Man in the Mirror - Michael Jackson Lyrics

Man in the Mirror Song Lyrics


(Man in the Mirror - Michael Jackson, Bad album released Jan 9, 1988)



Song Lyrics:


Man In The Mirror-


I'm Gonna Make A Change,

For Once In My Life

It's Gonna Feel Real Good,

Gonna Make A Difference

Gonna Make It Right . . .


As I, Turn Up The Collar On My

Favourite Winter Coat

This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind

I See The Kids In The Street,

With Not Enough To Eat

Who Am I, To Be Blind?

Pretending Not To See

Their Needs

A Summer's Disregard,

A Broken Bottle Top

And A One Man's Soul

They Follow Each Other On

The Wind Ya' Know'

Cause They Got Nowhere

To Go

That's Why I Want You To

Know


I'm Starting With The Man In

The Mirror

I'm Asking Him To Change

His Ways

And No Message Could Have

Been Any Clearer

If You Wanna Make The World

A Better Place

(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)

Take A Look At Yourself, And

Then Make A Change

(Take A Look At Yourself, And

Then Make A Change)

(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,Na Nah)


I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish

Kind Of Love

It's Time That I Realize

That There Are Some With No

Home, Not A Nickel To Loan

Could It Be Really Me,

Pretending That They're Not

Alone?


A Willow Deeply Scarred,

Somebody's Broken Heart

And A Washed-Out Dream

(Washed-Out Dream)

They Follow The Pattern Of

The Wind, Ya' See

Cause They Got No Place

To Be

That's Why I'm Starting With

Me

(Starting With Me!)


I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror

(Ooh!)

I'm Asking Him To Change

His Ways

(Ooh!)

And No Message Could Have

Been Any Clearer

If You Wanna Make The World

A Better Place

(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)

Take A Look At Yourself And

Then Make A Change

(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change)


I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror

(Ooh!)

I'm Asking Him To Change His
Ways

(Change His Ways-Ooh!)

And No Message Could've

Been Any Clearer

If You Wanna Make The World

A Better Place

(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)

Take A Look At Yourself And

Then Make That . . .

(Take A Look At Yourself And

Then Make That . . .)

Change!


I'm Starting With The Man In

The Mirror,

(Man In The Mirror-Oh
Yeah!)

I'm Asking Him To Change

His Ways

(Better Change!)

No Message Could Have

Been Any Clearer

(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)

(Take A Look At Yourself And

Then Make The Change)

(You Gotta Get It Right, While

You Got The Time)

('Cause When You Close Your
Heart)

You Can't Close Your . . .

Your
Mind!

(Then You Close Your . . .

Mind!)

That Man, That Man, That

Man, That Man
With That Man In The Mirror

(Man In The Mirror, Oh Yeah!)

That Man, That Man, That Man

I'm Asking Him To Change

His Ways

(Better Change!)

You Know . . .That Man

No Message Could Have

Been Any Clearer

If You Wanna Make The World

A Better Place

(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)

Take A Look At Yourself And

Then Make A Change

(Take A Look At Yourself And

Then Make A Change)

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,

na Nah

(Oh Yeah!)

Gonna Feel Real Good Now!

Yeah Yeah! Yeah Yeah!

Yeah Yeah!

Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,

Michael Jackson Songs

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009).
One of, if not the most, famous recording artist ever! Known as the king of Pop (pop music), Michael was one of the best selling artists in history.

On June 25, 2009 Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center at roughly 2:25pm. Jackson's death is one in a series of shocking Hollywood deaths lately. Also recently deceased are TV infomerical and pitch man Billy Mays (OxyClean), David Carradine (Kill Bill movies, Kung Fu TV series), and Farrah Fawcett (Charlie's Angels). While all of these recent deaths made headlines, it seems as if Michael Jackson's death shadows all of the other three.

Michael Jackson dominates iTunes

Eight of iTunes top 10 songs have been dominated by Michael today. Michael's total domination of iTunes was only foiled by the Black Eyed Peas. Other than the two songs the Black Eyed Peas managed to hit, Michael reigns supreme.

Today's iTunes rankings:



  1. Man in The Mirror (Michael Jackson)
  2. I Gotta Feeling (Black Eyed Peas)
  3. The Way You Make Me Feel (Michael Jackson)

The Hangover (2009)

The Hangover (2009)


Comedy Film of the Year! The Hangover took over box offices as of late! According to Yahoo!, The Hangover dominated the box offices this weekend.

The Hangover has mixed reviews from critics and movie goers a like. One thing is undeniable however, The Hangover will leave you woozy. Gut-busting jokes, funny songs, and crazy situations from beginning to end.

