„Sunraven” by Grand Magus
2025-01-18

Историята за героя Beowulf се развива в езическа Скандинавия през V и VI век след Христа, съгласно едноименната староанглийска епична поема. Тя се състои от 3182 стиха в традиционен старогермански стил с характерна  алитерация и това е едно от най-важните и най-често превеждани произведения на староанглийската литература, включително от J.R.R.Tolkien.

…До земите на гаутите (Geats, Götar, Goths) в Южна Швеция, където управлява крал Hygelac, достига вестта за голяма беда, застигнала датчаните. Най-прославеният от неговите войни Beowulf заявява, че иска да помогне на Hrothgar, краля на датчаните, където всяка вечер в залата Heorot на неговия дворец чудовището Grendel разкъсва хора от свитата на краля. Beowulf побеждава Grendel с голи ръце, след което се справя и с майката на Grendel с гигантски меч, който намира в леговището ? на дъното на езеро. По-късно Beowulf става крал на гаутите и управлява в мир в продължение на петдесет зими. Един ден избягал роб се промъква в леговището на дракон, който отдавна спи върху куп погребани съкровища. Робът открадва златна чаша. Драконът се събужда и, разгневен заради липсата на чашата, напада народа на гаутите. Beowulf решава да последва дракона до леговището му в Earnanæs, но само Wiglaf, се осмелява да се присъедини към него. Beowulf най-накрая убива дракона, но е смъртоносно ранен в битката. Той е кремиран и в негова чест е издигната надгробна могила край морето…

Тази история намира отзвук в наши дни в най-новия албум на шведската heavy metal група, или по-точно това е триото GRAND MAGUS, като десетото заглавие в тяхната дискография се казва „SUNRAVEN“.

Ето какво споделя певецът и китаристът JANNE "JB" CHRISTOFFERSSON: 

„Албумът е за Beowulf и Grendel. По същество Sunraven е Beowulf и това е мое собствено изобретение. Някои от песните са написани за и от гледната точка на Beowulf, а други са съчинени за и от гледната точка на Grendel, чудовището, срещу което той се изправя в Дания. Това този път някак си ме насочи и пренесе през процеса на създаване на текстовете. Никога преди не бях правил нещо подобно. Винаги съм бил очарован от тази приказка. Тези митове и легенди са за всички основни неща, за които пеем – живот, смърт, слава, безчестие, любов, омраза, преодоляване на трудности, изправяне пред дори невъзможното противопоставяне“ – завършва JANNE CHRISTOFFERSSON.
 
Албума „SUNRAVEN“ ще чуем в предаването “Картини от една изложба®” на  програма “Хоризонт” на БНР, в събота, 18 януари, след новините от 22.00 ч.

LYRICS:

Skybound

When you see me
I'll be skybound
Touching glory on my way
Feeling so strong
I can't go wrong
Surging power in my veins

'Cause the last time that you'll feel me is at dawn
It's the last time that you'll see me then I'm gone

You know I'm skybound
I'll never falter
Oh yeah, I'm skybound
To the hereafter

Savage yearning
Blood and fire
No restraint as fury grows
Filled with hunger for a new world
Watch me soar to evermore

It's the last time that you'll see me still in chains
I am leaving but I'll greet you once again

You know I'm skybound
I'll never falter
Oh yeah, I'm skybound
To the hereafter

You know I'm skybound
I'll never falter
Oh yeah, I'm skybound
To the hereafter

The Wheel of Pain

Wide the stride of the giants
Strong their feet on the ground
Sorcery is their science
To reach their throne
I must hold my own
In a land never known

At the wheel of pain
Growing strong again
Learning to fly
Through the mists of pain

I will learn true defiance
Standing tall in the end
Cleansed of doubt and reliance
Weak's not strong
I will prove them wrong
With my blood, flesh and bone

At the wheel of pain
Growing strong again
Learning to fly
Through the mists of pain
Never fail again
Rise ever high
Break the wheel of pain

At the wheel of pain
Growing strong again
Learning to fly
Through the mists of pain
Never fail again
Rise ever high
Break the wheel of pain

