Vibe of the Week 19

Another song that I found in an animated movie

You can imagine them flying above the ocean with with this song. Yep, it is all about “How to train your dragon” 2010. I have to mention that the whole soundtrack score by John Powell in this movie is terrific. The other installments did good too, but this first one is, in my opinion, the best!

“Sticks and Stone” by Jonsi is so upbeat, it gives you the punch for the whole week. And that is the Vibe of the Week!! Enjoy flying!

Eyes open wide, blinded by the sun now
Orange and white, dark red, green and yellow
Rainbow colors!
Do not hide, see the view!
Step aside, go through!

Against the light, too strong, blow a fuse now
Everything bright, new songs, burning shoes
The look in your eyes!
Break our bones into half!
Scream and shout and do laugh!

Let yourself go, oh oh oh
Let yourself go, oh oh oh

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see, you’ll see

Inn um ermar, upp hryggjarsúluna
Yfir skóg, flæðir niður brekkuna
Allt upp í loft! Ég mun aldrei gleyma!
Því ég mun aldrei!

Hleypur um, rífur, leysir flækjurnar
(Upp með rótum) Með blik í augum!
Stórmerki, undur, brjótum bein í sundur!

Let yourself go, oh oh oh
Let yourself go, oh oh oh

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Right beyond the trees
Show you how you’ll be

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see, you’ll see

Stay close to me
Count one, two, three
Up in your sleeves
You’re right behind me
Stay close to me
Count one, two, three
Up in your sleeves
Burst through the seams

Open your eyes and see
You’ll see
You’ll see

Vibe of the week 12 – Shrek Series Edition

We all have bad days, and most of our Mondays are bad days. So, let’s add a happy beat to make it a bearable bad day. “Royal Pain” by Eels

Shrek The Third (2007) – Get yourself a king! I do like the storyline in this movie. It is about finding yourself, change your fate and accepting your role … a very soul searching adventure.

The cast : Mike Meyer, Eddie murphy and Cameron Diaz came back under a new direction of co-directors Chris Miller and Remain Hui. We see the evolution of characters, their new storyline. But, we still have the comedy, jokes and reference along the way.

The soundtrack is perfectly supporting every scene : from super depressing “9 crimes” by Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan to super happy “Losing streak” by Eels, hyping the action scenes up : “Barracuda” by Fergie or “Immigration song” by Led Zeppelin, and a wink to “Live and let die” by Paul McCartney & The Wings for the drama effect.

I wish you good day, a good week with our Vibe of The Week !

Until next time !

I got some sleep and I needed it
Not a lot just a little bit
Someone’s always trying to keep me from it

It’s a crying shame
It’s a royal pain in the neck
I’m just trying to get by
With my pride a little bit intact

Ask me any question and I’ll level with you
(I’m with you)
I didn’t ask for anything but being with you
That’s the only thing I was born to do

And they’re all insane
Such a royal pain in the neck
I’m just trying to get by
With my pride a little bit intact

Another day is put to the test
Lord knows I’m doing my best
(Do your best)
Never a brother, always a guest

It’s a crying shame
It’s a royal pain in the neck
I’m just trying to get by
With my pride a little bit intact

And they’re all insane
Such a royal pain in the neck
I’m just trying to get by
With my pride just a little bit intact

Vibe of the Week 11 – Shrek Series Edition

Let’s continue with my favorite songs in Shrek Series movies – “Shrek 2” 2004 – . This is a no brainer!

“Shrek 2” 2004 starts with a happy song : Shrek and Fiona are on honey moon! The love montage is adorable. The found true love in each other . Also, this is my to-go song karaoke … after Bohemian Rhapsody !

The same crew (Writer and Director : Andrew Adamson) and cast (Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz) came back with some additional big names : Antonio Banderas, John Cleese, and Julie Andrews . It looks like they made this movie to be able to put every jokes and references they couldn’t fit in the first movie. Hence, the vibe of this second installment is more relax, it has more jokes and many culture references.

The soundtrack is pretty neat as well. Check those titles : “You’re so true” by Joseph Arthur, “I need some sleep” by Eels or “Changes” by Butterfly Boucher and David Bowie.

