Josh Groban - You Raise Me Up (Musical Monday)

Hello everyone. It's Musical Monday!!! My pick for the week is 'You Raise Me Up' by Josh Groban. I always feel like I've been given a beautiful gift any time I hear this song, and that gift is what I want to share with my readers:

YOU RAISE ME UP

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit a while with me.


You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

Marlon Roudette - New Age (Musical Monday)

If love was a word

I don't understand

The simplest sound

With four letters

Whatever it was

I'm over it now

With every day

It gets better, it gets better

Are you loving the pain, loving the pain

And with every day, every day

I try to move on

Whatever it was, whatever it was

There's nothing now

You changed

New Age

I'm walking away

From everything I had

I need a room

With new colours

Michael Bolton - When a Man Loves a Woman

 When a Man Loves a Woman   (Musical Monday)
 
Song Text:

When a man loves a woman can't keep his mind on nothing else
he'd trade the world for the good thing he's found
if she is bad he can't see it she can do no wrong
turn his back on his best friend he puts her down

When a man loves a woman spend his very last dime
trying to hold on to what he needs
he'd give her all his comforts sleep out in the rain
if she said that's the way it oughta be

When a man loves a woman yea
I give you everything I've got oh oh
trying to hold on to your precious love
baby baby please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman deep down in his soul
she can bring him such a misery
if she is playing him for a fool he's the last one to know
loving eyes can never see

James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover (Musical Monday)

Hello everyone, it's Musical Monday. This week, I'm sharing the love from James Blunt - "Goodbye my Lover". 

This song gets to me irrespective of how many times I've heard it. I love it, I love the lyrics, it's a music to my soul.

"Goodbye My Lover"

Did I disappoint you or let you down?

Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?

'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,

Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.

So I took what's mine by eternal right.

Took your soul out into the night.

It may be over but it won't stop there,

I am here for you if you'd only care.

You touched my heart you touched my soul.

You changed my life and all my goals.

And love is blind and that I knew when,

My heart was blinded by you.

I've kissed your lips and held your hand.

Shared your dreams and shared your bed.

I know you well, I know your smell.

I've been addicted to you.

Twinkle Twinkle Indian Desi Styles

It's Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (Indian Version).

Adele - Someone Like You Live at the Brit Awards 2011 (Musical Monday)

She is such a beautiful lady with beautiful voice. I love the emotions in her voice when she sings. Adele is so talented and I can't hear enough of her.

'Someone like you' is a hit and you need to see her live performance at the Brit Awards 2011.

I've also included the song text. Enjoy:

I heard that you're settled down,

That you found a girl and you're married now.

I heard that your dreams came true,

Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Thriller - Michael Jackson

It's Musical Monday and today is Halloween. The best music I can connect to Halloween is Michael Jackson's Thriller. The video used to scare me to death when I was young but I couldn't stop watching it. It's a real thriller and I like the creativity in it.

Here is the song, sit back and enjoy it:

Hallelujah - Alexandra Burke (Musical Monday)

It's Musical Monday and I'm starting my week with a song I love so much - Hallelujah!!

I've  seen many artists perform this song and it's always beautiful but I just saw the performance of Alexandra Burke (an X-Factor finalist and winner, 2008) and it was breathtaking. I didn't know about her before and I'd like to buy her music if she has any.

Does anybody know about her? Watch this video and let me know what you think.

Sade - Cherish The Day (Musical Monday)

I love Sade and I love her Music. I cannot stop listening to them. One of my friends just attended her live shows and she shared with me how she (Sade) left the stage with "Cherish the Day". I love it and want to share one of her performances with you.

Sade (1/17) - The Sweetest Taboo (MUSICAL MONDAY)

I love SADE, I love her music. She is a woman of class and so is her music.
The Sweetest Taboo is a song you will gently swing your body to, the rhythm is killing. When I heard the song for the very first time (as a teenager), I wondered why somebody would find sweetness in a taboo (but now, I know better).

Music to my Soul

Celine Dion - A New Day Has Come live with Lyrics! (Musical Monday)

A NEW DAY HAS COME

I loved this song right from the first day a heard it. Though I was still single, I could relate with the lyrics.

When I had my first child, a friend of mine forwarded it to my cell phone and it melted my heart. It made a whole lot of new meaning to me. I love this song.

A New Day Has Come - Music To My Soul.

One Moment In Time (Whitney Houston - Grammy Awards Live)

Musical Monday:

One Moment in Time by Whitney, this is music to my soul. I'm always touched by this music. I'm singing my heart out with this song. I cannot say enough about it, I just want to share the lyrics and the video with you all.

The Lyrics:
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown


I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains


I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

What A Woderful World (Musical Monday)

It was a long weekend and my daughter couldn't wait to go to Kindergarten this morning. The weather forecast didn't promise a sunny day but it was  friendly when we were outside and I hope it remains like that. As we  were approaching the Kindergarten, we saw other kids and it struck me how they were running to their friends and saying how are you and the parents saying Good morning to each other with little chats here and there. It was a lovely scene and I thought to myself,  isn't this how our world should be? On my way back to the house, I was humming the song of Louis Armstrong. Since today is my Musical Monday, I want to share the song with you. Happy viewing:
Louis Armstrong sings: “I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do – They’re really saying I love you”.

"I Like to Move It" Madagascar 2 (Musical Monday)

It's Musical Monday morning and I didn't feel like getting up. But I didn't have any choice because I needed to get up and get going. Schools kids are on holidays but some Kindergartens are still open. I had to do school runs and get some errands done. To get my self in the right spirit today, I needed a music that would do the magic for me. So this is the music that I started my day with. It really worked some wonders. I as started dancing to the tune and singing along (Physically Fit), I felt like an "under 16".

I Like To Move It - Move It.

English Version:



I like to move it (Deutsch)

When you don't feel like doing anything, what music puts you back on your feet? Share with us.

"The Lion King" musical - TV performance

I sent a post this morning about the Lion King Musicals and I said I'm dreaming of attending the life performance. Here is a clips of the Performance on a German TV. The people were so crazy. I can't wait for them to perform in Stuttgart.
NB: You can also check my earlier post on the song "HE LIVES IN YOU"- German Version.
Enjoy.

The Lion King 2 - He lives in You (German Musical Version)

I just met one German that told me he wants to start touring Africa after attending a Lion King Concert in Berlin. What I cannot forget is the passion with which he said it and he meant it. There is another "Lion King" performance coming soon in Hamburg, I can only dream to be there. I can listen to the Musicals the whole day and they always up-lift my spirit. The Lion King Musicals - Music To My Soul.

For the song (He lives in Me), I love the German Version. Even if you don't understand the language, you still feel it. It sends goosebumps all over me.
Enjoy.

Gänsehaut Pur.