Sunraven

I will keep you safe from harm
When fear and sorrow bring you down
Never fear the warning of a battle
Soon to come

I'll be your Sunraven
A safe haven
I'm your spear
Sunraven

In rampant strife and hunger war and pain
Let me be your warrior to ease the strain
Wings to give you shelter
Drive out the falling rain

I'll be your Sunraven
A safe haven
I'm your spear
Sunraven

I'll be your Sunraven
A safe haven
I'm your spear
Sunraven

Winter Storms

I know the difference is inside me
Never to belong
Collecting memories of ashes
A broken soul a broken home

A savage heart unleashed on the world
I'll quench my thirst tonight and drink to loneliness
My solace lies within the frozen emptiness

Winter storms keep me warm
Blackened sky healing me
Northern winds make me burn within
Winter storms calling me

They will cry out for a hero
No one will answer to that call
My seed of horror growing stronger
A mighty shield a battle wall

Bring any man you want I'll kill them all
My sorrow brings me hate to strike and make them fall
No strength will stand against my hunger as it grows

Winter storms keep me warm
Blackened sky healing me
Northern winds make me burn within
Winter storms calling me

Savage heart - horror bound
Raging hate - killing ground
Shadow born - terror crowned
Watch me rise, rise and kill

Winter storms keep me warm
Blackened sky healing me
Northern winds make me burn within
Winter storms calling me
Winter storms calling me home

The Black Lake

They dive
Into the deep
They embrace
In a dance to the bottom of the lake

They dive
Into the deep
They embrace
In a dance to the bottom of the lake

No sound
A silent struggle
Revenge
Is that death you're fighting against?

The sword
Has lost its bite
It's too late
They must say their last goodbye

Still, wait
Another blade
Made for giants
It will seal, seal your fate

The prize
A bloodied head
Brought back
Now a king to be crowned beyond the grave

The prize
A bloodied head
Brought back
Now a king to be crowned beyond the grave

Hour of the Wolf

Lonely
You've been cold
Fading
Growing old
There's no fire
There's no flame within your soul

Grieving
Taking hold
Weakness
Rules you all
Searching meaning
Finding scraps within your soul

You pray for a devil
Never lost never found
You were never a rebel
Won't find the truth just twisted lies
At the hour of the wolf

Hating
You fear the night
Darkness
Will kill your light
So entitled
But tonight you'll feel the bite

You pray for a devil
Never lost never found
You were never a rebel
Won't find the truth just twisted lies
At the hour of the wolf

Grendel

The great hall fell silent
No guard on duty tonight
The fading embers
Reflected in his eyes

The sound of laughter drove him insane
A savage hunger
Their sleep driven out by hate

Grendel
He'll eat your heart
He's Grendel
Tear you apart

Too many nights
They were haunted by his call
So many slain
No choice but to flee the hall

He's got no remorse and no regret
Consumed by rage
They will never forget

Grendel
He'll eat your heart
He's Grendel
Tear you apart

We have to find a grip of iron
A warrior without equal
The hero of the north

He's Grendel
A final fight
He's Grendel
You'll die tonight
He'll fight you
He'll haunt your dreams

To Heorot

Fiery eyes and weapons are gathered
We will join in a quest to the south
Trust the path that we have been given
We will aid our brothers in arms
Thundering hooves break the stillness
Hold fast and press ever on
The clash of armor in the starlight
We must charge on until dawn

Ride
Ride
Speed through stars and moon

Deserted and forgotten
A ruin left in the storm
I'll sleep and wait until midnight
Then our ruse will shape into form
Leave my weapons here beside me
Taking on this evil unarmed
Fierce and tall it towers above me
Iron grip will tear off his arm

Die
Crush
Raven wine will stain the ground

Ride
Ride

The End Belongs to You

I'm defeated, lost in time
There's no way for me to survive
It's a decision only you can make
I will abide it though my hearts at stake

The end belongs to you
The end belongs to you

My crime was longing, a beast forlorn
Through all the carnage my want grew strong
A hateful soul is by your feet
Final warning let your strike be swift

The end belongs to you
The end belongs to you

The end belongs to you
The end belongs to you
The end belongs to you
The end belongs to you

„Tunhuang” by Kitaro
2025-01-11

През 629 г. след Христа будисткият монах Genjo Sanzo (Xuanzang на китайски) предприема пътуване до Индия през пустинята Гоби, в резултат на което донася в Китай 657 санскритски текста и основава школата Faxian.

Вдъхновен от неговите приключения и значимостта на приноса му за развитието на цяла Източна Азия, японският музикант KITARO се включва в подготовката на документалната поредица на телевизия NHK. 

Тази поредица е озаглавена „SILK ROAD”, или „ПО ПЪТЯ НА КОПРИНАТА“, чието начало е на 17 април 1980 г., след личната намеса на две от най-влиятелните фигури на тогавашен Китай – Чжоу Ен Лай и Дън Сяо Пин. 

Филмите разказват за влиянието на страните от Китай до Рим за развитието на световната цивилизация и неочаквано дори за създателите си постигат изключителен успех сред телевизионната аудитория.

В третия албум с музика към сериала „ПО ПЪТЯ НА КОПРИНАТА“ KITARO се спира на величието на TUNHUANG, или ДУНХУАН („концентрирано великолепие“ в превод от китайски), оазис в пустинята Такламакан, провинция Гансу в Северозападен Китай. 

По време на снимките с екипа на телевизия NHK той е силно впечатлен от разкритите през 1900 г. 500 древни пещери Могаоку (на Запад са известни като пещерите Могао), но местните хора ги наричат също така Циенфодун (Хиляда статуи на Буда).  

Тук са открити над 45 хиляди ръкописа, наред с каноничните текстове  има оригинални коментари, апокрифни книги, молитвеници, конфуциански и даоистки съчинения, несториански християнски текстове, литературни паметници, свързани с макиавейството и дори с юдеизма, сведения за управлението на китайските императори, административни документи, антологии, речници на специфични редки думи, календари, калиграфски ексерсизи.

Всъщност първите писмени сведения се свързват с император У от династия Хан (206 г. пр. н. е. – 220 г. след Христа), но по-нови археологически разкопки доказват, че историята на  ДУНХУАН води чак до времената на династия Ся (ХХІ-ХVІ в. пр. н. е.). В една от пещерите Могао е открита и най-старата печатна книга в света – „Диамантената сутра“ (868), принтирана с помощта на дървени блокчета.

Но не само ръкописите впечатляват в ДУНХУАН, защото в пещерите Могао са открити безценни стенописи и скулптури, включително най-старата нарисувана с мастило „мандала“ (ІХ – Х в. сл.Хр.), и поради всичко това обектът е включен през 1987 г. в Списъка на ЮНЕСКО за паметници на световното културно и природно наследство. 

И така, на 11 януари, събота, след новините от 22.00 ч. по програма “Хоризонт” на БНР, в предаването “Картини от една изложба®” ще чуем ремастерирана версия на албума „TUNHUANG”, или „ДУНХУАН“, на японския музикант KITARO, възпроизведена от грамофонна плоча.

„Moon Music“ by Coldplay
2025-01-04

На  4 януари програма "Хоризонт" на БНР отбелязва 53 години история, с пожелание за нови творчески успехи като информационен лидер в българското ефирно пространство! 

Същевременно на тази дата ще бъде първото ни издание през новата 2025 година, при това с номер 1000 на вълните на програма „Хоризонт“.

За юбилейното хилядно предаване намислихме да звучи музика за по-широк кръг слушатели, и това е най-новият албум на популярната британска рок група COLDPLAY, озаглавен „MOON MUSIC“ („ЛУННА МУЗИКА“), и издаден през октомври 2024 г. 

Пълното заглавие на този албум е „MUSIC OF THE SPHERES VOL. II: MOON MUSIC“, това е десетият студиен албум в тяхната дискография, и е нещо като втора част от проекта „MUSIC OF THE SPHERES“ („МУЗИКА ОТ СФЕРИТЕ“), като първата е със заглавието „From Earth with Love“ („От Земята с любов“) от 2021 г. 

„MOON MUSIC“ обикновено го описват като поп рок албум с музикални влияния от фънк, афробийт и електронна музика, в който намира място участието на вездесъщия BRIAN ENO.

Така пред нас звучи история за това как се събуждаш сутрин и се чувстваш ужасно от себе си, ужасно от света – депресиран, изолиран, отделен, сам и неспособен да бъдеш себе си. Чрез албума това е пътуване към усещането за пълната противоположност в края на деня, за пълна с положителна енергия нагласа. Основната тема му е посланието за универсалната любов, наситено с надежда и оптимизъм. 

Певецът и пианистът на групата CHRIS MARTIN споделя: „ЛУННА МУЗИКА“ съдържа чувствата и мислите в сърцето и душата ми. Това е начинът, по който ние като група се чувстваме във всичко. Начинът, по който се опитваме да останем позитивни в свят, в който има толкова много негативност. Мисля, че ако някога сте харесвали COLDPLAY, тогава любимата ви песен от COLDPLAY вероятно е в този албум. Това сме ние, които наистина открито сме самите себе си и пеем за начина, по който избираме да гледаме на света от позициите на любовта. Що се отнася до заглавието на албума, то е свързано с приемането на всички различни фази от живота и желанието да озаряваш, да излъчваш светлина без никаква нужда да искаш нещо в замяна“ – завършва CHRIS MARTIN.

В комерсиален план „MOON MUSIC“ дебютира на върха на класацията за албуми в Обединеното кралство, превръщайки се в 10-ия албум номер едно на COLDPLAY и най-бързо продаваното издание за десетилетието от група. Той също така оглавява най-меродавната класация за албуми в света Billboard 200 на САЩ, отбелязвайки първия път, когато британска група оглавява двете класации едновременно, от 2016 г. Други страни, в които албумът достигна номер едно, са Австралия, Белгия, Германия, Италия, Испания и Швеция.

Албума „MOON MUSIC“, или „ЛУННА МУЗИКА“, ще чуем в предаването “Картини от една изложба®” на програма “Хоризонт” на БНР в събота, 4 януари, след новините от 22 ч.

LYRICS:

MOON MUSiC
[Intro]
Moon Music
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Once upon a time, I tried to get myself together
Be more like the sky and welcome every kind of weather
Be more eagle-like and find the flight in every feather
Once upon a time, but I'm still trying to get better
Maybe I'm just crazy, I should just be a brick in the wall
Sit and watch the TV, blame everyone else for it all
But I'm trying to trust in the heavens above
And I'm trying to trust in a world full of love
Fire and water and constantly dream
Of the balance of things and the music between
If there's anyone out there, I'm close to the end
If there's anyone out there, I just need a friend

[Outro]
Feels like
I'm fallin' in—
Feels like
I'm fallin' in—
Feels like
I'm fallin'

Feelslikeimfallinginlove

[Verse 1]
I know that this could hurt me bad
I know that this could feel like that
But I just can't stop
Let my defences drop
I know that I was born to kill
Any angel on my windowsill
But it's so dark inside
I throw the windows wide

[Pre-Chorus]
I know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Still I don't let go
And fields of flowers grow

[Chorus]
Oh, it feels like
I'm fallin' in love
Maybe for the first time
Baby, it's my mind you blow
It feels like
I'm fallin' in love
You're throwin' me a lifeline
This is for a lifetime, I know

[Verse 2]
I know that in this kind of scene
Of two people there's a spark between
One gets torn apart
One gets a broken heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Still I don't let go
And fields of flowers grow

[Chorus]
Oh, it feels like
I'm fallin' in love
Maybe for the first time
Baby, it's my mind you blow
It feels like
I'm fallin' in love
You're throwin' me a lifeline
This is for a lifetime, I know

[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh (Feels like)
Woah

[Chorus]
It feels like
I'm fallin' in love
You're throwin' me a lifeline
Oh, now for the first time
I know I'm not alone

