It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids jingle belling,
and everyone telling you,
“Be of good cheer,”
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

There’ll be parties for hosting,
marshmallows for toasting and
caroling out in the snow.
there’ll be scary ghost stories and
tales of the glories of Christmases
long, long ago.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
There’ll be much mistletoeing
and hearts will be glowing,
when loved ones are near.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Sing your hearts out and dance to the beat of this music at the same time, let your hearts dance with joy. Merry Christmas everyone!

The list of soundtracks of the Christmas film of Walt Disney is a list of only two singers on it. The album is composed of 15 songs with 14 songs by Alan Silvestri and a song from Andrea Bocelli. Amazingly, the compilation is a list of heartwarming and uplifting songs. The album is a perfect mix for you to enjoy the holidays and feel it more and let it move your soul in a good way. The only song sung by Andrea Bocelli in the album is entitled “God bless us everyone”. It speaks of humanity’s kindness and good nature and how it could lead to making everyone feel blessed and lucky. The song rekindles the goodness of the Lord and how everyone is created in His image and likeness.

God bless everyone – Andrea Bocelli

Let the stars in the sky
Remind us of man’s compassion
Let us love till we die and
God Bless us everyone

In your heart there’s a light
As bright as a star in heaven
Let it shine through the night and
God bless us everyone

Till each child is fed,
Till all men are free
Till the world becomes a family

Star by star in the sky and
Kindness by human kindness
Let me love till I die and
God bless us everyone

God bless everyone! Merry Christmas. J

The infamous chipmunks trio is back on the airwaves singing with their cute, squeaking, and melodious voices. But this time, a rival group is beating them head to head and it is an all girls show. The group’s name is called The Chipettes. The girl band is also a trio with members namely: Brittany, Eleanor and Jeanette. The sequel is entitled “Alvin and the Chipmunks II: The Squeakquel.  In the movie’s official trailer, the Chipettes were introduced singing Beyonce’s hit single, All The Single Ladies. The Chipettes did a bubbly rendition of the song. As expected, they sang it with a squeaking voice and did I mention, cuuuute (I  have to put an emphasis to this word) and lovely. The movie is directed by Betty Thomas and the voices of the Chipettes are Christina Applegate (Brittany), Amy Poehler (Eleanor), and Anna Faris (Jeanette). Here is the lyrics of the song:

All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies

Now put your hands up
Up in the club, we just broke up
I’m doing my own little thing
Decided to dip and now you wanna trip
Cause another brother noticed me

I’m up on him, he up on me
Don’t pay him any attention
Just cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can’t be mad at me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Got me tighter in my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup
I can care less what you think

I need no permission, did I mention
Don’t pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn and now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

Don’t treat me to the things of the world
I’m not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve

Here’s a man that makes me then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms, say I’m the one you own
If you don’t, you’ll be alone
And like a ghost Ill be gone

All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up, oh, oh, oh

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

Beyonce’s second single, All The Single Ladies is very fitting for the Chipettes group since it talks about women. It has a sense of women empowerment. It also features the popular dance craze which the lady chipmunks performed adorably making the movie more appealing and a lot more interesting and entertaining. This performance by the Chipettes is a must-watch scene on the movie. Hurry now and start booking for tickets for the premiere of the movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks II: The Squeakquel and you’re in for a fun ride. I’m pretty sure everyone especially the kids will be going out of the moviehouse suffering the Last Song Syndrome (LSS) -  singing tunes of the different songs featured especially All The Single Ladies.

Filter is back on the airwaves creating a new image on the music scene. This time, the band explored on the soft side of their music career rather than the usual heavy. Fans of the band were divided based on their preference with Filter playing mellow than heavy metal.

Here’s a link to a YouTube video of their single, Fades Like a Photograph. Click here.

Fades Like A Photograph by Filter

Have you ever seen the stars at night and wonder

Why so bright (so bright)

Have you ever seen the sunset on a cloudy night

And wonder why tonight

And maybe there’s just one time with you

I want to remember for eternity, for eternity

Chorus

Photographs taken like memories of you they disappear

Colors of your eyes they fade with time

They just can’t stay clear, yeah!!

Fades like a photograph

Just want to bring you back

Have you ever seen the bottom of the ocean

From a plane, what a sight

Have you ever seen the sunrise

In the snow cap mountains from twilight

And maybe there’s just one time with you

I want to remember for eternity, for eternity

Chorus

Photographs taken like memories of you they disappear

Colors of your eyes they fade with time

They just can’t stay clear

Photographs taken like memories of you they disappear

Colors of your eyes they fade with time

They just can’t stay clear, yeah!!

Fades like a photograph

Just want to bring you back

Yeah, yeah whoaaa ooooh

Fades Like A Photograph is a mellow song which totally represents the gist of the movie having all the memories fade in an instant along with the end of the earth. It is a heartbreaking song which reminds each one of us the beauty of appreciating things while still having them and the gratitude one must have just because they have one more day to live. The song is quite mellow and poignant nevertheless, Filter did not dismay their musical career despite the changing course. So, before the earth shook and end, listen and appreciate this song.
