Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over (HQ)

Many artists try to make their own versions and use a good song as a stepping stone for fame… but no one really beats the original. This is a superb classic.

(I do not own the music)

DON’T DREAM IT’S OVER by Crowded House

There is freedom within, there is freedom without

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road

While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

In the paper today tales of war and of waste

But you turn right over to the TV page

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof

Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

You know they won't win

Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now)

(Hey now, hey now)

Hey now, hey now

Don't let them win (They come, they come)

Don't let them win, yeah (Hey now, hey now)

(Hey now, hey now)

Hey now...

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING (2017) Review

WARNING: “SEMI-SPOILER”

Very simple story with great visual effects. As I expected, definitely the Spider-Man movie I’ve waited for and really enjoyed watching, not the stupid almost-comedic shit trilogy starring Tobey Maguire. Sorry, Tobey. I slightly liked the Andrew-Garfield-starred Spidey films, but Tom Holland fits “your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man” perfectly. Good work, Sony/Columbia! You finally nailed it.

I like the idea of Spider-Man having a Filipino “off-site/off-action sidekick” and the love interest being a non-white chick (Liz, and even MJ) because sadly, western media has downplayed its portrayal of Black people, Asians, etc. too much in the past. But fortunately, we are now making progress on tearing down stereotypes even more.

Call me shallow, but I think it’s one of mainstream media’s feel-good movies for the young and young-at-heart; that’s not perfect or directly relevant to any crucial issue, but very well made and truly entertaining.

I like Ned, he reminds me a lot about me (pun intended). HAHAHAHA!!!! I love Marisa Tomei, she’s still so pretty! She’s the “hottest” Aunt May so far! HAHAHA!!! And Jennifer Connelly’s voice is still sexy as ever. I am seriously getting attracted to middle-aged (but gorgeous) ladies. I AM FREAKING OLD! HAHAHA!!!

Overall, I give the motion picture an 8 out of 10. I wanted to see more “mecha” stuff, though. I’m predominantly an Iron Man fan, after all.

The Corrs featuring Alejandro Sanz - THE HARDEST DAY

I didn’t know that this now-decade-old song had an official music video. The combination of The Corrs’ music, Alejandro Sanz’s accent and the story concept itself… it’s all so exotic! So beautiful!! I would not want to face such a dilemma in my own life, though. It’s very sad.

We all grow old; but Andrea, Caroline and Sharon are still lovely in their own right…

“THE HARDEST DAY” by The Corrs featuring Alejandro Sanz

One more day
One last drink, before I leave it all behind
And play the role that's meant for us

That said, we say goodbye

One more night (one more night)
By your side (by your side)
Where our dreams collide and all we have is everything
(Ooohhh…)
And there's no pain, no hurt
There's no wrong, it's all right

If I promise to believe, will you believe?
That there's nowhere that we'd rather be
“Nowhere” describes where we are

I've no choice
I love you

Leave
Love you
Wave goodbye
(Bye)
(Yeah…)

And all I ever wanted was to stay
(All I ever wanted was to stay)

Nothing in this world's gonna change
Change

Never wanna wake up from this night
I never (never)
Wanna leave this moment
Waiting for you only
Only you

Never gonna forget every single thing you do
Loving you is my finest hour
Leaving you
The hardest day of my life
The hardest day of my life…

I still breathe (I still breathe)

I still eat (I still eat)
And the sun, it shines the same as it did yesterday

But there's no warmth, no light
I feel empty inside

But I never will regret a single day
It isn't gonna go away
What I'm feeling
(I'm feeling)
For you

I will always love you
Leave
Love you
Wave goodbye
(Love you wave goodbye)

And all
And all I ever wanted was to stay
(All I ever wanted was to stay)
Nothing in this world's gonna change

Never wanna wake up from this night
Never (never)
Wanna leave this moment
Waiting for you only
Only you
Never gonna forget every single thing you do
When loving you is my finest hour
Never knew I'd ever feel this way
I feel for you

Never wanna wake up
(I feel for you, I feel for you)
From this night
Never
(I never)
Wanna leave this moment
Waiting for you only
Only you
Never gonna forget
(Never gonna forget)
Every single thing you do
When loving you is my finest hour
And Leaving you
The hardest day of my life

Never wanna wake up
From this night
Never (I never)
Wanna leave this moment
Waiting for you only
Only you

Never gonna forget…
