Returning... Not yet here but returning...

When I see that it's been five months since I have written anything here I can't believe it... it makes me sad that I haven't even visited my Blog or the Blogs of my friends... Sorry dear friends!
My Blog has been deserted, left alone... gathering virtual dust in the wide open space that is the dark galaxy of the net. I wonder if my Blog is angry with me because of this... I don't think so because he still had a smiling face to welcome me when I typed in his address :)

Why did I dissappear? To tell you the truth I really don't know... I haven't been inspired to write anything, not one poem or thought in my mind.
My life has been a rollercoaster of joy and pain these past 5 months... I'm still very happy in my relationship, that part hasn't changed and I thank God for that every single day, but it's life that has been knocking me for six; punching me in the stomach and taking all my breath away most days.
Problems not finding enough work, not knowing if I will have food in my fridge next week, pondering the thought of how it would be if I can no longer pay my rent in my apartment... the problems and stress that everybody has. Is it God's way of saying "Hey! Don't fall asleep in your life! I'm watching you and I have the power to control everything!"
I hope he gives me a break soon... hell I've been through too much already, don't I deserve a break?!
I'm trying and fighting for my life to improve every single day, to the extent that I'm not thinking about anything else! I'm doing everything I can to get more work and earn a decent salary. I hope you're listening God because I'm desperate!

So as I said, I'm returning... I'm not yet home but looking around and seeing all the old familiar things and furniture in my Blog. Maybe I'll sit here a while in this happy room and search my mind for something interesting and enlightening to say... don't hold your breath, it may take a while!!

"Dance Into The Future" - New Original Song By Me

Dance into the future, baby,
Walk into the light,
Kick the dirt from under your feet,
And dance right out of sight.

The future's round the corner, baby,
Calling me back home,
I'm walking in my new shoes,
In the places that I roam.

Dance into the future, baby,
I'm laughing all the way,
Nothing's gonna make me blue,
It's a golden sunny day.

"You Take Me To The Moon" - Original Poetry By Me

I’m high on love and high on life,
A high I never knew,
I’m floating on love’s ceiling,
And it’s all because of you.

Your heart has made me smile,
My smile that I thought had gone,
Your eyes have shown me paradise,
In your arms I now belong.

Your touch just makes me tremble,
Your look just makes me swoon,
Your love it gives me everything,
And you take me to the moon.

New Home Sweet Home!

Sorry I haven't been around to visit blogs or write a new post here for over one month... :(

You see I had been house-hunting here for over 4 months and now (after renting a different holiday apartment every month for those 4 months - yes, moving every single month = nightmare!) I have finally found a fixed apartment!

So onto another new start....
But now the real fun begins: moving all my things from my old home to the new one, drilling holes in walls for pictures, mirrors and curtain poles, putting up curtains, installing washing machine, setting up my home entertainment room, setting up PC, decorating the guest room (Dad's room) decorating the bedroom, buying endless new stuff seen in shops that "will look great in bedroom, bathroom, Dad's room, Living Room..." and the list goes on...
But it's great that I have a strong hunky Boyfriend to help me with all the heavy stuff! hehe ;)

If anyone is a dab hand at putting up curtains, picking out duvets and sheets, cleaning rugs, and all those things that Mum, Auntie Pat, Auntie Linda and Nanny did so well please let me know any tips or hints as I am useless with all those things and so stressed! and I can't wait until I'm all settled into my new Home Sweet Home!!

And I promise I'll try to be around more often! I will "Resume Normal Business" as soon as all the stress is over!

Oh, and I almost forgot: Yaaaaay! Rio 2016!!!!! Big parties here!!!!! :)
After Rio de Janeiro winning the official award for the "World's Happiest City" it was a wonderful "icing on the cake" by being chosen to host the Olympics! Oh yes It's going to be beautiful! :D

Rio de Janeiro - The World's Happiest City!!

Oh Rio how I love you!!!!!!

Rio de Janeiro has officially been voted the happiest City in the world by Forbes magazine... Top of the list... and you can read the report on the official site here

I've lived here for over ten years now and can say with my hand on my heart that Rio really does deserve this fantastic award, nowhere have I ever experienced the absolutely positive joy of life and joy of living and loving that Brazilians have, and for these reasons and so much more I would never want to live anywhere else in the world! All this without speaking about the natural beauty that exists within the city! A city surrounded by beautiful mountains and deep blue sea, a city where you can leave your work, go to the beach and be watched over by the wonderful spiritual Christ statue (Cristo Redentor) standing up there high in the crimson blue Carioca sky as you soak the stress of the day away.

