If you were my wife and I wrote this song for you, how would you react?

You can hear the song at:





"www.nullfactor.com/media/


realm_of_understanding.mp3"





Lyrics are:





Keep you safe and warm


Keep you free from harm


Keep you through hard time





Keep me at my worst


Keep me at my best


Keep me as I am





Two melt into one


Hate and death undone





Feel the coldness of your skin


Keep me warm within


It's all beyond the realm


Of understanding





Keep you from the rain


Keep you free from pain


Keep you part of me





Keep me through dark night


Keep me wrong or right


Keep me part of you





Two melt into one


Hate and death undone





==============================





It was supposed to be a birthday present for her a few months ago, but the song didn't write itself that fast! :) I just need to run it past your ears before I play it for her.





Thanks!

Reply:i think that the fact you took the time to write a song for her would mean more than if you sounded great playing it or if the wording was perfect. its a very sweet and touching way to show your love for her and if it was me i would be moved to tears that someone would do something so special for me.
Reply:The links not working but the words are beautiful, love to hear the tune behind it.
Reply:could not hear the song, but what a romantic gesture. she surely should love it.. i would..


it is just the thought that you take all that time to do it for her that makes it full of love.


good 4 you!!
Reply:so sweet... your wife will love it....


What song has the hook, "I can give you what you want when you want it" repeated 4 times, and who is it by?

A female sings the hook, and I think maybe around 4 males rap the verses. I'm not sure if this is a group or individual artists. I cannot find this song anywhere online! Lyrics from the first verse (the only ones i know): hey girl what's your name/ come and have a seat and let me pick at your brain/ cuz at first glance damn you off the chain/ and your honey brown skin and your physical frame

What song has the hook, "I can give you what you want when you want it" repeated 4 times, and who is it by?
Maybe Ice Cream by Young Pony Club or Pony Club something like that.

Is there a hidden meaning to Britney Spears' "Touch of my Hand" song? If so, what is it?

LYRICS:





I’m not ashamed of the things that I dream


I find myself flirting with the verge of obscene


Into the unknown, I will be bold


I’m going to places I can be out of control





And I don’t want to explain tonight


All the things I’ve tried to hide


I shut myself out from the world so I


Can draw the blinds and I’ll teach myself to fly





I love myself


It’s not a sin


I can’t control what’s happenin’





‘Cause I just discovered


Imagination’s taking over


Another day without a lover


The more I come to understand


The touch of my hand





From the small of my back and the arch of my feet


Lately I’ve been noticin’ the beautiful me


I’m all in my skin and I’m not gonna wait


I’m into myself in the most precious way





And I don’t want to explain tonight


All the things I’ve tried to hide


I shut myself out from the world so I


Can draw the blinds and I’ll teach myself to fly





There’s a world undefined


In my body and mind


I won’t be left behind


I’m already here

What is this song talking about?

Is there a hidden meaning to Britney Spears' "Touch of my Hand" song? If so, what is it?
There is a hidden meaning to the song, it talks about her masturbating.


"I love myself


It’s not a sin


I can’t control what’s happenin’





‘Cause I just discovered


Imagination’s taking over


Another day without a lover


The more I come to understand


The touch of my hand"





She is in love with herself and she can't help her imagination taking over and then she begins to start masturbating because she doesn't have anyone else to have sex with.

I bet you don't know even 1% of all this first-hand information.Do you find it interesting? (10 minutes)?

Some people may like this.If not you don't have to read it.


Special thanks to my American friend who helped me proofread my writing.It's taken me almost a year to find some pieces of this information.


I believe that if you spend 5-10 minutes reading this essay, you will be better informed than if you listen to a lifetime's worth of Major Media news. Please don't assume that I'm a very old person. I'm just 18, and a university student studying English who just cannot sit back and let the lies fly unchallenged.


This article has two parts:


1. Cultural and general info


2. Political info.


If you wanna know the rest of of the story, read it from top to bottom.


Note: I've explained all the things that you ALWAYS talk about, so read it all plz! (Anytime you like!) Specially the political part! Any answers before reading the whole thing will prove to be wrong.

Hi. I'm an Iranian who has spent his life in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I am shocked to see how totally wrong their ideas are about Iran. I wrote this article in an attempt to help correct those ideas.


The first thing America, and the West in general, accuses our government of is that we don't allow personal freedoms. Actually, Iranians disobey laws they don't like as much as anyone. But come on, there are only a few restrictions.It's so cool over here. People here do whatever they wish to! Many strict rules in other countries don't even exist in Iran. Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, may be a nightmare for us and vise versa. That's why you don't understand a few of Iran's laws because some of them are based on our culture. You look at our country from "your own point of view"! In Iran every single house has a sattelite dish. Sattelite television has a serious influence on our people, and Iranians wear very fashionable clothing. Maybe it is a kind of imitation, but we still have our own unique Iranian style (I'm talking about public places, in our privacy there's no difference). A visitor might wonder if this is a country or a fantasy pageant of beauty queens! Almost women wear half their their hair out, and make-up and fashionable clothing are everywhere.(I ignore a few fuddy-duddies though!) Iran is one of the super-consumers of cosmetics. You would be surprised to see the difference between what you imagine and what Iran really is!


In my view, everything is great, if you ignore unemployment, inflation and air pollution. But I guess these are common problems around the world today, aren't they? Also, you can't compare Iran today with the Iran you remember. The Shah and the Iatollah Khomini are both some 30 years in the past!Nearly 65-70% of Iran's population is a new generation without the biases of the past (The youth), and we've transformed everything.





Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran. But in my view, women are overrunning the place. But that's not a bad thing. They're very respectful, and they've been the winners in so many cases: They get into the best universities because they're very smart. And they get the best jobs because they can do so many of them better than men. (That's why men can hardly find any good jobs because most jobs are already occupied by women!) They've got Islamic rights, and that has in some cases made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands are supposed to buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women have the right to ask a great amount of money (called Mehr) according to the law, which most husbands cannot afford, so they (men) will be imprisoned.The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into public football stadiums and that's because such places are full of cheeky guys. They do anything from taking part in rallies to singing pop songs.Anything! I've put a sample here. I feel foolish for sitting here explaining ordinary things to you.





Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery. Have you ever asked yourselves how many years ago that footage related to? Are they balck and white or colourful? But in one case (related to many years ago) something terrible had happened which was just beyond the borders of adultery.We think being punished for corruption is good, as it deters people from doing that and the society will be far healthier than the countries in which commiting such things is considered to be normal! Iranians expect their gov't not to be soft on criminals.And for your information, most of those footages are from Afghanistan which was ruled by freaks (Taliban). What exactly makes you think women are treated differently?The way they were/are treated in Saudi Arabi? I'm sorry I didn't know "over a billion Moslems" lived there!When you think of such things, try to think of the racism in your country too. There's no perfect country!


I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are --------- SEPERATE COUNTRIES! --------- Even within Iran, 60% of us are Persian and 30% are Turkish! I find it even more difficult to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other in the world. The point is, there's nothing mysterious about us! The Media are very good at creating really scary stuff: "IRAN BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!!" "IRAN UNDERCOVER!!!" Some of that garbage would be enough to scare ME away! But in truth, Iranians are far more open-minded than you have been led to believe.


There are lots of Iranians today who are geniuses and scientists, and are all under age 25. You don't hear about their discoveries and inventions on TV. For instance a 17 year old boy has invented 72 amazing inventions and there are many kids like that. Every year a special scientific compition (Kharazmi) is held here and students assemble to show off hundreds of inventions. Iranian students and sportsmen win gold and silver medals in different competitions in the world all the time, in robotics, biology, maths, physics, sports, anything! Why don't the Media talk about them? Please don't summarize our nation and culture with the single word "nuclear". Although we're proud of this achievement because we believe that having nuclear energy means that a country is developed.Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world are in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran








A few months ago Iran uncovered the most effective anti-H.I.V medicine and it was signing treaties with other countries to export it. I searched for news of that on the internet, but there was no single sign of it. What did I find instead? "President Bush CLAIMS that bomb parts are imported from Iran into Iraq!" (The same old story!) The Media are unjust. They put CLAIMS on the headlines, but they never talk about facts!


Some interesting facts:


Iran is a pioneer in medicine and genetics, and Iranian surgeons have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects, and many diseases (mainly the treatment for different types of cancer) and the best brain and heart surgeons are Iranian. The head of the Mars Mission in NASA is Iranian. One of the best designers of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian. Some of the best 3D animators are Iranian. Iran is one of the best countries in counter-engineering. Holds the second place in building dams and in loads of other things! It's one of the top countries in bio-technology and nano-technology. The 4th highest tower in the world (Milad tower) is in Tehran (visit it at this link from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Milad... ). 51 of the top 100 universities in the Mid-East are in Iran, and they're among the top universities of the world as well. The champion weight-lifter, a woman, and a song by one of the pop singers who/which won the nobel peace prize are Iranians. Lots of Iranians win nobel prizes specially in the field of medicine. Iranian girls are famous for being terrific. We have Persian rugs and Persian literature, many Persian poets, artists and scientists that are world famous. Iranian culture is now westernized and only a little of the ancient culture has survived. According to statistics Tehran is the cheapest capital city in the world (one Dollar =about 950 Tomans! For example you can buy windows vista for 1 Dollar here instead of 700 Dollars!!! or 3 supper pizzas for 10 Dollars!!!wow!) There are many other things. How many pages would you need to describe a country? Iran has nearly all the industries and technologies found in 'developed' countries. Oh, and we have four seasons! (Some people think it never snows here! We get a lot of snow and there are skating rinks! lol) The list is endless.(I still feel foolish for talkng about ordinary things!)





News: "Iranian scientists managed to make human teeth grow after you've lost them using basic cells" I'm gonna introduce Iran's international news website to you (Press TV) which was established recently. It's fully in English. You'll find what they're hiding from you! In the "Sic / Tech" section you'll always see Iran's discoveries. The address is: http://www.presstv.ir/news.aspx... Press TV news: Iranian scientists have registered more than 4800 inventions during the last Iranian calendar year of 1385 (April 21 2006-April 20, 2007). 4800 inventions in just one year!





Some charactristics of Iranians would be:


Negative: We are proud, greedy, hard-working (for ourselves), not punctual, impatient, and lazy at doing our duty well, crazy about luxuries and thus extravagant! Highly competitive!


Positive: intelligent, ambitious, a bit idealistic, well-dressed, formal, well-educated, warm and friendly, hospitable.





Some people think Iran is a desert! Well, it is, if you consider California, New Mexico, Utah, Arkansas, and Alabama a desert. We share the same latitude. Iran is a modern country with breathtakingly beautiful nature and lots of historic places to visit. Please take a look at the following links to see if Iran looks like what you think or not! This is a photo of Tehran (Awesome, Isn't it?): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...

Some people think music is forbidden in Iran. Did you know that Iranian music was chosen as the best pop in France in 2005? It could even defeat Euro-pop! All Iranian songs are current pop / DJ music. I send Iranian music to my American and Canadian chat friends and they all say they're some of the best songs they've ever heard. What makes Iranian music killer, is a lot of Trance drums, catchy tune, uprising melody and incredible lyrics!

And so on and on!





It's now 2007 and most people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels and carrying around guns! See how the media are fooling people?


Let's clarify some political issues as well: Some of the Americans I chatted with said in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! The Media are good at putting lying comments out there. It's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the TV screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....I really don't get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about things that have got nothing to do with us. For example does verbal defence of Palestinians cause them to have a better life? The thing is that they occasionally make some statements that the media would misuse it against Iran. For example they pick up some specific phrases of a long speech (without refering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and put so many bad comments on that. No sane person would take such nonsense at face value.





