Amazing find -
summer. Lovely, lovely song you posted there.
I can only join the rest of you in hopin' for a complete release soon, but somehow I have my doubts about that one. It would sure be nice to here it all, but even this one snippet is amazing and enough for now. Whenever a new opportunity arises to hear that wonderful voice, we can only be thankful, right?
Summer, Linda, Asedora and everyone else feeling sad right now – I know you are hurting, we all are, it is only natural, BUT we must pull through these difficult times. I think i've shared with you all the Keep the faith song by Bon Jovi, or maybe I just mentioned it, don't know, don't matter actually. I think it's high time we all gave a good listen to
Michael's KEEP THE FAITH.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oyw2e1Etxzo&feature=related I chose this particular video because of how simple, yet true that graphic is. This probably is my favorite song off of Dangerous, tied maybe with Heal the world. There is no real need for me to post them lyrics ova here, is there? I'm sure we all know them by heart. What matters now though is not to only know them and recite/sing them, but FEEL them and make them your very own, for your sake, for your own happiness, for your own struggle.
Smile can also do a lot for you if you will allow it. I found this wonderful video for it featuring its author, Charlie Chaplin.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNQCeAWlTV0 I cannot say I am as great a fan of his work as we all know Michael was, but the pieces of filmography I did see, made me appreciate the genius that was Charlot. I actually remember that the first movie I saw on TCM when I moved in into a flat in a city I hold dear was '
the great dictator'. It was a quiet October Sunday and I just enjoyed the movie and realized how much genius it took to turn Hitler and Mussolini into ludicrous characters. And it is true, at the end of the day, dictators like them and Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were all the same – ridiculous, evil creatures who took out on millions their frustrations and insignificance. Here is part of the ending of the movie where Chaplin' character takes over the dictator's role and makes a passionate plea for an united world
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDATNzpfIpI Ain't it sad though that after 70 years Chaplin's words '
we think too much, we feel too little' are even more true than ever? Will we EVER learn???
The new song has as title 'Another day'. I am actually reminded of another song, this one by
Phil Collins though –
Another day in paradise.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfZqXLnBYb4 We must understand that simple things such as a roof over our heads, a warm meal whenever we want, running water, a job to go to everyday, a school where to study are luxury for many, many millions of people on this good earth of ours, especially during times such as these with an economic crisis juxtaposed over a moral crisis of biblical proportions. That is why we must work to make that change, within ourselves and for others.
As last link, I would like to post the
HIStory remix done in 1997 for the BOTDF album.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rz0SsgQHhA Although I don't usually like remixes and I consider them 5 new songs true jewels, I do kinda like this one, even if, as it the case with earth song, this one is a second musical sacrilege. Them lyrics are so very true and real and the beat ain't thaaat bad. So remember,
don't let no one get you down, keep moving on higher ground or should I say don't let nothing get you down, not even the passing of a hero.
Before I go, I must stay true to my random natured self and post some pearls of wisdom I discovered I had saved, funnily enough from a mahjongg computer game (not a big gamer over here, not by a long shot, but there are a couple of them I enjoy ocassionaly). Hope u will like them. The Chinese haven't been around for millennia for nothin. Some of them are common sensical, some might find them cliche-istic even (like those annoyin powerpoint presentations that seem to make the rounds of the world and ask ya to send them to who knows how many people so wishes come true in x amount of minutes lol), but I do belive them to be true.
Plan your year in the early spring and your day at dawn.
Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.
An inch of time is an inch of gold, but you cannot buy an inch of time with an inch of gold.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
A smile will gain you ten more years of life.
A kind word warms for three winters.
Make happy those who are near and those who are far will come.
If you want happiness for a lifetime – help someone else.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
The person who says it cannot be done, should not interrupt the person doing it.
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.
Genius can be recognized by its childish simplicity.
P.S.
Lully, I gotta thank you for that beautiful picture you posted a few pages back. The picture itself and some of the comments reminded me of a graphic I once saw depicting the prophecy about the kingdom of God where lamb and lion would stand together. I found it with a simple search on google images.
Be of good cheer people,
GOD IS in control of this spaceship of ours and when the dust settles, He will wipe away all our tears.
Eternity IS the name of the game.