Yes Rio has it's problems, mainly the most publicised ones of violence and poverty, but it's got better over the years (there are a lot of over-hyped stories)
Rio has always been a city with all types of social levels living together; lower, middle and upper classes all walking along the same beaches, soaking up the same Carioca sun, drinking fruit juice or beers in the same bars, buying the same food in the supermarkets, sharing the same pure air - everyone living together and getting along, smiling every day no matter what.

For me Rio de Janeiro is absolutely unique, I've travelled to many cities in the world but have never fell in love instantly with a place like I did with Rio the very first day that I got off of the airplane and touched the red hot tarmac.
The city has a magic about it, you feel it in the air... I felt it that very first day that I arrived here, it encapsulates you, charms you, takes your breath away and makes you fall in love... just like the Cariocas (the name given to people who are from Rio de Janeiro) themselves.

And the Cariocas?! Here the people are incomparable!! I have no words to explain the wonderful energy and spirit of living that everyone has! You could be sitting at a kiosk or bar alone and within ten minutes you would have four or five new friends.
There is a famous expression here in Brazil which is: "Sou Brasileiro e desiste nunca" (I'm Brazilian and I never give up) which is so true... Brazilians have this wonderful way about them that no matter how bad the situation in life they never give up, never allow themselves to be beaten and never stop smiling in the face of adversity.
I am also like this now, I have become Carioca, or maybe I always was... because the very first day I set foot in this wonderful, beautiful, fantastic city I felt like I had come home, I really did, for the first time in my life I felt like I belonged somewhere.

Going to the beach here is an experience in itself, you make your way to the sand and the energy is all around you... a huge community of people, beautiful strangers all joined together, soaking up the energy of Rio's sun, sand and sea, people talking, laughing, sunbathing, dating. A day at the beach is like a huge social outing, especially the weekends when most of the city heads for the sand.

Those of you that have never been to Rio de Janeiro and personally experienced all this wonderful energy and beauty should get a flight here as soon as you can!!
And I can speak from my own personal experience that there is no place in the world like Rio de Janeiro to fall in love! especially when the love of your life turns out to be Brazilian!

Million Dollar Bill

This is the new highly-anticipated comeback single from Whitney Houston called "Million Dollar Bill"
It's written by Alicia Keys and has a great positive vibe about the joys of love - a real anthem with it's roots set firmly in the 80s and 90's! This new single is from her new CD called "I Look To You" a must-buy for Whitney Houston fans.
It's great to see Whitney back on top after many years of problems not unlike Amy Winehouse!!

Now everyone all together: "Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!"

Enjoy the single and lyrics!:

http://

Oh oh oh yeah
Ooh oh ooh oh oh
Came in the door
Checked in my coat
And who I'm looking for is Staring in my face oh oh oh
They played our song
We hit the floor
He held me strong
And we danced the night away
I can see the way that he is making feel
This way about his love
I’ve been looking for something like this
I’m saying ooh oh oh oh ooh oh oh!

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
If you go left right up down
Make you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

It’s been a long long time
Since I fell, fell
Love has found my way oh oh oh
I’ve been looking (looking)
I’ve been searching (searching)
For the man to touch this place, oh ooh oh yeah
Can’t deny the way that he is making feel
This way about his love
I’ve been searching for something like this
I’m saying oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
Makes you go left right up down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!
If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
Makes you go left right up down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

If you feel good
If you’re feeling good
Put one hand in the air, say yeah
If you feel good
If you’re feeling good
It’s cause love is in the air
Love is in the air

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
Makes you go left right up down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!
If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
Makes you go left right up down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

Love Is A Brazilian Bossa Nova...

I haven't posted anything here for a while, apart from a couple of poems, and I'd like to say sorry to everyone for not being around so often...

I don't have much to say that I haven't already said, except that I am ecstatically happy, over-flowing with love and joy and am spending every moment that I can with My Love... this wonderful, amazing, fantastic, loving man who has been sent to me like a Brazilian Bossa Nova song from the skies, like a gift from God, and who has filled my life with colour... my life that was once so black and white.

For Claudinho:
I never thought I'd ever feel this way... All I can think about is you, all I can dream about is you, all I can look at is you... I can't concentrate on anything else at all.
I look at you, think of you, dream of you, touch you, hear your voice, feel your touch and see your beauty and I am smiling 24 hours a day, my heart is beating 50 times faster and the reason for all of this is you, Meu Amor - Eu Te Amo.

