Seperate Ways

Jag fortsätter fylla på min Elvis-kategori med Seperate Ways. En låt med mycket känslor och såå vacker.

Seperate Ways

I see a change is coming to our lives
It's not the same as it used to be
And it's not too late to realise our mistake
Were just not right for each other
Love has slipped away left us only friends
We almost seem like strangers
All that's left between us are the memories we shared
Of times we thought we cared for each other
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us
Some day when she's older, maybe she will understand
Why her mom and dad are not together
The tears that she will cry when I have to say goodbye
Will tear at my heart forever
There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways
And pick up all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love will find us

                                                                                             


Is it so strange

Som vanligt har jag fastnat för en låt, Elvis förstås. Måste ju också lägga in den som alltid. Fick förstås en chock när jag loggade in på Spotify nyss då jag inte märkt att appen uppdaterats. Från svart till vitt....

Is it so strange

Oh, if you tell a lie
You know that I'll forgive you
Though you say our love is just a game

And when you hear my name
You'll say I'm from a strange world
But is it so strange to
be in love with you

Is it so strange
That I love you more than all the world
it so strange
I have no eyes for any other girl

Oh won't you take me back
And say that you still love me
To waste a love like ours would be a sin

Let us kiss again
Let me hold you near
And take me from this strange world
That I'm living in

Mamma på besök

I helgen har jag haft mamma här. Det har varit jättemysigt att få rå om henne helt själv. Vi har ätit gott och sett på Elvis förstås. Och jag kände att det var dags att lägga in en av många låtar här som vi båda tycker är så himla fin och känslosam.


I'll Remember You

I'll remember you
Long after this endless summer has gone
I'll be lonely oh so lonely
Living only to remember you

I'll remember too
Your voice as soft as the warm summer breeze
Your sweet laughter, mornings after
Ever after, I'll remember you

To your arms someday I'll return to stay
Till then I will remember too
Every bright start we made wishes upon
Love me always, promise always
Oooh, you'll remember too

I'll remember you

Something

Känner för att lägga in den här låten. Den är riktigt fin. Åh, jag ryser när jag hör den. En av mina och mammas favvo-Elvis låtar. När han typ var som bäst, fast han va ju alltid bäst, men en bra tid. 
Från Aloha from Hawaii 1973.

 
Something


Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she moves me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
All I gotta do is think of her
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she moves me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she moves
All I gotta do is think of her
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how


Blue Suede Shoes

Har bytt ringsignal till denna goding efter att ha haft Michael Jacksons "Bad" ett bra tag.



Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.


The King fyller 75 år!

Idag vill jag hylla min idol, The King of Rock n' Roll, Elvis Presley. Han skulle ha fyllt 75 år idag. Trots att han lämnade denna jord och de människor som avgudade honom för flera decennier sedan, kommer han alltid leva vidare i våra hjärtan och bli ihågkommen som den begåvade artist han var. Så med ett enkelt grattis och en liten födelsedagssång hyllar jag The King. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Elvis! Happy birthdag to you!! ___ Ikväll åker jag till borga. Där finns ett till födelsedagsbarn. Grattis Janni!

Holly Leaves and Christmas Trees

Somewhere in, in the distant night
I hear Christmas bells
The gentle snow keeps falling down on people
Who are homeward bound
That's the it's always been
The circle really never ends
Christmas seems to come and go
From the place that I don't know
Holly leaves and Christmas trees
It's that time of year


Lights aglow and mistletoe Don't mean a thing when you're not here As I walk, walk this lonely street The sound of snow beneath my feet I'll think of how it used to be Holly leaves and Christmas trees Use to mean so much to me

The wonderful world of Christmas

Julmånaden, December, är här för att ta oss igenom en mörk tid på ett mysigt och stämningsfullt sätt. Nu när det blev lite vitt och vädret verkar bättra på sig har julkänslan kommit krypandes. Mysfaktor 100 hemma hos oss och ljus överallt, åh så mysigt! Om inte julen fanns så hade det här mörkret tagit kål på en. Nu har man ju i alla fall en glad månad framför sig. 1 december idag, och jag tog mig tid att se första avsnittet av årets julkalender i morse. Lika besviken som vanligt blir man då julkalendrarna blir sämre och sämre för varje år. Men jag ska ge den en chans och fortsätta se den i alla fall.

Ikväll blir det gympa för min del. Sedan kanske man ska ta sig för att baka något smått. Kanske drömmar. Drömmar bakar jag alltid till jul, för jag tycker de är så otroligt goda!

