"I want a love I can see" Happy 2011...!!! THE TEMPTATIONS

The temptations- I want a love I can see



I want a love I can see
That's the only kind that means a thing to me
Don't want a love you have to tell me about
That kind of loving I can sure do without

I want a love I can feel
That's the only kind of loving I think is real
Don't want to be going by something I heard
'Cause baby, action speaks louder than words (louder than words)

I want a love that's mine
In the rain or in the sun, sun, sunshine
A love that will keep me warm when it's cold
The kind of love that will never grow old

Why, don't you know I want a love?
Why, don't you know I want a love?
Why, don't you know I want a love?

I want a love I can see
The kind of love that you could give to me
The kind of kisses to make, make me melt
The kind of love that can really be felt

Why, don't you know I want a love?
Why, don't you know I want a love?
Why, don't you know I want a love?

"I'm your man" LEONARD COHEN

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you

If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you

If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been runnin' through, these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep

Ah, but a man never got a woman back
Not by beggin' on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please
I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only wanna walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything that you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love...

"Everything happens to me" CHET BAKER

CHET BAKER


I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains.
I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains.
I guess I'll go through life, just catching colds and missing trains.
Everything happens to me.

I never miss a thing. I've had the measles and the mumps.
And every time I play an ace, my partner always trumps.
I guess I'm just a fool, who never looks before he jumps.
Everything happens to me.

At first, my heart thought you could break this jinx for me.
That love would turn the trick to end despair.
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me.
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air.

I've telegraphed and phoned and sent an air mail special too.
Your answer was goodbye and there was even postage due.
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you.
Everything happens to me.

I've telegraphed and phoned. I sent an air mail special too.
Your answer was goodbye and there was even postage due.
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you.
Everything happens to me.

"Down By The Riverside" Peace for 2011...!!!

Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Gonna stick my sword on the golden sand
Gonna lay down my heavy load
Gonna lay down my burdens
Gonna meet my lovely mother
Gonna meet my lovely brothers
And study war no more...

Louise Armstrong


LEADBELLY, Blues Guitar Legend


Gonna meet my mother, down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Gonna meet my mother, down by the riverside
And study war no more

Well, I ain't a-gonna study war no more
Ain't a-gonna study war no more
Ain't a-gonna study war no more

Gonna lay down my hand books, down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my hand books, down by the riverside
And study war no more

Well, I ain't a-gonna study war no more
Ain't a-gonna study war no more
Ain't a-gonna study war no more

Mahalia Jackson - Nearer, my God, to Thee! (Titanic Violin)

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone.
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

Titanic Violin: Nearer My God To Thee

Mahalia Jackson -- Silent Night Holy Night

Hmm, silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, oh, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"

Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town - 2007


You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

"Let it snow" by Dean Martin

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we´ve no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Man, It doesn´t show signs of stopping
And I´ve bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I´ll hate going out in the storm!
But if you´ll really hold me tight
All the way home I´ll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we´re still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! and snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I´ll hate going out in the storm!
But if you´ll really grab me tight
All the way home I´ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we´re still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow...!

Kylie Minogue "Chocolate"

Fragile seems
I opened up too quick and all my dreams
Were woken up, I slowly lost my fire
With every single man a river cried

I had no sensation
Completely numb, left with no satisfaction
I thought no one could ever get me high again
I swear, I was not looking

Oh, I waited so long
I thought the real thing was a fake
I thought it was a tool to break me down
You proved me wrong again

If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down

If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then
Melt me slowly down like chocolate

Tastes so good
My heart's been mended who'd have thought it would
An empty bed and still I won the cash
A man who I love and who loves me back

Oh, I waited so long
For love to heal me so I'd feel it
Thought it wasn't breathing then you came
You proved me wrong again

If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down

If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then
Melt me slowly down like a chocolate

Like chocolate, come here
Zoom in, catch the smile
There's no doubt, it's from you
And I'm addicted to it now

Just one look boy to melt me down
Just one heart here to save me now
Your candy kisses are sweet I know
Hold me tight baby don't let go

Livvi Franc "I'm Free"...An energetic way to start the day

The new Bajan Brit sensation. This video was filmed in barbados


Come and take a walk with me
I'm walking down the road of life
And I don't know where I'm headed
No wind may blow me back
But the sun might make me blinded
I've got the fire inside

"Christmas Is All Around"

Song created after the hit "Love is all around" for the film "Love actually"

CLIP from the film and the song creation from the classic Love is all around

Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) - Christmas Is All Around (Film "Love Actually" 2003)


I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Christmas is all around me
and so the feeling grows

It's written in the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love Christmas
C'mon and let it snow

You know I love Christmas
I always will
My mind's made up
The way that I feel
There's no beginning
There'll be no end
Cuz on Christmas
You can depend

