Please name the song, artist, and if possible the lyrics or chorus (best you can do)

Three Little Birds by Bob Marley

"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!...

dont dream its over- crowded house

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
Theres a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But youll never see the end of the road
While youre travelling with me

Hey now, hey now
Dont dream its over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they wont win

Now Im towing my car, theres a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but theres no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the t.v. page

Hey now, hey now
Dont dream its over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they wont win

Now Im walking again to the beat of a drum
And Im counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Dont dream its over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Dont ever let them win

Mustang Sally.

nah kidding..

The Way I Are chorus (I think he needs to hear these words for some reason)

Shelby J told us during the final aftershow this was one of Prince's favourite songs. She also performed it and it was great !


Misty Blue
Eddy Arnold)

Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Looks like I get you off my mind
Oh, but I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my world a misty blue.

Just the mention of your name
Turns the flicker to a flame
I think of things we used to do
Then my whole world turns misty blue.

I should forget you
Heaven knows I've tried
But when I said I'm glad we're through
My heart knows I've lied,

Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Looks like I get you off my mind
Oh, but I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my world a misty blue.

Oh, but I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my world a misty blue...

You lying! Shelby said that? My sister is gonna have a fit she loves this song also. This is a beautiful song, but I thought the original singer was Dorothy Moore!

From Wikipedia :"Misty Blue" is a song written by Bobby Montgomery that has become a pop standard. Originally written as a country song for Eddy Arnold, the song grew in popularity after it was covered by jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald in 1967. In 1976, the song became a hit for R&B vocalist Dorothy Moore, reaching #2 on the Billboard R&B chart and #3 on the Pop chart. It has since been covered by numerous pop, R&B, and easy listening artists. Monica covered the song as part of her 1998 album,The Boy Is Mine. Even more recently, singer Miki Howard covered the song on her 2006 covers' album, "Pillow Talk"."

It's true ! It was a very emotional moment when Shelby sang it for Prince...

Wikipedia is usually on crack, but this seems pretty acurate!

So she sang it to Prince huh, did he give her a big hug like that hug he gave to Tamar?!?!?!?

I would like to dedicate the song "Do That To Me One More Time" by the Captain & Tennille to Prince. I'm going through some Prince concert withdrawal right about now.

It's Gonna Be Lonely - Prince

We've been 2gether 4 quite some time
I'd think by now U'd know
It'll take 4ever 2 get U off my mind
If ever U decide 2 go
I guess I got a little insecurity
When it's concerning U
I guess I'm just afraid that if U ever leave
I'd be in a messed-up state of blue

And I'd be so lonely
Without U loving me, I know it's gonna be lonely
Without U giving me every little single thing that I need
Lonely

Whatever's in your kiss, it really turns me on
Till I go right out of my mind
And who could ever resist your accent from gay Paree
It gets me every time
I betcha thatcha never knew that in my dreams
U are the star
The only bummer is that U always want 2 leave
Who do U think U are?

Don't U know it's gonna be lonely?
Without U loving me, I know it's gonna be lonely
Without U giving me every little single thing that I need
Lonely

It's gonna be lonely
Without U loving me, giving me everything that I need
Oh pretty baby, can't U see it's gonna be lonely?

Without U loving me
I know, I know it's gonna be lonely

Oh, whatever's in your kiss
I never could resist
Oh baby, don't go!

We've been 2gether 4 quite some time
It would take 4ever 2 get U off my mind
Oh girl!

Without U loving me
I know it's gonna be lonely

Without U by my side
Don't U know that I could die, baby?

Without U loving me
Can't U see it's gonna be lonely?

It's gonna be lonely, baby

Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad - Prince

There's some talk going 'round town
That U really don't give a damn
They say U really put me down
When I'm doing the best I can
I gave U all of my love
I even gave U my body (ok,maybe just money but still...)
Tell me baby, ain't that enough?
What more do U want me 2 do?

I play the fool when we're 2gether
But I cry when we're apart, yeah
I couldn't do U no better
Don't break what's left of my broken heart, baby

CHORUS:
Why U wanna treat me so bad when U know I love U?
How can U do this 2 me when U know I care?
Why U wanna treat me so bad when U know I love U?