Bjuder denna morgon på en julsång, som finns med på min Elvis julskiva. Underbart!

The wonderful world of christmas
Is a wonderful world to behold
The wonderful world of christmas
Was made for the young and the old                                

Smile and good cheer of each neighbour
And children with cheeks all aglow
So warm is this Christmassy feeling
With the tree tops all locked up with snow

Listen to those wondrous bells
And you'll hear them say
Open up your heart to all on this holy day

The wonderful worl of christmas
Is a joy from the moment it starts
The wonderful world of christmas
Shall remain every day in our hearts

Young dreams

Tänkte meddela att jag inte har glömt bort Elvis trots att jag varit väldigt inne i Michael Jacksons musik på senaste tiden.



                                                              


Young dreams (young dreams, young dreams)
My heart is filled with young dreams (dreams)
And I’m longing to
Share them all with you

In my eyes, (my eyes, my eyes)
Oh can’t you see in my eyes (in eyes)
That you’re the only one who
Can make my young dreams come true

I have young arms
That wanna hold you (hold you)
Hold you oh so tight
I have young lips (lips)
That want to kiss you (kiss you)
Kiss you morning noon and night
Take my hand (my hand my hand)
Oh darling take my hand (take hand)
And let me make you a part
Of all my young dreams of love

I have young arms
That wanna hold you (hold you)
Hold you oh so tight
I have young lips (lips)
That want to kiss you (kiss you)
Kiss you morning noon and night
Take my hand (my hand my hand)
Oh darling take my hand (take hand)
And let me make you a part
Of all my young dreams of love
A part of all of my young dreams of love
(young dreams of love, young dreams of love)


I gotta know

Tycker denna låt med Elvis är så himla svängig, jag blir glad av den :)




Get up in the mornin' feelin' mighty weak
A tossin' and a turnin' well, I had ain't no sleep
Oh baby, what road's our love taking?
To romance or heartbreaking'
Won't you say which way you're gonna go
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know

Nine and nine make fourteen, four and four make nine
The clock is strikin' thirteen I think I lost my mind
You know it's gettin' aggravatin'
How long can I keep waitin'
Tell me if you love me yes or no,
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know

Oh, how much I need you
Have pity on this heart of mine
Well, if you need and want me too,
I'll be your one and only till the end of time

Saw the fortune teller, had my fortune read
She sent me to the doctor, who sent me straight to bed
He said I'm lonesome and I'm lovesick
I've got my mind on lipstick
Will you kiss away my cares and woe?
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know

The impossible dream

Fortsätter föregående inlägg med en sång som stämmer rätt bra på hur det känns.


To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star


This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest




And the world would be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star





.

Where do I go from here?

If I knew the way I'd go back home
The countryside has changed so much I'd surely end up lost
Half-remembered names and faces so far in the past
On the other side of the bridges that were burned once they were crossed

Tell me where, where does a fool go when there's no-one left to listen
To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here
Where will I go from here

Get back home where my childhood dreams and wishes still are none of my regrets
Go back to a place where I can figure all the odds
Have a fighting chance to lose the blues and win my share of bets

Tell me where, where does a fool go when there's no-one left to listen
To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here
Where will I go from here























Elvis Presley - Where do I go from here?

If every day was like Christmas


I hear the bells
Saying Christmas is near
They ring out to tell the world
That this is the season of cheer



I hear a choir
Singing sweetly somewhere
And a glow fills my heart
I'm at peace with the world
As the sound of their singing fills the air


Oh why can't every day be like Christmas
Why can't this feeling go on endlessly
For if every day could be just like Christmas
What a wonderful world this would be



Help me make it...

....through the night.


Take the ribbon from you hair
Shake it loose let it fall
Lay it soft against my skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
I won't try to understand
Let the devil Take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrows out of sight

And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night

We can make the morning

  I just thought I heard a small voice crying
Looked again and saw that it was me
I feel like a llittle girl denying
That she fears the night 'cause she can't see

Then a larger thought said stop your crying
Don't be scared to search cause you may find
Fate holds out a candle for your footsteps
Time rolls back the shadows of your mind

                                               It's a long, long lonely night  
You can make the morning if you try
It's a long, long lonely night
Oh, we can make the morning if we try
We can make the morning you and I
Together, together, together

  Loneliness is darkness first companion
Spend the night alone and faith may bend
Share it all and se how fear starts fading
Chase away the shadows with a friend


    Dawn's elusive light is just beginning
Now the day can push away the night
Dreams can make the sun feel much brighter
Hope creates a foothold for the light
