USA FOR AFRICA - We Are The World

There comes a time when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, will soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

[Chorus]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall well well well well
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

Bryan Adams - Summer Of 69 (Official live)

 

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
The summer seemed to last forever
And if I had a choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
And that's when I met you

Standin on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life Oh yeah

Back in the summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life Oh yeah

I love the song and my Bartek used to sing it for me.               

 

Elvis Presley, Martina McBride - Blue Christmas

 

I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
Youll be doin all right, with your christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue christmas
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas  

 

Michael Bublé | White Christmas

What are you dreaming of?

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten

And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

"May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white"

(I'm dreaming of a White Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten

And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow)

(I'm dreaming of a White Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

"May your days be merry and bright")

"And may all your Christmases be white"

The song is included on his 2006 cover album, We Shall Overcome - The Seeger Sessions. The Seeger Sessions consist of three recording sessions (a 2-days session on 01 and 02 Nov 1997, a 1-day session in Dec 2005, and a 1-day session in Jan 2006), during which all the album's songs were cut live in the living room of Bruce's New Jersey farmhouse. The songs were not rehearsed and all arrangements were conducted as Bruce and the band played. It is not clear during which one of the three sessions O MARY DON'T YOU WEEP was recorded.

Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Gui...

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.

Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Bono and others -- "Let It Be"

When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness,
She is standing right in front of me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people,
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is,
Still a chance that they will see,
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be.
Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, yeah, let it be.
There will be no sorrow, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, yeah, let it be.
There will be no sorrow, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, yeah, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Halina's Webinar August 30th 2014

Introduction.

Presentation is about my presence online and Sessions on WizIQ. Therefore, I would like to take advantage of VC’s tools and have a genuine contact with participants. I will try dynamically engage attendees in discussion. Consequently, they should be ready to use microphones and webcams because communication in the chat box is not authentic enough for me.

Living with Stargardt's Disease

Stargardt disease is the most common form of inherited juvenile macular degeneration. The progressive vision loss associated with Stargardt disease is caused by the death of photoreceptor cells in the central portion of the retina called the macula.
The retina is the delicate light-sensing tissue lining the back inside wall of the eye. Photoreceptor cells in the retina provide vision by conveying information from the visual field to the brain. The macula is responsible for sharp central vision — for tasks like reading, watching television, and looking at faces.
Decreased central vision is a hallmark of Stargardt disease. Side vision is usually preserved. Stargardt disease typically develops during childhood and adolescence. Also involved in Stargardt disease is a region beneath the macula called the retinal pigment epithelium.

While there are currently no treatments for Stargardt disease, the Foundation is supporting several promising avenues of research, including gene, stem cell and drug therapies.
For the latest research advances for Stargardt disease treatments, refer to the Foundation publication Stargardt Disease: Research Advances.

UV blocking sunglasses are generally recommended for outdoors. For people who already have significant vision loss, low vision aides are available.

Macy Gray I Try

MACY GRAY LYRICS

"I Try"

Games, changes and fears

 When will they go from here

 When will they stop

 I believe that fate has brought us here

 And we should be together

 But wer,e not

 I play it off but I'm dreamin of you

 I'll keep it cool but I'm fiendin.

 I try to say goodbye and I choke

 I try to walk away and I stumble

 Though I try to hide it it's clear

 My world crumbles when you are not near

 Goodbye and I choke

 I try to walk away and I stumble

 Though I try to hide it, it's clear

 My world crumbles when you are not near

 I may appear to be free

 But I'm just a prisoner of your love

 I may seem alright and smile when you leave

 But my smiles are just a front

 I play it off but I'm dreamin of you

 I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin

 I try to say goodbye and I choke

 I try to walk away and I stumble

 Though I try to hide it it's clear

 My world crumbles when you are not near

 Here is my confession

 May I be your possesion

 Boy I need your touch

 Your love kisses and such

 With all my might I try

 But this I can't deny

 I play it off but im dreamin of you

 I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin

 I try to say good bye and I choke

 I try to walk away and I stumble

 Though I try to hide it it's clear

 My world crumbles when you are not near
