Lyrics

This one goes out to you and yours
Worldwide
I say hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
The less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

I’ve been a lot of places all around the way
I’ve seen a lot joy and I’ve seen a lot of pain
But I don’t want to write a love song for the world,
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
Junkies on the corner always calling my name
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
When I saw you getting down well I hoped it was you
And when I looked into your eyes I knew it was true
I say Hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
The less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Now I’m not a highly metaphysical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
Bump into person in the middle of the road
Look into their eyes and you suddenly know
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
My momma told me don’t lose you
‘Cause the best luck I had was you
I said Hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

And I said rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey momma hey momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said hey papa, hey papa close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey Momma hey momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you I said
Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma

My momma told me don’t lose you
Cause the best luck I had was you
And I know one thing that I love you
I said I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
I said I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing that I love you
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)

Death Cab For Cutie “Stay Young Go Dancing”

“Stay Young, Go Dancing”

Life is sweet in the belly of the beast
In the belly of the beast
And with her song in your heart, it can never bring you down
It can never bring you down

Lost in a maze of a thousand rainy days
Of a thousand rainy days
But when I heard her voice, oh it led me to the end
Yes it led me to the end

Cause when she sings I hear a symphony
And I’m swallowed in sound as it echoes through me
I’m renewed, oh how I feel alive and through autumn’s advancing
We’ll stay young, go dancing

I like the upbeat, lively music and message about staying young and going dancing in every season of our life. I like especially this part of the lyrics:

“Cause when she sings I hear a symphony
And I’m swallowed in sound as it echoes through me
I’m renewed, oh how I feel alive and through winter’s advancing
We’ll stay young go dancing
Stay young go dancing
Stay young go dancing”

Rumi – The Meaning of Love

Both light and shadow are the dance of love
Love has no cause
It is the astrolabe of God’s secrets
Lover and loving are inseparable and timeless
Although I may try to describe Love
When I experience it, I am speechless
Although I may try to write about Love
I am rendered helpless
My pen breaks and the paper slips away
at the ineffable place
where Lover, Loving and Loved are one
Every moment is made glorious
by the light of Love

Grasshopper – 忘情桑巴舞 (Street Fighter II Music Remix)

For some reasons, this song by a Hong Kong Cantopop group that I used to listen to in the 1990s came back to my mind this morning, and I did a google search and managed to find it. 忘情桑巴舞 is translated by Google as “Immersed Samba”.

2 year old dancing the jive

This is cute.

He can dance really well. It reminds me of the young Michael Jackson in some ways, who could also dance very well at a young age. Maybe this boy will grow up to become a professional dancer or performer. The video also reminds me of Future Funk – a duo of young boys who are good at dancing to the beat of contemporary hip hop music.