Thank you God for sending me My Love, Meu Amor! And thank you Claudinho for teaching me how to love again, for giving me the courage to fall head over heels for you (which wasn't difficult), for showing me that so much love and affection exists in your arms, and for showing me that life is full of such wonderful, fantastic, perfect surprises!

Yes I am ecstatically happy! :)

"I've Loved And Learned"- Original Poetry By Me

I've had my years of sadness,
And I've had my years of joy,
I've ran along the road of life,
Just like a little boy.

Been in the hands of a monster,
And he almost took my life,
I escaped but I just don't know how,
Maybe because he dropped the knife...

Then I thought that I'd found happy,
Spent years within that dream,
Sometimes you wake up suddenly,
Things are just not what they seem...

Lost my best friend David at 24,
That shook me right down to my soul,
I'll never forget the secret kiss you gave,
Going home from our clubland troll.

But Mum oh how I miss you!
You're my greatest loss of all,
Still think of you and my tears just stream,
Still wanting your daily phone call.

Now my life has changed again,
And I hope it's full of light,
I'm singing in the moonlight glow,
And dancing through the night.

Regrets I've only had a few,
Even though I have been burned,
My life was for a reason,
And at least I've loved and learned...

"Prime" - A Romantic Gem!

This film is fast becoming one of my favourites: "Prime" starring Meryl Streep, Uma Thurman and Bryan Greenberg.
No it's not a summer blockbuster, it's not a special-effects laden film, and it wasn't a huge success at the cinema either - in my opinion it was hugely overlooked amongst all the big blockbusters at the time...
but if you have the time and want to settle down and watch a wonderful funny, sad and romantic little film about the human heart and the love that surrounds us, regardless of age or religion then rent this little gem on Dvd! In fact it's a perfect film to watch at home on Dvd.

Uma Thurman is "Rafi" a 30 something career woman who has recently divorced her husband and is regularly seeing her therapist "Lisa" played by an extremely funny Meryl Streep.
Soon Rafi begins a relationship with 23 year old "David" and finds true happiness for the first time in years. However she confides in her therapist and tells her everything about the affair and how she (or rather everyone else) is concerned about the age difference and also the fact that being as he is Jewish and she is not that there are also conflicts within his family for him to only have relationships within his own faith.

Needless to say they fall in love, unexpected things happen at the therapist's office, unexpected secrets are revealed and the fun and games begin with Meryl Streep stuck in the middle!

It's not the usual sappy romantic comedy with all the expected things happening (as much as I love those films too!) and it's nothing like those films where you already know the ending before the film has begun, it's totally unexpected and full of wonderful little surprises.

In my opinion it's one of Uma Thurman's best roles... she gives a subtle but strong performance that is full of heart and emotion and as always Meryl Streep shines! Every role I have seen her in just seems like it was made for her; but then that is the power of a true actress! And newcomer Bryan Greenberg holds his own against these two strong women and he is proving to be an up and coming talent.

See it soon with someone you love, or watch it alone, either way you will be left with a warm fuzzy feeling all over and the need to kiss the nearest person to you as the end credits roll!!

I loved it!!! But then, as you all know, I'm a romantic fool!!!!!

The Meaning Of Love To Me...

At this wonderful, joyous time in my life, a new beginning where I feel happier than I have ever felt in many, many years, which isn't really true as I can't remember ever being this happy before... I often find myself stopping and looking at my life from the outside and see a person overjoyed with love, adoration and happiness and all of this is thanks to Claudinho, who has reminded me that wonderful, fantastic, loving, caring, beautiful, honest, faithful and genuine people DO exist in this world.
He has made me see that love is greater than anything else in the world and I can't think about anybody or anything else.... nobody and nothing else seems to matter now and I find myself smiling every minute of the day and night, I even wake up from dreams with a feeling of overflowing love and happiness.

The feeling I now feel is as if I have just woken up from many years spent in a coma and my life is only just now beginning, and the reason is you Meu Amor. You are the greatest gift that I have been given.

So what is love? Some scientific people say that it is just a chemical that the human body and brain creates to help reproduction, but I'm not a scientist and I dont have a scientific brain, my brain and heart are those of a pure romantic and I don't believe any of that scientific stuff.
I'm a romantic soul and for me love is something that magically appears when two people are so wonderful for one another, when the chemistry and physical attraction overflow with excitement and passion and the hearts and bodies of two people join together to become one and in return results in the sharing of everything together, a new life is created.

