I'm so happy you have stopped by... One of the things I love about the internet, is that you can make friends with people who live on the other side of the world, without leaving your house... so, thanks for popping in. Even if you don't have time to leave a comment now try and come back when you have a minute... just because it’s REALLY nice to have people to share things with!
this is not a suggestion nor a new year resolution...
it's a film I've just watched on TV and I loved it pretty much
summary:Shy, chain-smoking, insomniac Peter McGowan is an L.A. playwright with a string of hits that preceded his current ten years of failed productions. His mother-in-law is sinking into senility, a stranger is meandering the neighborhood claiming to be him, neighbors have a new dog that barks all night; his wife wants to have a child, and he does not: he's become impotent. He's working on a new play when a single mom moves in next door with her 8-year-old daughter. His wife immediately invites the girl into the McGowan household. Will this child stir Peter's paternal feelings? Will she also help him get his dialogue right? And what of his doppelganger and the neighbor's dog?
and it was funny to listen to the characters singing this very song
note: In fiction, folklore, and popular culture, a doppelgänger is a tangible double of a living person that typically represents evil. It is also incorrectly used as the colloquial for the double or look-alike of a person, such as a twin.
Personally, I think that in the movie is referred rather as an 'alter ego'.
UP WHERE WE BELONG
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world where few hearts survive
All i know is the way i feel
When its real i keep it alive
The road is long there are mountains in the way
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles fly on a mountan high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to usued to be
Live there life looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives out there to find
The road is long and there are mountains in my way
But we climb the stairs everyday
CHORUS
Time goes by no time to cry
Just you and i alone

La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween! (etc.) source for the lyrics
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things!
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things!
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring
These are a few of my favorite things!
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember
my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad!
There you are the lyrics of Paperback Writer by John Lennon
Paper back writer (paperback writer)
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
It's the dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand.
The son (The Sun) is working for the Daily Mail,
It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
Paperback writer (paperback writer)
It's a thousand pages, give or take a few,
I'll be writing more in a week or two.
I can make it longer if you like the style,
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
If you really like it you can have the rights,
It could make a million for you overnight.
If you must return it, you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail Yes, I would. If I only could, I surely would I'd rather be a hammer than a nail Yes, I would, If I coul, I surely would
Away , I'd rahther sail away like a swan that's here and gone A man gets tied up to the ground he gives the world its saddest sound it's saddest sound.
I'd rahter be a forest than a street Yes, I would, If I could, I surely would I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet yes I would, if I only could, I surely would...
If I had to live my life without you near me The days would all be empty The nights would seem so long With you I see forever oh so clearly I might have been in love before But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young And we both know they'll take us Where we want to go
Hold me now Touch me now I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you You ought know by now how much I love you One thing you can be sure of I'll never ask for more than your love
(Chorus 3) Nothing's gonna change my love for you You ought know by now how much I love you The world may change my whole life through But nothing's gonna change my love for you
If the road ahead is not so easy, Our love will lead the way for us Like a guiding star I'll be there for you if you should need me You don't have to change a thing I love you just the way you are So come with me and share the view I'll help you see forever too
And so it is Just like you said it would be Life goes easy on me Most of the time And so it is The shorter story No love, no glory No hero in her skies
I can't take my eyes off you I can't take my eyes off you ................
And so it is Just like you said it should be We'll both forget the breeze Most of the time And so it is The colder water The blower's daughter The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off you I can't take my eyes off you .........................
Did I say that I loathe you? Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off you I can't take my mind off you... I can't take my mind... My mind...my mind... 'Til I find somebody new
nota: el título en español sería " la hija del flautista", pues Demian la escribió para la hija de su profesor de flauta, de la que estaba enamorado.
Y es así justo como dijiste que sería la vida pasa rápido la mayoria del tiempo y es así una pequeña historia si no hay amor, no hay gloria ni un héroe en tu cielo
No puedo quitar mis ojos de ti...
Y es así, justo como dijiste que debía ser nos olvidamos de la brisa La mayoría del tiempo Y es así el agua más fría la hija del flautista el alumno fracasado
No puedo quitar mis ojos de ti... ¿Dije qué te detesto? ¿Dije qué desearia dejarlo todo atrás?
No puedo quitarte de mi mente ......Hasta que encuentre a alguien más...
another one: 9 Crimes Leave me out with the waste, This is not what I'd do It's the wrong kind of place To be thinking of you It's the wrong time For somebody new It's a small crime And I've got no excuse. Is that alright? Give my gun away when it's loaded. Is that alright? If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold. it Is that alright? Give my gun away when it's loaded Is that alright Is that alright with you?

Déjame afuera, con la basura. Esto no es lo que yo hago. Es el lugar incorrecto para estar pensando en ti. Es el momento incorrecto para alguien nuevo. Es un pequeño crimen, y no tengo ninguna excusa. ¿Está bien? Te llevaste mi arma lejos cuando estaba cargada. ¿Está bien? Si tú no la disparaste, ¿Cómo se supone que la sostuve?¿Está bien? Te llevaste mi arma lejos cuando estaba cargada. Está bien, ¿Te parece bien? Déjame afuera, con el la basura. Esto no es lo que yo hago. Es el lugar incorrecto para andar engañándote. Es el momento incorrecto pero me está sacando del apuro. Es un pequeño crimen, y no tengo ninguna excusa. ¿Está bien? Te llevaste mi arma lejos cuando estaba cargada. ¿Está bien? Si tú no la disparaste, ¿Cómo se supone que la sostuve? ¿Está bien? Te llevaste mi arma lejos cuando estaba cargada. Está bien, ¿Te parece bien? ¿Está bien?... No...
