Matisyahu - Youth

Hey you! Today´s clip is one of the songs we really enjoyed last decade:

Youth

Some of them come now

Some of them running

Some of them looking for fun

Some of them looking for a way out of confusion

Some of them don't know what to be

Some of them don't know where to go

Some of them trust their instincts that something's missing from the show

Some don't fit society,

Insides are crying low

Some of them teachers squash the flame before it had a chance to grow

Some of them embers do glow

Them charcoal, hushed and low

Some of them come with the hunger suppressed, not fed

Them feel a death blow

Young man, control in your hand

Slam your fist on the table and make your demand

Take a stand

Fan a fire for the flame of the youth

You´ve got the freedom to choose

Better make the right move

Young man, the power's in your hand

Slam your fist on the table and make your demand

You gotta make the right move

"youth is the engine of the world" x2

Storm the halls of vanity

Focus your energy

Into a laser beam

Streaming shattered light

Unites to pierce

Between the seams

And it seems

In a world open

Peering, the children see

Rapid fire for your mind

The "truth" is just a lie

They rub me the wrong way

Then say their way or fall behind

Seven subjects disconnect

Left out the concept as to

Why there's a spiritual emptiness

So them youth can get vexed

Skip class and get wrecked

Filled with beer and cigarettes

And take home and make checks.

Young man, control in your hand

Slam your fist on the table and make your demand

Take a stand

Fan a fire for the flame of the youth

You´ve got the freedom to choose

You better make the right move

Young man, the power's in your hand

Slam your fist on the table and make your demand

You better make the right move

You´ve got the freedom to choose

Better make the right move

You´ve got the freedom to choose

Young man, control in your hand

Slam your fist on the table and make your demand

Take a stand

Fan a fire for the flame of the youth

You´ve got the freedom to choose

Better make the right move

Young man, the power's in your hand

Slam your fist on the table and make your demand

You better make the right move

"youth is the engine of the world" x5

Juventude

Alguns vêm agora

Alguns vêm correndo

Alguns vêm procurando por diversão

Alguns procurando uma maneira de sair da confusão

Alguns não sabem o que ser

Alguns não sabem aonde ir

Alguns confiam em seus instintos de que algo está faltando no show

Alguns não se encaixam na sociedade,

por dentro choram baixo

Alguns dos professores deles abafam a chama antes que tivesse uma chance de crescer

Algumas das brasas incandecem

são carvão,silencioso e fraco

Alguns vêm com a fome suprimida, não saciada

Eles sentem um golpe de morte

Jovem homem, o controle está em sua mão

Bata com a mão na mesa e faça sua exigência

Tome uma postura

Alimente a chama do fogo da juventude

Você tem a liberdade para escolher

É melhor fazer a escolha certa

Jovem homem, o poder está em suas mãos

Bata com a mão na mesa e faça sua exigência

É melhor fazer a escolha certa

"a juventude é o motor do mundo" x2

Tumultue os corredeores da vaidade

Concentre sua energia

Em um raio laser

Corrente de luz despedaçada

Une-se para penetrar

Entre as camadas

E parece

Em um mundo aberto

Observando atentamente,as crianças vêem

Fogo rápido para sua mente

A "verdade" é só uma mentira

Eles me criticam da maneira errada

Dizem para fazermos como eles ou que fiquemos pra trás

Sete indivíduos disconectam

Deixaram de fora o conceito com relação ao

Por que há um vazio espiritual

Para que a juventude possa ser contestada

"Cabulam" aula e são vencidos na vida

Cheios de cerveja e cigarros

E levam para casa e fazem cheques

Jovem homem, o controle está em sua mão

Bata com a mão na mesa e faça sua exigência

Tome uma postura

Alimente a chama do fogo da juventude

Você tem a liberdade para escolher

É melhor fazer a escolha certa

Jovem homem, o poder está em suas mãos

Bata com a mão na mesa e faça sua exigência

É melhor fazer a escolha certa

Liberdade para escolher

Melhor fazer a escolha certa

Tem a liberdade para escolher

Jovem homem, o controle está em sua mão

Bata com a mão na mesa e faça sua exigência

Tome uma postura

Alimente a chama do fogo da juventude

Você tem a liberdade para escolher

É melhor fazer a escolha certa

Jovem homem, o poder está em suas mãos

Bata com a mão na mesa e faça sua exigência

É melhor fazer a escolha certa

"a juventude é o motor do mundo" x5

Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around the World

To real begginers: Olá! Tudo bem pessoal? Pensando em melhorar o inglês? Uma boa maneira é assistir a vídeos e curtir músicas para ganhar vocabulário e pronúncia.

Sextas tem clips aqui no Three Little Birds and this week, STAND BY ME, but a version with the fantastic PLAYING FOR A CHANGE.

Stand By Me

John Lennon

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me, oh now now
Stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
(guitar)
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,
Oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me.

Avril Lavigne's 'Alice In Wonderland' Video Is 'Haunting,'

Today´s clip is inspired on Easter...the great Alice, by Avril Lavigne. Soundtrack of the movie - Alice in the Wonderland...by the way, it was the first "adult" book I read. Mommy had a hardcover version for adults and I read it when a child...love the story. Also, my godmother took me to watch the play "on ice" and I was scared...the Queen, the cards...I love this story so much and thanks to the BUNNY in the story (always late...) the clip is in the mood of Easter!

Lyric:

Alice

Avril Lavigne

Tripping out
Spinning around
I'm underground
I fell down
yeah, I fell down
I'm freaking out
So, where am I now?
Upside down
And I can't stop it now
It can't stop me now
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll get by
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I won't cry
I found myself
In Wonderland
Get back on
My feet again
Is this real?
Is it pretend?
I'll take a stand
Until the end
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll get by
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll survive
When the world's crushing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I won't cry
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll get by
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll survive
When the world's crushing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
And I won't cry
