Tom Waits...music file


Listen and enjoy Tom Waits


Ek het nie geweet van die musiek van Tom Waits, totdat iemand my van hom vertel het, en die liedjie is pragtig. Die woorde is sommer ook net hier!

Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You

Tom Waits

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear
you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, there's people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
and it being late, you'd like some some company,
Well I've had two, I look at you,
and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split,
the chair next to you's free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Turn around to look at you,
you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.

When there is faith - Robert Le Noury
When one door closes another opens,
when you finish one page there is another,
when one shooting star fades you see the moon.

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
There is always a silver lining around that cloud.
There is a reason for each season.

When you ask it shall be given,
when cry you will be comforted,
when you rejoice the Angels sing.

There are more answers than questions.
There are more smiles than frowns.
There is a reason for living.

Faith teaches us these truths.
Faith holds fast when others dispair.
Faith is true when all else is vain.
"Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith."
Saint Francis of Assisi (1181 - 1226)

Love



I want to continue my Friday's mood....so here goes...

William Morris was an artist too...on the pic here you can see some of his art...


There is so much going on in this world of us...do we ever stop! and think....think about an ant crossing a road...a caterpillar on a leave...honeybee buzzing on a flower......a bird seeking for crumbs....a newborn calf trying to get up.....newborn kittens struggling their way to their mummy's milk......children with Aids! sleeping hungry, crying for their mums....orphans....are we thinking what difference we can make to other people's lives? Let's start thinking how we can alter our lives to make a change to other people's lives, to bring love, joy and happiness to everybody in the world!

William Morris
Love Is Enough

Love is enough:
though the World be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows,
and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds pass'd over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble,
their feet shall not falter;
The void shall not weary,
the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.


Morris, William

1834—96, English poet, artist, craftsman, designer, social reformer, and printer. He has long been considered one of the great Victorians and has been called the greatest English designer of the 19th cent. Read more about

Radio Stations


South African Radio Stations, follow this link if you are interested. It is Steve Hofmeyr's Blog, one of our BEST artists in SA. Belgium artist, Dana Winner, has performed with him in SA a few years ago in Sun City. His blog is mainly Afrikaans, because Steve is a fighter for Afrikaans (and a BIG one for our country), but you will find a lot of English pages/bits too. He is a singer/writer/poet/actor -- very talented and also, lately started to negotiate with Thabo Mbeki about Afrikaans and the change of Street names in our country. Very silly to try "change" history to suit you, hey! They change street names, city names, airport names, just show you what kind of people are in charge of the country....
