I whistle down the wind

Carry on smiling and the world will smile with you

Life is a flower

So precious in your hand

Carry on smiling and the world will smile with you

When every race is run and the day is closing in

I don't care 'bout the world I'm living for the light

Don't cry for me today AHHH...

We live in a free world...

I cannot be your judge, Mr. Jailer is your host

He's keeping you inside and hides you from the world

No catcher in the rye can help you from yourself

We live in a free world...

Please Mr. Agony release them for a while Oh Oh Oh

Learn them the consequence of living without life

We live in a free world...

We live in a free world (in a free world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah)

Life is a flower (is a flower)

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

I whistle down the wind (I whistle down the wind)

Carry on smiling and the world will smile with you

Oh oh oh

So precious in your hand

Carry on smiling and the world will smile with you

We live in a free world

Carry on smiling and the world will smile with you...

(Don't tell me that you won't love me)

If you wanna leave

I won't beg you to stay

And if you gotta go, darling

Maybe it's better that way

I'm gonna be strong

I'm gonna do fine

Don't worry about this heart of mine

(And walk out that door

See if I care

Go on and go)

But...

Chorus:

Don't turn around

'cause you're gonna see my heart breakin'

Don't turn around

I don't want you seein' me cry

Just walk away

It's tearin' me apart that you're leavin'

I'm lettin' you go

But I won't let you know

I wont let you know

I won't miss your arms around me

Holdin' me tight (holdin' me tight)

And if you ever think about me

Just know that I'll be alright

(I'll be alright)

I'm gonna be strong

I'm gonna do fine

Don't worry about this heart of mine

(I know I'll survive

I'll make it through

I'll even learn to live without you)

Chorus

I wish I could scream out loud that I love you

I wish I could say to you "don't go"

As he walks away, he feels the pain gettin' strong

People in your life, they don't know what's going on

Too proud to turn around, he's gone

I´m a clown for everyone

I´m never gonna let you down,

I´m always here like a sun

I´m a loser, that is fact for sure

I´m happy even if you don´t want

To invite me out for a dance tonight

I´m not normal, I know it, I don´t care

I´m always here like a sun

I´m always here like a sun, I´m always here

Like a ghost I follow your steps so true

You don´t have to bribe me or fill me up

Give me just a minute to shine with you

I could make you so happy, make you laugh

I´m never gonna say I´m sorry for

the essence of my soul

There´s so many ways to change my life

´Cause I want to...oh

I´m a clown, I´m fun for everyone...

I never gonna say I´m sorry...

Leaving me here on my own

It's a cruel (it's a cruel) cruel summer

Now you're gone you're not the only one it's a cruel

It's a cruel (cruel) cruel summer (no)

Oohhh

She leads a lonely life

When she woke up late in the morning light

And the day had just begun

She opened up her eyes and thought

Oh what a morning

It's not a day for work

It's a day for catching tan

Just laying on the beach and having fun

She's going to get ya!

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby...yeah

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby...yeah

All that she wants

All that she wants

So if you are in sight and the day is right

She's a hunter you're the fox

The gentle voice that talks to you

Won't talk forever

It is a night for passion

But the morning means goodbye

Beware of what is flashing in her eyes

She's going to get ya!

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby...yeah

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby...yeah

Oooooohhh

Oooooohhh

All that she wants is another baby (is another baby)

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby (is another ba-aby)

All that she wants is another baby (is another baby)

She's gone tomorrow boy

+ All that she wants Video

En uno de sus pasados conciertos de estos últimos días cantaron, para el asombro de todos, un neuvo tema titulado "Sparks From a Fire" un tema que por lo que hemos podido escuchar es del rollo dance bailable a lo que los suecos nos tienen acostumbrados, pero con un sonido algo más contundente y renovador acercandose al electro.

Estamos deseosos de poder escuchar ese tema en condiciones que los fans de Ace Of Base tenemos que sufrir para todo!!!!

You would hardly recognize me

I'm so glad

How can a person like me care for you?