U know I try so hard
2 keep U satisfied
Sometimes U play the part
Sometimes U're so full of pride
And if it's still good 2 ya
Why U wanna treat me so bad?
U used 2 love it when I'd do ya
U used 2 say I was the best U'd ever had

I play the fool when we're 2gether
I give U everything I can, yeah
And if it's still good 2 ya
There's just somethin' that I can't understand

CHORUS

The Truth by India Arie

Spoken : let me tell you why I love him

Chorus:
Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause
Hes light it shines so bright I wouldnt lie

I remember the very first day I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
Its almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband maybe he was my wife
And even,the things I dont like about him are fine with me
Cause its not hard for me to understand him cause hes so much like me
And its truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that its gods gift to breathe
The air he breathes

Chorus

How can the same man that makes me so mad
Do you know what he did-(spoken)
Turn right around and kiss me so soft
Girl so you know what he did-(spoken)
If he ever left me I wouldnt even be sad no
Cause theres a blessing in every lesson
And Im glad that I knew him at all

Chrous

I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way that he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth
I love him in every way that a woman can love a man
From personal to universal but most of all
Its unconditional

You know what Im taking about-(spoken)
Thats the way I feel
And I always will-(spoken)

There aint no substitute for the truth
Either it is or isnt
Cause he is the truth
You see the truth it needs no proof
Either it is or it isnt
Cause he is the truth
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
Cause he is yes he is
I wonder does he know -echoes-

Shine
By Aly & AJ (I swear the lyrics for this song come so close to the way I feel about Prince. It's almost unreal).

When I've gone 2 far
When I've had enough
When I'm losing ground
Feeling outta touch
I don't run & hide
I just look inside
for a simple piece of mind.

Like a neighborhood, on a city street
I know the path and it knows my feet
When I feel afraid
feel like checking out
You stand up & stand a bow.

Bridge:
You shine when others need u
You speak and I believe u
I know the light that guides u
I'll join the line that walks behind u

Chorus:
You shine
Like a window to ur heart I see
all the possibilities
You shine
And every day's another opportunity to shine

The way you see the world
The way it sees you back
You're the photographer
You take the photograph
If you don't like the way
The way it looks at you
You've got all the power to choose

Turn right, turn left, turn the other way
Make it light, make it dark, make it go away
I love the way you write the script to your own life
You're the star, you're on tonight

Bridge 2:
And when I feel unnoticed
Just two steps back from hopeless
You turn my world around with a single smile
That's who you are, that's who you are

[Chorus]

I know the light, the light that guides
I'll join the line that walks behind you

[sidenote: I had their CD a little while before coming to Prince. But when I started listening to him and picked this up again not too long after, this song just spoke the truth about him]

I'd like 2 dedicate Tina Turner's "Simply The Best" 2 the one and only Prince.The title of that song sayz it all.

My Name is Prince - by Prince dedicated to Prince.

The closest thing to crazy

Katie Melua


How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

[CHORUS:]
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own...
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn from you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

[CHORUS]

"The sweetest " ~ Sade

Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and I were talking
I asked that she'd always keep you protected

She promised you her light
That you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning

And then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And I can see the miracle
That keeps us from falling

She promised all the sweetest gifts
That only the heaven's could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning

And as you so gracefully give
Her light as long as you live
I'll always remember this moment

"Anytime you need a Friend" ~ Sade

They said that hell's not hot - Marilyn Manson

I kill myself in small amounts
in each relationship it's not
about love.
Just another funeral and
just another girl left in tears.
And I'm waiting
with the sound turned off
I'm waiting
like a glass balloon
and I'm fading
into the void and then
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone...
They said that hell's not hot
They said that hell's not hot
I gave my soul to someone else
she must have known that
it was already sold.
It was never about her,
it was about the hurt.
I'm waiting
like a glass balloon
and I'm fading
into the void and then
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone...
They said that hell's not hot
They said that hell's not hot
I kill myself in small amounts
in each relationship it's not
about love.
Just another funeral and
just another girl left in tears.
And I'm waiting
with the sound turned off
I'm waiting
like a glass balloon
and I'm fading
into the void and then
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone...
They said that hell's not hot
They said that hell's not hot

Canción: Pa ti no estoy http://www.youtube.com/wa...I8bOBeAQDY

Que te vaya bonito
mis mejores deseos
que en la vida recojas
lo que siembres de bueno
Que te vaya bonito
que no te vaya mal
y que el tiempo te deje
donde tengas que estar

...quisiste ser universal eclipsando mil sueños
que Dios te proteja en la celda de tu soledad... yo

Me voy a plantar al campo
o a la orilla la marea
deseo que todo te vaya de vicio
me voy ahí te quedas
Me voy a vivir tranquila
sin pausa pero sin prisa
deseo que todo te vaya de lujo
no espero visita
así que no vayas
que pa´ti no estoy ... yo pa´ti no estoy ...

Salud, amor y fortuna
me llevo todo en orden
salud pa´ver , amor pa´ser
fortuna pa´olvidar tu nombre
Me marcho con las lunas
donde el sol no se esconde
Él me abriga el invierno
y ella enciende mis noches ... y tú

... quisiste ser universal eclipsando mil sueños
que Dios te proteja en la celda de tu soledad ... yo

Me voy a plantar al campo ...Así que no estoy (bis)

Te dejo todo aquello que me diste
me llevo todo lo que di que no quisiste
me voy contenta no tengo mas que darte
me llevo todo lo que di que no cuidaste ...yo pa´ti no estoy ...