First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone. If our government complains about some injustice going on in the world, it's not bad, is it? (Although what we want from them is to shut up and not get us into trouble by talking about things that are none of our concern) We hate neither Jews nor Americans. I love Americans, otherwise why would I talk to them?! How would our guys dream of America, want to be like them as much as possible, and hate them at the same time?! I've got to say that for Iran, Israel is not equal with Jews! Israel is a gov't. Jews are faithful people! A few of them live here in our neighbourhood and they live just like the rest of Iranians. No difference. And two of Iran's parliment members are Jews. Who says we want to force others to convert to Islam? Have you ever found a Muslim knocking at your door asking you to do so? It's so funny the way you imagine things and make yourselves believe in your own immaginations!


Christians and Jews are both God-believers and respectful to us. I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred. In Iran, religion is one of the least important factors. Where you come from and what your religion is are not important to us at all. On the contrary, meeting different people would be very interesting for us!





I wonder who Iran is really a threat to. Is it logical to say someone's guilty because we THINK / PREDICT that he's going to do something wrong? And they repeat the same "nuclear weapons" tosh over and over and brainwash people! News headlines: "We won't allow Iran to gain nuclear weapons"!!! Correction! It's "nuclear energy". Besides, how many "nuclear weapons" do they have themselves? Hundreds of thousands? Has Iran ever attacked any countries? No. Has it developed any nukes? No! That's what nuclear agency says. Only Iran's opponents are pulling Iran's leg and what they say is of no credit. It's just based on political conflicts. What we're doing is legal. What they ask us to do (ignoring our international rights) is illegal. Iran is a peaceful country. Why? It's the regional super-power and if she wanted, she could easily invade the countries in our neibourhood just like what Saddam did to our country, but as you see Iran has peaceful relations with all of them. It can set an example to some countries that just follow their interests (oil!). Interesting! the countries accusing Iran of different things have been, and are still accused of the same things!!! How logical!





Some people say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his speech and that why he's said this at all? You know that it's a passive sentence. He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! He wasn't talking about destroying Israel. He was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could live seperate from Palestinians and they could both live in peace. They've only told you this phrase not the whole thing and it's mistranslated intentionally. Iran has always defended itself, but it's not an offensive country.





Some say he's said: "The Holocaust is a myth!" Again, this is a single phrase taken from a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so. If 6,000,000 Jews were killed, that's terrible, but 300,000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren't important at all? Over 650,000 Iraqi people are killed and that's not important?! When Fox News simply says that America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing Iran's population of 69,000,000 within two weeks, it's OK and no one says they're threatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News website) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima %26amp; Nagasaki and the Vietnam war are not considered human beings at all! Now I think you'd get the point why he's IRONICALLY said it's a myth. Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind? I'd judge people by their ACTIONS rather than by what they say / their religion / race / culture and the colour of their skin!





Obviously, some countries are using Iran as a scapegoat to put the blame (for their own faults) on. And what country is better than Iran to be a scapegoat? The whole world believes that Iran isn't a peaceful country. I know Americans don't like this either, but what can they do? They're not responsible for controlling what the Media says. This part is just for Americans who would still argue over unimportant things: Those of you who say why Iran says "Death to America":


1. 'America' to us means the U.S govt, not the people. How do you expect Iranians to mean "American people" when our media admires Americans for marching and holding up "no war" placards?!


2. The new generation don't say such things and if some of them occasionally march in the streets that's because some of the stupid guys enjoy making noise and they mainly go out there to meet their girlfriends/boyfriends! Strange. Isn't it?


3. Such mottos are not just said in Iran and as you know whatever you hear is a response to the U.S govt's terrible actions which has made life for many people hell (You wouldn't deny that attacking countries is a mistake. right?)


4. The U.S gov't helped Saddam attack Iran and I hope you know which country gave Iraq biological weapons which killed lots of Iranians.


5. America hit an Iranian airplane over the Persian Gulf and killed 200 passengers for no reason.


8. America places sanctions on Iran, promotes a false image of Iran and Iranians, scares tourists away, and harms our economy, development and credit. To what purpose?





When you call Ahmadinejad a nutcase for what he's said, what do you call Bush for his actions? I mean it's a good idea to consider what Bush is doing to the world with his wrong decisions and lies. Bush is powerful and influencial, but Ahmadinejad is nothing.


To those who are upset with American hostages taken for 444 days:


1. Firstly, It's related to so many years ago and it's almost a part of history, and don't forget that when there's a revolution, there'd be chaos and people may do things that they should not, moreover they're all alive and healthy. Aren't they?


2.The U.S has arrested Iranian diplomats in Iraq and had tortured the one who was freed. Poor British sailors were detained by the English gov't just for saying that they were treated well in Iran and that Iranians were logical people (They said these when they were on England's soil!) They were PREVENTED from releasing their memoirs by England! Now you decide who has the right to be upset with whom. How do you believe in their lies about politics when they hide both the most and the least important things from you considering the fact that politics is the world of lies in its nature?!!! Considering all this, you'd probably be able to GUESS what percentage of what they tell you about the Mid-East, Islam, Moslems and other things is true!!! lol Some answerers still confuse Iraq and Iran after reading all this! You are in Iraq not in Iran! They're separate countries!





Isn't it better for both countries to forget past conflicts and to have peaceful relations? Our two gov'ts are like 10 year old children playing a stupid, harsh, rhetorical game. They don't care about hurting people's feelings. They just try to make our two peoples enemies to achieve their own goals. We, as the people of these countries, MUST NOT allow these conflics into our hearts. You know something? All govt's are hateful. I just said the above things because it sounds unfair when some Americans talk about the taking of the 444 hostages while I keep silence. I hope you agree on this one! Now, what do you think? I can't wait to see both nations in peace. It'd be marvelous! They've started to have diplomatic talks! (Naughty children!) That's great!


Thanks for your time

I bet you don't know even 1% of all this first-hand information.Do you find it interesting? (10 minutes)?
Well, you put a lot of time into that essay!





Thanks for posting that, its kinda nice to see what IS going on in Iran.





But, I am the same way with you though...I don't hate Iranians, I just don't like your leader.





I saw him screaming that he was going to wipe Israel off the face of the map...





He is enriching uranium...it could be used for energy, or it could be used for a bomb...





The US has intercepted intelligence that say that Russia has been giving nuclear secrets to Iran.





