Cat Stevens – Father and Son

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son— away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone – no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father— stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )

Aerosmith – I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing

http://www.youtube.com/v/Vo_0UXRY_rY&hl=en&fs=1&

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I’m wondering what you’re dreaming
Wondering if it’s me you’re seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we’re together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

I don’t wanna miss one smile
I don’t wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don’t wanna close my eyes
Don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
‘Cause I’d still miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

Don’t wanna close my eyes
Don’t wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don’t wanna miss a thing

Ronan Keating – When you say nothing at all

http://www.youtube.com/v/AuJrEBtmM1Q&hl=en&fs=1&

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She’s lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she’s my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

‘Cause I’ve lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there’s no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she’s my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you’re thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

Italian bloggers’ strike

Today, July 14th, some Italian bloggers will not write. They will protest against the Italian government that is issuing a series of new laws that could limit the freedom of expression online in Italy. There is a ning dedicated to the people that will protest: Diritto alla Rete.

Freedom of expression has never been strong in Italy. Our political culture and our political system are hardly those that you should find in a mature democracy. Catholic and communist parties have dominated most of the republican history, in Italy, while fascist parties have never really disappeared. Political violence and obscure maneuvering have been endemic in our strange country. Informal economy and criminal organizations have always been important and tolerated by governments.

But in the last 15 years, a new reinterpretation of the same old nondemocratic system has come out, based on the peculiar concentration of media power in the hands of one political leader. This has has not been felt fair in terms of political competition and has led to a very angry kind of debate.

In this context, the internet has been seen as the one tool to generate free and independent media that could give a fresh view to the Italian situation.

Some projects of laws have been proposed by the present government that could harm this internet freedom. And bloggers want to protest against them. Those possible laws are not clearly meant to block freedom of expression, but could end up limiting that freedom by generating uncertainty and fear in those that should be writing about what they see and think. Of course, bloggers could improve their ability to write and contribute to democracy, but what they do is important.

In a better world, they should protest by writing more and better, of course. But this time, some of them has thought that they will keep silent. Silence is not the best form of protest for people that want to talk. And new laws are still unclear. But many people feel that they should do something to help Italy maintain what it has conquered in terms of freedom of expression.

Anna Tatangelo – Qualcosa di te

http://www.youtube.com/v/XEoI9WphUnM&hl=it&fs=1&

Resto ferma qui,quasi immobile
è un momento importante per noi
è già l’alba ormai mentre accenni un ciao
i tuoi battiti aumentano un pò
Respiro e mi sento giù
mentre cerco negli occhi tuoi
il momento per dirti rimani qui
Qualcosa di te non mi basta mai
rende i miei sensi prigionieri dei tuoi
amore o no,io sono qui
pronta a liberare il sole chiuso dentro te
Tu sai vivere senza regole
forse è questo che amo di te
Sai sorridere molto più di me
anche quando non è facile
aiutami a dirti che
sei presente nei sogni miei
un momento che non può finire mai
Qualcosa di te che non dici mai
non può nascondere i bisogni che hai
agli acchi occhi miei,sei ancora tu
tenero e sincero come sempre
qualcosa di te non mi lascia mai
ogni sorriso mi ricorda di noi
amore o no,lascia che sia
un sogno che non puoi dimenticare
Certe volte poi mi perdo
tra infinite circostanze
quasi indifferente al mondo e a tutti intorno a me
una strana sensazione prende forma in un istante
chiudo gli occhi e vedo solo gli occhi tuoi
Ora sei tu,un giorno di sole
ora sei tu,un’oasi di libertà
davanti a me,fragile e vera
un fiume che si libera nel mare
QUalcosa di te non mi basta mai
rende i miei sensi schiavi dei sogni tuoi
amore amore o no ora sei qui
pronto a liberare il sole chiuso dentro me.
