U2 - Iris (Hold Me Close)

Sending admiration . . . I hope we are just getting started.

"Iris (Hold Me Close)" lyrics

The star
That gives us light
Has been gone a while
But it's not an illusion
The ache
In my heart
Is so much a part of who I am
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years to get here
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years, a thousand years

Hold me close, hold me close and don't let me go
Hold me close like I'm someone that you might know
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
Who we are
I've got your light inside of me
Iris, Iris

Once we are born, we begin to forget
The very reason we came
But you
I'm sure I've met
Long before the night the stars went out
We're meeting up again

Hold me close, hold me close and don't let me go
Hold me close like I'm someone that you might know
Hold me close, the darkness just lets us see
Who we are
I've got your light inside of me
Iris, Iris

The stars are bright but do they know
The universe is beautiful but cold

You took me by the hand
I thought that I was leading you
But it was you made me your man
Machine
I dream
Where you are
Iris standing in the hall
She tells me I can do it all
Iris wakes to my nightmares
Don't fear the world it isn't there

Iris playing on the strand
She buries the boy beneath the sand
Iris says that I will be the death of her
It was not me

Iris, Iris

She says
Free yourself to be yourself, if only you could see yourself
Free yourself to be yourself, if only you could see

Stop Everything! We have a fresh ABBA video.

ABBA - The Name Of The Game

. . .

ABBA is putting on an amazing state of the art show in London. We are always interested in whatever brilliance is forthcoming from this truly magical ensemble. Much love and gratitude for the amazing spirit and heart that they bring to us! This one shot right to my child-of-the-70s heart. ABBA’s been blowing my mind and I cannot wait to see what amazingness is coming next. I’m a total admirer.

Supernatural things are going on and I’m not always aware of everything but I am telepathic and I can be reached in that way. I’m very interested in harmony, genuine sentiment and healing and seeing what possibilities are up ahead. We are on new terrain and thank goodness for that. The previous road was quite the dead end. This is the brave new world.

"The Name Of The Game" lyrics

I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know..

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know..
Oh yes I wanna know..

The name of the game
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot

Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr - Beautiful Night

What a treasure. Long Live these wonderful artists with such a genuinely positive energy.

Here is a glimpse into the passion behind this gorgeous song and legendary producer George Martin is involved!

Beautiful Night Lyrics

Someone's gone out fishing
Someone's high and dry
Someone's on a mission to the lonely Lorelei
Some folks got a vision of a castle in the sky
And I'm left stranded, wondering why

You and me together
Nothing feels so good
Even if I get a medal from my local neighborhood
I won't need a castle, they've got castles in Versailles
And I'm still stranded, wondering why

Make it a beautiful night for me
It's a beautiful night for love
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold
Make it a beautiful night for me
It's a beautiful night for love
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold

Some boat's on the ocean
We're here in this room
Seems to me the perfect way to spend an afternoon
We can look for castles, pretty castles in the sky
No more wondering, wondering why

Things can go wrong, things can go right
Things can go bump in the dead of the night
So let me be there, let me be there
Let me be there with you in the dead of the night

Make it a beautiful night for me
It's a beautiful night for love
A wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold
Make it a beautiful night for me
Such a beautiful night for love
Such a wonderful sight for lovers of love to behold

Yeah, it's a beautiful night
Yeah, it's a beautiful night, ah

Yeah, a beautiful night, beautiful night
Yeah, it's such a beautiful night, beautiful, beautiful night, yeah

Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night
Beautiful night, beautiful night, beautiful night

George Ivan Morrison - If You Love Me

A doo wop throwback from the heart by George Ivan Morrison.

If You Love Me lyrics

If you love me
You will give your heart
Why should we be apart?
If you love me

If you love me
Baby, you will know the truth
I wasn't born to lose
And I love you

Affinity and communication
That makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so much to me

If I love you
I will find the key
If it's meant to be
'Cause, 'cause I love you, alright

Oh, affinity and communication
That makes, that makes, that makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so very much to me

If I love you, baby
I will find the key
And if it's meant to be, yes it is
And I love you, yes I do

And I love you, baby
I understand you

Kiss - God Gave Rock ‘N’ Roll To You

This is some Kiss truth here.

God Gave Rock ‘N’ Roll To You Lyrics

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for

You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

Now listen
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five

You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' 'till you realize
I gotta tell ya
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you put it in the soul
I know life sometimes can get tough and I know life sometimes can be a drag
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that road's name is rock and roll
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you

I Love It Loud Lyrics

Hey hey hey hey yeah

Stand up, you don't have to be afraid
Get down, love is like a hurricane
Street boy, no I never could be tamed
Better believe it

Guilty 'till I'm proven innocent
Whiplash, heavy metal accident
Rock on, I wanna be president
Cause I love it

Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Don't want no compromise

Turn it up, hungry for the medicine
Two fisted 'till the very end
No more treated like aliens
We're not gonna take it

No lies, no more alibis
Turn it up, got me hypnotized
Rock on, won't be tranquilized
Cause I love it

Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Right between the eyes

Leslie Odom Jr. - Stronger Magic

Check out this interesting heartfelt video about the magic war that is apparently underway. Listen to Leslie Odom Jr.’s album named Mr. here.

"Stronger Magic" lyrics

There's more to life than trying to be young all the time
I'm looking for some way to love you right
My darling girl, where did you come from?
And how are you not a grand design?

Some think it's just witchcraft, but I
I think it's more than that, 'cause
I think there's stronger magic at hand

Stronger magic, stronger magic
Stronger magic, stronger magic

There must be some little trick
Oh, in this big wide world
'Cause what plan could I ever devise
That don't have you by my side?
No high has ever felt so true
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Some think it's just witchcraft, but I
I think it's more than that, 'cause
I think there's stronger magic at hand

Stronger magic, stronger magic
Stronger magic, stronger magic
Stronger magic, stronger magic
Stronger magic, stronger magic
Stronger magic, stronger magic
Stronger magic

Rusty, Nick Lowe - Surrender To The Rhythm

I hope you will enjoy this showstopper by Rusty.

Surrender To The Rhythm lyrics

Well they danced to every tune the band could play
And just about midnight they decided to call it a day
But it was one thing that they left there on their minds, yeah yeah yeah
To get a little slice at any price yeah
They stole the shoes and rice
Surrender to the rhythm that is calling them home

He was dumb, he was dirty, but she was a princess
Custom made to fit right into his arms
She could thrill him, she could chill him, wooh down to the bone
But he was in his teens, he had to spill the beans
Still looking for ways and means
Surrender to the rhythm that is calling him home

Well who's to say if it's right or wrong
Not another singer in another song
I said we're doing alright
Yeah we're doing OK
We're doing OK

Well now guess what, guess what happened, guess what happened next
She said she had to go, said she was meeting up with one of her friends
But there was nothing more or less than another mess of the blues
But he had more to lose, started putting in clues
Oh yeah paying his dues
Surrender to the rhythm that is calling him home

Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender yeah to the rhythm

Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender yeah to the rhythm
