'Love's Great Adventure' by Ultravox



'Love's Great Adventure' by Ultravox

To be perfectly fair, I never was wholly seduced by tragic love. I ALWAYS loved this song by Ultravox and still do. It is the ultimate kind of positive hymn to realisation of the power of love.

'Standing on my own,
It didn't mean that much to me;
I thought I had it all,
I didn't see the mystery:
I stood the test of time,
I took the step to find
Love's great adventure.

I spoke a million words,
They didn't mean that much to me;
They rang around my head
Like empty tuneless harmonies.
Love's great adventure... oh!

Lying side by side
It didn't mean that much to me;
I started to enjoy
The poetry and symphonies.
I took it in my stride
I hailed the day I tried
Love's great adventure.

A fool who couldn't see,
It didn't mean that much to me;
I couldn't understand
That's how the game is meant to be:
Love's great adventure's mine.

Love's great adventure,
Love's great adventure,
Love's great adventure... oh!

Standing on my own
It didn't mean that much to me;
I thought I had it all
I didn't see the mystery:
I stood the test of time
I took the step to find
Love's great adventure's mine!'

'Wondering' by Good Charlotte



'Wondering' by Good Charlotte

I don't know why it virtually is impossible to find a video of this song that isn't made using some one else's graphics with only the music by Good Charlotte. As I love Final Fantasy, though, and the clip is extremely romantic in many ways, I am posting this version.


'If you want me to wait
I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay
I would stay right through
If you don't wanna say
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Since I was a young man
I never was a fun man
I never had a plan and no security
Then ever since i met you
I never could forget you
I only wanna get you right here next to me

Cause everybody
Needs someone that they can trust and
You're somebody
That I found just in time

If you want me to wait
I would wait for you
If you tell me to stay
I would stay right through
If you don't wanna say
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Now my life is changing
It's always rearranging
It's always getting stranger than I thought it ever could
Ever since I found you
I wanna be around you
I wanna get down to the point that I need you

Cause everybody
Needs someone that they can trust and
You're somebody
That I found just in time

If you want me to wait
I would wait for you
If you tell me to stay
I would stay right through
If you don't wanna say
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Don't tell me
The bad news
Don't tell me anything at all
Just tell me
That you need me
And stay right here with me

If you want me to wait
I would wait for you
If you tell me to stay
I would stay right through
If you don't wanna say
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering...'

It is no wonder that this song has been used as the background for hundreds of videos and films. It basically does get right to the point.



This was the only actual clip I could find by the group, but it's live... great for fans of Good Charlotte but not the best video in terms of sharing the song properly.