We have also seen satellite photos of Russian guards in chemical suits transporting WMD's out of Iraq and into Iran before we invaded...this information is true...the only reason why we don't say anything is so we can keep Russia on our good side.





I have also heard that a lot of your youth in Iran don't like the president of Iran.





But, again, thank you for your report, it is nice to see what is going on over there. I am glad that you wrote this.
Reply:We started pro-American secret propaganda in your country, and now you are doing it with ours....


I'm all for that! I love the Iranian people, but I do NOT like your government, specifically Mahmoud, and Ayatollah Khomanei. They are bringing you to destruction and financing the insurgent conflict in Iraq which kills our brave soldiers. Also, they are tearing down some of your rights, but I'm pleased to see you revolting a bit.





And how do I know this is propaganda, you have posted this numerous times.......
Reply:LIve and let live.... it would be marvelous to see both our nations in peace.
Reply:Oh Please!!! Iran has been known to be terroristic since at least the 70's. I know that Prince Malek escaped to here and lived from being a royal prince to living without any money ; and still prefered here!!!!!! Keep yourself in Iran with you idiot leader- he is short and evil. Someone needs to rid him!!!!!!!
Reply:I was going to read this, but I figured I'd still get the 2 points regardless.





However, I feel the need to say something. So, here goes:





There there...there there...
Reply:What do I think? BORING!!! I think that you needed to vent your frustrations, show us how intellectually intellegent your think you are. I think you should eventually become a RADIO talk show host.





After skimming through your ESSAY, these are the conclusions I came to.





My answer is not wrong, or right. It is just my opinion.





By the way, you left out that Iran wants to wipe ISRAEL off the map. Ha, it will never happen.
Reply:wow, interesting stuff, you really did your homework.


What is the song at the beginning of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2007?!?

It's right before the actual show starts, when they're introducing everyone, and showing the behind the scenes leading up to the opening of the show.The song I'm talking about it kind of dance-ish, and from what I could gather, it hads lyrics like "work it, i'm worth it, perfect" and then something along the lines of "the hair, the skin, the waist". I can't find it anywhere!

Lupe Fiasco- Failure? Is this one of ths sickest hip hop songs?

Listen to the lyrics Jesus Christ (PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND UNLESS YOU CLICK ON THE LINK AND LISTEN TO THE SONG, OR HAVE HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE). I don't listen to rap much at all, but this is that type of fire what burns the disintegrates the skin by the heat of the fire without the actual substance of fire touching you.

My take on the race issue, once and for all?

I just answered a question on race asked earlier, and came up with my best "answer" in weeks I think. Wondered what people thought of the following reply to the daily "Why won't ____ accept that us _____ are equals?"





Please don't generalize so much, that's what keeps this crap going on for generation after generation.





Everyone has biases, some are just more selective than others. Example: I was raised to be race neutral, skin pigment and minor facial differences don't enter into my snap judgements of people. HOWEVER the minute I hear someone speak, I lump them into a category, usually not a flattering one.





I don't give a fig about race, but 90% of everyone I meet needs speech therapy if they're to ever get my respect.





"Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?


This verbal class distinction by now should be antique.


If you spoke as she does, sir, Instead of the way you do,


Why, you might be selling flowers, too.

My take on the race issue, once and for all?
I agree. However we will never have perfect race relations nor will we ever have a time when GBLT persons are looked at as fully equal to our heterosexual counter parts. We will always have ethical, moral, cultural and religious issues with each other. This is sad but true.
Reply:You cant contain bigotry.. it's a human rampant defect.
Reply:As long as the blacks can deliver a major portion of the black vote, they will continue to be courted by the socialist/Dems in state and federal governments.


As long as the blacks are given just about anting they want, they will vote accordingly. The Dems promise them, and the black racist hustlers like Revvums Sharpton and Jackson, promise to make it even better, the black vote will be there.


The only thing they have ion common is the hatred of anything and anybody white. See the following excerpt:





Foot in his mouth and no clue in his head


Gregory Kane





April 11, 2007











You see Don, black folks have this expression: "If you don't know, you'd better ask somebody." The white guy in the example above didn't know. And in your comments about the Rutgers women, you sure as heck didn't know. And your crawling to Sharpton to explain yourself on his show indicates you still don't know.





Here's a flash, Don: Black folks have never elected Sharpton to anything. You don't owe him any more explanations or apologies than you do to any other black folks in the United States. It would have made better sense for you to make amends to the Congressional Black Caucus. They're not worth a tinker's dam, but at least they've been elected to something.





There's a wealth of information you could have used against Sharpton on his show. You could have opened by pointing out that no one has ever accused Sharpton, on his better days, of being Mr. Racial Harmony. You could have pointed out that Les Payne, a black columnist for Newsday in Sharpton's own hometown of New York, opined that Sharpton "is as immune to irony as he is to shame" and that the good revvum is "a noisy answer for which there is no known question."





Then you could have asked Sharpton about those allegations that first appeared in the Village Voice - which is about as far from a right-wing, Republican rag as a paper can get - accusing him of allowing his 2004 presidential campaign to be run by a Republican operative in exchange for dollars. You wouldn't have even had to bring up that nasty Tawana Brawley business.





After that, you could have focused on Jackson. More than two decades ago, Jackson had to do some apologizing of his own, at the Democratic National Convention. Jackson went before his fellow Democrats (Jackson is one of a laundry list of reasons I switched my party affiliation to Republican) and said how sorry he was for calling Jews "Hymies" and referring to New York as "Hymietown."





So what Jackson is saying is that he can utter an ethnic slur and should be forgiven when he apologizes. But when Don Imus makes an offensive racial remark and apologizes, the apology doesn't count. Imus should be fired.





Detecting a little bit of hypocrisy and a double standard there, aren't you, Don? Jackson and Sharpton call themselves Christian ministers. Aren't Christian ministers supposed to be about forgiveness? Shouldn't Jackson and Sharpton be the ones eager to accept your apology, say all is forgiven and move on?