Why do I bother

When you're not the one for me?

Oo-oo oo oo-oo

Is enough, enough?

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes

I saw the sign

Life is demanding without understanding

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes

I saw the sign

No-one's gonna drag you up

To get into the light where you belong

But where do you belong?

Under the pale moon

For so many years, I've wondered

Who you are

How could a person like you bring me joy?

Under the pale moon

Where I see a lot of stars

Oo-oo oo oo-oo

Is enough, enough?

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes

I saw the sign

Life is demanding without understanding

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes

I saw the sign

No-one's gonna drag you up

To get into the light where you belong

But where do you belong?

Oh, oh, oh-oh

I saw the sign and it opened up my mind

And I am happy now livin' without you

I've left you

Oh, oh, oh-oh

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes

I saw the sign

No-one's gonna drag you up

To get into the light where you belong

I saw the sign, I saw the sign

I saw the sign

I saw the sign, I saw the sign

I saw the sign, I saw the sign

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes

I saw the sign

Eu gostava mais da ruiva, e você?
Destaque para o couro e as chuquinhas. Tem coisas dos anos 90 que podiam ficar guardadas por lá mesmo.

não entramos num acordo se finalmente o inverno havia chegado ou se ainda era outono. discutimos a escassez das festas juninas na região. tomamos cerveja. cappuccino. água. para matar aquela sede. aquela. pensamos nas mesmas coisas a noite toda. só não teve street fighter. mas tudo bem. eu vou comprar um atari pra tirar onda, depois um playstation, porque eu gosto mesmo de videogame.

mas choveu. pra coroar todo o fluxo de pensamentos, pra lavar todos os nossos pecados. para nos trazer de volta antigos sabores. para nos fazer sentir alguma coisa quando toca coldplay na TV, por exemplo. é, a banda que não me fez sentir nada durante anos ou a que só me fez sentir alguma coisa com "don't panic".

anyway, o inverno começa no dia 21 de junho às 2:45 da manhã. vou ter de arrumar uma quermesse com fogueira para me sentir menos miserável. vai durar 93 dias. 93 longos dias de frio. espero que outras chuvas venham e que tragam consigo seus arco-íris arrasadores. e tudo mais que puder vir junto.

(Bay to Breakers is the drunken, costumed 12k in San Francisco) There was video taken but with my camera and I'm trying to import the .mov files to iMovie and I'm having challenges with that. Until then, this is still fun to watch!

When she woke up late in the morning light
and the day has just begun
she opened her eyes and thought
o' what a morning
it's not a day for work
it's a day for catching tan
just laying on the beach and having fun
she's going to get you

all that she wants is another baby
she's gone tomorrow boy
all that she wants is another baby
all that she wants is another baby
she's gone tomorrow boy
all that she wants is another baby

all that she wants - all that she wants

so if you are in sight and the day is right
she's the hunter you're the fox
the gentle voice that talks to you
won't talk forever
it's a night for passion
but the morning means goodbye
beware of that is flashing on her eyes
she's going to get you

all that she wants ...

Anyway, I get the feeling that I am really lame as of late.  I listen to a lot of music.  Old and New.  My favorites are Journey, Linkin Park, Lifehouse, 311, The Ramones, Blue Oyster Cult, Metallica, The Roots, Wu-Tang, and the list goes on.  It is an eclectic mix to say the least.

The question up at top is in relation to most of my friends just calling the shit I listen to really lame.  True Bon Jovi may be pushing it, but come on.  "Wanted: Dead or Alive" and "Blaze of Glory" are awesome.  Right?

I don't know.  I don't listen to radio that often, mostly cds and my iPod (still hate that piece of shit).  I do like some newer stuff, but there are just too many new bands to keep track of and add to my collection.  I only have so much space.  Storage is finite. 

Maybe I'm just old.  Most of my friends are my age, but they haven't "matured" so to speak and they are still living in the age of the teenager.  Granted, I still listen to Dashboard Confessional, but I am a long way from ever liking Fall Out Boy or the like of radio-friendly emo bastards that are plagueing the youth of tomorrow.  The crap really is terrible.  The Bled, From First To Last, Bullet For My Valentine.  Just awful, awful crap.