No chemical can create what I am feeling now, it's not chemical; it's all natural. The pure love and happiness that I feel when we are together, the longing that I desperately feel when we are apart and all the times in between when I only have you on my mind, your name on my lips, your touch on my skin, your voice in my ears, your beauty in my heart, your smell on my body and all your love washing over me like a river of endless passionate kisses.

Yes I'm truly blessed and I know it! Blessed to have found you, blessed to feel all your love and kisses, and blessed to know and understand the true meaning of love... the meaning of love to me... and it's all because of you!

Te Amo Muito Meu Amor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

"Amor Amor Amor" - Original Poetry By Me

Our love has taken me higher,
So much higher than before,
Feelings now much stronger,
Fall into your arms Amor.

And each time we are together,
You charm me with your love,
Your loving ways are everything,
And your kisses fly above.

You are the one I've dreamed of,
And now we wear our rings,
So happy; so together,
With all the joy love brings.

So once again I tell you,
That you're everything to me,
As we walk hand in hand,
For all the world to see.

Amor you've changed my life,
So in love like never before,
You are my Brazilian Beauty,
Meu Amor Amor Amor.

Never Be Afraid To Be Yourself...

Reading back over some past posts of mine I found the words that my Mum had written in a card that she gave me the very last time that I saw her, the day that I came to live in Brasil.
It was from the post "Scenes From Another Room: My Story - Part 2"
She wrote the card as I was sleeping the very last night that we spent together in London. She hadn't been able to sleep and spent almost all night in the kitchen thinking, crying and writing these words to me:

My Beautiful Darling Son,
This week has been the worst week of my life, knowing that I am losing you. I've tried to hide it from you as I didn't want to spoil our last week together. Go and live your life and always be happy, the way that I have seen you these past few months. Travel as much as you can and see the world and then when you write home and tell me all about it I will live through your eyes and see everything that you have seen. I can't tell you how blessed I feel to have a Son as wonderful as you, as loving as you, as thoughtful and kind as you are.
Always follow your dreams, anything you want to do just do it because too much time is spent in life thinking about whether or not we should do something and worrying about what other people think, so never be afraid to be yourself...
I've put three thousand pounds in this card so that you have some money to fall back on should you need it, but if times are ever hard out there let us know and we will send you some more. I love you, I love you, I love you! and see you next Christmas!
All my love, Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That time was terrible for both of us and I can say without a doubt in my mind that it was the hardest thing about coming to live here, knowing that I would be far from my Mother who was always the biggest inspiration in my life, my biggest support, and never in a million years would I have imagined that only one year later she would be gone from my life forever.

But reading those words of her's again now she reminds me why I have always sought happiness in my life.... it has always been my Mother who has given me the inspiration to seek happiness, to grasp opportunities to be happy and to live my life every single day.
So I don't feel sad when I read her beautiful words to me.... I smile.
I feel extremely lucky and blessed to have had an extremely loving and modern Mother who showed me so much love every single day of my life, who supported me through good times and bad times, and taught me that all kinds of love are important in this world and that nobody has anything to be ashamed of; if they love somebody of the same sex, of a different colour or religion... She always said "Love is love in any language, no matter what"

She was, and still is, so important to me in my life that I know that she is always still around, I feel her around me so often, and there's no doubt that she is smiling for me now in this extremely happy and joyful new beginning in my life!

I love you forever Mum! Walk by my side always and whenever I need you I will reach out to hold your hand...

"Everything Is You" - Original Poetry By Me

When I'm by your side I'm happy,
A happy that I've never been,
Secretly holding hands on buses,
Stealing kisses in between.

When I'm alone I think of you,
And all the wonderful things you are,
Your laughter, looks and tenderness,
You are my Brazilian Star.

When I sleep at night I dream of you,
With a smile fixed on my face,
I hear your words all full of love,
They fly around the place.

But when we are together,
Oh together: no greater power,
I want those moments to last eternally,
Kiss you forever in the shower.

What I'm saying is you've rocked my world,
I love you; everything you are and do,
For me, my love, you're everything,
And everything is you.

"Amazing" - Original Poetry By Me

I'm running a fever,
My heart's gonna blow,
Crazy in love,
It's amazing you know!

See the sun in your hair,
The sea on your skin,
See the love in your eyes,
This heaven we're in.