This is a great song for the Pride Month, Love is love!! That is why it is our Vibe of the Week!

PS : First Line is on hold for the while, life is not very kind with my time and inspiration these days, I need more Vibe Song!

So she said what’s the problem baby
What’s the problem I don’t know
Well maybe I’m in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can’t stop thinking about it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it ’cause I can’t ignore it if it’s love (love)
Makes me want to turn around and face me
But I don’t know nothing about love, oh

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Because everybody’s after love

So I said I’m a snowball running
Running down into the spring that’s coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn’t mean to do it
But there’s no escaping your love, oh

These lines of lightning mean
We’re never alone
Never alone, no, no

Come on, come on
Move a little closer
Come on, come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, come on
Settle down inside my love, oh

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once upon a time in love

We’re accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally

I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love, I’m in love
Accidentally
I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love, I’m in love
Accidentally

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world’s a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her
Love
I’m in love

Vibe of the Week 10 – Shrek Series Edition

Welcome Month of JUNE!!!

And to celebrate this month, I have decided to make a Shrek Series Edition … just because! Have you noticed the songs in those movies though? It deserves to be mentioned.

And, we start of with the beginning “Hey Now, you’re a Rockstar” – “All star” by Smash Mouth

First of! Can you name all the celebrities cameo in this music video ?

Second, when I hear the song, I only have Shrek morning routine in mind! How about you? This was really awesome way to introduce Shrek and a great way to start the day, the week!

Morning Routine

From DreamWorks production, the tagline of “Shrek” 2001 is literally : “The greatest fairy tale never told“. You have the hero, the sidekick, the lady in distress and the dragon, add all of that and you get a fairy tale! The voice artists are : Mike Meyers as Shrek, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, and Eddy Murphy as Donkey. A nice trio that works pretty well! The movie is directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson … hum, no idea who they are … still, they manage to get the Oscar for the Best Animated features in 2002!

Shrek 2001

There are so many others song in this first movie such as “Hallelujah” by Rufus Wainwright, You belong to me by Jason Wade, and may others. But I have decided to go with the beginning!

And with that, I wish you a good day, a good week and until the song!

PS : The Youtube “First Line” is halted at this moment, life came and I have to focus on that! But, Feel free to re-watch the videos!!

PPS : HAPPY PRIDE MONTH !!!

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an “L” on her forehead

Well, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?
You’ll never know if you don’t go
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow

Hey, now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It’s a cool place and they say it gets colder
You’re bundled up now wait ’til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water’s getting warm so you might as well swim
My world’s on fire. How about yours?
That’s the way I like it and I’ll never get bored

Hey, now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

Go for the moon
Go for the moon
Go for the moon
Go for the moon

Hey, now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change

Well, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?
You’ll never know if you don’t go
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow

Hey, now, you’re an all star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

Vibe of the Week 9

To end this month of May, let’s get some looove in the air!

I recently watched “Four weddings and a funeral” (1994) on TV, and oh boy! Hugh Grant was so young!! I have seen with him last in “The Undoing” (2020), a TV series with Nicole Kidman ( I recommend) … The whole cast all have aged. Well, to be fair, there is 26 years between those two movie/series. The British Romcom still get it! it is still enjoyable to watch after 28 years. And, may I say Kristin Scott Thomas is fabulous!

1994 Movie Poster

I can’t talk about this movie without mentioning the spin off they did for “Red Nose Day” in 2019. There was another wedding, and all the characters came back … and some (kids) join the gang!

To be honest, I don’t know where we can find it now! It was available on Youtube when it came out. Now, we only have pictures to enjoy online … one picture in particular just makes my heart smile!

WARNING – SPOILER !!!

Cinderella (Lily James) and Lara Croft (Alicia Vikander) are getting married!

We still can hear the song “Love is all around” by Wet Wet Wet in the short video. And, Kristin Scott Thomas is still fabulous!

So, with love, Enjoy your day, Enjoy your week, and until next time!