Whatever the case may be I don't think I'm that lame.  Maybe a tad since I do admittingly like Bon Jovi, DragonForce, and even Ace of Base.  Yes, I said Ace of Base.  They were kick ass in 6th grade and guess what?  They still kick ass.

Damals, in den 90ern. Der Ace of Base Smasher im Punkgewand - ein Meilenstein in der Wizo-Historie da zeitlich vor "UUAARRGH!".

I even remember listening to all the 90's songs when I was like 7 years old back in Vietnam and didn't know what any of the lyrics meant.

My temp job is pretty intensely boring. Aside from the occasional call asking me to get up from my desk and take a phone to a pilot out of the airplane that he's currently piloting(seriously), things are pretty dull.

However, I get all the free internet surf time I want. Minus facebook and youtube. Twitch twitch. Maybe that'll be incentive for me to do something vaguely constructive for once. Then again, maybe not.

Browsing through various lists of albums due to be released this year, I'm thinking this might be the year of unsurprisingly good music and crap music that is also unsurprising. First of all, it is hilarious that Ace of Base, Powerman 5000 and, uh...Motley Crue(!?) are all releasing new albums.  Wow. It'll be like the soundtrack to my high school reunion. For the record, I'm not going to my high school reunion. 

Nikki Sixx is still hot though. Freaky mullet like thing on his head and all.

There's some surprising newness in the offing too...the actress Scarlet Johannson of Lost In Translation  fame has an album coming out...you can listen to it for free here. I haven't actually gotten a chance to listen to it myself but it certainly looks like it might be interesting. 

Also, even though internet gossip is panning this one all around, I'm kind of looking forward to Solange Knowles' August release Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams. Peep the first single, I Decided, here. Yeah, she's Beyonce's baby sister and the vocal does sound a little forced and maybe she's not so flashy as a performer. But I like the style on this one. It's a cute little pop song for people who like singable melodies as opposed to pop, squeak, squitter, moan. I'll definitely be checking the album out just to see what it's like.

Not so surprising is the advent of the 'sequel' album...Timbalands hitting us with part II of Shock Value and Erykah Badu gracing the planet with New Amerykah:Part II(Return of the Ankh). I'm starting to kind of wish that recording artists would wait for slightly longer intervals between releases(can we say oversaturation of the market, boys and girls?) but meh. These'll both be hits, no matter what they sound like.

Other than that, it looks to be a pretty standard year for musical releases. Lots of albums by artists that we all already know are quality, even though some of them haven't been seen for a while. Stevie Wonder, Common, Toni Braxton, Beyonce, Dr. Dre, Coldplay and Keri Hilson have all got CD's coming out this year. Aside from Keri Hilson's album, which has already been leaked in bits and pieces all over the 'net, most of these are just rumors, and if they do exist, probably going to be more of the same that we've been hearing for a while...not that that's a bad thing.

All this makes me wonder just what the next big thing in music is going to be. What's the next sound going to be? I think we're reaching the tail end of the electro crossover that's running all through hip-pop and R&B(especially now that Madonna's jacked it...still, that track, minus the vocals, is pretty hot). Maybe a more substantial singing sound will come into play? More experimental variants of soul and hip-hop? Santogold's self-titled release is doing pretty well, all things considered. Maybe there'll be a more introspective lyrical trend for pop music in general? There's been a few odd covers of r&b songs by emo groups and vice versa that makes me wonder...maybe the genre's finally gotten past the whole big-booty-bad-relationship-party-anyway thing?

Maybe I'm just dreaming.

Oh, and Atmosphere just released a new album a minute ago and I TOTALLY missed it. Such are the perils of being grown, boring, and having places to go and things to do that don't revolve around the local record store.

Oh, and there don't seem to be ANY big insta-hit summer albums coming out...how weird is that?
