Here I go again...

J.W. Waterhouse:  Touchstone, the Jester

I don't know where I'm goin

But I sure know where I've been

Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time

But here I go again, here I go again.

Tho' I keep searching for an answer

I never seem to find what I'm looking for.

Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on

'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known.

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Just another heart in need of rescue

Waiting on love's sweet charity

An' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days

'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known.

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time

But here I go again, here I go again,

Here I go again, here I go.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known.

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone

'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known.

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time

But here I go again, here I go again,

Here I go again, here I go,

Here I go again.

Bye bye beautiful

Frank Frazetta: Top of morning

Did you ever hear what I told you?

Did you ever read what I wrote you?

Did you ever listen to what we played?

Did you ever let in what the world said?

Did we get this far just to feel your hate?

Did we play to become only pawns in the game?

How blind can you be, don't you see?

You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting

Bye, bye, beautiful!

Bye, bye, beautiful!

Ballad of the senses

Herbert Draper: Sea Melodies

Like lightning! (Iceman revisited)

Guillaume Geefs: La Genie du mal (The genius of evil) or Lucifer of Liege

(Satan: The IceMan)

Dreams come through...

You can't run away forever

But there's nothing wrong

With getting a good head start

You want to shut out the night,

You want to shut down the sun

You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart

Think of how we'd lay down together

We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong

Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods

Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs

I treasure your love, I never want to lose it

You've been through the fires of hell

And I know you've got the ashes to prove it

I treasure your love, I want to show you how to use it

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt

And I know you've got the scars to prove it

Remember everything that I told you,

And I'm telling you again that it's true

When you're alone and afraid, and you're completely amazed

To find there's nothing anybody can do

Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

There's always something magic,

There's always something new

And when you really really need it the most

That's when rock and roll dreams come through

The beat is yours forever, the beat is always true

And when you really really need it the most

That's when rock and roll dreams come through for you

Once upon a time was a backbeat,

Once upon a time all the chords came to life

And the angels had guitars even before they had wings

If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night

Remember everything that I told you,

And I'm telling you again that it's true

You're never alone cause you can put on the phones

And let the drummer tell your heart what to do

Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

The beat is yours forever

That's when rock and roll dreams come through

(18 yr old Angelina in 1993 Meatloaf video)

Unbreak my heart...

Herbert Draper: Tristan and Izolde

Hazy shade of winter

(Winter boots)

Time, time, time, see what's become of me

While I looked around

For my possibilities

I was so hard to please

But look around, leaves are brown

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army band

Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride

Than what you've got planned

Carry your cup in your hand

And look around, leaves are brown now

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend

That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away

Simply pretend

That you can build them again

Look around, the grass is high

The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery

Weaving time in a tapestry

Won't you stop and remember me

But look around, leaves are brown now

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown

There's a patch of snow on the ground...

Animals

Ciruelo: Heavy metal

I'm on the prowl and i watch you closely
I lie waiting for you
I'm the wolf with the sheepsskins clothing
I lick my chops and your tasting good

Joe Jusko: Tiger swim

I come round, round i come feel your love 

Tie you down, down i come steal your love 

I come round, round i come feel your love 

Tie you down, down i come steal your love 

Come ride, savage seduction 

Ride, ride, ride 

Ken Kelly: Heavy metal

Ode to life

Frederic Lord Leighton: Idilio

(Κ. Παλαμάς - Ύμνος της ζωής)

Ζωή! δεν είναι τίποτε γλυκύτερο στον κόσμο

απ’ την πεντάμορφη ζωή, την ηλιοφωτισμένη!

Ζωή, κι αν έρχεσαι γοργά κι από χαρές γεμάτη

κι αν έρχεσαι με βάσανα και μ’ έγνοιες και μ’ αρρώστιες

… και μ’ όλες τις καλοκαιριές και μ’ όλους τους χειμώνες

ζωή, κι όπως κι αν δείχνεσαι, Ζωή, κι ό,τι κι αν είσαι

αν είσαι πράγμα ή όνειρο, καλή κακή κι αν είσαι

χαρά σ’ εσέ, δόξα σ’ εσέ κι αγάπες και τραγούδια!

… Από τον ήλιον η ζωή παίρνει ζωή μονάχα.

Αγάπα και ξεφάντωνε και δούλεψε και ζήσε

και προσηλώσου στη ζωή σαν τον κισσό στο δέντρο

και δέσου με την γην αυτή, στρείδι στο βράχο επάνω

και μη σε μέλει πού θα πας τα μάτια σου όταν κλείσης.

 … Ζωή! χαρά, δόξα σ’ εσέ κι αγάπες και τραγούδια!