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love that’s all around me
And so the feeling grows

It’s written on the wind
It’s everywhere I go, oh yes it is
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show, oh

You know I love you, I always will
My mind’s made up by the way that I feel
There’s no beginning, there’ll be no end
‘Cause on my love you can depend

I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking
Of all the things you said, oh yes I do

You gave your promise to me and I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me in everything I do
Oh, yes I do

You know I love you, I always will
My mind’s made up by the way that I feel
There’s no beginning, there’ll be no end
‘Cause on my love you can depend

I gotta keep it moving

Ooh, it’s written in the wind
Oh, everywhere I go, yeah, ooh yeah
So if you really love me, love me, love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show, baby
Come on and let it show

Vibe of the Week 8

An intense week require an intense song!

Well, the week is not that intense, the beginning of this movie “Black Widow” 2021 is. And boy! that song is just perfect! I had the chance to watch this movie in theater … just that! I just wanted to say I watched it in theater … twice, right after Covid-19 restrictions were lift and theater were open again. Aaaah! Good timse!

The movie is really great, well! it is a Marvel movie after all! Great action scenes, funny lines, and it introduces us to Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh). It was also bittersweet, knowing Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) ‘s fate, I enjoyed her every moment on-screen, every call-backs, and Rachel Weisz.

I knew the “Smell like Teen Spirit” was originally by Nirvana. I didn’t know that the “dark” cover by Malia J. was from 2015. Malia J. said that she was contacted by Marvel in 2020 in the hopes of using her cover of the song. Way to go girl!!

Enjoy your day, enjoy your week and this is song is perfect if you are looking for uplifting inspirational song!

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It’s fun to lose and to pretend
She’s over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low

With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift, I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low

With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it’s hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low

With the lights out, it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial

Vibe of the Week 7

A good dose of upbeat to start the week!

If you know the quote “IT’S SOOOOO FLUFFFFYYYYYYYYY!!! then, we can be friends!

Pharrell Williams‘ songs are always a good choice to start a week to be honest. For this week, we choose “Fun, Fun, Fun” from the movie “Despicable Me” (2010) … the first one, I don’t know why it shows the third installment in the video.

Minions in da place

Did I mention Steve Carell voice the main character ? He is probably my second favorite actor, … the first one being Tom Hanks (Woody in Toy Story). Basically, whoever voice an animated character will have a special place in my favorite actors !

Meanwhile, don’t forget to check my Youtube Channel where I talk with myself about stuff, … mostly movies, but other stuff too!

Enjoy your day, Enjoy your week and see you soon!

PS : The lyrics just hit home!

Take me, far away, anywhere
As long as it’s fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, I wanna go

The school bell rings, what I’ve been waiting for
And you just spring and run for the door
Hey, it’s summer Mom, hey, it’s summer Dad
Man, it’s been so long since the children had
A good time

Hey, maybe it all probably takes it’s toll?
Hey, but didn’t I make honor roll?
Either way eat your words, it’s our time
We deserve
Oh, to have a good time

Take me, far away, anywhere
As long as it’s fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, I wanna go

No more teachers and principals
A good behavior is sensible
Let’s do everything till the summer’s done
It’s the greatest time for a soda, yum

And have a good time
Hey, maybe it all probably takes its toll?
Hey, but didn’t I make honor roll?
Either way, eat your words, its our time
We deserve
Oh, to have a good time

Take me, far away, anywhere
As long as it’s fun, fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun, I wanna go

No more homework or PTA
No more lunch food, it’s toxic waste
Let’s get Mickey D’s, as a matter of fact
Lets get Happy Meals, want a sundae, man?
What a good time
Hey, maybe it all probably takes its toll
Hey, but didn’t I make honor roll?
Either way, eat your words, it’s our time
We deserve
Oh, to have a good time

Vibe of the Week 6

So, I made a First Line video already about this movie. And, of course I found a great song in my favorite movie.

“Le Festin” by Michael Giacchino and sing by Camille just tell you to relax and enjoy eating! The France touch in it is just exquisite. Everytime I hear this song, I just want some wine, cheese and bread on the side. It is a whole vibe!

And Yes, “Ratatouille” 2007 still remain my favorite movie of all time! And, that makes it our Vibe of the Week ! Bon Appetit !

