Enjoying an old song

Yes, it is an old song. But it will renew itself. It will restore its position after sometime. It will revitalize. It will revivify. It is the song called "Words"

Yesterday, I put Boyzone's Album "Back Again...No matter what" into my trolley in ASDA. One of the songs is Words which I did enjoy in my teenage days. Now I enjoy again. Personally, I prefer Bee Gees's original version. I feel it was powerful and strong. But it is a different taste with Boyzone's . I would say it is sensational.

Bee Gees, first released in the beginning of 1968.



Boyzone version, released in 1996.


Lyrics.....

smile an ever lasting smile
a smile can bring you near to me
don't ever let me find you gone
'cause that would bring a tear to me
this world has lost its glory
let's start a brand new story
now my love
you think that I don't even mean
a single word I say

it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away

talk in ever lasting words
and dedicate them all to me
and I will give you all my life
i'm here if you should call to me
you think that I don't even mean
a single word I say

it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away

it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away

da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da

this world has lost its glory
let's start a brand new story
now my love
you think that I don't even mean
a single word I say

it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away

it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away

it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away

National Anthems

With on-going China Olympics, I frequently hear the national anthems of Gold medallists. For me, Great Britain's God save the Queen is sweet in my ears. I adore it.

China national anthem: The song shows it is a great country.


British Anthem, God Save the Queen : the Best. Awesome


Myanmar anthem : I used to like it, but later I learnt that it's a partial copy song.



National Anthem USA: reasonably good.


Singapore National Anthem: tune has not enough force?


secret singapore anthem: Why secret?



The National Anthem of Israel: good but sounds like a sad love song as I dont understand thier language.


Australian National Anthem: magnificent, I think a similar tune I heard at church. I can't remember what ceremony.


Fiji Anthem: mayvelous's Anthem.


Malaysia National Anthem: a decent song of 1950s, I feel.


National Anthem of Italy: I like Italian songs. I like Italian foods, I like Italian girls. But frustrated with Italian car.
