Michael Bublé interview

Something in this interview spoke to me.

Robert Francis

Through Jason Mraz' newsletter I just discovered this new artist, Robert Francis, I'm falling in love with his voice. He's very authentic and rustic sounding. At first he reminded me of Jakob Dylan, others compare him to Bob Dylan and Neil Young. At one point Robert gave up guitar, then got some lessons from John Frusciante, nice!
Check out his MySpace and also the video below.

Song of the morning

Ooh, isn't this nice?

Lyrics & Chorus for "This Is It" by Michael Jackson

Lyrics

Verse:
This is it, here I stand
I’m the light of the world, I feel grand
Got this love I can feel
And I know yes for sure it is real

Pre-chorus:
And it feels as though I’ve seen your face a thousand times
And you said you really know me too yourself
And I know that you have got addicted with your eyes
But you say you gonna live it for yourself.

Chorus:
I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn’t my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C’mon baby, just understand

This is it, I can say,
I’m the light of the world, run away
We can feel, this is real
Every time I’m in love that I feel

And I feel as though I’ve known you since 1,000 years
And you tell me that you’ve seen my face before.
And you said to me you don’t want me hanging round
Many times, wanna do it here before

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn’t my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C’mon baby, just understand

This is it, I can feel
I’m the light of the world, this is real
Feel my song, we can say
And I tell you I feel that way

And I feel as though I’ve known you for a thousand years
And you said you want some of this yourself
And you said won’t you go with me, on a while
And I know that it’s really cool myself

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn’t my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C’mon baby, just understand

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn’t my plan
I never thought that I would be your lover
C’mon baby, just understand

New original on YouTube - That Something

Lyrics

That Something

Verse/Chorus: Am7 D
Bridge: F D

Verse:
Ooh, do I really wanna stay
Is it better where I am?
Something in me wants to fly away
Never to return again

Chorus:
I wanna do that something
That keeps me up at night
I wanna do that something
That makes me feel alright

Verse:
What exactly do you wanna do?
Where are you gonna go my friend?
I think I know what you're supposed to do
When are you coming home again?

Chorus:
I wanna do that something
That keeps me up at night
I wanna do that something
That makes me feel alright

Bridge:
It's a song that keeps you up at night
It's that dream that makes you feel like you're alive

New original on MySpace "Talk About It"

Your comments are welcome, either here or on MySpace.

(October 10th edit: The song is also on YouTube now, with small lyric changes)



Here are the chords and lyrics.

Talk About It
Verse: D Dm7 C G/ D Dm7 C A
Chorus: D G C D / F F G G


Verse:
Sometimes I can change it all
the world is at my feet
next time when I look around
there's no hope left for me

talk about a million things
but I can't do the walk
I wanna write a killer song
that's never heard before

Chorus:
All this time you're wasting now
you'll never get it back
Worry never added much
to the time that you got
well the world won't stop turning
it won't wait around
and every place you go to
trust that you'll be safe and sound

Verse:
why is it that inspiration
is sneaking out the door
and then I get that same old feeling
like I've been here before

I can't help but think too much
about what might have been
I'm tryin' hard to find a purpose
to live this life I'm in

Chorus:
All this time you're wasting now
you'll never get it back
Worry never added much
to the time that you got
well the world won't stop turning
it won't wait around
and every place you go to
trust that you'll be safe and sound

talk about a million things
but I can't do the walk
choices got me all confused
now that is food for thought
