You Never Gave Up On Me (Crystal Gayle)

"You never gave up on me

When I was giving love up on you

Every time I thought this love can't work

You stayed to see it through

You never gave up on me

When  I was making things rough on you

And you showed me

What it really means to love somebody..."
[You Never Gave Up On Me by Crystal Gale (1982)]

Have a lovely Musical Monday...
What moves you?

Turn Back The Clock (Johnny Hates Jazz)

If you were to live your life again,

what would you change?

Another day is ended

And I still can't sleep

Remembering my yesterdays

I begin to weep

If I could have it over

Live my life again

I wouldn't change a single day

(Chorus)

I wish that I could

turn back the clock

Bring the wheels of time to a stop

Back to the days when life

was so much better

Lying here in silence

Picture in my hand

Of a boy I still resemble

But I no longer understand

And as the tears run freely

How I realise they

were the best years of

my life

(Chorus)

You might say it's just

A case of giving up

No

But without these memories

where is the love

Where is the love

If I could have it over

Live my life again

I wouldn't change a single day

(Chorus)

Why can't I turn back the clock

Bring the wheels of time to a stop

Back to the days

Oh no no

I remember when

Life was so good

I'd go back if I could

Oh oh I wouldn't

change a single day

Don't let the memories slip away

I wouldn't change a single day

Don't let the memories slip away

Of Fun and Friendship (Thursday Poets' Rally Week 27)

bound by friendship

ties that are deep

two decades of sisterhood

an unbreakable loop

"raise the roof!"
that was the mood

a night of 80's fun

and disco jam...

of strobe lights

and tights...
of red stilettos

and loud echoes...

never ending banters

in a room full of prancers...

 

one night of break

for sanity's sake!

It was Kadayawan Festival in Davao City last week. Fat Bobby's hosted another 80's party called Retro Friday (August 20) and even though I had an on-and-off fever, I couldn't pass up the once-in-a-blue-moon bonding time with my equally busy BFFs and TFFs. And so, FUN FUN FUN we had that Friday night! Disco balls, laser lights and wet (as in sweat) look... it was soooooooooo 80's once again!!!

A BIG thanks to Jingle and the other poets who voted for me. I really appreciate this beautiful Celebrate Poet of July Award. Thank you so much!

Monday's Rhythm Is Gonna Get You

A confluence of events last week caused me to hibernate. It was a week of contemplation and quiet solitude. But I'm breaking my silence now and starting the week right the "Living and Loving and Coping" way...

An upbeat tune from the 80's!

o eh o eh o eh o eh
o eh oo aah o eh o eh
o eh oo aah o eh o eh

Rhythm Is Gonna Get You (1987)

Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine

Happy Monday to all of you!

If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, 

you must accept the terms it offers you.

Music Monday~ Never Knew Love Like This Before

This feeling's so deep inside of me
Such a tender fantasy
You're the one I'm living for

You are my sunlight and my rain
And time could never change
What we share forever more

I never knew love like this before
Now I'm lonely never more
Since you came into my life
 

What can I say? This song needs no introduction... Just enjoy it!

Happy Music Monday!

Music Monday - Eternal Flame (The Bangles)

More like an eternal sunshine to me...

Music Monday - Africa (Toto)

TOTO was one of the hottest rock bands in the 80's. This song topped the charts in 1983. To think that this single didn't almost make it to their Toto IV album because the song itself was very different from anything the band had done before and some members felt it did not sound like Toto at all. Little did they know that this song would pave the way for winning the hearts of non-rock fans.

Join me as I make another trip down memory lane... =)
