[maria_1981]

I think a lot of the time with choosing a fav, it depends on a persons mood at the time.

Thanks Val for all the you tube links, for some reason I dont have any sound on any of them??

Brilliant to have them here too Val.

We nearly have an album.

Khelda have you tried clicking the mute button (next to the pause button)?

[Khelda]

For some reason I noticed I dont have any sound on you tube, I do have on other things. Yes I have tried that button, have to see what could be the cause and hopefully will get sound again soon. Thanks Eternal.

[eternal]

Have you tried moving the bar next to it - to the right (to increase the sound)?

(not very good at explaining)

I had to do this to hear them.

[Khelda]

I will try.

[Khelda]

Thanks Eternal, that did the trick. yippy, off for a listen now.

[Becky_V]

I was just about to post my videos in here but realised val has already done it for me

I'm just uploading the last of the new videos and then i'll post it in here. I think it's called "If This Ain't Love"

I love it

[eternal]

Looking forward to this last one.

[Val4Gareth]

Looking forward to it Becky. I didn't know if you knew about this thread.

[Becky_V]

Here's the last of gareth's new songs i recorded in Blackburn

[Khelda]

Thanks Becky, your videos are brilliant quality. Love listening to them.

[Becky_V]

I'm so excited for the new album now .

I've been singing these songs all day in work! Couldn't get them out of my head

[eternal]

Can anyone distinguish the lyrics please?

We could update the thread as we go along so we have all lyrics to each song too.

[Becky_V]

To which song? All of them or do you want one in particular?

[Becky_V]

I've had a listen to free and here is what i think:

Free:

There’s tears in her eyes,

She’s no longer mine,

Her heart's on the line,

It’s over this time.

I thought I was the only one she’d ever need,

But then I, trampled on her heart one too many times,

She stopped trying to fight for me,

Her broken heart

Won't heal to how it used to be,

And she said now you’re free,

To be who you wanna be,

If that’s a life without me,

I’ll learn to get by,

It’s over this time,

Too late to decide,

She’s made up her mind,

The tears in her eyes,

Heah heah!, they're painful and dry

I thought I was the only one she’d ever need,

But then I, trampled on her heart, One too many times,

She stopped trying to fight for me,

Her broken heart

Won't heal to how it used to be,

And she said now you’re free,

To be who you wanna be,

If that’s a life without me,

I’ll learn to get by.

Am I holding on to something that’s already gone,

I feel her slipping through my fingers,

I can’t hold on,

Whatever it takes,

Whatever she says,

(Guitar)

She stopped trying to fight for me,

Her broken heart

Won't heal to how it used to be,

And she said now you’re free,

To be who you wanna be,

If that’s a life without me

I’ll learn to get by.

She stopped trying to fight for me,

Her broken heart

Won't heal to how it used to be,

And she said now you’re free,

To be who you wanna be,

If that’s a life without me,

I’ll learn to get by,

It’s over this time.

There’s tears in her eyes,

She’s no longer mine.

I'm not sure about a couple of lines and not sure if the spacing is right etc.

[Becky_V]

Hold On Tight:

All my life,

I’ve been waiting for you to arrive

Biding time

Knowing there's much more out there to find,

And you saved my life,

Come take my hand for a minute,

We’ll escape to the other side.

Hold on tight,

And I’ll take you away for the night,

If you close your eyes,

And we’ll dream about kingdoms and fairy-tale endings,

Magical feelings inside,

Just close your eyes,

Just close your eyes.

Close your eyes

Imagine me,

And you and how perfect this life could be,

Of make believe,

So don’t open your eyes

Cos I don’t wanna see,

And it’s fantasy,

If all that we have is right here, right now,

I won’t ever leave.

Hold on tight,

And I’ll take you away for the night,

If you close your eyes,

And we’ll dream about kingdoms and fairy-tale endings,

Magical feelings inside,

Just close your eyes,

Lah dah dah dah, lah dah dah dah,

If you let go and just close your eyes,

Lah dah dah dah, lah dah dah dah.

Hold on tight,

And I’ll take you away for the night,

Hold on tight,

And I’ll take you away for the night,

If you close your eyes,

And we’ll dream about kingdoms and fairy-tale endings,

Magical feelings inside,

Just close your eyes,

Just close your eyes,

Just close your eyes,

Just close your eyes,

It's hard to work out if he says "if you just close your eyes" or "just close your eyes" sometimes.

[Becky_V]

I Believe In Us/Living Without You:

I can’t leave

Every moment spent without you brings me to my knees,

I can barely breathe, alone I feel so incomplete,

Living without you.

‘Cause I can’t speak,

Every single word you say becomes a part of me,

If I’m left alone I fear this hopeless heart won’t beat,

It’s living without you,

Bitter sweet,

But can’t you see, there was still some hope inside of me.

