A ballad by George Michael with minimal music and his smooth melting voice…need I say more?
You Are Far When I could have been your star You listened to people Who scared you to death, and from my heart Strange that you were strong enough To even make a start But you’ll never find Peace of mind, Till you listen to your heart
People You can never change the way they feel Better let them do just what they will For they will If you let them Steal your heart from you People Will always make a lover feel a fool But you knew I loved you We could have shown them all We should have seen love through
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes Covered me with kisses and lies So bye-aye-aye But please don’t take my heart
You are far I’m never gonna be your star I’ll pick up the pieces And mend my heart Maybe I’ll be strong enough I don’t know where to start But I’ll never find Peace of mind While I listen to my heart
People You can never change the way they feel Better let them do just what they will, For they will If you let them Steal your heart
And people Will always make a lover feel a fool But you knew I loved you We could have shown them all
But remember this Every other kiss That you ever give Long as we both live When you need the hand of another man One you really can surrender with I will wait for you Like I always do There’s something there That can’t compare with any other
You are far When I could have been your star You listened to people Who scared you to death, and from my heart Strange that i was wrong enough To think you’d love me too I guess you were kissing a fool You must have been kissing a fool
I'm celebrating! Huge “thank you” to you all. Got my dancing shoes on and this song keeps playing Are you ready?

warm smell of *colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, 'this could be heaven or this could be hell' Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say…
Welcome to the hotel California Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the hotel California Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain, 'please bring me my wine' He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say…
Welcome to the hotel California Such a lovely place, such a lovely face They livin' it up at the hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice And she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door I had to find the passage back, to the place I was before 'relax,' said the night man, We are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like, But you can never leave!
The Eagles have described the Hotel California as a metaphor for the perceived decline of America into materialism and decadence. A lot of urban legends follow this song.
*Colitas - Cannabis that is grown in the mountains of Northern California that give out a warm smell of Christmas pines when smoked.
A love song with a lot of beauty in its simple lyrics and lilting melody
I’ve been alone with you inside my mind And in my dreams I’ve kissed your lips a thousand times I sometimes see you pass outside my door Hello, is it me you”re looking for?
I can see it in your eyes I can see it in your smile You’re all I’ve ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide ‘Cause you know just what to say And you know just what to do And I want to tell you so much, I love you …
I long to see the sunlight in your hair And tell you time and time again how much I care Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow Hello, I’ve just got to let you know
‘Cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you? Tell me how to win your heart For I haven’t got a clue But let me start by saying, I love you …
Hello, is it me you’re looking for? ‘Cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you? Tell me how to win your heart For I haven’t got a clue But let me start by saying … I love you
Young Lionel Richie used to watch beautiful women walk by but was too shy to talk to them. He thought to himself, “Hello, is it me you’re looking for.” Years later, he recorded the song, in 1984!
Black cats, crystal balls, evil and a mysterious woman - a heady mix - Cliff Richard’s Devil woman traps you forever!
I’ve had nothing but bad luck Since the day I saw the cat at my door So I came here to you, sweet lady Answering your mystical call Crystal ball on the table Showing the future, the past Same cat with them evil eyes And I knew it was a spell she’d cast.
*Chorus She’s just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She’s gonna get you She’s just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She’s gonna get you from behind.
Give me the ring on your finger Let me see the lines of your hand I can see me a tall dark stranger Giving you what you hadn’t planned I drank the potion she offered me I found myself on the floor Then I looked in those big green eyes And I wondered what I came there for.
(Repeat chorus)
Stay awake Look out If you’re out on a moonlit night Be careful of the neighbourhood strays Of a lady with long black hair Tryin’ to win you with her feminine ways Crystal ball on the table Showing the future, the past Same cat with them evil eyes You’d better get out of there fast She’s just a devil woman With evil on her mind Beware the devil woman She’s gonna get you.
Imagine there”s no Heaven It”s easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today
Imagine there”s no countries It isn”t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace
You may say that I”m a dreamer But I”m not the only one I hope someday you”ll join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world
You may say that I”m a dreamer But I”m not the only one I hope someday you”ll join us And the world will live as one
An anthem of peace by Lennon and Yoko, who believed in Nutopia. The song has been voted “the greatest song of all” in 2004 and with every passing year its meaning becomes more significant.
A song about wanting to be everything to your lover.
That’s all I wanted Something special, something sacred - In your eyes For just one moment To be bold and naked At your side
Sometimes I think that you’ll never Understand me Maybe this time is forever.. Say it can be
That’s all you wanted Something special, someone sacred - In your life Just for one moment To be warm and naked At my side
Sometimes I think that you’ll never Understand me But something tells me together We’d be happy
(Baby) I will be your father figure (Oh baby) Put your tiny hand in mine (I’d love to) I will be your preacher teacher (Be your daddy) Anything you have in mind (It would make me) I will be your father figure (Very happy) I have had enough of crime (Please let me) I will be the one who loves you - Until the end of time
That’s all I wanted But sometimes love can be mistaken For a crime That’s all I wanted Just to see my baby’s Blue eyes shine This time I think that my lover Understands me If we have faith in each other Then we can be Strong
I will be your father figure Put your tiny hand in mine I will be your preacher teacher Anything you have in mind I will be your father figure I have had enough of crime I will be the one who loves you Until the end of time
If you are the desert I’ll be the sea If you ever hunger - Hunger for me Whatever you ask for That’s what I’ll be. .
So when you remember the ones who have lied Who said that they cared But then laughed as you cried Beautiful darling Don’t think of me
Because all I ever wanted It’s in your eyes baby, baby And love can’t lie, no… (greet me with the eyes of a child) My love is always telling me… so (heaven is a kiss and a smile) Just hold on, hold on I won’t let you go, my baby
I will be your father figure Put your tiny hand in mine I will be your preacher teacher Anything you have in mind Will be your father figure I have had enough of crime So I am gonna love you Until the end of time I will be your father I will be your preacher I’ll be your daddy I will be the one who loves you Until the end of time
The sensual video which won a lot awards, still haunts like the song itself. George Michael’s ballad an all-time fav of mine.
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line Honey I'm still free Take a chance on me If you need me, let me know, gonna be around If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown Honey I'm still free Take a chance on me Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie If you put me to the test, if you let me try
Take a chance on me (that's all I ask of you honey) Take a chance on me
We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better 'cos you know I've got So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you It's magic You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair But I think you know That I can't let go
Take a chance on me (come on, give me a break will you? ) Take a chance on me
Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you Let me tell you now My love is strong enough to last when things are rough It's magic You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind No I can't let go 'cos I love you so
If you change your mind…..(repeat) Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa Honey I'm still free Take a chance on me Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me (take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)
Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba Honey I'm still free Take a chance on me
Why do birds suddenly appear Everytime you are near Just like me, they long to be Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky Everytime you walk by Just like me, they long to be Close to you
On the day that you were born, the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moondust in your hair And golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why, all the girls in town Follow you, all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you
On the day that you were born, the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moondust in you hair And golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why, all the girls in town Follow you, all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you Just like me, they long to be Close to you Wa-ah-ah-ah-ah Close to you Wa-ah-ah-ah-ah Close to you
Sung by Karen Carpenter, Close To You was No. 1 in the US and in two months it became the Carpenters’ first gold single.
