And here are the lyrics:

 

"Highway 20 Ride"

I ride east every other Friday but if I had it my way
Days would not be wasted on this drive
And I want so bad to hold you
Son, there's things I haven't told you
Your mom and me just couldn't get along

So I'll drive
And I think about my life
And wonder why I'll slowly die inside
Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line
and I count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride

A day might come and you'll realize that if you could see through my eyes
There was no other way to work it out
And a part of you might hate me
But son please don't mistake me
For a man that didn't care at all

So I drive
And I think about my life
And wonder why I'll slowly die inside
Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line
and I count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride

So when you drive
And the years go flying by
I hope you smile
If I ever cross your mind
It was a pleasure of my life
And I cherished every time
And my whole world
It begins and ends with you
On that Highway 20 ride....

 

 

Cheers :)

And here are the lyrics:

"Blue Eyes Blue"

I thought that you'd be loving me
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever
But now forever's come and gone
And I'm still here alone

'Cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting, I was never waiting for the tears to start

It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you
Who made the tears fall down
It was you
Who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you
Who made my blue eyes blue

Oh, Never should have trusted you

I thought that I'd be all you need
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven
And now my heavens gone away
And I'm out in the cold

'Cause you had me believing
You had me believing in a lie
Guess I couldn't see it
Guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye

It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you
Who made the tears fall down
It was you
Who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you
Who made my blue eyes blue

Oh, Never should have trusted you

' Cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting
I was never waiting for the tears to start

It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you
It was you
Who put those clouds around me
It was you
Who made the tears fall down
Only you
Who broke my heart in pieces
It was you
It was you
Who made my blue eyes blue

oh, never should have trusted you
oh, never should have trusted you
oh, never should have trusted you
oh, never should have trusted you


Cheers :)

And here are the lyrics:

 

"A Victory of Love"

 

Waiting
For a change in the weather
I'm waiting for a shift in the air
Could we get it together, ever
Hoping for your return, hoping for your sweet, sweet
Return

Hello
Is this heaven calling
Hello, hello, is somebody there, she must be somewhere
And then she says hello, hello, hello
She's really an angel
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes, she starting to dream,
She's pulling the strings
She's dreaming a strange dream
Where nothing is grey
Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
She's playing with love...

Counting
I count every second
And I'm standing
I stand in the rain, I walk up that lane
Which leads to the sunshine
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes
Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
She's playing with love...

Pida Me La

For all Spanish music lovers, here's a great group and a great song for you. These musicians were born in France but come from gitanos parents from Catalonia, Spain. As their name tells us, the great "Gipsy Kings" are the kings of rumba catalana and flamenco music styles which they introduced to a world-wide audience. This next song is one of my favourites; and whether you're into this type of music or not, you will be captivated by the music, the emotions and that strong tender voice.

 

"Pida Me La" is a Latin/Flamenco song by "Gipsy Kings", first released as a single in 1992 and later appeared on their album "Gipsy Kings (Greatest Hits)" released in 1999. This song was written and composed by the group itself.

And here are the lyrics:

"Pida Me La"

Cada vez, que siempre la recuerdo
Cada vez, se que vuelve a dejarme
Quisera, nunca va a haber
Tristeza en corazon
Volver, nunca vuelve a dejarme

Pida me la,
Esta nina que yo quiero
Pida me la
Esta nina que me muero
Pida me la, Pida me la....

Pida me la,
Esta nina que yo quiero
Pida me la
Esta nina que me muero
Pida me la, Pida me la....

Cada vez, que siempre la recuerdo
Cada vez, se que vuelve a dejarme
Quisera, nunca va a haber
Tristeza en corazon
Volver, nunca vuelve a dejarme

didi didi didi...........etc.

Pida me la,
Esta nina que yo quiero
Pida me la
Esta nina que me muero
Pida me la, Pida me la....

Here's a link to the official music video:

And here are the lyrics:

"Ma Direction"

[Intro: Maitre Gims]
On prétend pas être des modèles pour les gosses
Ni pour personne d'autre !
On tient juste à dire que... le pont qui mène au succès
Est un pont fragile

[Couplet 1: Maître Gims]
J'ai demandé pardon sans qu'on puisse me l'accorder
J'ai demandé ma route sans qu'on puisse me l'indiquer
J'ai troqué mes études contre un disque de platine
Tout en sachant qu'tôt ou tard ton public te piétines
J'ai vu les choses en grand, j'ai du temps, j'ai du talent
Je reste sur mes gardes, je n'suis qu'un homme
Ça capture mon image dans des 7D Canon
Tout ça j'le fais pour moi, ceux qui doutent et la daronne
J'ai pété les plombs ! (J'ai pété les plombs)
J'ai quitté l'école ! (J'ai quitté l'école)
Si seulement tu savais (Si seulement tu savais)
Tout le mal que je garde (Tout le mal que je garde)

[Refrain: Maître Gims]
C'est ma direction !
J'ai pété les plombs, sans abandonner ni baisser les bras
Plus d'nouvelles, batterie faible, malédiction
Dorénavant, je vais de l'avant, c'est ma direction
Ma direction

