The story of a life, from birth to death and beyond. A home made video with more than decent quality. Worth watching.

This video has been made by students (and teachers) of high school, from Malaga, as a goodbye to school on their graduation day, looking back to all they have been, and looking forward to all life might bring in. The video is great, but the best thing about it is that my nephew is there! :)

Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this video and a big hug to F.

When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born - oooooh
Somehow I have to make this final breakthrough . . . now!

I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something
You're touchin' me
I'm under your thumb, under your spell
Can't you see ?

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough

Roxanne
You don't have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it’s wrong or if it is right

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
You don't have to sell your body to the night

His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His looks caress your skin...
It’s more than I can stand!

It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby

Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby?
I think I wanna marry you

Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go-go
If you're ready, like I'm ready

You've got the whole world in your pocket
But you just don't know
Everybody's smiling at you everywhere you go
It's like you've got that secret
That everybody else wants to know.

Anywhere you are is just like home to you
From the beaches in Manila down to Katmandu
Yeah you've got that secret
That everybody else wants to know
But you won't ever let it go, oh

Everybody wanna shine that bright
Everybody wanna say they can
Everybody wanna live your life
Everybody wanna talk like you
Only wanna do the things you do
Cause they always gonna turn out right
Everybody wanna live your life!

We take a whole room full of strangers
And we make them friends
We do it all around the world just so it never ends
It don't matter where we're coming from or going to

And everybody needs a friend like you

Oh

Tonight is the night, we’ll fight 'til it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us

And so we put our hands up

Na na na na na na na na (aha)

Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight 'til it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us.

I love her can't leave her,
Forever I'll always need her,
She lies, but I believe her,
Lovesick I got that fever.
Love stupid, I know it,
Love stupid, I know it,
I know, cause I'm a fool in love.

My baby shot me down again
Shot me down with her love and I go bang bang
That girl's a killer from a gang
Shot me down with her love and I go bang bang

And oh, I love her so that's why I gotta let her know
That I'll be here for her to always love her down

And maybe that's the truth
The clock can tick and ain't no use
I wonder when my tux can see you when you're down
My baby shot me down, down, down, down
Shot me down with the love and it went pow-pow
I love my baby's freaky style
But my baby's always sneaking out

But damn, I love her so
That's why I gotta let her know
That I'll be here for her, I'll always be her man

And baby, that's the truth
You're my chick, bottlecruise
I got that roof, I put that diamond on her hand

Hey baby, can't get you out my brains
Damn girl, you're such a sexy thing
You’re my pretty little lady
And my baby makes me go down down
And my baby makes me go down down

Hey, my baby make me go down down
My baby make me go
Down-dee-de-down, down-dee-down

Hey, my baby make me go down down
Hey, my baby make me go down down
A-scoodee-be-dee bap bap
My baby make me go down down
Hey, my baby make me go
Bang-bang-bang-bang, ba-bang-bang ba-ba-bang...

Walking on sunshine

Your face

'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something
You're touchin' me
I'm under your thumb, under your spell
Can't you see ?

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile...

Seáis lo que seáis...   Whatever you may be

I WAS A FOOL FOR YOU= I was crazy about you, I loved you very very much.

LIKE THE CEILING CAN’T HOLD US= As if the ceiling can’t stop us or contain us (because we are so free or because we are so big)

MA-CKLE-MORE= Macklemore is the name of the person who sings this song, so this is self-promotion.

CAN’T GET YOU OUT OF MY BRAINS= I Can’t stop thinking of you.

MAKES ME GO DOWN= Makes me fall down (because I feel so week from being lovesick, because she shot me down). Yes, it also has other meanings but I won’t comment on it, and really, I think the singer is being intentionally ambiguous here again.

WALKING ON SUNSHINE= Walking under the sun, in daylight. Sunshine is often a metaphor for happiness.

DON’T IT FEEL GOOD!= (correct: Doesn’t it feel good!)= It feels great!
