Sarah Connor-- Make you high



Intro:
I'm gonna make u high, high
When you're feeling low, low
Show you all the joy, joy
You've never seen
And then we do it right, right
Lovin' you in slow mo
This is what you get
If you're gonna be with me
I'm gonna make you high, high
When you're feeling low, low

Verse 1:
Hey boy, I've been watching you
Been thinking of
What we could do
And now I know you can feel it too
We're gonna come together every night
And hey you, come on over here
I surely feel
The time is near
And in my mind I can see it clear
I show you how it's gonna be alright
So...

Bridge:
Better stop to mess around
It's the night we're gettin' down
Gonna take you higher
We can do it now

Chorus:
I'm gonna make u high, high
When you're feeling low, low
Show you all the joy, joy
You've never seen
And then we do it right, right
Lovin' you in slow mo

If you're gonna be with me
I'm gonna make you high, high
When you're feeling low, low
Everything you want, want
Get it from me
I hold you very tight, tight
Wanna let it grow, grow
This is what you get
If you're gonna be with me

Verse 2:
Now I got you hypnotized
It's always me
Who's on your mind
Come over here, baby, don't be shy
We're gonna play together every night
And no one's stoppin' you and me
They have to face
Reality
There is no chance, we're in ecstasy
And stay there 'til the dawning of the day

Bridge

Chorus

C part:
Lada dia da
I can show you all
Lada dia da
You wanna know
I'm gonna make you high, high
When you're feeling low, low

What happens when you put together two great voices?

Sometimes, they don't fit quite well, and still the result is quite interesting.

There we go with Adam Levine from Maroon 5 and Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty, performing "Harder to breath"

Rob Thomas - This Is How A Heart Breaks

Totally awesome.

Just in case, someone asks. Nothing to do w/ the latest conversations :)

SAILING...

Thanks to a couple of friends, we experienced again going on a boat, but I got news! No seasickness this time.

The sunset was great. Sailing was awesome.

A few songs that could go with the mood:

Christopher Cross-- Sailing



Jose Luis Perales -- Un velero llamado libertad




Isabel Pantoja -- Marinero de luces



Manolo Escobar -- Hablame del mar, marinero

TRIBUTE TO EAGLES

Hotel California

We have been in one of the 'proclaimed as THE hotel California'. We found out later that, of course, wasn't the one they slept and composed the magic tune that accompanies us everywhere we go. That's what looks like. It was cool for a while, though. XD

Still divine.



On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
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
The 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!




Take it easy

XDXDXD



One of these nights

There we go with a theme that sounds so old, so new. Rhythm transports you far away.



One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out
Pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling
The fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers
And moans

You got your demons
You got desires
Well, I got a few of my own

Oo, someone to be kind to in
Between the dark and the light
Oo, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
One of these nights

One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams
We're gonna find one
One that really screams

I've been searching for the daughter
Of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little
Of both
And I can feel her but she's nowhere
In sight

Oo, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right
Oo, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
One of these nights

One of these nights
In between the dark and the light
Coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
Get 'ya baby one of these nights
One of these nights
One of these nights
I can feel it
I can feel it
One of these nights
Coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you now
One of these nights..[etc.]

RICK ASTLEY-- CRY FOR HELP





She's taken my time
Convinced me she's fine
But when she leaves
I'm not so sure
It's always the same
She's playing her game
And when she goes
I feel to blame

Why won't she say she needs me
I know she's not as strong as she seems

Why don't I see a cry for help
Why don't I feel a cry for help
Why don't I hear her cry for help

I wandered around
The streets of this town
Trying to find
Sense in it all
The rain on my face
It covers the trace
All of the tears
I've had to waste

Why must we hide emotions
Why can't we ever break down and cry

All that I need is to cry for help
Somebody please hear me cry for help
All I can do is cry for help

No need to feel ashame
Release the pain and
Cry for help

(Choir)
Cry for help
Is all I need
All I need
Is a cry for help
Cry for help
Is all I need
All I need
Is a cry for help

Is a cry for help

Why must we hide emotions
Why can't we ever break down and cry

All that I need is to cry for help
I will be there when you cry for help
Why don't I hear a cry for help
All that I need is a cry for help
Somebody please hear me cry for help
All I can do is cry for help
All that I need is to cry for help
I will be there when you cry for help
Is it so hard to cry for help

(Choir)
Cry for help
Is all I need
All I need
Is a cry for help
Cry for help
Is all I need
All I need
Is a cry for help

No need to feel ashamed
Come and release the pain
Now put your trust in me
My love is gonna set you free
All I need is a cry for help

TRIBUTE TO SCORPIONS

No one like you:



Wind of change:



Still loving you:

TRIBUTE TO FOREIGNER

I just noticed, I know more songs from them that I thought... And all of them amazingly were already at some point of my life. Reminds me Toto style, but still another animal. There you go, a few examples:

The one I knew quite well before: Urgent



The one I liked without knowing the author: I wanna know what love is:



The one that makes lots of sense: Waiting For a girl Like You




Such a great song: Cold as Ice




Classic: Hot blooded

WHAT IF...?

Is there a Disney movie based in Palin?

Right now, there is not such a thing, but I already got the trailer. :)

Enjoy!

When I learn something, I want to share it too.....


For your information, there’s more than one Rosetta Stone, says Egyptologist

By Ahmed Maged
First Published: October 13, 2008


CAIRO: An Egyptology researcher has called for the display of another original version of the Rosetta Stone at the entrance of the Egyptian Antiquities Museum, dismissing the official request by Egypt to repatriate the stone from the UK as mere propaganda.

Researcher Bassam El Shammaa, who also works as a tour guide, told Daily News Egypt that there are different versions of the stone, which was discovered in Rashid in 1799. The two similar stelae discovered in Kom El Hesn in the Western Delta are currently exhibited in the Greco-Roman section of the museum.