[Couplet 2: Lefa]
J'ai fuis les sonneries, les bruits d'chaises
Moi j'cherchais d'autre style de richesses
Du journal d'Anne Frank à c'lui d'Bridget
J'ai jamais kiffé lire depuis qu'jai
12 piges, malgré les ratures j'gratte le papier
C'est ma direction, j'me suis pas éparpillé
Plaqué plus d'une fois, dos au re-mu
Trop fier pour demander d'l'aide au RMI
Les srabs en guise de mif, l'estrade en guise de but
Freiné par les fils de chhhut...
J'me souviens qu'à la base on voulait même pas toucher d'blé
Ça rappait sale quand on s'entassait tous chez le Blanc
Tu connais BatiPro, Crit, Selpro
J’écrivais dans l'trom avant d'aller m'casser l'dos
Aujourd'hui tout ça n'aurais pas d'sens
Sans tout ce sacrifices, sans toute cette patience

[Refrain: Maître Gims]

[Couplet 3: Maska]
J'me remémore les clashs, les concours de rap, la hass
Dans la rue ça rappe en masse, sans zapper d'aller nahess
Pour un 16 mes gars t'agressent, seul le kickage nous apaise
Nos voix, nos mains s'élèvent quand les flics sales nous rabaissent
Le rêve est à nos pieds donc on dort tête bêche
On baigne dans les richesses mais nos lèvres restent sèches
J'veux vivre de ma passion car tous les taffs me déplaisent
On cherchait que la reconnaissance on voulait pas parler d'espèces
Maintenant on fout dehors la hass même si nos passés l'heberge
Ca veut acheter des caisses, attaquer l'marché des States
Si on a autant ramé, c'est pour être stock à l'arrivée
Pour bien steaker les stre-mon qui voulaient nous faire chavirer
Mais ça taf j'ai quitté pour mieux déplacer des montagnes
Résultat, ma foi baisse, mes fautes sont indénombrables
Cherche pas trop la lumière, le soleil brûle ta peau
Ouais le succès te fume, à peine tu l'crapotes

[Refrain: Maître Gims]

[Couplet 4: Barack Adama]
Fuck le taff... un bac pro ça paye pas
Avec les srabs, pour le rap bah on veille tard
Malgré les découverts, les sales patrons
J'ai tout plaqué à la conquêtes des salles, partons !
Un projet suicidaire, ça passe ou on se casse
Et tu nous suis si t'aimes akhi
Determinés, on part au front sans armure
Et les plus terre-à-terre disent qu'on foncent dans un mur (Aah!)
Les darons savent pas c'que j'fais, ils disent que j'dors
Ils pensent que leur fiston ne vit que dehors
Sans savoir qu'ce p'tit con prépare des disques d'or
Et tout ceux qui le négligent bah on plus que tort
J'sais où j'vais, sans savoir si j's'rais le bienvenu
J'suis pas invité et j'suis accompagné d'OVNIs
J'me dirige vers la gloire et les blèmes-pro
La musique est une femme à problèmes mais putain j'l'aime trop

[Refrain: Maître Gims]

[Outro: Maitre Gims]
T'es foutu si tu échoues, dans ta situation
Foutu si tu échoues, dans ta situation.

 

 

Cheers :)

Du Temps

One thing for sure is that you can't live your whole life not knowing the French singer and songwriter, the legend "Mylène Farmer" because in my opinion, you'll be missing out on a lot. A rich career of more than 30 years, she started back in the 80s' and managed to keep her millions of fans follow her and fall in love with her music more and more with every single or album she made and still making. I will present more of her music throughout my blog but for now let me start with this great hit.

 

"Du Temps" is a dance-pop single by "Mylène Farmer", first released digitally on November 7, 2011 and then featured on her 2nd greatest hits compilation album "2001.2011", released on December 5, 2011. This song, like most of her songs, is written by Mylène herself and composed by "Laurent Boutonnat".

And here are the lyrics:

 

"Du Temps"

Du temps, du temps, du temps
Il te faut du temps,
Du temps, du temps, non non non

Suppose que je te dise
L'amour en est la cause
Que nos chemins de vie
Parfois nous superposent

C'est le mien
J'm'en fous
Mon chagrin
C'est tout
L'antidote au pire
L'anti "pas mourir"

Moi je veux vivre, aller haut
Pouvoir me dire que c'est beau
Mais pas du temps, du temps, du temps
Il te faut du temps,
Du temps, du temps, non non non

Suppose que je te dise
Au fond de moi sommeille
Un continent de vie
De tes monts et merveilles

C'est le mien
Mais vous
Mon destin
S'enroule
Autour de tes reins
Amour je sens bien

Moi je veux vivre, aller haut
Pouvoir me dire que c'est beau
Mais pas du temps, du temps, du temps
il te faut du temps,
Du temps, du temps, non non non

Moi je veux vivre, aller haut
Pouvoir me dire que c'est beau
Mais pas du temps, du temps, du temps
Il te faut du temps,
Du temps, du temps, non non non.
