Scorpions - Wind of Change

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close,like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Chorus:
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever

I fallow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Hey There Delilah


"Hey There Delilah"

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.....



Story behind that song..


There is a real Delilah. She was from Columbia University and that song is dedicated to her. It took over a year to write that song and real Delilah was never interested in Tom because she was already in a relationship. There was never a relationship between Tom Higgenson and Delilah DiCrescenzo.

Have you also ever had a Delilah?

Professional bloggers could get journalist shield

A bill that would shield journalists (including bloggers) from revealing their sources today cleared the House Judiciary Committee. The Free Flow of Information Act protects journalistic sources generally, but does include several exceptions regarding terrorism, national security, imminent death, and trade secret leaks. And, in response to concerns that the initial version of the bill would apply to everyone capable of doing a Wordpress install, Rep. Rick Boucher (D-VA) narrowed the definition of a "journalist." You'll need to earn some scratch to qualify.

Boucher, along with Mike Pence (R-IN), championed the bill in the wake of several recent (and high profile) federal court cases in which journalists were threatened with or actually forced to serve jail time if they did not turn over confidential sources. More than 30 states already have shield laws on the books, and the new bill is an attempt to provide the same protection at the federal level.

The modified bill that passed the committee today included a provision that limits its protections to those who make "financial gain or livelihood" from their journalism. Bloggers who make ten bucks a quarter from their Google ads seem unlikely to get protection, though this will depend on how broadly the courts interpret "financial gain."

The Society of Professional Journalists pushed to keep the definition as broad as possible. "While it's important to distinguish responsible journalists from casual bloggers," said SPJ's national president, Christine Tatum, "the more narrow the language defining who is a journalist, the less impact the bill will have."

Boucher told the committee that "the best information about corruption in government or misdeeds in a private organization will come from someone on the inside who feels a responsibility to bring that information to light." And he argued that such people will not come forward unless they know that their confidentiality can be respected.

More than 40 media companies and journalism organizations agreed. "The journalist is becoming the first stop, rather than the last resort, for civil litigants and prosecutors attempting to obtain the identity of confidential sources," said the Newspaper Association of America in a statement supporting the bill.

An almost identical version (PDF) of the bill has also been introduced into the Senate. The House version, with 69 cosponsors, already enjoys strong bipartisan support.
