Day 22: I Found Someone

A very special song for a very special day! Not only is today the 25th anniversary of Cher's incredibly rockin' awesome eponymous album (it was released on November 10 1987) but it's also my birthday! It's therefore the perfect timing to release a wallpaper featuring probably Cher's most iconic outfit of her career which was first introduced in the music video of "I Found Someone", the first track of the album. Enjoy, fellow fans!

Don't you know
So many things, they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
But you walked away, when I needed you most

CHORUS
Now, maybe baby, maybe baby
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bear to see you cry
Some day your love will shine through
And show you the feelings that ya never really knew
But baby don't ya loose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me, but you still don't believe

CHORUS

Too long on the border line
Wondering if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And when I realized

CHORUS

Day 21: A Song for the Lonely

One of Cher's latest hits that was released on the 2002 album Living Proof. A new album is surely exciting news after 10 years, even though Cher made sure to keep herself busy for her fans by touring around the world, rocking the Caesar's Palace and making a comeback to the silver screen!

When you're standing on the edge of nowhere
There's only one way up
So your heart's got to go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When hero's fall, in love or war
They live forever

[Chorus:]
This is a song - for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song - for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer?
'Cause someone's there for you

Well, love don't need a reason
She can pick you up
Or leave you bleeding
I've seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive, we all forget
We just keep believing

[Chorus]

So let it find you
Wherever you may go
I'm right beside you
You don't have to look no more
You don't have to look no more, oh no

[Chorus]

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

This is a song
A song for the lonely
And that's not you only
Through the darkest night
You're gonna see the light

Love don't need a reason
Just to leave you bleeding

Can you hear this prayer?
Someone's there

This is a song - for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song
For the lonely 

Day 20: Dov'è L'Amore

Today's for the Italian flavoured song "Dov'è L'Amore"! The song was originally released on the album Believe in 1999 and got a Latin-themed remix that was used for the music video, featuring Cher dressed up in a flamboyant flamenco dress and holding one lucky chihuahua.

Dove sei adesso
Dove sei, amore mio

(Don't keep me waiting)

Dov'è l'amore
Dov'è l'amore
I cannot tell you of my love
Here is my story
I'll sing a love song
Sing it for you alone
Though you're a thousand miles away
Love's feeling so strong

Come to me baby
Don't keep me waiting
Another night without you here
And I'll go crazy
There is no other, there is no other
No other love can take your place
Or match the beauty of your face
I'll keep on singing till the day
I carry you away
With my love song, with my love song

Dov'è l'amore
Dov'è l'amore
Where are you now my love?
I need you here to hold me
Whisper so sweetly
Feel my heart beating
I need to hold you in my arms
I want you near me

Come to me baby
Don't keep me waiting
Another night without you here
And I'll go crazy
There is no other, there is no other
No other love can take your place
Or match the beauty of your face
I'll keep on singing till the day
I carry you away
With my love song, ooh with my love song

(Don't keep me waiting)

Non c'è nessuno
Non c'è nessuno
Non c'è nessuno
Bello come te e ti amo

Come to me baby
Come to me baby
Another night without you here
And I'll go crazy
There is no other, there is no other
No other love can take your place
Or match the beauty of your face
I'll keep on singing till the day
I carry you away
With my love song, with my love song
I carry you away.
(Dov'è l'amore) 

Day 19: Human

An exclusive song from the 2003 comedy film Stuck on You in which Cher made a hilarious cameo playing herself. Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear stars in the movie as conjoined twins with rather different ambitions in life, where one wants to become a Hollywood actor and the other prefers a quiet life. A silly yet very charming movie!

I don't see right, I don't see wrong

In anything I've done, In where I've gone.

And I'm only human and yes I've made mistakes

I wish that I could foresee what I'm doing wrong, get some breaks.

Through a doorway I'm calling, down a long road I'm walking

Like an eagle I'm soaring up so high.

You can see it in my hands

You can see it in my face

I'm chasing passion down a one way street.

But I'm in command of lost control

And I'll tell you one thing's certain, that I'll never fake it for anyone.

Run to a place you'll never hide, to a place you hold so tight and you'll try....

And I'm only human and yes I've made mistakes

Day 18: Welcome to Burlesque

The opening act at the Burlesque Lounge!

Show a little more
Show a little less
Add a little smoke
Welcome to Burlesque

Everything you dream of
But never can possess
Nothing what it seems
Welcome to Burlesque

Oh, everyone is buying
Put your money in my hand
If you got a little extra
Well, give it to the band.

You may not the guilty
But your ready to confess
Tell me what you need
Welcome to Burlesque

You can dream of Coco
Do it at your risk
The tripets grant you mercy
But not your every wish
Jesse keeps you guessing
So cool and statuesque
Behave yourself says Georgia
Welcome to Burlesque

Oh, everyone is buying
Put your money in my hand
If you want a little extra
Well, you know where I am
Something very dark is playing with your mind
It's not the end of days, it's just a bump and grind

Show a little more
Show a little less
Add a little smoke
Welcome to Burlesque

Day 17: Half-Breed

Another essential song from the early years... Cher brings back the feathers and Native American gown on each of her latest concert tours to cover this 1973 #1 hit!

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said I was white by law
The white man always called me "Indian Squaw"

CHORUS:
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"

Chorus

We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am

Chorus 2x

 

Day 16: One by One

A favorite from the 1996 album It's a Man's World...

When you pray with every breath
You know, that is free
As the love you have
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take

There's no peace
You close your eyes
I'm all out of truth
I'm out of alibis
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take

Chorus:
We're gonna love one another
Till morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation
For what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kind of meaning
To what I am
I know that I could never
Love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand

And his face his heaven sent
He makes me believe there
Must be something else
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take

I can feel the need in you
There isn't a thing
I won't let you do
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take

Chorus ...

We're gonna love one another
Till morning comes
Sweet salvation
For what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one

We're gonna love one another
We're gonna love one another
Give up resisting one by one