Cos I, I believed in us,

More than everything that I’ve dreamed of,

I, I believed in us,

I believe you're everything

I, I believed in us

‘Cause I can see,

Every picture of tomorrow is a memory,

And my fears are not too clear now,

Am I meant to be

Living without you

Bitter sweet,

But can’t you see there was still some hope inside of me,

‘Cause I, I believe in us,

More than everything that I’ve dreamed of,

I, I believed in us,

I believe you're everything

I, I believe in us

(Guitar)

I can’t leave,

Every moment spent without you brings me to my knees,

Living without you,

Cos I, I believed in us,

All and everything that I dreamed of,

Cos I, I believe in us,

You're all and everything that I dreamed of,

Cos I, I believed in us,

I believe you're everything

I, Oh I, I believe in us,

I believe in us,

I believe in.

[Becky_V]

I Was Born To Fly:

Cos I bin

Knocked down a thousand times,

Got away scot free,

A lone ranger nothing’s got a hold on me,

Cos I’m a loose cannon, free man, do anything I please,

I'm a curator not a hater, unexclusivly

Never bring me down.

So let me do or let me die,

Cos baby I was born to fly high,

Let me do or let me die,

Cos baby I was born,

Baby I was born to fly.

Cos I bin locked up a thousand times,

Got away scot free

Cos I'm a leader so everybody follows me

Yeah

I'm an outlaw I live north

Maybe I could be

Cos I'm elusive

Intrusive

Bring you to your knees

Never bring me down

Oh oh

Let me do or let me die

Cos baby I was born to fly

Let me do or let me die

Cos baby I was born

Baby I was born to fly

Baby I was born to fly

Baby I was born to fly

Baby I was born

Born to fly

Cos I bin knocked down a thousand times

Yeah

So let me do or let me die

Cos baby I was born to fly

Let me do or let me die

Cos baby I was born

Oh baby I was born

Yeah,

Let me do or let me die.

Cos baby I was born to fly.

Let me do or let me die

Baby I was born

Oh baby I was born

Baby I was born

Baby I was born to fly

Born to fly

Baby I was born

Yeah

Born to Fly.

[Becky_V]

Stay:

I’ve been living a lie,

Every time I see her feels like she’s mine,

And I wonder if she’d take me if I changed my mind,

Have I wasted all my chances the very first time,

Oh I

You shut me out when I say how I’m feeling

You don’t believe me again,

If I didn’t love you why do I still cry,

If I didn’t hope that you were mine,

If I didn’t love you why do I still care inside,

Words I cannot hide,

Stay with me forever,

Build a life together.

See you and I

Have seen too many places to let it pass by

And we share too many memories that I hope you’ll find,

Again in time.

You shut me out when I say how I’m feeling,

You don’t believe me again,

If I didn’t love you why do I still cry,

If I didn’t hope that you were mine,

If I didn’t love you why do I still care inside,

Words I cannot hide,

Stay with me forever,

Build a life together.

Stay with me forever,

Yeah, build a, build a life together,

Stay, stay, stay, stay,

Stay with me forever,

If I didn’t love you why do I still cry,

If I didn’t hope that you were mine,

If I didn’t love you why do I still cry,

If I didn’t hope that you were mine,

If I didn’t love you why do I still care inside,

Words I cannot hide,

Stay with me forever,

Build a life together.

The lyrics i have bolded towards the end are in Vals video of stay but weren't in mine... strange how the lyrics have changed slightly between the two.

Also the words underlined i'm not sure about and the lines with ?? after them.

Hope no-one minds me doing this by the way? I'm a bit bored so it's passing the time.. and it means i get to listen to all the songs again

[Becky_V]

If This Ain’t Love:

Its hard to say I love you

Cause its not enough

I try to find some better words, to sum it up.

So I decided its better to write you a song

So that you can see

I wanna shout from the top of my voice,

You’re everything to me,

And I won’t give up

Believing in fairy-tale love,

‘Cause girl this feeling I’ve got inside,

I just cannot hide.

If this ain’t love, what is?

It’s the race in your heart,

The ache of your skin,

If this ain’t love, what is?

I’ll give you, everything,

If this ain’t love.

It’s hard to find the words that ---------------------

I try to describe that look in your eyes,

You are all at sea,

Cos girl this feeling I’ve got inside,

I just cannot hide,

If this ain’t love, what is?

It’s the race in your heart,

The ache of your skin

If this ain’t love, what is?

It’s the greatest love I’ve ever seen,

If this ain’t love, what is?

I’ll give you everything,

If this ain’t love.

(Guitar)

And I won’t give up,

Believing in fairy-tale love,

'Cause girl this feeling I got inside,

I just cannot hide,

If this ain’t love, what is?

It’s the race in your heart,

The ache of your skin,

If this ain’t love what is?

It’s the greatest love I’ve ever seen,

If this ain’t love, what is?

It’s the greatest love I’ve ever seen,

If this ain’t love, what is?

I’ll give you everything,

Cause you are everything,

If this ain’t love.

[Val4Gareth]

Wow Becky. That's fantastic managing to get all that. The only thing off hand that I think may be different is this

If I didn’t love you why do I stick here inside words I cannot hide

I think the underlined words may be `still hurt'

Other than that I think you've done pretty well.
