It's been a week

Well ... Just to make a brief thing for tonight ... I'll put some Toto videos for tonight I guess... Descriptions will have to wait, I need the sleep for tonight ... 

So what Toto songs should I include? I'll put 3 ... Two my previous favorites and my not-so-new-but-newer-than-the-other-favorites song.

First 'Hold The Line' an instant classic in rock music... Toto shows themselves with romantic ballads mostly ... and some slow 'dance-able' rock songs .... But behind those tracks there only stands one: 'Hold The Line' an amazing song that not only captivates those from the generation this band appeared, but has managed to stay up to par with newer generations ... Well rock and some of the metal fans newer generations. This song alone is reason to like Toto ... (of course they have many more reasons)

This was the first song that I liked from Toto(I liked Africa before, but never cared enough to find out who performed it so that doesn't count). Besides radio listening, a band in school prom decide to play it during the last show of my last year at school (and they closed the Christmas show with AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell' ... what a nice memory I must admit) ... Anycase, two days after that I was listening to the classic songs from this band ...

Hold The Line - Toto

(Album: Toto)

Hold The Line

It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you'll stay till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you do

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine 
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you do

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine 
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you do

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time

It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way that you make me feel
You see
It's all about the way you do the things you do
The way you do it
You've got to hold it
Hold it

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time

Second, 'Pamela'. This song is one of the songs I previously mentioned in those songs that got Toto famous for being a 'dance-able' rock song. The image is simple: guy who doesn't want to forget a girl who is not physically near him. Solution? Simpler: right a rock song for the girl! Well I hope this  imaginary relationship worked out in the end, for he created an amazing song just for her.

Pamela - Toto

(Album: The Seventh One)

Side by side
I'll be yours forever
Yes I will
Rain or shine
Any kind of weather
Any kind

There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
Let's take what's getting old and make it new

Eye to eye
It's a blinding confrontation
I said you and I
are a deadly combination

So don't start mixing truth with jealousy
The road we're on is clear as far as I can see

Pamela
Don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time
Pamela
There is no second chance
For the one who leaves it all behind

Black and white
Always go together
And on day and night
You're the precious jewel I treasure

Wanting every part of you is not a crime
Could it be that you're the one who's wrong this time

Pamela
Don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time
Pamela
There is no second second chance
For the one who leaves it all behind
Leave all

Oh Pamela
Thousands of miles away but always in my heart

Pamela
So don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time
Pamela
There is no second chance
For the one who leaves it all behind

Pamela
Don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time
Pamela
There is no second chance
For the one who leaves it all
Leave all beind

I still love you little girl
I still love you
And you know it little Pamela
I still love you yes I do
And you know it little Pamela
Come on
Oh little Pamela

Thirdly, and the last from Toto for a while: 'Stop Loving You'. This one can also be included in the same group as 'Pamela', but has impregnated much more feeling into it. This is the kind of songs that make you wonder and think of those moments you want to see come true or that have already happened. Amazing song. Thanks to one of my best friends for this one ... (in case she ever sees this)

Stop Loving You - Toto

(Album: The Seventh One)

Reflections in my mind
Thought I can't define
My heart is racing and the night goes on
I can almost hear a laugh
Coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings
Well intented lies
Contemplainting alibies 
Is it really you or is it me I'm blaming?
A distant memory flashes over me
Even though you're gone I feel you deep inside

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

I can't stop loving you 
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you girl

There a window in a heart
I've tried to look through from the start
You're never really sure what someone else is thinking
Someone's broken something new
Another altered point of view
Just a certain someone's conscience playing
I had it in my hand
I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name
Trying to catch a shooting star
What seems so close can't be far
I'm living in a dream that's never ending

I can't stop loving you 
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you girl

Dancing with that look that's in your eyes

I can't stop loving you 
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you girl

I can't stop loving you 
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you
Loving you
Yeah yeah yeah
Loving you 
I wonder when I'll stop loving you
Yeah

Wait! Thought that was it?! Well ... here's an extra ... A song that was shown to me recently (thanks: You know who you are). This song is something I got late into, but probably the best song I've heard in the last months (I'm currently addicted to this song, with about 68 repetitions since I've adquired it... And I don't even begin to feel tired about it ...*) . I love this song, that's all I can say... But for the video, well the guy does what I thought of the song: do whatever you want to do without caring for anyone who sees you (not that I'd be able to do it ... but the intention is what counts right?) ...

*I recognized the addiction, but I don't have a problem with it.

Trains To Brazil - Guillemots

Aaahhhhh
aaaahhhhaaa
aaaah
You're feelin old

Its 1 o clock on a friday morning 
I'm trying to keep my back from the wall
The prophets and their bombs have had another success
And i'm wondering why we bother at all

And i think of you on cold winter mornings
Darling they remind me of when we were at school
Nothing really mattered when you called out my name
In fact, nothing really mattered at all

And i think about how long it will take them to blow us away
But i won't get me down, I'm just thankful to be facing the day

Cos days don't get you far when you're gone

It's five o clock on a Friday morning 
one hundred telephones shake and ring
And one of them is from someone who knew you.......

And i still think of you on cold winter mornings
Darling they'll still remind me of when we were at school
When they could never have persuaded me that lives like yours
were the hands of these eronious fools

And to those of you who moan your lives through one day to the next
Well let them take you next
Cos you live and be thankful you're here

See it could be you tomorrow next year
