I just watched War of the Worlds (again), the new version with Tom Cruise. I know he comes in for a lot of stick but I do like him, maybe it's because he's a shorty too. lol
For me the one thing that I found wanting to hear was this track from the musical version... this track is so haunting and pushes my memory buttons yet again. I think Justin Hayward to be a great artist, genius even.
I just watched the film version of The Phantom of The Opera.
Although nowhere near as good as the stage performance it did stir memories. Here’s one of the many songs from that great show. The lyrics to this song remind me of life in general, even if you don't listen to the song please give some time to just read the lyrics. Enjoy.
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade!
Hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade . . .
Masquerade!
Look around -
there's another
mask behind you!
Flash of mauve . . .
Splash of puce . . .
Fool and king . . .
Ghoul and goose . . .
Green and black . . .
Queen and priest . . .
Trace of rouge . . .
Face of beast . . .
Faces . . .
Take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .
Eye of gold . . .
Thigh of blue . . .
True is false . . .
Who is who . . .?
Curl of lip . . .
Swirl of gown . . .
Ace of hearts . . .
Face of clown . . .
Faces . . .
Drink it in, drink it up,
till you've drowned
in the light . . .
in the sound . . .
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows,
spinning reds . . .
Masquerade!
Take your fill -
let the spectacle
astound you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances,
turning heads . . .
Masquerade!
Stop and stare
at the sea of smiles
around you!
Masquerade!
Seething shadows
breathing lies . . .
Masquerade!
You can fool
any friend who
ever knew you!
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs,
peering eyes . . .
Masquerade!
Run and hide -
but a face will
still pursue you!
I have a love for music and ‘feel good films’. So finding myself with a bit of ‘me’ time the other night I noticed an old film was to be shown, ‘old’?!! well by my standard.
It was one of those films that I would see being advertised but just never fancied it. On this particular night I was bored of sitting at the pc and this film was all that was showing.
I cracked open a tin of Cadburys Roses chocs (unopened since Xmas) snuggled up on my sofa, and watched this ‘film’.
What a delight. A good film, a good night.
Oh the film ... Coyote Ugly!
Under the lover-sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well just wait until
'Til the sun goes down
Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling so right
It will steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know
That you, can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart
But you know, But you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight..No
You can't fight it...
It's gonna get to your heart
There's no escaping love
Once a gentle breeze
Weaves a spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long
'Til you're in my arms
Underneath the starlight, starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know
That you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight...
No You can't fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you
(You're gonna know
That I know)
Don't try, you're never gonna win, oh
Underneath the starlight, starlight,
There's a magical feeling, so right
It'll steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart,
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart,
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart
