Taylor Dayne - Unstoppable



The funny places I end up, some nights! After checking out 'The Help' movie's trailer, I got "turned on" to Taylor Dayne's songs and...I had never heard this one. It's full of "good old" FUNK which is quite fun and...well...I'm sure the gents will enjoy the bathtub bits! ;-)

Hope you enjoy this fun song! LOVE Taylor's voice! :-)

Lyrics:

Sweet love buttercup
I wanna drink you up
Slowly from a fountain
Springtime, summer rain
like a hurricane
That’s blowin’
all around me
Everything you do
makes me feel so good
Everything you say
takes me far away
Everybody needs somebody to squeeze
I just wanna be that somebody you need

Chorus

You put me on the top
turn me all around
Shakin’ me all up
you’re takin’ me down
It’s unstoppable
my love for you
Just put me in your heart
don’t put me on a shelf
I’ll give you all I’ve got
to you and no one else
It’s unstoppable
my love for you

Everywhere you go
all of the ladies know
What you have to offer
You’re the kind of guy
who makes ’em feel alright
And I know why they’re talkin’
Cause nobody can do
exactly what you do
Nobody comes near
what you give to me
Baby open up
all of you I want
All of you I need
to reach that ecstacy

Chorus

Ahhhhhh ahhhhhh

Chorus

The Help Movie Trailer Official (HD)



I'm going to see this movie, tonight. It looks wonderful! I LOVE stories like this; people coming together for GOOD! :-)

So...I saw a couple of songs that were featured in this movie that sounded SO GOOD so...I'll feature those, below:

the first, here, is Mary J. Blige's song called 'The Living Proof.' It's really lovely; she wrote it, specifically, for this movie:



Lyrics:

It's gonna be a long long journey
It's gonna be an uphill climb
It's gonna be a tough fight
There's gonna be some lonely nights
But I'm ready to carry on
I’m so glad the worst is over (cos it almost took me out)
I can start living now ooh ooh
I feel like I can do anything
And finally I'm not afraid to breathe

[CHORUS]
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can’t deny the truth
Cos I’m the living proof
So many don’t survive
They just don’t make it through
But look at me oh ho
I’m the living proof - oh yes I am

Thinking 'bout how life's been painful
Took a while to learn how to smile
So now I’m gonna talk to my people oh oh
About the storm [2x] wo ooh
So glad the worst is over
I can start flying now oh ho
My best days are right in front of me
Yet I’m almost there
Cos now I’m free oh

[CHORUS]
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can’t deny the truth
Cos I’m the living proof
So many don’t survive
They just don’t make it through
But look at me, I’m the living proof

[BRIDGE]
I know where I’m going
Cos I know where I’ve been oh oh
I kind of feel strong as
I’m gonna stay strong keep going
That’s the way that I’ll win

[CHORUS]
Anything you say to me
And everything you do (everything you do)
You can’t deny the truth
Cos I'm the living proof
So many don’t survive
They just don’t make it through
But look at me, I’m the living proof

Nothing ‘bout my life’s been easy
But nothing’s gonna keep me down no
Cos I know a lot more today
And I know yesterday
So I’m ready to carry on

And...someone I grew up listening to but didn't much pay attention to who she was (as in...knew the tune, a bit, but didn't know the artist. You know how kids are! lol!) is Taylor Dayne and I just LOVE this song that she sings in this movie: it's called 'Change the World.' I LOVE the message of the song (even though I can't find hide nor hair of the lyrics, anywhere! Prob too new!) and it's just a real "feel GOOD" kind of song so...



Hope you enjoy these two beautiful songs until I come back w/my "take" on this movie! Both women have such STRONG voices! LOVE that!

Morcheeba - Rome Wasn't Built In A Day



I love the beat and message of this song. Fun vid, too! Hope you enjoy! :-)

Lyrics:

You and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

In this day and age it's so easy to stress
'Cause people are strange and you can never second guess
In order to love child we got to be strong
I'm caught in the crossfire why can't we get along

'Cause you and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

I'm having a daydream, we're getting somewhere
I'm kissing your lips and running fingers through your hair
I'm as nervous as you 'bout making it right
Though we know we were wrong, we can't give up the fight
Oh no

'Cause you and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll run away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

You and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

You and me (you and me) we're meant to be (meant to be)
Walking free (walking free) in harmony (in harmony)
One fine day (one fine day) we' ll ran away (we gonna ran away, we gonna ran away)
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

You and me (you and me) we're meant to be (meant to be)
Walking free (walking free) in harmony (in harmony)
One fine day (one fine day) we' ll fly away (we gonna ran away, we gonna ran away)
Don't you know that Rome wasn' t built in a day

Andrea Bocelli To Perform Free Central Park Show For PBS [Video]

Andrea Bocelli To Perform Free Central Park Show For PBS [Video]

If you've never heard Andrea Bocelli sing, before, I promise you, you're in for a treat if you watch this concert! I saw one of him, once, doing an outdoor concert (wish I could remember the venue and country!) which was absolutely amazing! I sat w/a lump in my throat the entire time, it was just so moving...sun setting in the background! How I love to listen to music, outside, in the summer! :-P

Colbie Caillat - I Never Told You



Love Colbie's beautiful voice! What I wouldn't give to be able to sing like her! All these songs that she sings, however, get me all choked up! :-/

Lyrics:

I miss those blue eyes
How you kissed me at night
I miss the way we sleep
Like there's no sunrise
Like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
I can't believe I still want you
After all the things we've
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

I see your blue eyes
Every time I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to when I'm not
Around you
It's like I'm not with me

But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
I can't believe I still want
You
After all the things we've
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
(still you're gone)
Can't believe that I still want
You
After all the things we've
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you
