Your Picture

Deze foto vond ik in een tijdschrift. Found this picture in a magazine.

Every day I wake up to your picture
Open up my eyes and there's still you
In the very corner I first placed you
The very same expression
That lights up all of my room
Though the colors may be somewhat faded
The smile has almost vanished from your face
As you disappear I re-invent you
From my imagination
You'll never be erased
There is no way to bargain with the future
In the end there are no guarantees... oh no
Even if you're gone I'll always find you
Right here where I left you
Smiling back at me
(chorus) Every star has a season, a moment, a reason to be
We may watch with regret as they flicker then die
But at least for one second we bathed in the light
of their passing
The memory is still lasting
Through the years and the distance your image remains
Like the first day I saw you, you'll never be changed
As a token you left me your picture
Every day I wake up to your picture
I fashion you a different attitude
Try to visualize the things you're doing
Not in desperation
Just to feel a part of you
There is no way to bargain with the future
What we have in store we can't forsee... oh no
Even if you're gone I'll always find you
Right here where I left you
Smiling back at me
(Repeat chorus)

Talking 80s music: Episode 177 - Gloria

Talking 80s music with Martin Hennesy, episode 177.

This week, we focused on one of the most dynamic voices of the decade... Gloria Estefan-- a true hit-making sound machine. We played an extensive retrospective mix, early single "Prisoner Of Love," a live version of "Falling In Love (Uh-Oh)" and the often overlooked soundtrack song, "Hot Summer Nights," from Top Gun. You don't find as many careers burn as brightly as hers. The only things that are missing from her recording career would be a one-night only live double-CD and a French-language album.

She's got some time, though.Sometimes when technology evolves and updates come along we pretend that everything is going to work out perfect. We are often deluded and just wrong. This was one of those moments. For some reason, we weren't able to get any audio working via Talkshoe and went with our last resort... recording it offline. Yet, even that has some downfalls. The mic can be soft at times and using noise cancellation in the edit can create some odd distortions. As you may hear. So, as a whole... we made it through and are going to take our next steps toward doing the show from the Macbook.

Gloria and Emilio protest against Arizona immigration laws

Gloria and Emilio Estefan, took part in the demonstration, Boycott Arizona, in downtown Los Angeles this afternoon (May 2). The demonstration was meant to speak out against the new Arizona immigration laws and demand that President Barack Obama’s administration overhaul the country’s immigration laws.
“We came as refugees to this country that gave us many opportunities,” said the 52-year-old Cuban-born singer. “We join with you today so that they will know that we immigrants are honest, workers, to show the beautiful face that we bring to this country, always respecting the laws. If everyone looks back, everyone is an immigrant in this country. We don’t want to link the word ‘immigrant’ with ‘criminal.’”
She later added: “We’re good people. We’ve given a lot to this country. This country has given a lot to us.”
Gloria and Emilio traveled to L.A. from Las Vegas where they had been honored last week with a star on The Las Vegas Walk Of Stars.
It is estimated that 50 000 demonstrators took to the streets, many chanting, “Si, se puede,” or “Yes, we can.”