I blame you for the moonlit sky and the dream that died with the eagles flight I blame you for the moonlit nights when I wonder why are the seas still dry? don't blame this sleeping satellite
did we fly to the moon too soon? did we squander the chance? in the rush of the race the reason we chase is lost in romance and still we try to justify the waste for a taste of man's gratest adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky and the dream that died with the eagles flight I blame you for the moonlit nights when I wonder why are the seas still dry? don't blame this sleeping satellite
have we got what it takes to advance? have we peak too soon? if the world is so great then why does it scream under a blue moon? we wonder why if the earth's sacrificed for the price of its greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky and the dream that died with the eagles flight I blame you for the moonlit nights when I wonder why are the seas still dry? don't blame this sleeping satellite
and when we shoot for the stars what a giant step have we got what it takes to carry the weight of this concept? or pass it by like a shot in the dark miss the mark with a sense of adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky and the dream that died with the eagles flight I blame you for the moonlit nights when I wonder why are the seas still dry? don't blame this sleeping satellite
Just like a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, You have appeared to my life, Feel like I'll never be the same, Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands, Honour to love you
Still I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this, With anyone but you, We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind,
You've got this look I can't describe, You make me feel like I'm alive, When everything else is au fait, Without a doubt you're on my side, Heaven has been away too long, Can't find the words to write this song, Oh... Your love,
Still I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this, With anyone but you, We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind,
Now I have come to understand, The way it is, It's not a secret anymore, 'cause we've been through that before, From tonight I know that you're the only one, I've been confused and in the dark, Now I understand,
I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this, With anyone but you, I wonder why it is, I wont let my guard down, For anyone but you We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind,
Just like a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, You have appeared to my life, Feel like I'll never be the same, Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands
Now you say you’re lonely You cry the long night through (entirely; from beginning to end) Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river I cried a river over you
Now you say you’re sorry For being so untrue (unfaithful; being with other lovers) Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head (made me go crazy) While you never shed atear (cried) Remember, I remember, all that you said You told me love was too plebeian (low class; common; vulgar) Told me you were through with me (done with our relationship) and
Now you say you love me Well, just to prove (to show without doubt) that you do Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you I cried a river over you I cried a river…over you…
***
“Cry me a river” is a phrase we use when someone complains (say they don’t like something) and we want to tell them to stop because we don’t care what he or she is saying. When one of our listeners recently asked a question about this phrase, it reminded me of one of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite singers.
The song is called “Cry Me a River” and it is sung by Diana Krall, a jazz singer who is originally from Canada and now lives in the U.S. This is actually an old song and Diana Krall is not the first to sing it, but I like her version (interpretation).
In this song, she is singing to a man who broke her heart (made her sad because he did not love her). And now, he wants to return to her. When he complains that he is lonely and sad, she says, “cry me a river,” meaning she doesn’t care because she had “cried a river” over him when he said he didn’t love her. Now, she says, he will need to cry a lot, enough to fill a river, for her to forgive him.
♫ THE PROMISE ♫ If you wait for me then I'll come for you Although I've traveled far I always hold a place for you in my heart If you think of me, if you miss me once in awhile Then I'll return to you I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Where all my journeys end If you can make a promise if its one that you can keep, I vow to come for you If you wait for me and say youll hold
~ Christopher Cross I know, I know what's on your mind And I know it gets tough sometimes But you can give it one more try Find a reason why You should pick it up And try it again
'Cause it's all right I think we're gonna make it I think it might just work out this time It's all right I think we're gonna make it I think it might work out fine this time It's all right I think we're gonna make it I think it might just work out 'Cause it's not too late for that Too late for me (love)
I know I've been hurt before And I know I really shouldn't give any more But this time This time things seem just a little different And when I look in your eyes You know I can see that it's true And I hear you say it's all right
Just when you feel helpless Nothing left to say Love will find us The past behind us Then we're on our way
Time and time again I see People so unsure like me We all know it gets hard sometimes You can give it one more try Find another reason why You should pick it up You should kick it up And try it again
Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds. Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears, go ahead release your fears. Stand up and be counted, don't be ashamed to cry.
You gotta be...you gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser.You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger.
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together. All I know, all I know, love will save the day.
Herald what your mother said. Read the books your father read. Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time.
Some may have more cash than you. Others take a different view. My, oh my, hey, hey, hey.
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser. You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger.
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together. All I know, all I know, love will save the day.
Time ask no questions, it goes on without you. Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace.
The world keeps on spinning, you can't stop it, if you try to. This time, it's danger staring you in the face.
Remember, listen as your day unfolds. Challenge what the future holds. Try and keep your head up to the sky.
Lovers, they may cause you tears. Go ahead, release your fears. My, oh my, hey, hey, hey.