You gave your presents to me
And I gave mine to you
I need Santa beside me
In everything I do

You know I love Christmas
I always will
My mind's made up
The way that I feel
There's no beginning
There'll be no end
Cuz on Christmas
You can depend

Cuz on Christmas
You can depend

It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
C'mon and let it show
C'mon and let it show
So if you really love
C'mon and let it
If you really love me
C'mon and let it
Now if you really love me
C'mon and let it show

Wet Wet Wet "Love Is All Around"

Cher "Believe"

Did you know this was the first song ever to use auto tune?
At the time no one knew or had ever heard of auto tune, having only been invented back in 1997. We were amazed at what they did with Cher's voice. That might sound weird now, but back then it was totally new. We had no idea at all, as to what was creating this different new sound. Everyone thought it was a vocoder. And look now, Autotune is everywhere!!!



After love, after love [repeat]

No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you

So sad that you're leaving
Takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one, Oh Oh

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough,
Now

What am I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait for you
And I can't do that
There's no turning back

I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you, Oh Oh

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough,
Now

But I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
Oh I don't need you anymore, I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough,
Now

ELVIS "Blue Christmas"

I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And the when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

Joan Armatrading "Show Some Emotion"

Show some emotion
Put expression in your eyes
Light up
If you're feeling happy
But if it's bad
Then let those tears roll down

Some people hurting
Someone choking up inside
Some poor souls dying
Too proud to say
They got no place to lie
And there's people
If they hear a joke
Can't keep the laugh
Out of their eye

I said
Show some emotion
Put expression in your eyes
Light up
If you're feeling happy
But if it's bad
Then let those tears roll down

Some people in love
But all they got's a photography
How can they get it
Too scared
To open their mouth
To ask

I said
Show some emotion
Put expression in your eyes
Light up
If you're feeling happy
But if it's bad
Then let those tears roll down

Come on try
Learn to bleed
When you get a bad fall
Light up
Light up
Light up
If it's nice
But if it's bad
Then let those tears roll down

Joan Armatrading "The weakness in me"

Soundtrack Film: 10 Things I Hate About You - The Weakness In Me


Im not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you, I gave my affection, right from the start.
i have a lover who loves me - how could I break such a heart?
Yet still you get my attention, right from the start.

Why do you come here, when you know Ive got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?
Make me lie when I dont want to,
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
You make me stay when I should not?
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me.
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?

I need to see you - I need to hold you - tighhhht-lyyy.

Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound,
But the new love cuts deep.
If I choose now, I'll lose out;
One of you has to fall...
And I need you, and you ...

Why do you come here, when you know Ive got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know I cant answer the phone?
Make me lie I do not want to,
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
You make me stay when I should not
Are you so strong, resolve the weakness in me.

Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?

I need to see you
And I need to hold you - tighhhht-lyyy

Joan Armatrading "The Weakness In Me"

Joan Armatrading "Willow"

Joan Armatrading performs a longtime crowd favorite - Willow, live in a rehearsal studio somewhere in the UK.


I may not be your best
You know good ones
Don't come by the score
If you've got something missing
I'll help you look
You can be sure

And if it's money you want
Or trouble halved
Whatever you want me to do
All you got to do is ask

Thunder
Don't go under the sheets
Lightning
Under a tree
In the rain and snow
I'll be your fireside

Come running to me
When things get out of hand
Running to me
When it's more than you can stand

I said I'm strong
Straight
Willing
To be a shelter
In a storm
Your willow
Oh willow
When the sun is out

A fight with your best girl
Prettiest thing you ever saw
You know I will listen
Try to get a message to her

And if you want to be alone
Or someone to share a laugh
Whatever you want to do
All you got to do is ask

I said I'm strong
Straight
Willing
To be a shelter
In a storm
Your willow
Oh willow
When the sun is out

Recorded 2007 at the Rockpalast in Cologne / Germany, included in the Album "Into the Blues". Armatrading's music is considered to be mostly pop with forays into blues, rock, folk, jazz, and even reggae.

Coldplay - Christmas Lights

Christmas night, another fight
Tears we cried a flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Poison in my blood

Took my feet, to Oxford street
Trying to right a wrong
"Just walk away", those windows say
But I can't believe she's gone

When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

A group of candles on there flicker
Oh they flicker and they flow
And I'm up here holding on
to all those chandeliers of hope

Like some drunkard Elvis singing
I go singing out of tune
Singing how I always loved you darling
And I always will

Oh when I'm still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on

Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
Then all my troubles will be gone
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on

Oh Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas lights, keep shining on.

"Jingle bells "

Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby


Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the hills we go
Laughing all the way.

Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Isn't it just a lot of fun?