Flesh-eating zombies will crawl out of their graves and walk the earth before any of that happens. But I suspect you already know that, Don. And you know there is a fundamental difference between your "nappy-headed hos" crack and Jackson's "Hymie/Hymietown" remarks.





Jackson made his remarks off the record, in an attempt to hide his bigotry. You were doing what you're being paid to do: say controversial and stupid things for ratings. That's what your bosses pay you to do. I hope the hot seat you're sitting on is a big one, Don.





Because it looks like you may be getting some company.
Reply:I like your stand. It's based on some reason rather than blind emotion - like some of the imbeciles who can't even think coherently.

Beyonce VS Shakira again. Do you want to end this?

I am tired of people comparing Beyonce to Shakira. Seriously Shakira needs to look up to Beyonce. She isnt better than her. People stop saying Beyonce is copying Shakira when infact Shakira is copying Beyonce. Beyonce has better songs, Dance moves, voice, lyrics, personality, face %26amp; body.


Shakira looks like a boring old woman. She needs to take a shower, brush her hair and get rid of the chubby cheeks. She has no lips and awful skin. Her body is awful. She has Wide hips, fat stomach, no boobs and a flat A$$*. Shakira's face is awful, dont believe me, check it out yourself. Anybody who call Beyonce ugly is either jealous or blind. You cannot call her ugly. Who do you think looks better?

Beyonce shitts all over Shakira.

Beyonce VS Shakira again. Do you want to end this?
I am tired of people comparing the 2 also cause Beyonce doesn't even compare to Shakira! Shakira is a better singer, dancer, has better songs and is a whole lot sexier! Beyonce's music hasn't been good since she went solo!
Reply:You call Shakira an "animal"...Please enlighten me as the reason for this. You also call her a "racist" and your last comment was she needs to stop singing all the stupid Spanish songs...That is her heritage...You are the racist.Shakira's misic is more original and she is HOT!! Report It

Reply:Looking at the pictures, Shakira looks better without makeup than Beyonce. They are 2 different artist, although I prefer Shaki over B. You have to understand Shaki is original and unique in her own way. B-hmm. She has refurbished song after song. Listen to them both carefully. Report It

Reply:Beyonce is trying 2 hard. I used 2 love her songs but now its like crap n her videos r slutty now. Not becuase Im jealous but because she's changed since she left Destinys Child. Shakira is better n has more class. Shes a spanish singer but those r her moves n she dances better than Beyonce Report It

Reply:Beyonce is so much better! She's gorgouse! (Sorry about the spelling!) She's so natural. She doesn't have to go around shaking her hips to get attention. All she has to do is smile and sing her heart out! Beyonce has a melodious (again, sorry about the spelling!) voice, while Shakira sounds like a wailing cow/whale! Go Beyonce! I totally agree with you!
Reply:Beyonce baby. Shakira needs to do something about that hair. It's too much. Beyonce hands down.
Reply:beyonce is a singer . Shakira is a bell dancer.enough said.
Reply:Shakira, why compare? To each his own. I think both women are beautiful but my choice is Shakira. She is exotic!
Reply:SHAKIRA!!!, hello her hips don't lie. shakira is IRREPLACEABLE.
Reply:ur wrong beyonce is nothing compared to shakira.just remember what was the #1 song of 06 it was Hips Don't Lie by shakira.Shakira was also the number one singer of 06 and is competing for 07.
Reply:Beyonce is 1,000 times prettier!


I hated SHakira from day one, I hate her guts!


SHe's such an animal and she is racist, and your right, she is very fat!


Shakira is copyine Beyonce, SHakira needs to get a life and stop singing those stupid spanish songs.


Need help with an eddie vedder song...?

the lyrics of the second verse:


I will come to you in the nightime


I will climb into your bed


I will kiss you in 155 places


As I go swimming around in your hair


I will squeeze the life right out of you


I will make you laugh and make you cry


And we may never forget it


As I make you call my name as you shout it to the blue summer sky


And we may never meet again


So shed your skin let's get started


And you will throw your arms around me

What's the song in Extra chewing gum commercial ,the one plays in Australia?

I've seen at least two different versions of the commercial playing in Australia now.I'm referring to the one where a tanned-skin ,short-haired girl walking around with animated characters like doughnut and take -away coffee cup following her.If I remember it right,the song goes like this,"I'm ready......." and the chorus sounds something like "winter follows, summer follows....... I tried to put in some of the lyrics and google it but to no avail,it just stucks in my head and it won't go away. Can someone make out who this is by?


Thx in advance!

What's the song in Extra chewing gum commercial ,the one plays in Australia?
The song in the version with the girl walking around was actually made specifically for the ad, sadly it's not commercially available (sobs)





I actually sent an e-mail to Wrigley's Extra asking as I really liked the song and couldn't get it out of my head. A lady from consumer affairs wrote back to me letting me know the above.





Devastated!
Reply:wat about with the man and the food is following him? i like that song too


any info?


What does it mean?

What does the song It Happens by Hopesfall mean? Does it have some deep meaning or just basically a random collection of words?





Here are the lyrics:





The bodies collide to the beat


The spilt wine takes us to new heights


She said I was her captain, out of town swinger


For a night we parade the conquest for the careless


I am motionless and coma


Ready for this


Watch the blood she makes it shine


Flows to the head, I remember the first time


A tall tale told heroically


She's got the best of what I'm waiting for


We feel the distance


The sleep await to be the call to action


Or the intervention of something out of this world


We don't live to last forever


We feel no second chance


There's just a primal need to release and never let in anything but the skin


From here to the moon she tries to take me to the starbeams in her eyes


And from here to the moon she tells me I'm good for patient eyes

What does it mean?
The only one one who can really explain the song is the songwriter. It may be based on his feelings, perceptions or some creative idea he came up with. To the listener, it may seem random, but sometimes there's a meaning behind it too.





I think it's about a guy who realizes that he %26amp; this girl should seize the day. Being with the girl wakes him from stupor. He's saying he is ready. For commitment? For whatever? I don't know.





