Since I Don't Have You vs. Since I Feel For You

mbm — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:24:00 +0100

Hello, deAR Friends!

Here are three versions of the song mentioned in the title of this blog.

Jose Feliciano: Since I Feel For You

Don McLean: Since I Don't Have You

Guns N Roses: Since I Don't Have You

Each of them have a particular charm.

You have the lyrics below!

Enjoy!

Since I fell for you - lyrics

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

It's so bad, It's so sad
I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm still in love with you

I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you

SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU

I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you....

I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you....

I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will again,
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then...

I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares..
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you...
you..you...you.. you...

The Wall in Galway - Three Nights Only!

mbm — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 08:47:00 +0000

Hello my deAR friends!

I already posted this on the news, but I wanted to be sure that all Pink Floyd fans will read it, so I post it again here.

Pre-empting plans to stage The Wall on Broadway, Roger Waters has approved a theatrical charity performance of the piece for three days this week in Galway, Republic of Ireland.

From Roger_Waters

The above pictures were taken at Roger Waters' DSOTM concert in Budapest, April 2007, which included some bonus from The Wall. More of them you can find at:

And remember: THREE NIGHTS ONLY!

Paper work

mbm — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 22:02:00 +0000

Hello, my DeAR friends!

My paper work is done, so I have a break, and I just wanted to say Hi! to all of you!

I hope that my paper work will be accepted, because I am two days late, but it doesn't matter too much, because I completed a good work, and I am very pleased with it! And Nothing Else Matters!

Now I feel like I'm flying, so Learning to Fly is quite an option to post here!

Enjoy the songs!

I wish you all a very pleasant and lovely week!

Take care!

Pink Floyd - the colours

mbm — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:45:00 +0000

A while ago I posted a "theory" about PINK colour. It was about a pink lizard (I am apologizing to the AR VIP author of that post for not remembering its name).

So in Pink Floyd's name we find the colour PINK. Pink is a combination of red and white. The main colours are red, yellow and blue. By the combination of the other two colours, yellow and blue, we obtain green, so "Green Is The Colour" (one of their great songs). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5oRNYJa4k0

Pink is the only colour that we will not find in the rainbow. The rainbow reminds us about their album: Dark Side Of The Moon. See you on the dark side of the moon! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg71NkIRc1w

Any Colour You Like has this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y-VQsXUumo

So PINK is quite a colour, and PINK FLOYD quite a band!

London Destruction

mbm — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:05:00 +0000

Hello, deAR VIPs!

I read an interesting post on Derek's blog:

http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/vip/profile/nufc1892/blog/103574/Bobbies_on_beat_what_Brits_most_want_to_return.html

I was curious about "A British bobby" and I found an interesting page with this title: "Status: Bring back the constables of the constabulary".

I also found different interesting topics on the main page of that article, page called "London Destruction".

For those of you proud of your City or of your Main City, London, it might be an interesting reading.

For me, as a visitor and as a traveler, I read about some places I visited last spring: Bank Station, Russel Square, Battersea Power Station (related to Pink Floyd), Elephant & Castle, City Hall, O2 Arena...

Enjoy the reading, and the pictures!

The Great Debate by Dream Theater

mbm — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 15:57:00 +0000

The Great Debate by Dream Theater

Steve The One's blog reminded me about Dream Theater's song called "The Great Debate".

Because there are certain changes and events currently happening in the States, I thought that this might be a good moment to post this song along with the lyrics of the song. The video is the only one with the full version of the song on youtube.

Considering the length of the song (almost 14 minutes), you don't have to listen to it right now, but when you are in the mood to meditate about some political, or social issues, you might come back and click on the following link:

Dream Theater - The Great Debate

Wikipedia: Dream Theater

The Official site: Dream Theater

For your convenience, here are the lyrics:

What if someone said
Promise lies ahead
Hopes are high in certain scientific circles
Life won't have to end
You could walk again

What if someone said
Problems lie ahead
They've uncovered something highly controversial
The right to life is strong
Can't you see it's wrong

Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or the white coat heroes
Searching for a cure

Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake

Anarchistic moral vision
Industries of death
Facing violent opposition
Unmolested breath

Ethic inquisitions breed
Antagonistic views
Right wing soundbyte premonitions
In a labyrinth of rules

Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Life to save life

This embryonic clay
Wrapped in fierce debate
Would be thrown away
Or otherwise discarded

Some of us believe
It may hold the key
To treatment of disease
And secrets highly guarded

Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Life to save life

Humankind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or to white coat heroes
Searching for a cure

Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake

We're reaching
But have we gone too far

Harvesting existence
Only to destroy
Carelessly together
We are sliding

Someone else's future
Four days frozen still
Someone else's fate
We are deciding

Miracle potential
Sanctity of life
Faced against each other
We're divided

Should we push the boundaries
Or should we condemn
Moral guilt and science
Have collided

Turn to the light
We defy our own mortality these days
Turn to the light
Pay attention to the questions we have raised

LISTEN TO THE FALLING RAIN - JOSE FELICIANO

mbm — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:08:00 +0000

Hello, my Dear Friends!

I was looking for a certain song of Jose Feliciano, and I've found this great one:

LISTEN TO THE FALLING RAIN - JOSE FELICIANO

Listen to the pouring rain
Listen to it pour,
And with every drop of rain
You know I love you more

Let it rain all night long,
Let my love for you go strong,
As long as we're together
Who cares about the weather?

Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it fall,
And with every drop of rain,
I can hear you call,
Call my name right out loud,
I can here above the clouds
And I'm here among the puddles,
You and I together huddle.

Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it fall.

It's raining,
It's pouring,
The old man is snoring,
Went to bad
And bumped his head,
He couldn't get up in the morning,

Listen to the falling rain,
listen to the rain

Helloween

mbm — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 13:30:00 +0000

No, it is not a mistake! It is Helloween, the rock band, not Halloween, the holiday!

Helloween - the power metal band on Wiki

Helloween - the official website

Halloween on Wiki

This is one of my fav Helloween songs:

Forever And One

What can I do?
Will I be getting through?
Now that I must try to leave it all behind
Did you see what you have done to me?
So hard to justify
Slowly it's passing by

Forever and one I will miss you
However, I kiss you yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide your lies
Your lies

Here I am
Seeing you once again
My mind's so far away
My heart's so close to stay
Too proud to fight
I'm walking back into night
Will I ever find someone to believe?

Forever and one I will miss you
However, I kiss you yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide your lies
Your lies

Halloween

Absolute Classic Rock

mbm — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:21:00 +0100

Where is it?

Since Virgin became Absolute, I experienced a few days with the lack of Classic Rock station. I tune in for it, and all I hear is Absolute Radio, which broadcast music which doesn't fits my taste...

I want good old Classic Rock back on Absolute! Don't you?
