A change is Gonna come -Sam Cooke

As Performed Sam Cooke (1964)


I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river, I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

I go to the movie, and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me "Don't hang around"
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees

There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come

Official video FIFA World Cup 2010: K'naan Wavin' Flag



This song was chosen as Coca-Cola's promotional anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Lyrics:
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

Born to a throne
Stronger than Rome
But violent prone
Poor people zone
But its my home
All I have known
Where I got grown
Streets we would roam
Out of the darkness
I came the farthest
Among the hardest
Survival

Learned from these streets
It can be bleak
Accept no defeat
Surrender, retreat

So we struggling
Fighting to eat
And we wondering
When we'll be free
So we patiently wait
For that fateful day
It's not far away
But for now, we say

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

So many wars
Settling scores
Bringing us promises
Leaving us poor

I heard them say
Love is the way
Love is the answer
That's what they say

But look how they treat us
Make us believers
We fight their battles
Then they deceive us

Try to control us
They couldn't hold us
But we just move forward
Like Buffalo Soldiers

But we struggling
Fighting to eat
And we wondering
When we'll be free

So we patiently wait
For that fateful day
It's not far away
But for now we say

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes...

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

And then it goes...

And then it goes...

And everybody will be singing it...

And you and I will be singing it...

And we all will be singing it...

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

And then it goes

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

When I get older...

When I get older...

I will be stronger...

Just like a wavin' flag...
Just like a wavin' flag...
Just like a wavin' flag...

Flag...
Flag...

Just like a wavin' flag...

Lets rejoice to the beautiful game

Changing Partners - Patti Page



We were waltzing together,
To a dreamy melody
When they called out, "change partners"
And you waltzed away from me
Now my arms feel so empty,
As I gaze around the floor
And I'll keep on changing partners
Till I hold you once more

Though we danced for one moment
And too soon, we had to part
In that wonderful moment,
Something happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners
Till your in my arms, and then
Oh my darling, I will never
Change partners again

Though we danced for one moment,
And too soon, we had to part
In that wonderful moment,
Something happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners
Till your in my arms, and then
Oh my darling, I will never
Change partners again

Elton John - Candle in the Wind 1997



Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned our long before
Your legend ever will

Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England's rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And you footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Jennifer Lopez - Aint It Funny

This is a latin-pop song by Jennifer Lopez from her second studio album, J. Lo (2001). It was very popular at that time.



It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me
It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be
But there are facts in our lives
We can never change
Just tell me that you understand and feel the same
This perfect romance that I've created in my mind
I'd live a thousand lives
Each one with you right by my side
But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
And so it seems like we'll never have the chance
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Oh, I wish this could be real
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life
And you don't wanna face what's wrong or right
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart

Sometimes I think that a true love can never be
I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant for me
Life can be cruel in a way that I can't explain
And I don't think that I could face it all again
I barely know you but somehow I know what you're about
A deeper love I've found in you
And I no longer doubt
You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made
And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Oh, I wish this could be real
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life
And you don't wanna face what's wrong or right
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart

I locked away my heart
But you just set it free
Emotions I felt
Held me back from what my life should be
I pushed you far away
And yet you stayed with me
I guess this means
That you and me were meant to be

Celine Dion's - I'm Alive

Celine Dion's very popular hit song -I'm Alive- is the second hit single from the album "A New Day Has Come". It was released on August 12, 2002. The song was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Andreas Carlsson. 





Mmmmm, Mmmmmmmmmmmm
I get wings to fly
Oh, oh, I'm alive... 
Yeah

When you call on me 
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I’m alive

When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I’m alive
Mmmmm Ohhhhh 

When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I’m glad that I’m alive

You’ve set my heart on fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman
On clouds above

I couldn’t get much higher
My spirit takes flight
Cause I am alive
OHHHHH

(When you call on me)
When you call on me
(When I hear you breathe)
When I hear you breathe
(I get wings to fly)
Fly
I feel that I’m alive
I am alive

(When you reach for me)
When you reach for me
(Raising spirits high)
God knows that

That I’ll be the one
Standing by

Through good and 
Through trying times

And it’s only begun
I can’t wait for the
Rest of my life

(When you call on me)
When you call on me
(When you reach for me)
When you reach for me
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive

(When you bless the day)
When you bless, you bless the day
(I just drift away)
I just drift away
(All my worries die)
I know that I’m alive

I get wings to fly
God knows that I’m alive

This song is from the album You're only lonly (1979) by J.D. Souther




YOU'RE ONLY LONELY
J. D. Souther

WHEN THE WORLD IS READY TO FALL ON YOUR LITTLE SHOULDERS,
AND WHEN YOU'RE FEELING LONELY AND SMALL,
YOU NEED SOMEBODY THERE TO HOLD YOU.
YOU CAN CALL OUT MY NAME...WHEN YOU'RE ONLY LONELY,
NOW, DON'T YOU EVER BE ASHAMED, YOU'RE ONLY LONELY,

WHEN YOU NEED SOMEBODY AROUND ON THE NIGHTS THAT TRY YOU,
(REMEMBER) I WAS THERE WHEN YOU WERE A QUEEN,
AND I'LL BE THE LAST ONE THERE BESIDE YOU.
SO YOU CAN CALL OUT MY NAME...WHEN YOU'RE ONLY LONELY.
NOW, DON'T YOU EVER BE ASHAMED, YOU'RE ONLY LONELY,

WHEN THE WORLD IS READY TO FALL ON YOUR LITTLE SHOULDERS,
AND WHEN YOU'RE FEELING LONELY AND SMALL,
YOU NEED SOMEBODY THERE TO HOLD YOU.
SO DON'T YOU EVER BE ASHAMED, YOU'RE ONLY LONELY.
AH, YOU CAN CALL OUT MY NAME...WHEN YOU'RE ONLY LONELY,

WHEN YOU'RE ONLY LONELY...
AH, IT'S NO CRIME...DARLING, WE'VE GOT LOTS OF TIME.

AH, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU...
DARLING, I GET LONELY, TOO.

SO IF YOU NEED ME, ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS CALL ME.
YOU'RE ONLY LONELY

어머나 어머나 이러지 마세요... (Omona...)

A very popular Trot, pronounced as "teuroteu" in Korean (트로트 or 트롯), song by a South Korean singers 장윤정. The first and second lines say “OMG, don't do that, please.” “Women are like reeds”.



어머나 어머나 이러지 마세요.
여자의 마음은 갈대 랍니다.
안돼요 왜이래요 묻지 말아요.
더이상 내게 원하시면 안돼요.
오늘 처음 만난 당신이지만 내 사랑 인걸요.
헤어지면 남이 되어 모른척 하겠지만~
좋아해요 사랑해요 거짓말처럼 당신을 사랑해요~
소설소게 영화소게 멋진 주인공은 아니지만.
괜찮아요 말해봐요 당신 위해서라면 다줄께요~

One of my favourite

Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers from album Just As I Am (1971).




Lyrics: Ain't No Sunshine

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know - 26

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes a~way.