They choose to go all out %26amp; be carefree (or careless? hmmm) because they "don't live to last forever" %26amp; "feel no second chance".
Reply:being in the entertainment industry, I can tell you that many artists are like poets, which is really what they are. The write and you take from it what you take from it. The fact that you are so curious about it just makes them more satisfied with their work.
Reply:I think it's about two people cheating with each other.
Reply:its about an man who is in love with someone. Hes actually describing them making love through metaphors and allusion...typical writing tools for a writer to use. Im a writer so i can easily tell you this about someone in love with someone else.


This may be the most gorgeous love song ever written. Have you heard it?

It's by The decemberists. It's called 'Red Right Ankle" Here are the lyrics. Tell me what you think.


This is the story of your red right ankle


And how it came to meet your leg


And how the muscle bone and sinews tangled


And how the skin was softly shed


And how it whispered,


"Oh, adhere to me for we are bound by symmetry


And whatever differences our lives have been


We together make a limb"


This is the story of your red right ankle


This is the story of your gypsy uncle


You never knew cause he was dead


And how his face was carved an ripped with wrinkles


In the picture in your head


And remember how you found the key


To his hide-out in the Pyrenees,


But you wanted to keep his secret safe,


So you threw the key away?


This is the story of your gypsy uncle


This is the story of the boys who loved you


Who love you now and loved you then


And some were sweet and some were cold and snuffed you


And some just layed around in bed

This may be the most gorgeous love song ever written. Have you heard it?
it sounds pretty! I'll hafta listen to it!

Searching for a song I heard on the radio.?

I have been searching for a song but couldn't find it in on any of the searches I ran for the lyrics. It starts with a solo piano piece, a symphony of sorts and then a female proceeds to sing the following, "into your heart and under your skin, but you won't let me in". That's all I can remember. Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you find this interesting (I'm talking about the facts)?

Special thanks to my American friend who helped me proofread my writing.It's taken me almost a year to find some pieces of this information.


I believe that if you spend 5-10 minutes reading this essay, you will be better informed than if you listen to a lifetime's worth of Major Media news. Please don't assume that I'm a very old person. I'm just 18, and a university student studying English who just cannot sit back and let the lies fly unchallenged.


This article has two parts:


1. Cultural and general info


2. Political info.

Hi. I'm an Iranian who has spent his life in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I am shocked to see how totally wrong their ideas are about Iran. I wrote this article in an attempt to help correct those ideas.


The first thing America, and the West in general, accuses our government of is that we don't allow personal freedoms. Actually, Iranians disobey laws they don't like as much as anyone. Many strict rules in other countries don't even exist in Iran. Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, may be a nightmare for us and vise versa. That's why you don't understand a few of Iran's laws.In Iran every single house has a sattelite dish. Sattelite television has a serious influence on our people, and Iranians wear very fashionable clothing. Maybe it is a kind of imitation, but we still have our own unique Iranian style. A visitor might wonder if this is a country or a fantasy pageant of beauty queens! Almost half of women wear their hair out, and make-up and fashionable clothing are everywhere. Iran is one of the super-consumers of cosmetics. You would be surprised to see the difference between what you imagine and what Iran really is!


In my view, everything is great, if you ignore unemployment, inflation and air pollution. But I guess these are common problems around the world today, aren't they? Also, you can't compare Iran today with the Iran you remember. The Shah and the Iatollah Khomini are both some 30 years in the past!Nearly 65-70% of Iran's population is a new generation without the biases of the past (The youth), and we've transformed everything.





Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran. But in my view, women are overrunning the place. But that's not a bad thing. They're very respectful, and they've been the winners in so many cases: They get into the best universities because they're very smart. And they get the best jobs because they can do so many of them better than men. (That's why men can hardly find any good jobs because most jobs are already occupied by women!) They've got Islamic rights, and that has in some cases made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands are supposed to buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women have the right to ask a great amount of money (called Mehr) according to the law, which most husbands cannot afford, so they (men) will be imprisoned.The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into public football stadiums and that's because such places are full of cheeky guys. They do anything from taking part in rallies to singing pop songs.Anything! I've put a sample here. I feel foolish for sitting here explaining ordinary things to you.





Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery. Have you ever asked yourselves how many years ago that footage related to? Are they balck and white or colourful? But in one case (related to many years ago) something terrible had happened which was just beyond the borders of adultery.We think being punished for corruption is good, as it deters people from doing that and the society will be far healthier than the countries in which commiting such things is considered to be normal! Iranians expect their gov't not to be soft on criminals.And for your information, most of those footages are from Afghanistan which was ruled by freaks (Taliban). When you think of such things, try to think of the racism in your country too. There's no perfect country!


I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are --------- SEPERATE COUNTRIES! --------- Even within Iran, 60% of us are Persian and 30% are Turkish! I find it even more difficult to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other in the world. The point is, there's nothing mysterious about us! The Media are very good at creating really scary stuff: "IRAN BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!!" "IRAN UNDERCOVER!!!" Some of that garbage would be enough to scare ME away! But in truth, Iranians are far more open-minded than you have been led to believe.


There are lots of Iranians today who are geniuses and scientists, and are all under age 25. You don't hear about their discoveries and inventions on TV. For instance a 17 year old boy has invented 72 amazing inventions and there are many KIDS like that. Iranian students and sportsmen win gold and silver medals in different competitions in the world all the time, in robotics, biology, maths, physics, sports, anything! Why don't the Media talk about them? Please don't summarize our nation and culture with the single word "nuclear". Although we're proud of this achievement because we believe that having nuclear energy means that a country is developed.Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world are in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran








A few months ago Iran uncovered the most effective anti-H.I.V medicine and it was signing treaties with other countries to export it. I searched for news of that on the internet, but there was no single sign of it. What did I find instead? "President Bush CLAIMS that bomb parts are imported from Iran into Iraq!" (The same old story!) The Media are unjust. They put CLAIMS on the headlines, but they never talk about facts!


