MOUNTAIN O' THINGS: SONGS THAT EXAMINE ONE'S CONSCIENCE




MOUNTAIN O' THINGS
Performed by Tracy Chapman

The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
 I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a life of ease
And mountains
Oh mountains o' things

To have a big expensive car
Drag my furs on the ground
And have a maid that I can tell
 To bring me anything
 Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
I'll revel in their attention
And mountains
Oh mountains o' things

Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
 Is having mountains o' nothings at birth
 
Oh they tell me
There's still time to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things you gained by
Exploiting other human beings

Consume more than you need
This is a dream
 To make you pauper
Or make you queen
I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
 For me and all my mountains o' things


 Mostly I feel lonely
Good good people are
good people are only
My stepping stones
It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
To surround me
Keep all my enemies away
Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay

I'll be dreaming
 dreaming, dreaming,
 dreaming, dreaming...

DANCING TO THE EIGHTIES: ON THE CEILING




As I was browsing through my old LP collection, I came upon this dance hit Dancing On The Ceiling by Lionel Richie released in 1986. I remember the time it first aired on MTV, it was an instant huge hit. Everybody danced and partied to Lionel's monstrous dance track as we were captivated and amazed at the brilliant production of this well-crafted music video.

The new generation of today's music fans can now come to know what real pop dance music was in its height of popularity in the mid-eighties; a time when the Motown sound dominated the dance charts with Michael Jackson's Thriller and Lionel Richie's Dancing On The Ceiling.

In today's technology of high definition video and digital audio, Lionel Richie should go back to the production studio to do justice to this classic and undergo a 2010 high-definition re-shoot of Dancing On The Ceiling, with the same brilliant director using far more advanced video equipment and newer sophisticated editing styles.

This is one classic dance song that truly deserves a new version for the younger generation to appreciate even more. Oh What A Feeling, Seeing This Video Is Believing!

WHEN YOU LOVE THE JOURNEY OF STEVE PERRY





Steve Perry is the most loved, admired, and one of the original controversial members of Journey who was credited for the very impressionable rendition of most of their legendary classic hits.

When You Love A Woman was the last production effort of JOURNEY as a complete group with Steve Perry before his departure; where he continually demonstrates his excellent vocal prowess and exceptional writing ability to prove to one and all that the original success of Journey as a legendary rock group was established with the creative talent of the original band members.


WHEN YOU LOVE A WOMAN
JONATHAN CAIN / STEVE PERRY
 
In my life I see where I've been
I said that I'd never fall again
Within myself I was wrong
My searchin' ain't over . . over
I know that

When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
You know she's standin' by your side
A joy that lasts forever
There's a band of gold that shines waiting
Somewhere . . . oh oh yeah

If I can't believe that someone is true
To fall in love is so hard to do
I hope and pray tonight
Somewhere you're thinking of me girl
Yes I know I . . . I know that

When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
You know she's standin' by your side
A joy that lasts forever
There's a band of gold that shines, 
Waiting somewhere . . oh . . oh

It's enough to make you cry.
When you see her walkin' by
And you look into her eyes

Oh . . oh . . oh

When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
Well you know she's standin' by your side
A joy that lasts forever

There's a band of gold that shines . . .
When you love a woman . . .
When you love, love, love
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes.

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS: JOURNEY WITH ARNEL PINEDA



AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
JOURNEY WITH ARNEL PINEDA

A faded wedding photograph
You and me in our first dance
Our eyes are closed
We're lost in one sweet embrace
Since those days the world has changed
Our love remains the same
God knows we've had our share of saving grace

And I'm proud of all the blessings
You have given me
The mountains we have climbed to get this far
You learn to take the laughter with the tears
After all these years

You make it feel brand new
After the fires that we walked thru
Against the odds we never lost our faith

In a house we've made our own
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments time can not erase

Make a livin' up and down the gypsy highway
Seasons that we've beared to share apart
Somehow in my heart I always keep you near
After all these years

After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years

After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years

OPEN ARMS WITH JOURNEY AND ARNEL PINEDA




OPEN ARMS
JONATHAN CAIN / STEVE PERRY
PERFORMED BY JOURNEY WITH ARNEL PINEDA


Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you, with open arms

Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone

This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back

Turned night into day
I need you to stay. 

So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms
