Smile, though your heart is aching - Goodbye Michael Jackson

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...



If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...



Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...



Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...



If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile




Wikipedia history ...
"Smile" is a pop song, originally used as an instrumental theme in the soundtrack for the 1936 Charlie Chaplin movie Modern Times. Chaplin composed the music, while the words were written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons. In the lyrics, the singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they smile.
Michael Jackson covered this song on his 1995 double album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. During the final concerts of Jackson's HIStory World Tour, it was sung and dedicated to Princess Diana.
Jermaine Jackson sang Smile at his brother Michael's memorial service on July 7, 2009 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

On the decks ...
"Human (1986)" by the Human League,
Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (1987)",
"Don't You Forget About Me" (Simple Minds @ 1985 - Definitely one of the defining songs of the 80s!),
Guns and Roses and "Sweet Child O' Mine (1988)",
Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit (1991)",
Level 42's very memorable "Something About You (1985)",
Spice Girls and the catchy "Wannabe (1996)" - Some say this is one of the most recognisable songs of the 90s!, and ...
New Radicals with "You Get What You Give (1998)". Brilliant!


Mambo is certainly the best, been there done that!

MTV - The 80s

VH1 - I love the 80s!
As I was flipping channels tonite on Astro ... MTV caught my eye ...
First it was Sweet Child O' Mine (Guns and Roses, 1988) ;
Then came Hands to Heaven (Breathe, 1988) ... Check out the guy's hair!

... and finally Belinda Carlisle sang Heaven is a Place on Earth (1987). Bliss!!

Set adrift on a memory bliss ...

PM Dawn ... 1991 ... Set adrift on a Memory Bliss ... The oldies are still the best!

" The camera pans the cocktail glass,
Behind a blind of plastic plants; ...
I found the lady with the fat diamond ring.
Then you know I cant remember a damn thing.
I think its one of those de ja vu things,
Or a dream thats tryin to tell me something... "



What were you up to in 1991? :-)

Songs of 2007 - Our Compilation

An idea that was hatched on 22nd December this year ... each of the party-goers to Richard's Christmas BBQ would contribute a song to be compiled into a 'Songs of 2007' CD. The songs need not be from the year, but just has to have some form of meaning and significance to an event / events from 2007!