Never in Your Sun, by Stevie Wonder

I met her at lover’s park
One rainy April Monday
Smiling soft and warm as on
A clear December Sunday
Wearing taffeta and lace
That matched her braided hair
With their corralled beads

That sang to me

She said “ hi ” and asked me why
Was I looking with sorrow
When there were much brighter days
In store for me tomorrow

I looked up at her and smiled
And said, why I don’t know
But would she agree, to stay with me
And she said
Never in your sun, she said
Never in your sun, then she said
I will only come
In your pouring rain to relieve the pain
So if you are at lover’s park
And someone looks with sorrow
Ask them why are they so sad
When sunshine’s theirs tomorrow
They’ll reply they don’t know why
And ask you please to stay
’til the end of time, and when they’re fine

Be kind and say
Never in your sun, just tell them
Never in your sun, then say
I will only come
In your pouring rain, to relieve the pain, never, ever
Never in your sun, never in your sun, believe that
I will only come
In your pouring rain to relieve the pain

I'd like to dedicate the song, "To the Morning." by Dan Fogelberg. For Prince.

Watching the sun
Watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops.
Cloudy and warm
Maybe a storm
You can never quite tell
From the morning

And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning
Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but
Come on morning.....

Waiting fot mail
Maybe a tale
From an old friend
Or even a lover.
Sometimes there's none
but we have fun
Thinking of all
Who might have written

And maybe there are season's
And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange.

The sounds of the day
They hurry away
Now they are gone until tomorrow.

One day will break
And you will wake
And you will rake your hands
Across your eyes
And realize

That it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say
No to the morning
Yes, it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but

Come on morning.
Love, T

Purple Rain

Setup: This is a love song however I like the aspect that it sort of expresses what I feel about Prince’s music. To not like his music (grammar lessons needed ) is going “against the current” (contra la corriente). In the part where Marc sings about lips (labios) insert the word music. Hope you get the idea. I’ve heard a lot of music but Prince is the one I can’t go without for too long. The current is words - he’s a lyricist and so am I. I love Marc for this same reason.

"Contra La Corriente"

No hay dia que pase
que yo no me acuerde de ti
no hay labios que bese
que no, no me sepan a ti
tu te quedaste para siempre aqui
en mi pensamiento
tu me dominas
tienes el control
de mis sentimientos
aunque estes lejos
de nada me sirve
porque yo te quiero
ay, mas que ayer
ay, mas que ayer

[Coro:]
yo trato, trato, trato
pero no te olvido
yo lucho, lucho, lucho
y no lo consigo
lo pongo todo de mi parte
y no es suficiente
es como seguir nadando
contra la corriente
contra la corriente, amor

[Repite Coro 2X]

no hay noche que llegue
que yo no te sienta aqui
tu te quedaste para siempre
aqui en mi pensamiento
tu me dominas
tienes el control
de mis sentimientos
aunque estes lejos
de nada me sirve
porque yo te quiero
ay, mas que ayer
ay, mas que ayer

[Repite Coro 2X]

Wow!

he tratado de olvidarte
y todavia no lo consigo
todavia siento tu amor
en mi pecho encendido
he tratado de olvidarte
y todavia no lo consigo
y es que cada anochecer
deseo estar contigo
he tratado de olvidarte
y todavia no lo consigo
que me hiciste, que me diste
que quede por tu amor mal herido, ohhhh

Wow!

Yo lucho y lucho, ay como lucho
yo trato y trato, pero es en vano
Yo lucho y lucho
Pero te extrano
ay, como lucho
que sigo pensando
yo trato y trato
trato de olvidarte
pero es en vano
pero te amo
pero te amo!

no te olvidare
y no me diga que no es suficiente
porque yo siempre te voy a querar
Yo lucho y lucho
Es una lucha perdida
tu solo nombre me excita
y ven, ven, ven
que estas en mi pensamiento
como una llama encendida

Ehhhhh!

Ay, como lucho
Contra la marea
trato y trato
trato y trato
busco y busco
lucho y no lo consigo

Alicia Keys - Butterflies




Lately when I look into your eyes
You’re the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don’t know how to describe
How lovely you make me feel inside

You give me butterflies
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can’t control the butterflies
You give me butterflies
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can’t control the butterflies

This seemed like the likely thing
From the start you told me I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
joy is what you bring
I want to give you everything

You give me butterflies
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can’t control the butterflies
You give me butterflies
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can’t control these butterflies
You and I
Are destiny
I know now
You were made for me

Ohhh oooo
I can’t control it
It’s driving me
Taking over me and I want….

You give me butterflies
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can’t control the butterflies
You give me butterflies
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can’t control the butterflies

You give me butterflies
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can’t control, I can’t control it
You give me butterflies
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can’t control the butterflies

You give me something I just can’t deny
Something that is so real
I just can’t control the way I feel
Oh no oh no oh no oh no
You give me something that I just can’t deny
Something that is so real
I just can’t control the way I feel
Ohh I never felt like this…




Love U Prince !