The Hangover focuses on the Groom's party taking a Las Vegas Road trip for the bachelor party. Once in Vegas, the group checks in to their hotel and has a roof top toast to the groom. Flash forward to the next morning. Headaches, mysteries, and a missing groom! Now the gang must puzzle the pieces of the previous night together to find their boy... one problem, they can't remember a damn thing!
Bradley Cooper does a great job Phil Wenneck. He is a school teacher who needs to get away from his students and family (wife and kids) for the weekend. He's rude and crude. Everything you could want from a groomsman.
Ed Helms, who you might recognize from NBC's hit The Office, plays your average whipped-pushover. His character Stu price needs nothing more than to get away from his agro girlfriend for a weekend in Vegas... um, if that's ok with her. He's the safe, level headed one... and as might guess, has a really hard time on this trip.
Zach Galifianakis plays Alan Garner. Brother of the bride. Alan is simply a blanket, some food, a park, two hungry people, and a picnic basket... shy of a picnic. HE'S NUTS! Galifianakis will probably see a lot more lead roles from this movie. Think Vince Vaughen, Owens Brothers, Will Ferrell type of movies. Although, according to IMD, Galifianakis has very extensive resume of being behind the camera! His character Alan Garner will have you laughing until you cry... well, either that, or completely confused.
Justin Bartha plays the groom, Doug Billings. I most recognize this actor from his work in National Treasure, opposite of Nicholas Cage. Although, he doesn't get a lot of face time in The Hangover, due to the fact that he is the missing groom... you can't help but love him. He's the quiet, appreciative, non-judgemental friend of the rag-tag group.
Rachel Harris plays Melissa, controlling girlfriend of Stu. She's rude, controlling, unfaithful, and obsessive. She does a great job of making you hate her in this film.
There is a lot of other talent that pulls this film together, but an extra special mention goes out to Ken Jeong! I won't give anything away about his character, Mr. Chow... but if you've seen the film, you'll know what I am talking about. He's been visible on the film scene lately, most notable from Role Models and Knocked Up.

Film Dog Day Afternoon

Film: Dog Day Afternoon

Crazy film! I know it's a cult classic and had to rent it. The reason I rented so many movies this week is because I have a gift card from Christmas time, that needs to be used! The weather here has been really rainy, so it's the perfect week for some Film!
To me, this film was interesting on several levels. To avoid spoilers, for those of you out there who haven't seen the movie... I won't reveal them all. What I liked about this film is that it wasn't your typical banker robber movie... but, at the same time, it was your typical bank robber movie. Also, the film is based on a true story.
Al Pacino plays Sonny Wortzik, an ex-bank employee who decides to try his luck at robbing a bank. He and his friend end up in stand off with both the police and the FBI. The heat escalates from there.
The best way to sum this movie comes from it's Tag Line:
"The robbery should have taken 10 minutes. 4 hours later, the bank was like a circus sideshow. 8 hours later, it was the hottest thing on live T.V. 12 hours later, it was all history. And it's all true."
Other Taglines:
  • "The Most Bizarre Bank Siege Ever"
  • "Anything can happen during the dog days of summer. On August 22nd, 1972, everything did"
  • "In August, 1972, Sonny Wortzik robbed a bank. 250 cops, the F.B.I., 8 hostages and 2,000 onlookers will never forget what took place."

Cast:

Al Pacino -- Sonny Wortzik

John Cazale -- Sal

Judith Malina -- The Mother (Vi)

William Bogert -- News Caster

Charles Durning -- Detective Eugene Moretti

Chris Sarandon -- Leon Shermer

Sully Boyar -- Mulvaney

Penelope Allen -- Slyvia

Amy Levitt -- Moria

Lonesome Dove



Lonesome Dove

One of my favorite films that I have rented lately. Lonesome Dove was a miniseries on television circa 1989. The entire cast is a star studded extravaganza. The cast ranges from Robert Duvall to Tommy Lee Jones. Along for the ride is a boat load of other talented stars including Diane Lane, Danny Glover, and Steve Buscemi.

Cast: (not in its entirety)

  • Robert Duvall (Gus McCrae)
  • Tommy Lee Jones (Woodrow F. Call)
  • Steve Buscemi (Luke)
  • Danny Glover (Deets)
  • Diane Lane (Lorena "Lori" Wood)
  • Frederic Forrest (Blue Duck)
  • Robert Urich (Jake Spoon)
  • D.B. Sweeney (Dish Boggett)
  • Rick Schroder (Newt Dobbs)
  • Chris Cooper (July Johnson)
  • Anjelica Huston (Clara Allen)
  • Nina Siemaszko (Janey)

The movie consists of 384 minutes of run time! It's not at all tedious as Gus (Robert Duvall) will keep you entertained with his delightful mouthiness. Tommy Lee Jones (as Woodrow) gives an outstanding performance as his character struggles with fatherhood and overcoming a stone cold heart. Diane Lane plays the convincing part of an old saloon whore, which I found to be funny seeing here in a role like this. She does a great job, and creates a very lovable character.

The whole movie (or series, I guess I should say) is complete classic western. The Film is premised around a cattle drive from Texas to Montana. It is most definitely a nostalgic feeling movie, but a great one none-the-less. Make sure to check it out!

3AM Song Lyrics-Rob Thomas Acoustic

Rob Thomas - 3AM Song Lyrics

It's actually 3:00 am for me. I'm up so late, and I am playing online at Full Tilt. I decided when 3AM rolled around, that I'd play the song by Rob Thomas. I came across this piano acoustic version. He talks a little about the song's origins and his mother having cancer. Enjoy the video and song lyrics below. 3 AM by Rob Thomas.




3AM Lyrics- Rob Thomas- Matchbox20

(By Rob Thomas, John Leslie Goff, John Joseph Stanley, Brian Yale)
She says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried about things like that
She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

She says baby
It's 3 am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rain's gonna wash away
I believe it

She's got a little bit of something,
God it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

[chorus]

She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside it's stopped raining

[chorus]
