Kool and the Gang : Cherish, a nostalgic song

A Lot of western songs that sounds good. Some may have a profound impression for us. Even a lot of the old western songs could also be preferable to the present. For some people there who have their own memories. Too often we enjoy so profoundly as having a soul or the same story with the song.

Kool and the Gang is an American music group jazz, R & B, soul, funk, and disco. The group was formed in 1964 in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States. After its formation and a few years after that, this group of eight people consisting of Robert Bell, known as Kool (bass), Ronald Bell (tenor saxophone), James "JT" Taylor (vocals), George Brown (drums), Robert Mickens (trumpet), Dennis Thomas (alto saxophone), Claydes Charles Smith (guitar), Rick Westfield (keyboards). In 1964, Robert formed an instrumental band called Jazziacs with five school friends during high school. They changed the name of the band became Kool and the Gang and eventually recruited by Gene Redd to cooperate with the record company, De-Lite Records in 1969. They released their debut album later they were given the same name as their group, Kool and the Gang.

Stevie Wonder : I Just Called to Say I Love You, funny romantic

The song became romantic because it contains elements of surprise. Especially for couples who have been together a long time. Romance was not only chocolate, flowers, dolls and the like anyway. Quite simple things, like calling a lover when ordinary day just to say "I Love You", was the name of a romantic. In the female brain, this unusual occurrence is defined as "well, today he's thinking about me", although sometimes the reality of the man actually less work and just fun to say.

That's what will be said by stevie wonder in his song, i just called to say i love you

"I Just Called To Say I Love You"

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
baby of my heart

Louis Armstrong : What a wonderful world, a trumpeter reliable

In the world of jazz, Louis Armstrong's name are already familiar. Has a distinctive voice, Armstrong was also a trumpeter reliable. Armstrong is very popular with his legendary composition. Call it, What A Wonderfull World, Hello Dolly, On the Sunny Side of the Street, When You're Smiling, Jeepers Creepers, and Mack the Knife. The compositions of his song are still popular today. And, New Orleans indeed be proud of it. Louis Armstrong was born in New Orleans on August 4, 1901, and died in New York on 6 July 1971.


Louis Armstrong – What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed the day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
But they're really saying is I love you.

I hear baby's crying and I watched them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.

John Lennon - Imagine, third best song of all time. But,......

In this post I will discuss about the meaning  of John Lennon's song, Imagine. This song was chosen by the Roolingstone Magazine as the third best song of all time.

I am sure all of you are very familiar with this song. The song that was cool when listening to, and also one of the songs that make me shiver when heard.

But did you know the meaning contained in this song?. Many people interpret this song is a song that is atheist which looks at the lyrics "and no religion too". Although not expressly meaning. He wants us to be atheist and sustain our own lives among human beings so that we can love one another, but without the presence of God.

Another meaning he has seen that it is not a bad religion but religion has been used as a cover and shield to run the war. Maybe he was concerned even annoyed with conflicts in the name of religion.

This song could also mean pluralism was seen in the lyrics "Nothing to Kill or die for Living in peace". Has the spirit of universal humanism. Just like halnua with the spirit of "LC" and "RC", an organization formed by freemasonry, which is dedicated to the world of humanity, regardless of race, religion, and race.

The meaning of pluralism also found in the lyrics of "No need for greed or hunger". "A brotherhood of man". "Imagine all the people". "Sharing all the world". "And the world will be as one". Build a spirit of brotherhood to form a one world without any distinguishing.

But the point I interpret this song to create peace in the world. But it's just the philosophy of John Lennon wrote that too extreme. All that's up to you how you interpret the song belongs to john lennon imagine. But back to the general nature of a song called "ENTERTAINING".


"Imagine"

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 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 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

"Have I Told You Lately"

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness

For the morning sun in all it's glory

Brian McKnight : One Last Cry, Sad Ending

I'm like the Brian McKnight's song. I really like the song title '' One Last Cry '' and I think that the meaning of the song was very sad, story about someone who left her partner, her partner has been happy with another man, and she could only see from far away and cry. So tragic.

Brian McKnight is the platinum-selling eponymous debut album released in 1992 by Mercury Records. It features his debut single, "One Last Cry", which reached number thirteen on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was later certified gold by RIAA.


"One Last Cry"

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
I gave my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

[Chorus:]
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

Cry.....

I was here
You were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

[Chorus:]
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind
For the very last time
Stop living a lie

[Bridge:]
I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on
And on ....
And on ....

[Chorus:]
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind
For the very last time
Been living a lie

I guess I'm down,
I guess I'm down,
I guess I'm down...
I guess I'm down...
To my last cry...