Some interesting facts:


Iran is a pioneer in medicine and genetics, and Iranian surgeons have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects, and many diseases (mainly the treatment for different types of cancer) and the best brain and heart surgeons are Iranian. The head of the Mars Mission in NASA is Iranian. One of the best designers of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian. Some of the best 3D animators are Iranian. Iran is one of the best countries in counter-engineering. Holds the second place in building dams and in loads of other things! It's one of the top countries in bio-technology and nano-technology. The 4th highest tower in the world (Milad tower) is in Tehran (visit it at this link from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Milad... ). 51 of the top 100 universities in the Mid-East are in Iran, and they're among the top universities of the world as well. The champion weight-lifter, a woman, and a song by one of the pop singers who/which won the nobel peace prize are Iranians. Lots of Iranians win nobel prizes specially in the field of medicine. Iranian girls are famous for being terrific. We have Persian rugs and Persian literature, many Persian poets and scientists that are very famous. Iranian culture is now westernized and only a little of the ancient culture has survived. According to statistics Tehran is the cheapest capital city in the world (for foriegners of course, not for us! Our rate is different: one Dollar =about 950 Tomans!) There are many other things. How many pages would you need to describe a country? Iran is an independant country unlike its neighbours. It has nearly all the industries and technologies found in 'developed' countries. The list is endless.





News: "Iranian scientists managed to make human teeth grow after you've lost them using basic cells" I'm gonna introduce Iran's international news website to you (Press TV) which was established recently. It's fully in English. You'll find what they're hiding from you! In the "Sic / Tech" section you'll always see Iran's discoveries. The address is: http://www.presstv.ir/news.aspx... Press TV news: Iranian scientists have registered more than 4800 inventions during the last Iranian calendar year of 1385 (April 21 2006-April 20, 2007). 4800 inventions in just one year!





Some charactristics of Iranians would be: intelligent, ambitious, a bit idealistic, well-dressed, formal, well-educated, warm and friendly, hospitable, and not so religious. We are also proud, greedy, hard-working (for ourselves), not punctual, impatient, and lazy at doing our duty well.





Some people think Iran is a desert! Well, it is, if you consider California, New Mexico, Utah, Arkansas, and Alabama a desert. We share the same latitude. Iran is a modern country with breathtakingly beautiful nature and lots of historic places to visit. Please take a look at the following links to see if Iran looks like what you think or not! This is a photo of Tehran (Awesome, Isn't it?): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...

Some people think music is forbidden in Iran. Did you know that Iranian music was chosen as the best pop in France in 2005? I guess not. All Iranian songs are current pop / DJ music. I send them to my American and Canadian chat friends and they all say they're some of the best songs they've ever heard. What makes Iranian music killer, is a lot of Trance drums, incredible melody and lyrics!





Here's a sample of the latest hits from two official Iranian music websites. (So catchy, Right?)You can just right click on the links below and choose "Save Target As" to download them. The translation of the songs is here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

And so on and on!





It's now 2007 and most people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels and carrying around guns! See how the media are fooling people?


Let's clarify some political issues as well: Some of the Americans I chatted with said in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! The Media are good at putting lying comments out there. It's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the TV screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....I really don't get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about things that have got nothing to do with us. For example does verbal defence of Palestinians cause them to have a better life? The thing is that they occasionally make some statements that the media would misuse it against Iran. For example they pick up some specific phrases of a long speech (without refering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and put so many bad comments on that. No sane person would take such nonsense at face value.





First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone. If our government complains about some injustice going on in the world, it's not bad, is it? (Although what we want from them is to shut up and not get us into trouble by talking about things that are none of our concern) We hate neither Jews nor Americans. I love Americans, otherwise why would I talk to them?! How would our guys dream of America, want to be like them as much as possible, and hate them at the same time?! I've got to say that for Iran, Israel is not equal with Jews! Israel is a gov't. Jews are faithful people! A few of them live here in our neighbourhood and they live just like the rest of Iranians. No difference. And two of Iran's parliment members are Jews. Who says we want to force others to convert to Islam? Have you ever found a Muslim knocking at your door asking you to do so? It's so funny the way you imagine things and make yourselves believe in your own immaginations!


Christians and Jews are both God-believers and respectful to us. I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred. In Iran, religion is one of the least important factors. Where you come from and what your religion is are not important to us at all. On the contrary, meeting different people would be very interesting for us!





I wonder who Iran is really a threat to. Is it logical to say someone's guilty because we THINK / PREDICT that he's going to do something wrong? And they repeat the same "nuclear weapons" tosh over and over and brainwash people! News headlines: "We won't allow Iran to gain nuclear weapons"!!! Correction! It's "nuclear energy". Besides, how many "nuclear weapons" do they have themselves? Hundreds of thousands? Has Iran ever attacked any countries? No. Has it developed any nukes? No! That's what nuclear agency says. Only Iran's opponents are pulling Iran's leg and what they say is of no credit. It's just based on political conflicts. What we're doing is legal. What they ask us to do (ignoring our international rights) is illegal. Iran is a peaceful country. Why? It's the regional super-power and if she wanted, she could easily invade the countries in our neibourhood just like what Saddam did to our country, but as you see Iran has peaceful relations with all of them. It can set an example to some countries that just follow their interests (oil!). Interesting! the countries accusing Iran of different things have been, and are still accused of the same things!!! How logical!





Some people say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his speech and that why he's said this at all? You know that it's a passive sentence. He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! He wasn't talking about destroying Israel. He was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could live seperate from Palestinians and they could both live in peace. They've only told you this phrase not the whole thing and it's mistranslated intentionally. Iran has always defended itself, but it's not an offensive country.





Some say he's said: "The Holocaust is a myth!" Again, this is a single phrase taken from a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so. If 6,000,000 Jews were killed, that's terrible, but 300,000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren't important at all? Over 650,000 Iraqi people are killed and that's not important?! When Fox News simply says that America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing Iran's population of 69,000,000 within two weeks, it's OK and no one says they're threatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News website) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima %26amp; Nagasaki and the Vietnam war are not considered human beings at all! Now I think you'd get the point why he's IRONICALLY said it's a myth. Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind? I'd judge people by their ACTIONS rather than by what they say / their religion / race / culture and the colour of their skin!





