Iris - Goo Goo Dolls #90smusic

Posted by Unknown Jumat, 31 Januari 2014 0 komentar
Hi guys. I created a facebook page for this blog yesterday. The whole idea is to build a community where we can interact and share ideas as well as real stories that will not only promote entrepreneurship but also inspire and motivate people. When you do have a minute, please visit mofolusade's blogspot on facebook and like. I appreciate you loads.

It's Friday and that means #fridaymusic, yaay! This time I have a 90s song to share, thanks to the amazing and ever supportive +Tosyn Bucknor. I don't know how she manages to do it, but she's simply one of the most down to earth and inspiring people I know. Back to the matter at hand. On her timeline a few days back, she posted "Iris" has to be one of the best songs ever! I think I agree. Apart from Bon Jovi's "always" and Nickleback's "how you remind me", this was one of the rock songs I loved to listen to back in the day. The simplicity of the song composition, the instrumentals just work for me. The lyrics.... funny thing is I just really attempted to dissect that today, I just used to hum along and then raise my voice at the chorus. Lol.

"Iris" is a song by American alternative rock band the +Goo Goo Dolls  Originally written for the soundtrack of 1998 film City Of Angels. According to +Wikipedia It is one of the biggest 90's alternative rock staples in the history of alternative music and it contributed greatly to the band's success.

Enjoy......

And I'd give up forever to touch you (Gen Gen!)
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be (Az how naa! Lies that kill)
And I don't wanna go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

(*raises voice at this point, hehe)
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am 

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

(The person that did the acoustic guitar solo here is a beast! And I mean that in a good way! lawd)

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am 

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

(Ahem*, now that I have read through the lyrics, er..... dunno. But I'll choose this over any "shake your bumbum" type song any day.)

Something Inside so strong......Labi Siffre #fridaymusic

Posted by Unknown Sabtu, 25 Januari 2014 0 komentar
Yours  truly sat in front of her laptop yesterday all fired up to share the first song for the year, she types www.blogspot.com....eek, error! Okay let's try mofolusades.blogspot.com..... eeek eek, error... *hyperventilating* Reboots system, twice for certainty, retypes www.blogger.com! Aaah oti o. Lol!!

Funny thing is, I never thought for a second that Google could have downtime or something, I was freaking out, thinking oh  no, all my posts, my pictures... Yeepa. Then it occurs to me to check if there was some issue, where did I first go to check... Google too! Lmao! Long and short, after fishing around for a bit, I check twitter and see some other people complaining... Whew! Thank God it's sorted, but please Google don't ever try this again.

The morale of the story above is that... "This is why my Friday music is coming on Saturday :-)"  and yea, whatever you've got online should better be backed up somewhere. I mean, you just never know.

Meanwhile, I have shifted from the strictly #90smusic theme to #fridaymusic biko! Whenever I remember a great song I need to share and do my background check, turns out some of them were cooked in the 80s or 2000s even. So, I'm just going to open the door and let them in.

Something inside was a single released by Labi Siffre in 1987. It was inspired by a TV documentary on Apartheid South Africa seen by Siffre in 1985 in which a white soldier was filmed shooting at black children. However, for me the songs means much more. I think of the struggle of life itself when I listen to it. The struggle to breakthrough and be what you were made to be, against all odds. There have been many covers of this song, for me though, none beats this original!

Enjoy.....

The higher you build your barriers the taller I become
The farther you take my rights away the faster I will run
You can deny me, you can decide to turn your face away
No matter 'cause there's


Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh, no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh oh oh oh something inside so strong


The more you refuse to hear my voice the louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho, your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time, you squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly, it will blind you 'cause there's


Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it (!!! AND I WILL)
Tho' you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh, no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh oh oh oh something inside so strong


Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say

I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway


Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh, no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh oh oh oh something inside so strong


Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just good not enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say

I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway


Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me so wrong
Oh, no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, something inside so strong

SIFFRE, LABI

Roar...... Katy Perry #fridaymusic

Posted by Unknown Jumat, 13 Desember 2013 0 komentar
Hi guys. I respected myself and tried to keep all my 'waka' to the barest minimum today. I live off the express and our 'overflow' family and friends will definitely make sure that axis is on a lock down today. I have a lot to say about this, but I'll bite my tongue and save it for another day. Just know though, that not every church going Nigerian is truly Christian, and boy do we have a lot of church goers..... the end!

Eheen, so I have some energy today since I didn't have to endure five hours in Lagos traffic. It's been a while since I took my time to share anything from the heart here, so I'll try to make it up with my song of the day!! It's not a 90s song by the way; at this rate, I am beginning to think maybe I need to change this Friday segment to #songoftheday or #musicfriday maybe, what do you think? We'll see. Today will be #musicfriday though, because there's no way I can pass this one off as #90smusic.

If you follow me on twitter @sonaike, you would know that I am a huge fan of +Katy Perry and that her current hit #Roar is my motivational song of the moment. I even couldn't resist sharing it in my recent interview with connectnigeria.

Read the interview here

By the way +Chibuike Wogu was so gracious to send me a copy of the secret DVD I talked about in the interview, which I am about to watch! If you haven't taken advantage of the offer to download your business plan template from http://www.mybizhubstore.com/ the offer is still on till the end of the year. That's my own little way of saying thank you. 

Back to the song. Whenever this song comes up on the radio, I turn up the volume of my radio to the very end and sing along like my life depends on it! haha! Every single line of that song speaks to my soul, no kidding!! Gosh.

If you haven't heard the song please just listen by following the link below, if you can't see the embedded video that is;

Enjoy......


Katy Perry Roar

If you thought I was joking when I said every line of the song speaks to me, you would believe me when you see my fingerprints in red all over the lyrics below. I have comments everywhere. lol!

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
(I see you sitting there, you know you want a change, but your too prim and proper to cause a stir! What would people think yea? Guess what? Nobody really cares)
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice  
(many of us are here! You do have a choice, refuse to accept less than you know you deserve)
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything 
(what can I say! What do you stand for?)
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!) (Yesssir!!)
Already brushing off the dust
  (I literally jump up and do the brush off moves when the song gets here)
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground 
(Gen Gen!! The world hasn't seen nothing yet)
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I’ve had enough
  (You have to get to that point where you've had enough! As long as you continue to endure that situation, you haven't had enough, no sir!)
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
(dance, dance, dance, cos you're a fighter, people will wonder)
'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion (oh yes!!)
'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero (Notice she says "my own hero", I hope you hear this?)
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...