Wanna shout from the rooftops,
This poet's in love!
A kiss from your lips,
Sends me soaring above.

Meu amor, eu te amo!
Meu coração e seus,

Seus olhos falar tudo,

Meu presente de Deus.

And I can't think of nothing,
Just you, only you...
I'm yours so completely,
I'm yours oh so true.

Because your love is like magic,
With your touch I take flight,
As you kiss me and hold me,
All through the night.

Oh this feeling's amazing,
Amazing is you!
And amazing is us,
And our love oh so true.

The Way He Makes Me Feel

This beautiful song by Barbra Streisand just says it all for me...

http://

There's no chill and yet I shiver
There's no flame and yet I burn
I'm not sure what I'm afraid of
And yet I'm trembling

There's no storm yet I hear thunder
And I'm breathless why I wonder
Weak one moment then the next I'm fine
I feel as if I'm falling Every time I close my eyes
And flowing through my body Is a river of surprise
Feelings are awakening I hardly recognize as mine

What are all these new sensations
What's the secret they reveal
I'm not sure I understand
But I like the way I feel

Oh why, why, why, why, oh Why is it that every time I close my eyes he's there
The water shining on his skin, The sunlight in his hair
And all the while I'm thinking things
That I can't wait to share with him...

I'm a bundle of confusion
Yet it has a strange appeal
Did it all begin with him And the way he makes me feel
I like the way he makes me feel, he makes me feel,
I like the way, I like the way he makes me feel.

Back To Life

"So I held my breath and jumped..."

First of all I want to say sorry for not being around so much but I have had some very good reasons...

All my dear blogging friends and people who have been following my blog will know that the past four or five months have been extremely difficult for me. I ended a long-term relationship of 13 years and even though I hadn't been happy for the last 5 years of it it was still a very stressfull time for me as I needed to re-start my life without knowing what the next day would bring... not knowing if I would be o.k. and if I could survive it all.
I decided that I couldn't spend the rest of my life in that situation and that if I didn't make a decision it would risk my future happiness and well-being, so I held my breath and jumped...
But even though it was a very scary time it was also very exciting to actually not know where the future would be taking me, there's something very energizing and therapeutic about all of that... So I made myself strong, kept a one-track mind and just thought about myself and my happiness in life, it was the best decision I have ever made, thank God that I have got through the worst.

I moved back to Rio alone and I am still in a transition, professionally speaking, as I am having interviews and looking for work. But I am optimistic and I know that everything will work out for me as I have some wonderful guardian angels looking after me and guiding me in the right directions, I truly believe that, as my life has always worked out o.k. in the past and out of every terrible situation that I have been through there has always been joy and happiness at the other side of the tunnel. Maybe it's just the way that I deal with things, thinking positively and striving to improve everything in my life without distractions. I know that I am stronger than I think and it is at these times that I truly surprise myself as to what I can be capable of, but I like to think that there is a spiritual side to it all and that we only have a certain amount of control of our destinies - everything is already mapped out for us.

But something truly wonderful has happened to me: I'm in love, but so in love!! and I am the happiest I have been in many years.
His name is Claudinho, he is 25 years old, moreno (which is the name given to a Brazilian with naturally tanned skin), Carioca (which is the name given to someone from Rio de Janeiro), dark hair, dark eyes, a typical Brazilian latin guy and extremely handsome, loving, funny and caring.
We are in a serious relationship and I can't think about anything else in this world and I feel ten years younger!
We go out every weekend, we go to the beach and we have a great time.... life is so wonderful!!!

There's been rain and storms in my life, there's been heartache, pain, loss and tears, but the sun has come out and shone onto my life, bringing me golden love, happiness, laughter and joy, and boy do I deserve it!!!

Whoever my God is I thank you for getting me through all of this and giving me back my smile and laughter, throughout everything I never lost faith.

This is dedicated to you Claudinho - Eu Te Amo!!!!!

"Happiness" - Original Poetry By Me

A summer breeze has lifted me,
And blown right through my soul,
A lightness fills my body,
As I climb out of my hole.

Can it be dark days are over?
Can it be they're out of sight?
Can it be I'm no longer surrounded,
By artificial light?

It has been a rollercoaster,
And I've been screaming to get off,
Losing faith within myself,
I was the flame that burns the moth.

But something good has happened,
I've been sent a gift of love,
And I know that my Mum sent it,
From her home there up above.

So I continue walking,
I no longer feel a mess,
My heart is singing the joy of life,
And it's full of happiness.

