Re: CANADA - WV79 SF2 #12: Howard Shore - The Fellowship

Thank you so much again for 4th place in the final and 5th place in the semi! After 4 DNQs, I never expected a comeback this big in the nearly 4 years I've been a part of the WV community

Big hugs and thanks to the following in the final:

:10::tn:::atti:is:::midt:sc:

And in the semi:

How I'm going to top this I'm not sure, but I want my 35th entry with Canada to be a good one

Re: CANADA - WV80 SF2 #03: Jesse Cook - Fall at Your Feet (ft. Danny Wilde)

WORLDVISION 80 HONOLULU :ca::west:


Jesse Cook - Fall at Your Feet (ft. Danny Wilde)


Video



Lyrics
I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call

And whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Know
I'll be waiting when you call

Hey, whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall

Whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
Whenever I fall (at your feet)
Whenever I fall

Re: CANADA - WV81: Feist - 1234

WORLDVISION 81 BRUSSELS :ca::be:


Feist - 1234


Video



Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for

Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, You know who you are

Sweetheart bitterheart now I can't tell you apart
Cozy and cold, put the horse before the cart

Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up to one little lie

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are

One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, who you are

For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart

Re: CANADA - CanadaSong 82: Battle of the Decades 2 NF (DDL 8/4)

Well... hopefully I helped to break tie with my votes :mrgreen: There are 4 songs that equally okay for me but I slightly prefer my top-2 because of grower potential.

Re: CANADA - WV82 SF3 #16: Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway

WORLDVISION 82 NYC :ca:::newy


Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway


Video



Lyrics
Love's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate
Break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I loved you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hills
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down, back up again
You're in my blood; I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough; this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long (gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah!)
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye (oh!)

There ain't no load that I can't hold
Road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long (gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah!)
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long (gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah!)
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long (gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah!)

Re: CANADA - WV82 SF3 #16: Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway

So glad this won! Didn't expect such an outcome. I discovered just recently that I have some kind of hidden passion towards 80-90's music, especially rocky one.

Re: CANADA - WV83

No regrets about my DNQ, for me it's often better not to qualify with a song I love rather than qualify with a song I don't believe in. Thanks for the support in at least getting me to 12th place - it was a very strong semi

WV83 is all set to go, the runner-up in the recent NF will be going hopefully to avenge Tom. All I can say is that it garnered 78 points

WORLDVISION 83 STOCKHOLM :ca:::sthm


Steppenwolf - Born to Be Wild


Video


From the film "Easy Rider"


Lyrics
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Re: CANADA - WV83 SF2 #11: Steppenwolf - Born to Be Wild

Thanks again for the support in the final, I wanted to finish left side and 14th place isn't bad for a piece of classic Canadian rock. A huge thanks especially to those who voted in REJU and saved me, I couldn't have done it without you!

We have our next song ready to go, and as I've said it is the third-place finisher in the Battle of the Decades NF.

Re: CANADA - WV84 SF2 #17: The Parachute Club - Rise Up

WORLDVISION 84 CHICAGO :ca::us:


The Parachute Club - Rise Up


Video




Lyrics
(Rise up rise up) Oh rise and show your power
(Rise up rise up) We're dancing into the sun
(Rise up rise up) It's time for celebration
(Rise up rise up) Spirits time has come

We want lovin' we want laughter again
We want heartbeat
We want madness to end, we want dancin'
We want to run in the streets
We want freedom to live in this peace
We want power, we want to make it okay
Want to be singin' at the end of the day
Children to breathe a new life
We want freedom to love who we please

(Rise up rise up) Oh rise and show your power
(Rise up rise up) Everybody is dancing into the sun
(Rise up rise up) It's time for celebration
(Rise up rise up) Spirits time has come

Talkin' 'bout the right time to be workin' for peace
Wantin' all the tension in the world to ease
His tightrope's gotta learn how to bend
We're makin' new plans
We're gonna start it again

(Rise up rise up) Oh rise and show your power
(Rise up rise up) Everybody is dancing into the sun
(Rise up rise up) It's time for celebration
(Rise up rise up) Spirits time has come

Rise up now

It's time, it's time, it's time

(Rise up rise up) Oh rise and show your power
(Rise up rise up) We're dancing into the sun
(Rise up rise up) It's time for celebration
(Rise up rise up) Everybody's time has come
Spirits time has come
Spirits time has come