Eric Clapton : tears in heaven, the story of Conor Clapton

The song "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings and sung by Eric Clapton makes us all who heard the song crying. the lyrics  "If I saw you in heaven" and "Here in heaven" very touching the heart. However, behind the song made by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings has a meaning / significance, that this song is dedicated to his children, Conor Clapton.

On March 20, 1991 at exactly 11 noon, boy 4 years old named Conor Clapton died because fall from a window 53 floors in New York City apartment.

Conor is being cared by her mother, Lori Del Santo, who is Italian actress. They live in an apartment while in New York. Eric Clapton, also located in New York (actually Eric's house is located in Surrey, UK) and stayed at a nearby hotel at the time of the accident. Clapton and Del Santo never married. Eric has been married to Pattie Boyd, the former wife of George Harrison at birth Conor, August 1986.

Conor's death make a deep sadness for Eric Clapton. During the 9 months of Eric shrouded deep sorrow and he does not wish to appear. When he returned to the stage, his music has been turned into a softer, more powerful, and more reflective.

Tears in Heaven (written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings) is a way of Clapton poured his grief and is a form of acceptance of Conor's death. The song was made for the film soundtrack Rush in 1991, but in fact it was made Clapton to reminisce about Cornor.

"Eric and I are involved in the making of the film Rush. We wrote a song called 'Help Me Up' to cover songs. Then Eric saw a scene in the film to be made a song and he said to me 'I want to write a song about my son.'. Eric has written the first verse of the song, which for me is a sense of all the songs, but he asked me to write the rest of the temple there ('time can bring you down, time can bend your knees ...') although I have to say that he had to write the song itself because it is very personal. this song is a sad song and very unique for my experience writing songs. "- Will Jennings

At the 1993 Grammy Awards, Tears in Heaven won three awards for best song, best recording and best male singer .. This song also helped boosted the sales of the album "Unplugged" that became the best-selling album in the history of musical Clapton.


Tears in Heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Hello

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

Air Supply : awesome

Love can't make each other happy but has turned into a prison in disguise that binds the soul and tortured heart, when someone wants to survive, and his/her mate want to go.

Air Supply is an Australian soft rock duo, consisting of British-born singer-songwriter and guitarist Graham Russell and lead vocalist Russell Hitchcock. They had a succession of hits worldwide, including eight Top Ten hits in the United States, in the early 1980s. They formed in Australia in 1975 and have included various accompanying musicians and singers. On 24 October 2013 the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) announced that Air Supply were to be inducted into their Hall of Fame on 1 December at the same ceremony as the annual ARIA Awards. (wikipedia)

There are some songs that begins with low tones and melow but when it comes to reffain suddenly rising coupled with the shrill sound that Russell could reach 3.5 octaves. that's so awesome. For example : goodbye.

Goodbye, is a very special song from Air Supply. We can learn from this song, just say goodbye with your good attitude if you do have to go. Let go ... you never know the next corner is  more beautiful while looking forward to you. Be strong and dignified person who understands that the love you deserve to have a beautiful place in someone's heart.



"Goodbye"

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say, but goodbye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna lead you on
I don't wanna hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say, but good-bye

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say goodbye

I was born in a different era with andy williams. but, I really admire his songs. there are many friend are protesting with my music taste, but I do not care. I really like the genre of music like this. Try to feel the message of the song "love story" and "speak lovely love"

Love Story
Where do I begin
To tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story
That is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave new meaning
To this empty world of mine
There'll never be
Another love, another time
She came into my life
And made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart
With very special things
With angel songs
With wild imaginings
She fills my soul
With so much love
That anywhere I go
I'm never lonely
With her along who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
It's always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

"Speak Softly Love"

Speak softly, love
And hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words
The tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love
So no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love
We make will live until we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love
So no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love

The Beatles : The King Of Music

Did you know the beatles?. In the music world, the Beatles had such the king of music. Many musicians are inspired by the beatles

The Beatles were an English rock band that formed in Liverpool, in 1960. With John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the greatest and most influential act of the rock era. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several genres, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelic and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as their songwriting grew in sophistication they came to be perceived as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions.

The Beatles built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over a three-year period from 1960. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act and producer George Martin enhanced their musical potential. They gained popularity in the United Kingdom after their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962. They acquired the nickname "the Fab Four" as Beatlemania grew in Britain over the following year, and by early 1964 they had become international stars, leading the "British Invasion" of the United States pop market. From 1965 onwards, the Beatles produced what many critics consider their finest material, including the innovative and widely influential albums Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966), Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), The Beatles (commonly known as the White Album, 1968) and Abbey Road (1969). After their break-up in 1970, they each enjoyed successful musical careers. Lennon was shot and killed in December 1980, and Harrison died of lung cancer in November 2001. McCartney and Starr, the surviving members, remain musically active. (Wikipedia)

One of the most old song I like is "Yesterday". Really good lyric. And, oh, this song became friends when I was sad. If you like this song, let's sing together...! hehehhe


"Yesterday"

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

Rick Price : beautiful voice character

Rick price has a beautiful voice character and totally music romantic. He has a very strong musical theme with piano and guitar melodies. I likes "Heaven Knows" and "Now and Forever" song lyrics.

