Long live the king!

Si discursul Madonnei

"Michael Jackson. [Cheers] I have a little bit more to say than that. OK, here we go again. Michael Jackson was born in August 1958. So was I. Michael Jackson grew up in the suburbs of the midwest. So did I. When Michael Jackson was six, he became a superstar, and was perhaps the world’s most beloved child. When I was six, my mother died. I think he got the shorter end of the stick. I never had a mother, but he never had a childhood. And when you never get to have something, you become obsessed by it.

I spent my childhood searching for my mother figures. Sometimes I was successful, but how do you recreate your childhood when you are under the magnifying glass of the world.

There is no question that Michael Jackson is one of the greatest talents the world has ever known. That when he sang a song at the ripe old age of 8 he could make you feel like an experienced adult was squeezing your heart with his word. That when he moved he had the elegance of Fred Astaire and packed the punch of Muhammed Ali. That his music had an extra layer of inexplicable magic that didn’t just make you want to dance but actually made you believe you could fly, dare to dream, be anything that you wanted to be. Because that is what heroes do and Michael Jackson was a hero.

He performed in soccer stadiums around the world, and sold hundreds of millions of records and dined with prime ministers and presidents. Girls fell in love with him, boys fell in love with him, everyone wanted to dance like him. He seemed otherworldly – but he was a human being.

Like most performers he was shy and plagued with insecurities. I can’t say we were great friends, but in 1991 I decided I wanted to try to get to know him better. I asked him out to dinner, I said “My treat, I’ll drive – just you and me.”

He agreed and showed up to my house without any bodyguards. We drove to the restaurant in my car. It was dark out, but he was still wearing sunglasses.

I said, “Michael, I feel like I’m talking to a limosine. Do you think you can take off your glasses so I can see your eyes?”

Then he tossed the glasses out the window, looked at me with a wink and a smile and said, “Can you see me now? Is that better?”

in that moment, I could see both his vulnerability and his charm. The rest of the dinner, I was hellbent on getting him to eat French Fries, drink wine, have dessert and say bad words. Things he never seemed to allow himself to do. Later we went back to my house to watch a movie and sat on the couch like two kids, and somewhere in the middle of the movie, his hand snuck over and held mine.

It felt like he was looking for more of a friend than a romance, and I was happy to oblige. In that moment, he didn’t feel like a superstar. He felt like a human being.

We went out a few more times together, and then for one reason or another we fell out of touch. Then the witchhunt began, and it seemed like one negative story after another was coming out about Michael. I felt his pain, I know what it’s like to walk down the street and feel like the whole world is turned against you. I know what it’s like to feel helpless and unable to defend yourself because the roar of the lynchmob is so loud you feel like your voice can never be heard.

But I had a childhood, and I was allowed to make mistakes and find my own way in the world without the glare of the spotlight.

When I first heard that Michael had died, I was in London, days away from the start of my tour. Michael was going to perform in the same venue as me a week later. All I could think about in this moment was, “I had abandoned him.” That we had abandoned him. That we had allowed this magnificent creature who had once set the world on fire to somehow slip through the cracks. While he was trying to build a family and rebuild his career, we were all passing judgement. Most of us had turned our backs on him. In a desperate attempt to hold onto his memory, I went on the internet to watch old clips of him dancing and singing on TV and on stage and I thought, “my god, he was so unique, so original, so rare, and there will never be anyone like him again. He was a king.”

But he was also a human being, and alas we are all human beings and sometimes we have to lose things before we can appreciate them. I want to end this on a positive note and say that my sons, age 9 and 4, are obsessed with Michael Jackson. There’s a whole lot of crotch grabbing and moonwalking going on in my house. And, it seems like a whole new generation of kids have discovered his genius and are bringing him to life again. I hope that wherever Michael is right now he is smiling about this.

Yes, Michael Jackson was a human being but he was a king. Long live the king."

you bring me so much joy

uite mai, de cand o caut, melodia copilariei mele:">

I know what you're searching for, I pray you find it on your instinct, I don't need you hurting boy ....ANIMALISTIC

If you call out tonight
And hear the call of the wild reply
You are animal, animal not so deep inside

am gasit-o!

Dupa ce m-am intors de la Festivalul de Film Cine Cinema, in masina prietenei mele, la radio, se difuza o melodie foarte catchy:X :X...mi-am notat ca o scolarita avida dupa informatie, versurile pe telefon si am pornit in cautarea ei....dupa doua saptamani am gasit-o! Tina Turner-in your wildest dreams:)

Tricky feat Liz Densmore-Breakaway

:)

Guano apes-living in a lie

imi placeee:X

O ascultam de dragul renumelui, însă niciodată pentru semnificaţia versurilor

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain


Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one


şi varianta live

Ce-as pleca la mare pe melodia asta...deja visez, geam deschis, ora 5 dimi, suvite blonde-n vant si beautiful things pe repeat:)

Ce facem? Ascultam Kings Of Leon?

Dupa ce "sex on fire" mi-a atras atentia intr-un mod dubios, desi nu aveam habar cine canta aceasta melodie, afland ulterior cine ce cum si unde?, (kings of leon) am decis sa ascult tot albumul baietilor. Mare mi-a fost mirarea sa aflu ca trupa este din USA, sound-ul lor suna atat de "british" incat te duce cu gandul imediat ca s-au nascut pe taramul celor de la coldplay...Asadar, "Only by the night" se numeste cel de-al patrulea album al lor (ei activeaza de ceva timp pe piata muzicala) unde prea cunoscuta piesa "sex on fire" (si mai nou "cover-uita de majoritatea cantaretilor) se afla...

Am ascultat albumul, am cautat si variante live pe youtube sa incerc sa-mi fac o parere. Si conchid aceasta investigatie cu faptul ca baietii de la Kings of Leon m-au cucerit si sunt dornica sa cumpar un bilet de-al lor la un viitor concert in Romania!!! Pe langa fuziunea de rock and roll, country music si blues bazate in general pe chiatar electrica si vocal si influentele de garage rock intalniti dorinta/placerea/usurinta lor cu care isi astern/transmit notele muzicale, reusind sa va deseneze traiectoria/drumul fericirii catre primul sediu autorizat unde le veti cumpara albumul!

Melodii preferate? In afara de "sex on fire" care te instiga la orice ora din zi, ador"closer" (versuri, linie melodica, stare=10), "reverly" (baietii sunt cam horn7")
"17" (sigur ati traiti si voi!) "be someone" "use somebody"...sunt mai! cam tot albumul!

las pe blog :-? "closer"! cu melodia asta a fost dragoste la prima auditie! plus lyrics!



and lyrics:)
Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
This floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I runFar from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangled vein
Showing no mercy I do it again
Open up your eye
You keep on crying, baby
I’ll bleed you dry
The skies are blinking at meI see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
You, shimmy shook my bone
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
What do you think of me
Where am I now? Baby where do I sleep
Feel so good but I'm old,2000 years of chasing taking its toll
And it’s coming closer


Strumf recomanda Kings Of Leon! Romantici, plini de sexualitate si de senzualitate, trei americani cu influente europene care va fac vara/primavara/toamna/iarna/momentele de singuratate/dragostea...etc mai dulce:)

Who's gonna save my soul?

He's been there since the very start

My angel Gabriel
