Dido and Faithless: Feeling Good Video & Lyrics

Here are the lyrics to Dido and Faithless's new song " Feeling Good":

(Faithless)
want the view from the top of the hill 
Give me the view from the top of the hill 


(Dido)
When I think of you 
And your good life 
And your sorrow too 
How much i’m missing you 
No matter where i go 
Or where I come to stay 
This is waking up 
I want this feeling 
Doors wide open 


(Dido)
And now i leave it all 
Bags of trouble 
And a messy mind 
Oh I hope I find 
Where your load is light 
Where your heart’s at ease 
This is waking up 
And feeling good feeling good 


(Faithless)
Hey i’m making my mistakes 
Cause I’m no great shakes at being perfect 
I just take my breaks and work it 
Bring it to the surface 
Like a scuba diver 
Never nervous 
Cause now i’m older and wiser 
An’ I’ve a bold feelin 
This old skin is peeln 
Revealing a new layer 
I’m no soothsayer 
But I feel it’s time to leave 
To polish my heart with the other sleeve 


(Dido and Faithless)
I want the view from the top of the hill 
Give me the view from the top of the hill 
I want the view from the top of the hill 
Give me the view from the top of the hill 


(Dido)
And feeling good feeling good

Lyrics To Dido's New Song "If I Rise":


Here are the lyrics for Dido's new song "If I rise". I forgot to mention that she sang that song with A.R. Rahman (The guy that sang in Jai Ho) and that this song is being played in the movie "127 Hours". There have been many rumors that this song is a different language but it's in English. Here are the lyrics:


Dido:
In your life, your mad
In your car, your sad
O' your taller now I've found
Hold your fire course
O' your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

A R R:
If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it's more than it is
More than it is

Dido:
If I rise, one more chance
All our dreams, more than this
O' your taller now I've found
Hold your fire course
O' your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

A R R:
If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it's more than it is
It's more than it is

Child Chorus:
If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call
Though I've never lost
Believe I don't care
Never again

A R R & Dido:
If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it's more than it is
It's more than it is

Child Chorus:
If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call

Dido:
If I believe, there's more than this
Anymore than this

Dido's Lullaby: Do You Have A Little Time

Here is a good old song that Dido sang on her album "Life For Rent", which was then rewritten and played on her "Live In Brixton Academy". It's called "Do You Have A Little Time". All these lyrics that I have written down, is what I hear from my own ears. Here are the lyrics to the New version:

Dido - Do You Have A Little Time Lyrics( New Version):

If you're feeling low and lost today, probably doing too much again. 
Spend All your hours just rushing around.
Do you have a little time for me?

Slow down my love, you're confusing me.
If you're feeling stressed, just try calling

Spend Your time Waiting, for anyone to see
Do you have a little time for me?

If you should stop for a while,
you will find me standing by,
Over here, The side of your life.

I will hold you still,
remind you, all you've missed
If you have time, that is.

Why do you still run, 
When you can still walk with me.
Life will pass you by, 
when you move this quickly.
What can you see, when spinning around?
Do You Have A Little Time For Me?

If you should stop for a while,
you will find me standing by,
Over here, The side of your life.

I will hold you still,
remind you, all you've missed
If you have time, that is....

If you let me listen, 
I'll make you feel clear
and if you let me love you,
I'll always be near.
If you take this One step,
Closer to me,
You'll see....

When you stop for a while, 
you will find me standing by, 
over Here, Here  in your life

I will hold you still,
remind you all you've missed.

If you have time that is

When you Have time, That Is

Driving To The Dubai Mall:


While I was driving along the Al Wasel Road in Dubai, I was thinking of putting the windows down and thought I would go cruising along the way to the Dubai Mall. On the way to the mall, a large thick grayish - black cloud had appeared in the sky and it just started to drizzle at first, but then the drizzle had lead to some rain, which was quite nice. So, while I was driving, I had come across some traffic on the road and when I looked up, something had appeared in front of the cars and I.
A rainbow was formed in front of me. I have never seen a rainbow in Dubai, since 1997. This rainbow wasn't a small rainbow, it was pretty big. It was formed close to the Burj Khalifa till Al Wasel Road. Now that is pretty awesome. Not many people saw it today, only a few of them saw it but the rest of the people were busy doing different things at the time. Even the mall wasn't that crowded today and that's all that happened today.

Retro's Shows To Watch:


Normally, I don't watch a lot of TV, I mainly prefer watching movies rather than TV shows because with TV shows, they mainly end up getting cancelled or they would go on for such a long time (Example: Bold & The Beautiful - When will that show end???). However I still watch a couple of TV shows such as:

  • Charmed - One of the best TV shows in the world; it's based on 4 hot witches living in the years 1990- 2006 . I would give this a 10/10, even though it had already ended in 2006
  • Heroes - This was also based on Paranormal stuff and it deals with super hero stuff as well. It ended up getting cancelled till Season 4, but they might end up making it into a movie or end it with a couple of mini-series
  • The Big Bang Theory - Most funniest TV show I ever watched
  • 90210 (The new one) - It's pretty dramatic but the story is pretty interesting
  • The Simpsons - a classic TV show, I never want this one to end; The Pope even Baptized this show :S
  • Ghost Whisperer - This show just ended, but I'm still watching the Final Season. I love Paranormal stuff :)
  • South Park - It's completely messed up being vulgar and all, but they have some funny episodes. Although I wouldn't recommend anyone below the age of 15 watching it.
That's about all the shows I watch. As I mentioned earlier, I love watching Movies. Movies that I will mention later on this month :)

Stanford University Performs Special Song:

I was just browsing around YouTube and I had decided to search for some new music to add to my new CD for my car, so I went around listening to some songs and I just came across this song. The Stanford University had a performance, where a group of students went and just started singing a bunch of songs in Acapella (One of the meaning are -Songs that are using the human voice as instruments). The name of the song is "Hunter" and it's one of Dido's songs. Here is the video:


Goodbye Summer; Hello Winter:

The heatwave in the U.A.E. has officially ended. Now the weather is finally starting to drop like anything, so that the air will remain cool all day. Now at 12:00PM in the afternoon, it used to be about 40 or 50 degrees Celsius but now it's about 20 or 30 degrees at most. Sometimes it goes below 20's in the night. It's so much better nowadays, we can finally go out and do things in this weather (well now some people are in the middle of midterms, I wish everyone the best in their midterms. They can enjoy the weather maybe during their breaks).
Anyways, now with the temperatures changing, there is an outbreak of the Common Cold leaking around town. I already got it from my little brother (that was literally unexpected) but that's not the case. Everyone is to be warned that they should cover up.
Other than that, now it's time to talk about what to expect or what I'm hoping to get during the winter. I seriously  want it to rain. There are many reasons, why I want it to rain in the U.A.E. Sometimes I feel like going out and playing in the rain or some people just enjoy splashing the puddles formed by the rain. Also the air gets cleaner and all the dirt gets washed away. And there are so many more things to say.