Rick Price (born 6 July 1961) is an Australian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and music producer, popular throughout Europe and Asia, where he has been given favourable reviews equal to those of such international vocalists as Bryan Adams and Richard Marx.

Price was born in Beaudesert, a small county town near Brisbane, Queensland. He began playing music at the age of nine appearing with his family band Union Beau. Citing such artists as diverse as Stevie Wonder, James Taylor and Carole King as inspiration At age 18, Price escaped to Sydney  and continued working as a musician, playing bass with various inner city outfits and landing the occasional studio and touring work. During the mid-80s Rick turned his focus more towards his singing. His distinctive vocals were soon in demand and in 1988 he was invited to sing "Celebration of a Nation", with Keren Minshull, the theme song for Australia's Bicentennial. This opportunity helped lay the foundations for his solo career. (Wikipedia)


Heaven Knows

She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up 'til I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know

And though she's so far away
It just keeps gettin' stronger, every day
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep tellin' me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows

Aubrey : The most romantic song

The most romantic song in my opinion. For some reason every time I hear this song, my feeling has always been peaceful. Aubrey, who is the real you?

"Aubrey" is a song written and composed by David Gates, and originally recorded by the pop-rock group Bread, of which Gates was the leader and primary music producer. It appeared on Bread's 1972 album Guitar Man. The single lasted 11 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 15.

David Gates wrote Aubrey after watching Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn.

This song swapped the assumed gender of the name "Aubrey," nearly extinguishing its use as a male name and popularizing "Aubrey" as a female name up to the present. (wikipedia)

check it out the lyric of Aubrey :

And Aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
But who's to blame?
For a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.

And Aubrey was her name.
We triped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was June.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,

But God I miss the girl,
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.

And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best.

But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.

Ricchard Cocciante : a singer has a melodious voice

Hi, this is my first post on my new blog. Ok, let's just focus on the post title, about a singer has a melodious voice, Ricchard Cocciante. The song that he made is very nice and makes the listener cry. Yeahhh, that’s true.

Let's get acquainted with the figure of Richard Cocciante first. Riccardo Cocciante, born 20 February 1946, is an Italian singer, composer, theatre man and musician.

He was born in Saigon, French Indochina, now Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to an Italian father and a French mother. He moved to Rome, Italy at the age of 11 where he attended school and started his career as musician coming to success around 1972. He also lived in the USA and Ireland. In 1976, Cocciante covered the Beatles song "Michelle" for the musical documentary All This and World War II, as well as releasing his sole English album in the US.

In 1991, he won the Sanremo Festival with the song "Se stiamo insieme", and for Christmas 1997 legendary Spanish operatic tenor and friend Plácido Domingo invited him to sing at Domingo's annual Christmas in Vienna concert, together with Sarah Brightman and Helmut Lotti.

As of 2008, Cocciante has three musicals running, probably Notre-Dame de Paris being the most known. This musical may later be put into competition against another musical in progress, Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame (musical). (Wikipedia)

Just for you is a song that I liked. This song makes me remember the person who will always be in my heart. Hohoho ... am I too romantic ?. sorry, forget it. ha ha ha. If you do not believe me, read the lyrics below,

Just For You - Richard Cocciante

I can’t stay now and just wait now, my hands then go so impatient
many things I’ve got to do now for the first ray of the morning.
Though she play in peaceful chamber, sleep to me just doesn’t come
when she wake I have to tell her everything I have to say.
And the night so dark inside me makes me finaly understand
where the love that she has given me, she can light the sky forever.
It’s the way she give so freely, it’s the way she takes my hands,
I just ask the sun shine brightly got to see her smile again.
Then I sing a song I’ve writen and I’ll make the whole world listen

in the silence just for you, like no one has ever heard.
And I wake up all the lovers and I give them back for hours
and we’ll do the things we wanted the way that lovers do.
And we’ll run into the street and we’ll start to dance like crazy
cos she want only to feel joy in the love she gives and needs.
And we’ll paint the street and building, rainbow color everyone
those she wants, colors to sing, and we’ll paint full fill with flowers,
make the street alive with spring, make a place where lovers go, fly away like lovers do.
Then we’ll fly into the sky and we’ll look into the stars
and our stars return the hole world,
the love we have, we are, the love we share is sweet
the love we know is real, that love is not to dream but last, we know that alone
Because you love and my begin without dreaming all begin,
and the love that you have give return to us to win
cos your love for me is not begining and the end your love
for me, forever, you love for me forever…
