the perfect fifth...

elusive, miraculous, hysterical...


from Kaamelott

somehow, King Arthur will never be the same...

This is a song for the lonely...

Happy Birthday, Cher...



This is a song for the lonely
Cher


When you're standing on the edge of nowhere
There's only one way up
So your heart's got to go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When hero's fall, in love or war
They live forever

[Chorus:]
This is a song - for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song - for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer?
'Cause someone's there for you

Well, love don't need a reason
She can pick you up
Or leave you bleeding
I've seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive, we all forget
We just keep believing

[Chorus]

So let it find you
Wherever you may go
I'm right beside you
You don't have to look no more
You don't have to look no more, oh no

[Chorus]

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

This is a song
A song for the lonely
And that's not you only
Through the darkest night
You're gonna see the light

Love don't need a reason
Just to leave you bleeding

Can you hear this prayer?
Someone's there

This is a song - for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song
For the lonely

Time to Say Goodbye...

Time to Say Goodbye
Russell Watson & Hayley Westenra
from the new Russell Watson album
Outside In

This is from Russell Watson's newest album, Outside In. It was released last November in England and Europe. There has been no release in the U.S. as yet. I ordered the import from amazon.com.

There are no lyrics that I could find for his version with Hayley Westenra nor a video. I found the one above that someone put together with visuals from Phantom of the Opera.

For anyone not aware, Russell Watson was recording an album at the end of 2006, Love affair, in Los Angeles and became extremely ill with debilitating headaches and had to be rushed to the hospital. They discovered a brain tumor that was removed. A year later, the tumor returned having regrown and another surgery had to be performed along with radiotherapy. He spent time in rehab. He is scheduled to tour in the UK this summer.

The Love Affair album was not completed but was replaced with Outside In, as far as I could tell. You can find out more about Russell Watson and his voyage on his website - here.

Color of Roses...

Color of Roses
sung by Bette Midler




I held you close to me
once in a distant dream,
far from the shores of my fear.
I sailed on the ocean where
all I imagined could happen,
and now you are here.

It's so hard to touch
what is out of our hands,
to know and to trust
what the heart understands.

Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.

Life gives us magic and
life brings us tragedy.
Everyone suffers some loss.
Still we have faith in it,
childlike hope.
There's a reason that outweighs the cost.

And gravity throws
all these rules in our way.
And sometimes the sprit
refuses to play.

Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.

And oh, love,
turn me around in your arms.
And in this dream we share
let us not miss one kiss.

And add my regrets
to the tears in the rain
for that's what the color
of roses contain.

Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream,
ever dream what comes true.
