Seal - Kiss From A Rose

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.

You became the light on the dark side of me.

Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

But did you know,

That when it snows,

My eyes become large and

The light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,

I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.

Ooh,

The more I get of you,

The stranger it feels, yeah.

And now that your rose is in bloom.

A light hits the gloom on the gray.

There is so much a man can tell you,

So much he can say.

You remain,

My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby

To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.

Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know,

That when it snows,

My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,

I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.

Ooh, the more I get of you

The stranger it feels, yeah

Now that your rose is in bloom.

A light hits the gloom on the gray.

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,

I've been kissed by a rose

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,

...And if I should fall along the way

I've been kissed by a rose

...been kissed by a rose on the gray.

There is so much a man can tell you,

So much he can say.

You remain

My power, my pleasure, my pain.

To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah

Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.

But did you know,

That when it snows,

My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,

I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.

Ooh, the more I get of you

The stranger it feels, yeah

Now that your rose is in bloom,

A light hits the gloom on the gray.

Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray

Ooh, the more I get of you

The stranger it feels, yeah

And now that your rose is in bloom

A light hits the gloom on the gray

Now that your rose is in bloom,

A light hits the gloom on the gray.

Well I never pray

But tonight I’m on my knees yeah

I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah

I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now

But the airways are clean and there’s nobody singing to me now

No change, I can’t change

I can’t change, I can’t change

But I’m here in my mind

I am here in my mind

And I’m a million different people

from one day to the next

How to convert 3GP video file to WMV or AVI format?

My HTC phone saves videos in 3gp format but I wanted to have them in some more portable format (wmv or avi). I found that Prism Video File Converter does the job. It is free for personal use and can be downloaded from here.

Just select 3gp files, drag and drop them to Prism converter's list of input files and press Convert button.

I usually set Video bit rate to maximum (16384 kbps).

Quotations

Arrogance is when you NEED other people to tell you how amazing you are. Confidence is when you know how amazing you are BECAUSE the people around you tell you so.

Gary Kaskowitz

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. 

Albert Einstein

It's not about where you're from, it's about where you're going.

Hector Lavoe - Periodico De Ayer

Tu amor es un periódico de Ayer

que nadie más procura ya leer

sensacional cuando salió en la madrugada

y a mediodía ya noticia confirmada

y en la tarde materia olvidada.

Tu amor es un periódico de ayer

fue el titular que alcanzó página entera

por eso ya te conocen donde quiera

tu nombre ha sido un recorte que guardé

y en le álbum del olvido lo pegué.

Tu amor es un periódico de ayer

que nadie más procura ya leer

el comentario que nació en la madrugada

y fuimos ambos la noticia propagada

y en la tarde materia olvidada.

Tu amor es un periódico de ayeeer...

Y para qué leer un periódico de ayer

Oye Noticia Que todos saben,

Ya yo no quiero leer

Tu no serviste pa' nada mami,

y al safacon yo te eche.

Echa camina, apartate de mi vera,

apartate de mi lado

Tu eres el diario la prensa,

radio bemba radio bemba

The Killers - When You Were Young

You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful boy to

To save your from your old ways

You play forgiveness

Watch it now, here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus

But he talks like a gentlemen

Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain

I don't know

Higher now than ever before

I know we can make it if we take it slow

Let's take it easy

Easy now, watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline

On the back of a hurricane that started turning

When you were young

When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes 

And see the place where you used to live

When you were young

They say the devil's water - it ain't so sweet

You don't have to drink right now

But you can dip your feet

Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful boy to

To save you from your old ways

You play forgiveness

Watch it now, here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus

But he talks like a gentlemen

Like you imagined when you were young

When you were young

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus

But more than you'll ever know
