ABBA: HAPPY NEW YEAR


We chose HAPPY NEW YEAR by ABBA because there are very few songs that talk about New years eve. And and used it that as our New Year greetings. New we have tought that song must be in our Songbook.


LYRICS

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

MELISSA ETHERIDGE: HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER)


We chose MERRY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER) by John Lennon, sung by MELISSA ETHERIDGE last Christmas, to promove this blog. And We decided to include it to our songbook because is a great song full of hope.



LYRICS

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas War is over
For weak and for strong If you want it
For rich and the poor ones War is over
The world is so wrong Now
And so Happy Christmas War is over
For black and for white If you want it
For yellow and red ones War is over
Let's stop all the fight Now

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas War is over
And what have we done If you want it
Another year over War is over
And a new one just begun Now
And so Happy Christmas War is over
I hope you have fun If you want it
The near and the dear one War is over
The old and the young Now

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over if you want it
War is over now


THE ORIGINAL BY JOHN LENNON

TORI AMOS: A SILENT NIGHT WITH YOU.


We Chose A SILENT NIGHT WITH YOU by TORI AMOS and her Video from MIDWINTER GRACE (2010) as a preamble in the beggining of this adventure calling Delicatessens. Today we have decided to write a text and include it into our Songbook. TORI AMOS will appear here  a lot in the future.


LYRICS

The radio plays my holiday faves
It takes me back to when our love was new
Young lovers pass me by with their glow
That used to be us not so long ago
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you

Joy to the world, your arms kept me warm
Night after night, in such a cold world
Hear the bell strike, old pictures instead
Tell me the past is filling my head
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you

A silent night with you

The radio plays my holiday faves
It takes me back to when our love was new
Lost in my daze, you slip past and say
"Girl, take my hand, see, nothing has changed
Now or then
I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you

All is calm
All is bright.

THE BEGINING.

Hello. My name is Midas.  

Today begins a new blog in English which will visit all my favorite songs. Last year I wrote another blog called "Exquisiteces" that has had some success in Spanish-speaking areas. Because I am Spanish and it is easier to write in my native language. This is a new challenge for me. I hope that this work is to your liking.

We will start on January 1, 2011
