I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye....

Marco... Polo. Looks interesting... If I only looked that good in Speedos... wait I do. Lol!
ReplyDeletewe all do, we all do... at least in our imaginary worlds :)
DeleteMARCO POLO could save the, so far, horrid Autumn 2014 TV season!
THE LAST GOODBYE is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think I may stay a while longer and listen to it again :)
I tried two times... and I just can't find any melody in it :( although I do like Billy's voice!
DeleteTake the cotton wool out of your ears :)
DeleteOn repeat for the sixth time and still can't catch any melody :) but I do love the lyrics and the guitars in it. Enya's MAY IT BE is still an unbeatable song for me....
DeleteMarco Polo obviously misses the family rating. Cart-wheeling nudes pretty much shelved that one.
ReplyDeleteDan Stevens in anything is marvelous.
I don't know why but I find Jai's body disturbing or maybe it's the stripes?(sigh)
Damn Hobbit song won't play here... oh well. Thank you Dezz! Have a good evening.
Methinks there is no rating at Netflix :) since it is not a TV channel but a paid service :)
DeleteWe do adore both Dan and Jai! Blonds are in, brunettes are out :)
By the way - new Kendi song is great!!
Deleteit is, although I put it there because of the amazing video, she is so pretty in it :)
DeleteNo problem. :)))
Deletehope to have a new video featured up there soon... it's not easy with today's music being so trashy and shitty... pardon my French....
DeleteMan, the video won't play for me either :(
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dixie. Those stripes are distracting. He should just take them off ;)
Don't know why, it plays for me :) I will try to put another one.
DeleteHe did have nude scenes in SPARTACUS :)
not working for me either
Deleteit seems the studio has been taking the video down from YouTube, so I've added an official one, but it is a snippet, not the whole song
DeleteHot dang! Theresa has solved the issue - he should take the damn stripes off!! That would work for me...
DeleteWhile the song was a bit sleepy, I do like it overall! It will be a great fit in the movie!
Delete@Dixie
Deleteyep, strip the stripes! We couldn't agree more
@Theresa
Deleteyep, it has no melody whatsoever. It's not bad, but after listening to it about 20 times I still cannot repeat the melody nor the chorus
Forty thieves has caught my interest. I can't wait to see Harley Quinn in action. Can't get the tunes either Dez but thanks for the seats.
ReplyDeleteDeets got auto corrected to seats. Stupid computer.
DeleteI've no idea what deets are so it's better with the seats :)
DeleteI've put a new video, the studio has taken the previous ones down from YouTube
I'm looking forward to Marco Polo. Video won't play, but I liked the clip you showed before. :)
ReplyDeletethat is why people should be here between 7PM and 7.30PM Central European Time when I'm posting so that they wouldn't miss videos before the studios take them down from YouTube :) I've put a new, short one, which is official,
DeleteI don't know Dan Stevens, so I couldn't say who would be better for the role. They look a lot alike, though.
ReplyDeleteDan was the star of DOWNTON ABBEY :) And a much much much better actor than Hunksworth junior
DeleteI will watch anything and everything that a flash of that beautiful hunk of a man. Liam Hemsworth. ..yum!!!
ReplyDeleteI must confess I much prefer his big brother Kiss Hunksworth
DeleteI could use a couple of hobbits now. Being snowed under and all.
ReplyDeleteyou're having snow? Give us pics!
DeleteI like that song of the Hobbit! Might buy the sountrack for once!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
you have snippets of all the songs at YouTube :)
