Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song
This is my ringtone and every time my cell phone rings I start to sing the words. This song (and group) just give me goose bumps.
THE BARD'S SONG: IN THE FOREST
Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song
Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs
There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story
Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too
This is my ringtone and every time my cell phone rings I start to sing the words. This song (and group) just give me goose bumps.

"Trains And Winter Rains" by one of my all-time favorite new age artists, Enya , who has has a new album titled "And Winter Came" coming out on 11/11/08
City Streets passing by,
Underneath stormy skies.
Neon signs in the night,
Red and blue city lights.
Cargo trains rolling by,
Once again someone cries.
Trains and winter rains,
No going by, No going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.
Everytime, it’s the same.
One more night, one more train.
Everywhere empty roads,
Where they go, no one knows.
Trains and winter rains,
No going by, No going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.
Da, da, da, da…
Trains and winter rains,
No going by, No going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.
Trains and winter rains,
No going by, No going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.

Ennio Marchetto is an amazing entertainer and is The Living Cartoon aka..the world famous quick change comedian. I plan to see him live in Athens in November 2008 [details here].
(Notice the little details like how he makes Cher appear or how well he impersonates Celine Dion's hand gestures).

Feel-good Friday flicks are back with a song I'm stuck to, crank it up and "clap hands, c'mon!"
This is the official music video for Nikka Costa's new single "Stuck To You," directed by Alma Harel. "Stuck To You" appears on the Stax Records / GoFunkYourself album PEBBLE TO A PEARL, in stores October 14th, 2008.
FUN FACT: Nikka's trumpet player got lost on the way to the video shoot and couldn't find the place. Turned out that the catering guy was a trumpet player so they used him instead!

Blackmore's Night: Under The Violet Moon
Guaranteed to make you feel good if you sing along the HEYS!
Dancing to the feel of the drum
Leave this world behind
We'll have a drink and toast to ourselves
Under a Violet Moon
Tudor Rose with her hair in curls
Will make you turn and stare
Try to steal a kiss at the bridge
Under a Violet Moon
Raise your hats and your glasses too
We will dance the whole night through
We're going back to a time we knew
Under a Violet Moon
Cheers to the Knights and days of old
the beggars and the thieves
living in an enchanted wood
Under a Violet Moon
Fortuneteller what do you see
Future in a card
Share your secrets, tell them to me
Under a Violet Moon
Close your eyes and lose yourself
In a medieval mood
Taste the treasures and sing the tunes
Under a Violet Moon
Tis my delight on a shiny night
The season of the year
To keep the lanterns burning bright
Under a Violet Moon

Husband went to the dentist's today. Got an old tooth root yanked out and came home with an eye patch because the anesthesia affected his eye nerves. Hence today's choice.

ABBA - Happy New Year
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...
Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Oasis - The Importance of Being Idle
A little black humor, a catchy tune, an excellent video.
I sold my soul for the second time
'Cause the man He don't pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said "Son, the bills are waiting"
My best friend called me the other night
He said "Man - are you crazy"
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said "Boy - you're lazy"
But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
Hey Hey
I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
Hey Hey
I lost my faith in the summer time
'Cause it don't stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I'm not complaining
I begged my doctor for one more line
He said "Son - words fail me"
It ain't no place to be killing time
Write it down, I'm just lazy
BUT I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

I watched the following video over at Windfall Woman's blog and I am adding it to my feel-good Friday-flicks because it's hilarious.
Here are the phrases every mother has heard herself say before. Comedian Anita Renfroe puts it all one hysterical 3-minute song: "Momsense", everything a mother says in one 24-hour period put to the music of the William Tell Overture.
Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepy head
Here's your clothes
And your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now
Get up and make your bed
Are you hot?
Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and your gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget you got to feed the cat
Eat your breakfast
The experts tell us it's the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at three today?
Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon
So you must play
Don't shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside
Don't play rough
Would you just play fair?
Be polite
Make a friend
Don't forget to share
Work it out
Wait your turn
Never take a dare
Get along
Don't make me come down there
Clean your room
Fold your clothes
Put your stuff away
Make your bed
Do it now
Do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn?
Would you like some hay
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone
Get Off the phone
Don't sit so close
Turn it down
No texting at the table
No more computer time tonight
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up
Where you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me
Makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom
Someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait 'til you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now
I thank you NOT to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew
Would appreciate
Take a bite
Maybe two
Of the stuff you hate
Use your fork
Do not you burp
Or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, Get the door
Don't get smart with me
Get a Grip
Get in here I'll count to 3
Get a job
Get a life
Get a PhD
Get a dose of...
I don't care who started it
You're grounded until your 36
Get your story straight
And tell the truth for once for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff
Would you jump too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before that
You're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straight when you walk
A place for everything
And everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Get your PJs on
Get in bed
Get a hug
Say a prayer with Mom
Don't forget
I love you
**KISS**
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because
Because
Because
Because
I said so
I said so
I said so
I said so
I'm the Mom

RED FLAG - Billy Talent
I only recently found out about this band and the punk rocker in me immediately took a liking to them. I think this song is characteristic of how young people feel about the world we are handing them down. They're mad at us (and rightly so). Maybe -just maybe- they'll set things right.
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Well I've never seen us act like this,
Our only hope is the minds of kids,
And they'll show us a thing or two
Our only weapons are the guns of youth,
It's only time before they tighten the noose,
And then the hunt will be on for you
The red flag waving never meant the same...
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like the smallest bee packs a sting,
Like a pawn checkmates a king,
We'll attack at the crack of dawn
Build a ladder if there's a wall,
Don't be afraid to slip and fall,
Speak for yourself, or they'll speak for you
The red flag waving never meant the same...
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like a fire, don't need water
Like a jury, needs a liar
Like riot, don't need order
Like a madman, needs a martyr
We don't need them!
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,

THE BARD'S SONG - Blind Guardian
A mesmerizing ballad by one of my favorite metal bands. This is their signature song. I was introduced to Blind Guardian a few years back when Daughter#1 too young to go to a gig in Athens by herself, asked me to accompany her because she just HAD to see them. We went and it was an amazing show. I was overwhelmed by the audience's energy. Nothing like an entire concert hall of people going from head-bannging (A.Lot.Of.It) to swaying back and forth to this tune. Magical.
Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song
Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs
There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
No one should ask you for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story
Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too
A mesmerizing ballad by one of my favorite metal bands. This is their signature song. I was introduced to Blind Guardian a few years back when Daughter#1 too young to go to a gig in Athens by herself, asked me to accompany her because she just HAD to see them. We went and it was an amazing show. I was overwhelmed by the audience's energy. Nothing like an entire concert hall of people going from head-bannging (A.Lot.Of.It) to swaying back and forth to this tune. Magical.
Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song
Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs
There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
No one should ask you for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story
Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too
