Coldplay - Coloratura (Radio 2 In Concert)
https://youtu.be/KbVKJx9gNAs?si=irB9_ZVsEF7j046V





Coloratura
We fell in through the clouds
And everyone before us is there welcoming us now
It's the end of death and doubt
And loneliness is out

Coloratura
The place we dreamed about
The melodies inside yourself
And love come pouring out
And everyone's allowed
We're feathered by the crowd

And up there in the heavens
Galileo and those pining for the moon
Know it's a slow burn
Through Pioneer and Helix
Oumamama, Heliopause, and Neptune
We're a slow burning tune
But we'll get there

So for now
In this crazy world, I do
I just want you

In the end, it's all about
The love you're sending out

My DN Family of friends just came across Tina Turner
& could not resist to share with you ... Such Happiness
she brought to the Universe of Music pure joy.
have a blessed & fun weekend fast approaching...
Always Carmen

Loreena McKennitt - Caravanserai
https://youtu.be/4QpRCK1IbiE?si=XUs-MTelj5uiuYfO

This glancing life is like a morning star
A setting sun, or rolling waves at sea
A gentle breeze or lightning in a storm
A dancing dream of all eternity

The sand was shimmering in the morning light
And dancing off the dunes so far away
The night held music so sweet, so long
And there we lay until the break of day

We woke that morning at the onward call
Our camels bridled up, our howdahs full
The sun was rising in the eastern sky
Just as we set out to the desert's cry

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you












The tents grew smaller as we rode away
On earth that tells of many passing days
The months of peace and all the years of war
The lives of love and all the lives of fears

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

We crossed the river beds all etched in stone
And up the mighty mountains ever known
Beyond the valleys in the searing heat
Until we reached the caravanserai

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

What is this life that pulls me far away
What is that home where we cannot reside
What is that quest that pulls me onward
My heart is full when you are by my side

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31st that involves wearing costumes, trick-or-treating, and carving jack-o'-lanterns. The word "Halloween" comes from the phrase "All Hallow's Eve," which is the evening before All Saints' Day, a Christian holiday that takes place on November 1st. The word "hallow" refers to saints, and "hallowed" means "holy". The first records of the word "Halloween" date back to the 1550s.
