I love The Corrs since my Secondary school days. Their album: Talk On Corners was the very first CD that I actually bought. 10 years today, they still look gorgeous, especially Andrea!
Anyway the other day I was on iTunes store looking for new music and I happened to stumble upon this song: When the Stars Go Blue. What caught my attention was that it is a song sang by The Corrs and U2’s Bono. The 30 seconds preview was what I needed to declare it My Current Favourite Song and My Current Most Played Song!
Did a little research on the song and found out that it’s orignally by Ryan Adams and it has been sang by many other artises including Tim McGraw. Among them, I still like the Corrs + Bono version best. Below is a clip of the song performed by The Corrs and Bono at Live 8. Enjoy the lovely clip!
I seldom watch American Idols, but I’m glad I caught the special charity episode: Idols Give Back. One of the highlights of the show was a duet by Celine Dion and Elvis Presley. After watching that duet, I’ve finally realized why Elvis was so popular then and even now. His charismatic stage presence, his mesmerizing and passionate voice, his looks.. I’ve officially became a fan of him.
The song: If I can Dream, I could listen to it over and over again, and it gets better each time!
On another note, after watching charity shows like BBC’s Top Gear of The Pops: Comic Relief Special, done for Comic Relief and American Idols: Idols Give Back, done for various causes in Africa, I think Singapore’s charity shows really gotta buck up. In Top Gear of The Pops: Comic Relief Special, like the name suggest, it uses comedy and laughter to get serious messages across, while making sure that everyone who gets involved can have fun at the same time. For Amercian Idols, they use music, the universal language, to spread the message.
We should learn from the foreigners, no need for dangerous stunts, actors and actresses doing (copied) acts.
I’m not afraid of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard
I’m just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby
You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone sins
Another day and you’ve had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along
