare quaggiù”

                        To Fly
                        I think, a similar dream
                        Will never return.
                        I painted hands and face in the blue
                        And then suddenly the wind kidnapped me
                        And I began to fly in an infinite sky.

                        To fly,
                        To sing
                        In the blue, painted in the blue,
                        I am happy to be above.

                        And I flew, flew happy
                        Higher the sun and even higher
                        While the world disappeared slowly
                        Far away down.
                        A sweet music played only for me.

                        But all my dreams disappeared at the daybreak because
                        When the moon sets, it brings them with itself.
                        But I continue dreaming about your beautiful eyes
                        Which are blue as the sky embroidered with stars...

                        To fly,
                        To sing
                        In the blue, painted in the blue,
                        I am happy to be above.

                        And I flew, flew happy
                        Higher the sun and even higher
                        While the world disappeared slowly
                        In your blue eyes.
                        Your voice is a sweet music
                        Which plays for me.

                        To fly,
                        To sing
                        In the blue of your blue eyes,
                        I am happy to be here down.

                          Volare. I remember the song from my childhood. I think my parents had the record (1958?).

                            “Come on, baby, dry your eyes
                            Wipe your tears
                            Never like to see you cry
                            Won't you please forgive me ?

                            I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
                            I just needed someone to hold me
                            To fill the void while you were gone
                            To fill this space of emptiness

                            I'm only human
                            Of flesh and blood I'm made
                            Human
                            Born to make mistakes

                            So many nights I longed to hold you
                            So many times I looked and saw your face
                            Nothing could change the way I feel
                            No-one else could ever take your place

                            I'm only human
                            Of flesh and blood I'm made
                            Human
                            Born to make mistakes
                            I am just a man


                            Please forgive me

                            The tears I cry aren't tears of pain
                            They're only to hide my guilt and shame
                            I forgive you now I ask the same of you
                            While we were apart I was human too

                            I'm only human
                            Of flesh and blood I'm made
                            I am just a man
                            Human
                            Born to make mistakes”

                              I really like this theme, I’m also passionate about music Vanash but it seems that you’re more passionate than I!
                              The group Eric Burdon & the Animals was the third most popular UK Band (in the UK) for some time, only the Beatles & the Stones were more popular. I could search for my source, but took this off the top of my head.
                              Guesswork would say that The Who displaced them from third spot eventually.

                              ‘Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood’ was neither an original nor did it make No1 on the charts, it was also covered by a host of different acts, including, Joe Cocker, Gary Moore, Trevor Rabin, Moody Blues, Robben Ford and Cyndi Lauper. Not as well known as the Animal’s version of ‘House Of The Rising Sun’ it is one of my favourites from that era.

                              Baby do you understand me now, sometimes I feel a little mad
                              But don’t you know that no-one alive can always be an angel
                              When things go wrong I seem to be bad

                              (chorus)
                              But I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good
                              Oh Lord please don’t let me be misunderstood

                              Baby sometimes I’m so carefree with a joy that’s hard to hide
                              And sometimes it seems all I have to do is worry
                              Then you’re bound to see my other side

                              (chorus)
                              But I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good
                              Oh Lord please don’t let me be misunderstood

                              If I seem edgy I want you to know, that I never mean to take it out on you
                              Life has its problems and l get my share
                              And that’s one thing I never meant to do, because I love you

                              Oh, oh baby don’t you know I’m human, have thoughts like any other one
                              Sometimes I find myself long regretting
                              Some foolish thing, some little thing I’ve done

                              (chorus)
                              But I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good
                              Oh Lord please don’t let me be misunderstood

                              Yes I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good
                              Oh Lord please don’t let me be misunderstood

                              Yes I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good
                              Oh Lord please don’t let me be misunderstood

                                I love this song as well! THis is one thread that is bound to unite all of us as we all love music, it doesn't matter what genre it is, music unites as opposes to divides..