Obviously, some countries are using Iran as a scapegoat to put the blame (for their own faults) on. And what country is better than Iran to be a scapegoat? The whole world believes that Iran isn't a peaceful country. I know Americans don't like this either, but what can they do? They're not responsible for controlling what the Media says. This part is just for Americans who would still argue over unimportant things: Those of you who say why Iran says "Death to America":


1. 'America' to us means the U.S govt, not the people. How do you expect Iranians to mean "American people" when our media admires Americans for marching and holding up "no war" placards?!


2. The new generation don't say such things and if some of them occasionally march in the streets that's because some of the stupid guys enjoy making noise and they mainly go out there to meet their girlfriends/boyfriends! Strange. Isn't it?


3. Such mottos are not just said in Iran and as you know whatever you hear is a response to the U.S govt's terrible actions which has made life for many people hell (You wouldn't deny that attacking countries is a mistake. right?)


5. The U.S gov't helped Saddam attack Iran and I hope you know which country gave Iraq biological weapons which killed lots of Iranians.


6. America hit an Iranian airplane over the Persian Gulf and killed 200 passengers for no reason.


7. America places sanctions on Iran, promotes a false image of Iran and Iranians, scares tourists away, and harms our economy, development and credit. To what purpose?





When you call Ahmadinejad a nutcase for what he's said, what do you call Bush for his actions? I mean it's a good idea to consider what Bush is doing to the world with his wrong decisoins and lies. Bush is powerful and influencial, but Ahmadinejad is nothing.


To those who are upset with American hostages taken for 444 days:


1. Firstly, It's related to so many years ago and it's almost a part of history, and don't forget that when there's a revolution, there'd be chaos and people may do things that they should not, moreover they're all alive and healthy. Aren't they?


2.The U.S has arrested Iranian diplomats in Iraq and had tortured the one who was freed. Poor British sailors were detained by the English gov't just for saying that they were treated well in Iran and that Iranians were logical people (They said these when they were on England's soil!) They were PREVENTED from releasing their memoirs by England! Now you decide who has the right to be upset with whom. How do you believe in their lies about politics when they hide both the most and the least important things from you considering the fact that politics is the world of lies in its nature?!!! Considering all this, you'd probably be able to GUESS what percentage of what they tell you about the Mid-East, Islam, Moslems and other things is true!!! lol





Isn't it better for both countries to forget past conflicts and to have peaceful relations? Our two gov'ts are like 10 year old children playing a stupid, harsh, rhetorical game. They don't care about hurting people's feelings. They just try to make our two peoples enemies to achieve their own goals. We, as the people of these countries, MUST NOT allow these conflics into our hearts. You know something? All govt's are hateful. I just said the above things because it sounds unfair when some Americans talk about the taking of the 444 hostages while I keep silence. I hope you agree on this one! Now, what do you think? I can't wait to see both nations in peace. It'd be marvelous! They've started to have diplomatic talks! (Naughty children!) That's great!


Thanks for your time

Do you find this interesting (I'm talking about the facts)?
That was a nice thing to say. I agree with a lot of your thoughts.





As a Canadian, I think some of your ideas of Americans (as people) may be wrong. Most of them (and Canadians too) know that Iran is better than the media describes. The American media is notorious for sensationalism.





Also I fear that Americans (the government in this case) may want oil from your country. I hope this is not totally true, but certain events would seem to indicate this.





And Canadians would also be very pleased if peace could be made in that area of the world.
Reply:Don't you know that people get paid good money for editing? Why should we do it for you for free?
Reply:More people would read this if you shortened it...alot. Anyway thanks for all the info on your country it was very inlightning, however I already knew most of it as Ive seen documentaries on American tv about your country. Also I think you also need to rethink what you know about Americans and what we know and believe...we are not all brainwashed and we dont all agree with what our government wants to do or what people have said about other countries... I do commend you though for taking the time and writing this because I wish too for peace for everyone
Reply:Too lengthy and boring. I did not read the full thing (yawn).


But I can feel the love for humanity from ur words.
Reply:Please summarize this and resubmit it.





Nobody is going to take the time needed to wade through all this verbiage.





Regardless of whether it is good or bad.

Reply:I did try to suffer through this but gave up.





What I did get from it is an apologist view of Iran, it's leaders, culture and politics.





I respect your view on how your country is, but the rest of us see it in a different light.





We see crazy imams calling for the destruction of a Nation (Israel) and warnings from your even more crazy pres... "Amatoostupidtokeepmymouthshut"


that said if anyone moves against Lebanon, even to help the army there, that they would be punished. We see this same nut job thumb his nose at the rest of the world when he is told not to continue building Nuclear plants.





We see Iranian arms end up in the hands of Hamas (terrorist) and Hezbollah (terrorist)...


We do see current TV... ( see Memri.org) that shows honor killings, hangings and public stonings.





We hear a call for Sharia law.... that means for those of us that don't believe that Mohammed was anything more than a clever con man and a bloodthirsty tribal leader who killed and raped and stole in the name of a religion he started that we must either convert, pay tax (live as a Dhimmie) or be killed.





So, I'm sorry, if what I have mentioned here is not the "truth" then it is incumbent on you and others like you to set us straight.


Who sings this country song?

"i can still feel you just as close as skin every now and then....all by myself in a crowded room on an empty bed...there's a place you've touched with your love no one gets close to...i can still feel you....i can still feel you"

Reply:i can still feel you by collin raye





It's that feeling that someone is standing behind you


then I turn around and there's no one there.


And it's the sensation that someone just whispered,


yeah I still ehar your voice but you're not really hear.


Your memory's like a ghost,


and my heart is its host.





(Chorus)


I can still feel you just as close a skin, every now and then.


All by myself, in a crowded room, on my empty bed.


There's a place you've touched with your love no one else gets to...


I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you.


I can still feel you...





you said you'd love me forever, then you said 'It's over"


and left me without the missing link.


Well I thought I'd forget you, but I guess I forgot to,


and lately I've been too confused to think.


When I reach for someone new, it's like I'm touching you.





(repeat Chorus)





In everything that moves,


in everything I do...





(repeat Chorus)
