Just Once...

Just Once ( James Ingram )

I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay
Or head on out the door

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong?
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it

I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing whatever we've got going
And seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why the good times never last for very long
What are we doing wrong?
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
And make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it

Just once I want to understand
Why it always come back to good-bye
Why can't we get ourselves in hand?
And admit to one another
That we're no good with out the other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
Make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we can break through it
If we could just get to it

Just once

If we could get to it

Just Once...

Love is...

They say it's a river, that circles the earth
A beam of light shining to the edge of the universe
It conquers all, it changes everything

They say it's a blessing, they say it's a gift
They say it's a miracle
And I believe that it is
It conquers all, but it's a mystery

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And it fades away so easily

In this world we've created
In this place that we live
In the blink of an eye the darkness slips in
Love lights the world
Unites the lovers for eternity

Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain, and it turns it in-
To the beauty that remains

Look at this place
It was paradise, but now it's dying
I'll pray for love
I'll take my chances that it's not too late

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And fades away so easily

Oh oh oh

Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain, and it turns it in-
To the beauty that remains

Nobody Knows...

I pretended I'm glad you went away
These four walls closin' more every day
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Why didn't I say
The things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a tumblin' down
I can say it so clearly
But you're nowhere around

The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
And I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me

I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
And I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm tremblin' inside and nobody knows it but me
I lie awake it's a quarter past three
I'm screamin' at night as if I thought
You'd hear me
Yeah my heart is callin' you
And nobody knows it but me

How blue can I get
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now you know
I'll be lovin' you still

The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
And I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me

Tomorrow mornin' I'm hitting the dusty road
Gonna find you wherever, ever you might go
I'm gonna unload my heart and hope you come back to me
Said when the nights are lonely...

The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
And I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me

Sunshine

Saw Sunshine the other day, and what can I say? It had more of an impact as a preview than it did as a movie. I really wanted to like this movie to its silver comprised film, but sad to say the hype that the preview built up just didn't live up to its potential.

The Films premise is that for some strange yet unexplained reason our sun is already dying. Its brightness has decreased by so much that it subjects the earth to yet another ice age. This is all in context however as you don't even get to see earth until the end of the film. Now the earth in desperation launches a mission to the sun that plans to have a team blow up a massive bomb with a combined density comparable to "Manhattan" inside the sun to have it re-ignite into a brand spanking new one. There is a snag however, as the mission apparently never makes it. So they launch another one (the Icarus 2) on an identical mission with an identical bomb. Basically thats the films onset, and the poo starts to hit the fan when on their final approach to the mission area (the sun) they receive a distress signal from the first ship. They argue whether or not to go, and it all falls upon the smart physicist of the team to determine whether or not they go. Blah blah... Long story short, the earth can no longer create Manhattan sized bombs as the planet can only apparently yield two, so the physicist decides that a second bomb may come in handy as there are sooooo many variables to consider and that the bombs themselves are untested. People die on the way to the first ship, and even more people die in the process of leaving the first ship. Hum.... Eventually everyone dies but the earth is saved (you start to see that a mile a way).

The actors were actually well played (I'm no pro critic) but Chris Evans carried his character well, you end up rooting for his character to live through the ordeals he encounters, and you have to admire how his character bites the dust eventually. Michelle Yeoh could've had more screen time, I also enjoyed her character but found that she lacked a bit more screen and talk time. The lead actor was also adept, but Chris Evans ends up stealing a lot of the scenes because his character just plays cooler that the lead ones physicist role.

I liked the film in a sense that it had promise, it had potential, but somewhat lacked in execution and plot development. Still watchable though, but its no event horizon or anything, though I strongly felt that at times it was trying to be.