Keane - Try Again (Live at the O2 Arena, London)

The soundtrack to my life at the moment continues to be any song by the fantastic British band Keane and this track is just beautiful...

Every time he sings the part:
"God I wish you could see me now, you'd pick me up and you'd sort me out."
I instantly think of my Mum and the tears arrive (regular readers of my blog will know that she was an extremely strong woman and an extremely loving Mother who helped me through many truly difficult times in my life, supported me unconditionally and gave me strength to get through everything. She passed away shortly after I came to live in Brasil)
because I know that she would "pick me up and sort me out" with just a few words of advice, her wisdom and her love.

So on a day when I feel so, so low, am wishing that my Mum was here and I am thinking "God I wish you could see me now" I wanted to post this beautiful song and music video: "Try Again" by Keane.

There's no words that could describe it, or do it justice, as it is so, so beautiful.... so enjoy!

http://

Try Again

I fell asleep on a late night train
I missed my stop and I went round again
Why would I wanna see you now?
To fix it up, make it up somehow
Baby I'll try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

What I was isn't what I am
I'd change back but I don't know if I can
Still I'll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

But I was made the way I am
I'm not a stone; I'm just a man
Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine
Reap back the time that we've been wasting

God I wish you could see me now
You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out
Baby I'll try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

The Universal

This classic song "The Universal" by the British band Blur, from 1995, reminds me so much of my crazy life in London during the 90's, a decade of excess and decadence in a job where I had no time to think about, or do anything else, but work and be constantly tired... the only thing that was always with me on a daily basis was the music and my life was surrounded by the music of that time.
Even now that hasn't changed for me as I am always constantly surrounded by music from the time that I wake up until the time I sleep, my life has always been that way and I couldn't exist without music.

Hearing the song again now in a new phase of my life gives so much upliftment, it's joyful and I feel it's a song about hope... it gives me hope anyway; hope for a better future...

And if only all songs and music videos were so wonderfully creative like this these days! Just listen to the string arrangements! And the chorus! And the artisic attention to detail in the music video in capturing the Kubrick fantasy!

Put your feet up, have a cup of tea or coffee and watch the music video as you enter a Clockwork Orange world! ;)

The Universal

This is the next century
Where the universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future has been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing a long
Although the words are wrong

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

No one here is alone, satellites in every home
Yes the universal's here, here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow is your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go
Well, it really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go
Just let them go

Spinning The Wheel

One of my many, many favourite songs by George Michael is "Spinning The Wheel" and yes I did name my Blog after that song!! ;)
George has a genius talent for writing the most beautiful lyrics and putting them together with his wonderful music, he is in my opinion the best singer/songwriter on the planet!

So if you haven't already heard the song and seen the music video sit back and enjoy it here! And if you do already know the song just sit back and enjoy it again and listen to the wonderful poetic lyrics hidden within a fantastic contemporary song!

Spinning The Wheel

spin the wheel
spin the wheel
spin the wheel
spin the wheel

Five o'clock in the morning
you ain't home
I can't help thinking that's strange,
Yeah yeah, baby
I just want you to know
I won't go through it again
Yeah yeah

Those clouds are closing in
Baby love
and I will not accept this as a part of my life
I will not live in fear
of what may be, yeah
and the lessons I have learned...
I would rather be alone than watch you spinning that wheel for me

You've got a thing about danger
ain't you getting what you want from me?
you've got a thing about strangers
baby that's what we used to be
you've got a thing about danger baby
I guess the hungry just can't see
one of these days you're gonna bring some home to me...

Six o'clock in the morning
you ain't phoned
I can't help thinking that's strange
Yeah yeah
it seems that everybody takes their chances these days
oh yeah, we're standing in the rain
Baby love

And I will not accept this as a part of my life
I will not live in fear of what may be
and the lessons I have learned...
I would rather be alone than watch you spinning, spinning that wheel for me...

Got a thing about danger
ain't you getting what you want from me?
Baby don't you love that trash!
Got a thing about strangers
Baby that's what we used to be
I know you're always chasing that arse
like it's going out of fashion, baby
I guess the hungry just can't see
One of these days you're gonna bring some home to me...

How can you love me?
when you are playing with my life!
you say give me time and I'll do better, I swear!
give me time and I'll lead you back to despair...
and I don't want to go back there...
I don't want to go back there...
Never going back to that and that's a fact, baby!
one of these days you're gonna bring some home to me...
to me...