“They have never been promoted as exact copies of the Rosetta Stone despite the fact that, besides being in better condition than their counterpart, on exhibit at the British Museum since 1802, they display the same royal text,” El Shammaa said.

The diorite bulky dubbed the Rosetta Stone derives its importance from the fact that it helped Thomas Young and Francois Champollion, pioneers of the modern science of Egyptology, to decipher the ancient Egyptian language by comparing the hieroglyphic text to its counterparts in classical Greek and Demotic, another ancient Egyptian script also inscribed on the stone.

Regrettably, says the researcher, only a modern replica of the Rosetta Stone is currently on display at the museum’s entrance although one of the two original stelae could easily replace it.

“They are known as the Canopy Stones because they were found at an archaeological site near Canopy, the extinct estuary of the Nile located 100 km from Rashid.

“Each is 220 cm high, unlike the Rosetta Stone, which currently measures 114cm after part of it was lost. Upon its discovery, the Rosetta Stone was 149 cm high.”

El Shammaa also insists that a search be carried out to find similar stones that probably still remain buried beneath the different ancient Egyptian temples.

“Other original versions of the stone could also be lying under the bulky stones of the temples at Edfu, Dandara and Phaela — you never know,” he argued.

The explained that the text on the stone, which stipulates that temples and priests are exempt from taxation during the reign of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, was a traditional honorary religious decree distributed across all temples in Egypt each time a Ptolemaic sovereign ascended the throne.

“I demand a sonar search be applied to all the ancient temples, especially the chamber of the ‘The Holy of the Holiest’ in each temple, where such stones are believed to have been preserved,” he said.

This way, El Shammaa believes, Egypt will probably obtain scores of originals and bring an end the futile propaganda relating to the Rosetta Stone.

“Why should we ask for it back when we have several others?”

He also questioned why the authorities are content with exhibiting a replica at the museum’s gate when one of the two Canopy Stones could go on display in a glass case equipped with a humidity regulator.

“The Canopy Stones are even older as they date back to King Ptolemy III, whereas the Rosetta Stone marked the ascension of King Ptolemy V to the throne of Egypt.”

When the Canopy Stones were discovered in Kom El Hesn, we found out that the hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek texts were the same as the ones carved on the Rosetta Stone, but with the only difference that the Canopy Stones were intact, said El Shammaa.

“Comparing the versions, we also detected a spelling mistake in the last line of the Greek text, a fact that could probably prove that the texts on the Rosetta Stone were inscribed by Egyptians.”

Part of the text was tell-tale, according to Shammaa.

He explained: “It is inscribed that: ‘this decree will be carved on stones and displayed at all the temples beside the sovereign’s eternal figure.’ Shouldn’t that tell you that scores of original Rosetta stones could be buried under the heavy rocks of these temples?”

Bubba Ho-Tep trailer

When you mix up that Elvis and JFK are still alive living in a care center down in Texas, with the idea that by mistake a mummy appears around the same town too, wearing two guns and a cowboy hat, adding that they found hieroglyphics (badly and wrongly translate, BTW) in a restroom, and also, that instead of beetles, the sacred and deadly animal from the Ancient Egypt is a humongous cockroach.......

I don't know if I love the movie, or I just feel like I wasted my time. The good thing is that Bruce Campbell was there, and he makes his work nicely.

The best thing you could do is watch at least the trailer, and let me know later.

Steve Martin --- King Tut and lyrics (1978)

When the first exhibit in the States about Tut came, Steve Martin got a hit w/ this satiric song about how everybody will get on a line just to see him. Looks like it is gonna happen again and now could be even worse, I guess.





See the original show:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP7AJiQM2RI

You know, one of the greatest art exhibits ever to tour the United
States is the treasures of Tutankamen or King Tut!
(King Tut)
(King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He'd never thought he'd see,
(King Tut)
People stand in line,
To see the boy king.
(King Tut)
How'd you get so funky?
(Funky Tut)
They said you do the monkey.
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, King Tut)
(King Tut)
Now if I'd known,
They'd line up just to see him,
(King Tut)
I'd've taken all my money,
And bought me a museum.
(King Tut)
Buried with a donkey,
(Funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey.
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, King Tut)
Dancing by the Nile,
(Disco dancing)
The ladies love his style.
(Fox Tut)
Rockin' for a mile,
(Rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.
He gave his life for tourism.
(King Tut)
(Tut, tut. Tut, tut . . .)
Golden idols!
He's an Egyptian!
They're selling you.
(King Tut)
Now when I die,
Now don't think I'm a nut.
(King Tut)
Don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like old King Tut.
(King Tut)
He could'a won a Grammy,
(King Tut)
Buried in his 'jamies.
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, he was born in Arizona)
He's got a condo made of stone-a. . .
(King Tut)

Article about how the Egyptian culture has influenced our Western culture:

KING TUT COMES TO TOWN


Everlasting life to the Egyptian knowledge, culture and art.

Funny fact:

I just noticed that there is an Egyptian Zodiac. The sources I checked admit different gods and goddesses for the same period of the year. I will stick w/ the one I like better since I don't trust in any Zodiac for the Egyptian culture. They did not have one for every 30 days. Their calendars were based in the Nile tides and harvesting seasons.

I like this website, even though, I would rather have Isis, Ra, Maat, or Anubis as my God/dess of birth. Still, kind of cool.

Until the sky falls down on me...
Verse 2

And when the stars are shining brightly
In the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish
Send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy
For all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded
By the comfort and protection of..
The highest power.
In lonely hours.
The tears devour you..
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...

Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...

I'll be your dream

I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do...
