January 8th – Galileo dies – “Don’t let the sun go down on me”

Posted on January 8, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1642, #GalileoGallilei, the man who realised that the earth orbits the sun, died. I think the sun did go down on him on this day though #singing;#feelgood

Don’t let the sun go down on me

I can’t light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I’m growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my lifeIt’s much to late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of fife
But you misread my meaning when i met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the lightDon’t let the sun go down on me
Although i search myself, it’s always someone else i see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can’t find oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way i feel
Don’t discard me just because you think i mean you harm
But these cuts i have, oh they need love to help them heal

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although i search myself, it’s always someone else i see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

January 6th – Morse demonstrates the telegraph – “SOS”

Posted on January 6, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1838 #Morse first demonstrated the #telegraph. Abba couldn’t have written this song before then! #singing;#feelgood

SOS

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so goodSo when you’re near me, darling can’t you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you’re near me, darling can’t you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

So when you’re near me, darling can’t you hear me
S. O. S.
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

January 4th – The Eleventh Day of Christmas – “Boom bang a bang”

Posted on January 4, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Remember the fireworks on New Years Eve? Well in 1999 the #Euro started to be used for the first time and here is a UK winning song from the #EUROvision song contest to remind you of both occasions! #singing;#feelgood

Boom bang a bang

Come closer, come closer and listen
The beat of my heart keeps on missing
I notice it most when we’re kissing
Come closer and love me tonight
That’s right
Come closer and cuddle me tightMy heart goes
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
When you are near
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
Loud in my ear
Pounding away, pounding away
Won’t you be mine?
Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the timeIt’s such a lovely feeling
When I’m in your arms
Don’t go away
I wanna stay my whole life through
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
Close to youYour smile is so warm and inviting
The thought of your kiss is exciting
So hold me and don’t keep me waiting
Come closer and love me tonight
That’s right
Come closer and cuddle me tight

My heart goes
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
When you are near
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
Loud in my ear
Pounding away, pounding away
Won’t you be mine?
Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the time

It’s such a lovely feeling
When I’m in your arms
Now you are near
I wanna hear your heartbeat too
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
I love you

It’s such a lovely feeling
When I’m in your arms
Now you are near
I wanna hear your heartbeat too
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
I love you

January 3rd – The tenth Day of Christmas – “Things can only get better”

Posted on January 3, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Here’s another song to inspire you to make this your best year yet! #singing;#feelgood #new year

Things can only get better

We’re not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand skeptic hands
Won’t keep us from the things we plan
Unless we’re clinging to the things we prizeAnd do you feel scared, I do
But I won’t stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get betterWhoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret
It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it

And do you feel scared, I do
And I won’t stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better

Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)

And do you feel scared, I do
And I won’t stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Ah!

Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)

Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa oh-oh-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa whoa whoa-whoa oh-oh-oh
(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh

January 2nd – The Ninth Day of Christmas – “Don’t stop thinkin’ about tomorrow”

Posted on January 2, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Here’s another song to inspire you to make this your best year yet! #singing;#feelgood #carol #christmas

Don’t stop thinkin’ about tomorrow

If you wake up and don’t want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You’ll see things in a different way.
Don’t stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here,
It’ll be, better than before,
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone.
Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that you’ve done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.
Don’t stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here,
It’ll be, better than before,
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone.
All I want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don’t believe that it’s true,
I never meant any harm to you.
Don’t stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here,
It’ll be, better than before,
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone.
Don’t you look back,
Don’t you look back.

January 1st – The Eighth Day of Christmas – HAPPY NEW YEAR! “Don’t stop believin”

Posted on January 1, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

At the start of a new year, decide on your dream for 2014 and go for it! #singing;#feelgood #carol #christmas

Don’t stop believin’

Just a small town girl
Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin’ anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin’ anywhereA singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and onStrangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’ somewhere in the night

Workin’ hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’ somewhere in the night

[Instrumental interlude]

Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlights, people
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlights, people

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot

Posted on December 29, 2015 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

Here is our last carol of the year. Silent Night – surely one of the most popular worldwide. #singing;#feelgood #carol #christmas

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright.
Proud young virgin mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.Silent night, holy night. Shepherds wake at the sight.
Glorious dreams from heaven above. Heavenly hosts sing “Hallelujah.”
“Christ the savior is born, Christ the savior is born.”Silent night, holy night. Son of God, love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from thy holy face with the dawn of breathing in grace.
Jesus Lord of thy herd, Jesus Lord of thy herd.
Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.
