Heaven in your eyes..


One of my friends, Jeevan, mentioned in his blog about using Pandora to listen to music.
And believe it or not, I am now in love with Pandora’s Music Box.
It allows users to create a radio station that is almost 85% to their liking.(Don't ask me how I reached at this number ;¬)
You can add a station by adding one or more songs/artists you like.(Tip: Adding by songs will get you a better result)
These generous people at the
music genome project add songs to your radio playlist according to the song/artist you chose to create the station.
You can then keep rating the playlist, and finally create the perfect radio station that you dreamed for ;¬)
You may find more details @
Jeevan's Alterlife
BTW, today, I tried to look for one of my favourite songs "No frontiers" on Pandora.
It's one of the sweetest songs ever; so beautifuuly sung by one of my favourite bands, The Corrs.
Well actually this is a cover version of an old song by the same name. ( I don't remember the artist though)
Another trivia about this song is that this song is not sung by the lead singer of the band, Andrea.
Instead this is sung by Sharon and Caroline Corr.
(Note: Andrea is the most beautiful of the three sisters. I have had a crush on Andrea too.... ;¬) It probably lasted a week)
Now back to our story, I could not find this song listed on Pandora.
So, I mailed the helpdesk about this and requested them to add this song their already amazing database.
I was not expecting a reply. But, to my surprise, I got a personal mail back from a guy in the Pandora support team, asking me to send the name of the album to which the reqested song belongs.
That's when, like a bolt of lightening, it crossed my mind that this song was also named as "Heaven Knows". I finally found my favourite song.
If you get time, then please do listen to this song. It will really soothe you, however hectic your day may be.
Here it goes:

"If life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby baby born to float
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose it's grip
And heaven has its way

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
And your heart is the pure flame of man's constant night

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose it's grip
And heaven has its way
And heaven has its way
When all will harmonise
And know what's in our hearts
The dream will realise

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes"

I wish I could see heaven in someone's eyes.....
Sigh!

Have a great day.