[Post-Chorus]
Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo
Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo
Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo, oh
Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo
Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo
Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo, oh

We Pray

[Intro: Little Simz, Elyanna, Chris Martin & Burna Boy]
Woah
Oh
And so we pray
Ooh

[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
I pray that I don't give up, pray that I do my best
Pray that I can lift up, pray my brother is blessed
Praying for enough, pray Virgilio wins
Pray I judge nobody and forgive me my sins
I pray we make it, pray my friend will pull through
Pray as I take it unto others, I do
Praying on your love, we pray with every breath
Though I'm in the valley of the shadow of death

[Chorus: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Little Simz, Burna Boy]
And so we pray
For someone to come and show me the way
And so we pray
For some shelter and some records to play
And so we pray
We'll be singing "Baraye"
Pray that we make it to thе end of the day
And so we pray
I know somеwhere that Heaven is waitin'
And so we pray
I know somewhere there's something amazin'
And so we pray
I know somewhere we'll feel no pain
Until we make it to the end of the day

[Verse 2: Little Simz, Chris Martin & Little Simz, Burna Boy]
I pray that love will shelter us from our fears
Oh, I pray you trust to let me wipe off your tears
Confront all the pain that we felt inside
With all the cards we been dealt in life
Pray I speak my truth and keep my sisters alive
So for the ones who parted seas (Ah, yeah)
For the ones who's followin' dreams (Ah, yeah)
For the ones who knocked down doors (Ah, yeah)
And allowed us to pass down keys (Ah, yeah)
Pray that we speak with a tongue that is honest
And that we understand how to be modest
Pray when she looks at herself in the mirror
She sees a queen, she sees a goddess

[Chorus: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Little Simz, Burna Boy]
And so we pray
For someone to come and show me the way
And so we pray
For some shelter and some records to play
And so we pray
We'll be singin' "Baraye"
Pray that we make it to the end of the day
And so we pray
I know somewhere that Heaven is waitin'
And so we pray
I know somewhere there's something amazin'
And so we pray
I know somewhere we'll feel no pain
Until we make it to the end of the day

[Bridge: Burna Boy]
On my knees, I pray, as I sleep and wake
'Cause inside my head is a frightening place
Keep a smiling face, only by His grace
'Cause love's more than I can take, hey

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Little Simz, Elyanna, Burna Boy, Chris Martin, Elyanna & TINI]
And so we pray
And so we pray
And so we pray
And so we pray
And so we pray
We'll be singin' "Baraye"
Till nobody's in need and everybody can say (Oh)

[Post-Chorus: Choir, Little Simz, Burna Boy, Burna Boy & Choir]
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (La-la)
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (La-la-la, la)
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (Sing it to me)
La-la-la, la-la, we pray, we pray
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (I know somewhere that Heaven is waitin', is waitin')
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (I know somewhere there's something amazin', something amazin')
La-la-la, la-la, la-la (Until we feel no pain)
La-la-la, la-la, we pray, we pray

[Outro: Chris Martin & Choir]
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, we pray, we pray, we pray

JUPiTER

[Verse 1]
Jupiter, named for a planet, wasn't free to be
To be exactly who she ought to be
She saw in colours others couldn't see
Jupiter, named for a planet, would pretend to be
Somebody way less extraordinary
"Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with me"

[Pre-Chorus]
"Am I bad? Am I wrong? Am I weird in the head?
The only one awake, and everyone's in bed"
Still she followed the river where the river led
Right up to heaven where the billboard read

[Chorus]
"I love who I love (I love who I love)
Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)
I love who I love," the message from above
Is never give up, love who you love

[Verse 2]
Jupiter longed to be herself or die
"I wanna burst into a butterfly"

[Pre-Chorus]
"Am I bad? Am I wrong? Am I not okay?
Speaking only words that a girl can't say"
Still she followed the rain to where the rainbow lay
All of the angels singing "Come and say"

[Chorus]
"I love who I love (I love who I love)
Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)
I love who I love," the message from above
Is never give up, love who you love

[Bridge]
And it's a battle for your song
You had to hide away for so long
When they say, "Yourself is wrong"
(The orchestra of rainbows play)

