Mika - more music

Another artist I'm big into at the moment is Mika. One of his old songs has really inspired me. Think it's super beautiful.

It's called happy ending and it's quite a depressing song but if you really look into it I think it's a beautiful positive song. Love it. Have attached the lyrics as well.

Happy Ending lyrics

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, no love, no glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I've ever told

No hope, no love, no glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day[repeated under]

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love[repeat many times]

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.

Another song that I'm really into by MIKA, is this one. I feel the energy. I feel young, I feel free, I feel strong...

Music and tricks

The perfect start to a day? Wake up. Put this song on and see the ray of sunshines seep in through your curtains. It makes you feel absolutely FANTASTIC. That's how my Saturday started.

This is one of my favorite songs at the minute. I found the song from the latest Social Media Revolutions 2011 video by Erik Qualman. If you haven't seen that video definitely go onto that site and check it out. Always insightful.

So having listened to this song as soon as I got up, I went out for a 10k run. It was such lovely weather and as I run with my iPhone I could make a little film of me panting heavily. :-) Oh so exciting. :-) I use the Nike+ app to measure how far I go so that's the voice you hear a little ways in...

As you can see, Kew Gardens is an absolutely beautiful surrounding to go running in. Who would have guessed that's London eh?

So my Saturday started wonderfully. A friend of mine from my time in Bratislava - Kieran - was in town and so met up with him in Balham - a part of town I'd never been to. It's near Clapham common.

So thanks to last night I now have some new TIPS for places to go in London if you are over and want some great hidden gems off the beaten track.

• A pub called the Duke of Devonshire. - really cosy - for some reason it reminded me of a circus. don't know why. It had a really nice interior but I was expecting monkey's with wings to jump out from under tables. Very odd.
• A great Spanish Tapas restaurant in Clapham called Carmen Bar de Tapas -best Tapas I've had in London.

Also, if you're ever in Brentford/Isleworth/Kew gardens area, there's a lovely pub that's just been refurbished called Coach and Horses. Jon and I went for roast today. I've picked up some cold ... sniffly nose and sore throat.

I'll leave you with some fun music ---a little Lonely Island and Jack Sparrow. Michael Bolton is a legend.
