Justs - "Ko tu dari" (Official Video)



"Ko tu dari" 

***Lyrics***


Pretī taviem vārdiem
Es lieku savus
Un tavu lūpu mirdzums
Tik ļoti savāds
Ka vairs nevar saprast uz kuru pusi
Tava vienaldzība ir mani aiznesusi

Nu ko tu dari?
Ka negaisā mēs esam abi
Nu ko tu dari?
Kad aiz aizslēgtām durvīm vairs nejūtos labi.
Nu ko tu dari? nu ko tu
Nu ko tu dari ar mani
O-o-ooo-o...

Sestdienas blūz tas neatlaiž mūs
Tas neatļauj skriet, bet gan atpakaļ iet
Un atmiņas rūgtas kā pieneņu pūkas kairina lūpas
Un pat ja man vienam ir jāblendž uz sienām
Es būšu es pats un neatdošos nevienam
Bet jūtu, gribas man zināt, kā būtu ja...

Nu ko tu dari?
Ka negaisā mēs esam abi
Nu ko tu dari?
Kad aiz aizslēgtām durvīm vairs nejūtos labi.
Nu ko tu dari? nu ko tu
Nu ko tu dari ar mani
O-o-ooo-o...

Nu ko tu dari?
Ka negaisā mēs esam abi
Nu ko tu dari?
Kad aiz aizslēgtām durvīm vairs nejūtos labi.
Nu ko tu dari? nu ko tu
Nu ko tu dari ar mani

O-o-ooo-o...

New Song: Listen to "Novocaine" from Tim Schou

As frontman of the Danish band A Friend In London represented Tim Schou 2011 his country with the song "New Tomorrow".

Some days ago released Tim Schou a brand new song called "Novocaine" on Soundcloud.
"I'm traveling all over the world, recording and writing for my own solo project. In the last 1,5 years I've recorded 150 songs. And that's great...... for me.... But sometimes I feel selfish for not sharing any of it, as I know there's people out there who wants to listen to the stuff I work on, which I am grateful for and that's why I put up "Novocaine" on Soundcloud for streaming. It's not a release, it's just me sharing with my FRIENDS." told us Tim about the song.

"Novocaine" 

***Lyrics***

My bloodstream doesn't burn like it used too 
And my hands don't quiver quite as much 
Cause ever since you walked into the room 
You changed my broken point of view 

Even when the world goes down in flames
I can't feel a thing cause you're my Novocaine 
And my body doesn't shiver when I'm with you 

Cause ever since you walked into the room 

You changed my broken point of view 
I can't feel a thing cause you're my Novocaine 
My temper doesn't tick like it used too
Even when the world goes down in flames

You're my Novocaine You numb the pain 
You keep me sane Yes you do 
So even when the world goes down in flames 
I can't feel a thing cause you're my Novocaine

New Singles: Listen to "Dreamers" and "Kiss The Sky" from Sinplus

Sinplus - "Dreamers" & "Kiss The Sky"
(Released: 24.06.2016)
The Broggini brothers Ivan and Gabriel, better known under their stage name Sinplus, represented Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song "Unbreakable". Two years later Sinplus received the MTW Europe Music award as Best Swiss Act.


At the moment the brothers are working on their new album, which is expected to be released later this year. In the meantime Sinplus released last Friday two brand new singles - one of them is "Dreamers" and the other one is called "Kiss The Sky".




Even though these two songs are very different from each others, they both carry those fundamental traits that distinguish Sinplus music: energy, freshness, melody and lyrics that encourage people to be themselves and fight for their own dreams.

"Dreamers" is a song in pure Sinplus' style, even if the arrangements are more experimental. “Everything started with a piano riff, those kind of riff that make you dream.. we liked it so much we created 4 o 5 completely different versions out of it” explains Ivan and added "On the other hand the song concept was clear from the very beginning: The early bird catches the worm and after all, dreamers are actually the ones who never sleep." The full interview with Sinplus will be online in the next days. Stay tuned..

"Dreamers" ***Lyrics***


I’m wide awake
With open eyes
Under the milky way tonight

The castles built
Up in the air
Are no longer there

Something’s got a hold on me
Something new just won’t let me be
And it’s something real that makes
Feel again

WE’RE FALLING DOWN BELOW
ONLY LOVE WILL SHOW HOW FAR WE GO

You say we
Were in the dark
Only because of an open heart

Never give in
Never back down
To anything

I’m not gonna lose my mind
I am gonna stand my ground this time
Cause it’s something real
Cause it’s something real that makes
Feel again

WE’RE FALLING DOWN BELOW
ONLY LOVE WILL SHOW HOW FAR WE GO
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kiss The Sky" ***Lyrics***


Yes I am here, once again
Trying to feel what you call pain
We’re all still here, looking insane
living life in our personal lane

But let me tell you something
I look, I want, I get it
R- E-S- P-E- C -T
Just no one else than you and me

Should be free, should be wild, should be like a little child
Instead of killing innocence
We don’t need your ignorance
Don’t need the key we’ll break in

Keep on eat, big repeat
French revolution of burning hearts
This ship is taking me far away
From what I need

Don’t think I can believe you, no
I really need to leave you, yo
I've never mistreated you the way you be mistreating me
I just can not believe you

I'm here to kiss the sky
I don't listen to lies
If you just close your eyes
You can dream dream dream
and then see how you can live your life

A fantasy, I m riding the wave
They say you're crazy but they dont know the way
They want to make it just as bad as you do

Don’t think I can believe you, no
I really need to leave you, yo
I've never mistreated you the way you be mistreating me
I just can not believe you

I'm here to kiss the sky
I don't listen to lies
If you just close your eyes
You can dream dream dream
and then see how you can live your life

I'm here to kiss the sky
I don't listen to lies
If you just close your eyes
You can dream dream dream
you can feel feel feel
you can run run run
through the night night night

I'm here to kiss the sky
I don't listen to lies
If you just close your eyes
You can dream dream dream
you can feel feel feel
you can run run run
through the night night night

Earlier this year the English version of their single "Tieniti Forte" was chosen to be the official song for the European Championships Gymnastics Bern 2016.

Kate Ryan - "Comment Te Dire Adieu"
(Live @ ZDF Fernsehgarten, 26.06.2016)


"Comment te dire adieu" 

***Lyrics***


Sous aucun prétexte
Je ne veux
Avoir de réflexes
Malheureux
Il faut que tu m'expliques
Un peu mieux
Comment te dire adieu
Mon cœur de silex
Vite prend feu
Ton cœur de pyrex
Résiste au feu
Je suis bien perplexe
Je ne veux
Me résoudre aux adieux

Je sais bien qu'un ex amour n'a pas de chance, ou si peu
Mais pour moi un explication voudrait mieux

Sous aucun prétexte
Je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux
Derrière un kleenex
Je saurais mieux

Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adieu

Tu as mis a l'index nos nuits blanches, nos matins gris-bleu
Mais pour moi une explication voudrait mieux

Sous aucun prétexte
Je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux
Derrière un kleenex
Je saurais mieux

Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adieu