[Chorus]
I love who I love (I love who I love)
Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)
I love who I love, I struggle with this stuff
Now all I wanna say
Is la-la-la-la-lay (La-la-la-la-lay)
La-la-la-la-lay (La-la-la-la-lay)
La-la-la-la-lay
Oh, I'm okay ('Kay, 'kay, 'kay)
Oh, I'm okay (He-hey, hey)

[Post-Chorus]
Ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Yam yonke sithandwa sami ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso
Yam yonke sithandwa sami ngiyakuthanda ngenyaniso

[Outro]
…who you love (Love, love)
Love (Love) who you love
Love (Love) who you love
(Love, love)

[Part I: Neon Forest]

[Intro: Chris Martin]
As much as I could, as much as I tried
I just couldn't seem to find the light

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1: Chris Martin & Will Champion]
It glows
In your eyes
Everything that lives
All the stars in the sky

[Outro: Angel Moon]
Sunshine every time I look at you
(Ohh, ahh)

[Part II: Angelsong]

[Verse 2: Will Champion]
To all, all of us
No, don't give up
Storms pass, love lasts
It all goes by so fast

[Outro: Maya Angelou]
There is an African American song, 19th century
Which, um, is so pretty, it said
"When it looked like the sun wasn't gonna shine anymore
God put a rainbow in the clouds
God put a rainbow in the clouds"
And I've had so many rainbows in my clouds
I had a lot of clouds, but I have had so many rainbows
So many rainbows
So many rainbows

iAAM

[Verse 1]
I got this feeling and just what it is, God only knows
I got this feeling and I think I'm seeing thunderbolts
I got this feeling that I'm turnin' into someone new
I got this feeling that the ceiling is for bursting through

[Pre-Chorus]
I got this feeling and now nothing is frightening
I got this feeling I can summon up lightning
I got this feeling and just what it is, God only knows
But here it goes

[Chorus]
Stood on a sea of pain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
I'll be back on my feet again
'Cause I am a mountain

[Verse 2]
I'm really sorry for some things I said along the way
I really love you, I just didn't like myself that day

[Pre-Chorus]
I got this feeling I can summon up lightning
I got this feeling I was falling, now I'm flying
I got this feeling and just what it is, God only knows
So here it goes

[Chorus]
Stood on a sea of pain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
I'll be back on my feet again
'Cause I am a mountain
Everyone taking aim
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
I'll be back on my feet again
'Cause I am a mountain

[Bridge]
(Back on my feet again
I am a mountain)

[Chorus]
Everyone taking aim
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
My love for you will remain
'Cause I am a mountain

AETERNA

[Verse 1]
And for the life of me
I couldn't decide just what it could be
Eyes so hypnotised
'Cause when you look at me
There's something inside hallucinatory
I took my soul to heaven

[Chorus]
This must be bliss
Must be for this I exist
'Cause I always, I always
I always want to feel like this
Oh, this must be bliss
This extraordinariness
And I always, I always
I always want to feel like this

[Verse 2]
All together now, you feel it flow
You feel it flow
And we're all together now, so
Fall together now, you feel it flow
You feel it flow
And we're all together now, oh

[Chorus]
This must be bliss
Must be for this I exist
'Cause I always, I always
I always want to feel like this
Oh, this must be bliss
This extraordinariness
And I always, I always
I always wanna feel like this

ALL MY LOVE

[Verse 1]
We've been through low
Been through sunshine, been through snow
All the colours of the weather
We've been through high
Every corner of the sky
And still we're holding on together

[Chorus]
You got all my love
Whether it rains or pours, I'm all yours
You've got all my love
Whether it rains, it remains
You've got all my love

[Verse 2]
And till I die
Let me hold you if you cry
Be my one, two, three, forever

[Chorus]
'Cause you got all my love
Whether it rains or pours, I'm all yours
You've got all my love
Whether it rains, it remains
You'vе got all my love

La-la, la-la, la, lay
That's all, all I can say

Oh, for now and always, till the end of my days
You got all my love
You've got all my love