Les rêves des amoureux sont comme le bon vin
Ils donnent de la joie ou bien du chagrin
Affaibli par la faim, je suis malheureux
Volant en chemin tout ce que je peux
Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie

L’espoir est un plat bien trop vite consommé
À sauter les repas je suis habitué
Un voleur solitaire est triste à nourrir
Ah, jeux si amer, je ne peux réussir
Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie

Jamais on ne me dira
Que la course aux étoiles
Ça n’est pas pour moi
Laissez-moi vous émerveiller et prendre mon envol
Nous allons enfin nous régaler

La fête va enfin commencer
Sortez les bouteilles, fini les ennuis
Je dresse le table de ma nouvelle vie
Je suis heureux à l’idée de ce nouveau destin
Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

PS : I got my own Remi!

Remi says hi!

Vibe of the week 5

Let’s start May with a nice beat!

I heard “Gone in the morning” – Newtown Faulkner, in a movie that I enjoyed a lot : “Morning Glory” 2010 with Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton. The script is good, the actors are awesome. And, it is light and fun!

And, the scene in which the song is playing ? Rachel McAdams, in a dress, running in high heels …. You can’t get more hyped than that !

She runs fast too! kudos!

Since then, this song is in my playlist. Every time I hear it, I have this scene play in my head, and it makes me wanna run (with her) too!

And that makes it our Vibe of the Week! Wish you all a nice run and don’t forget to check the Youtube Channel for “First Line” videos !

Off to the land where no one’s been before.
I’m gonna take my shoes of at the door.
I’m gonna go with dreams that will explode. (oowooh)
When the alarm goes off, I just won’t know.

Wont you come with me?
Wont you, come with me
Wont you, before they’re

Gone in the morning, I wanna know why
Their gone in the morning, I feel alone when they’re
Gone in the morning, I wanna know why they’re
Gone in the morning and I

I don’t mind, what’s in store
Make it in my own sweet time
When I go,

I’m gonna master all kinds of kung-fu
I’m gonna live inside a tiny zoo.
I’m gonna grow myself a giant Afro (incredible fro)
When the alarm goes off I just won’t know.

Wont you come with me?
Wont you, come with me
Wont you, before they’re

Gone in the morning, I wanna know why
They’re gone in the morning, I feel alone when they’re
Gone in the morning, I wanna know why they’re
Gone in the morning and I

I don’t mind, what’s in store
Make it in my own sweet time
When I go, oh I don’t want to go

Wont you come with me?
Wont you, come with me
Wont you, before they’re

Gone in the morning, I wanna know why
They’re gone in the morning, I feel alone when they’re
Gone in the morning, I wanna know why they’re
Gone in the morning and I

Gone in the morning, I wanna know why
They’re gone in the morning, I feel alone when they’re
Gone in the morning, I wanna know why they’re
Gone in the morning and I

Vibe of the Week 4

I watched the movie in theater when it came out and I was pleasantly surprise how great it was! And of course, I discovered this song …

The movie “Irresistible” 2020 is directed by Jon Stewart, with Steve Carrell in leading role, … but is he really? It came out in between two lockdown periods. So, I was craving for some big action movie. And, the only action scene was Mackenzie Davis having her arm up in a “hole” … Go watch the trailer!

The song “Mess is mine” by Vance Joy is soothing your way to a new week. That is our Vibe of the Week!

Don’t forget to subscribe to my Youtube Channel, where we re-discover all great movies we like to re-watch! We can put this one on the list …

Talking like we used to do
It was always me and you
Shaken up and shipping out
Check me in and check me out

Do you like walking in the rain
When you think of love, do you think of pain
You can tell me what you see
I will choose what I believe

Hold on, darling
This body is yours, this body is yours and mine
Hold on my darling
This mess was yours, now your mess is mine

See you in the market place
Walking around at 8 AM
Got two hours before my flight
Luck be on my side tonight

You’re the reason that I feel so strong
The reason that I’m hanging on
You know you gave me all that time
Did I give enough of mine

Hold on, darling
This body is yours, this body is yours and mine
Hold on my darling
This mess was yours, now your mess is mine
Your mess is mine
Your mess is mine

Bring me to your house and tell me
Sorry for the mess, “Hey I don’t mind”
You’re talking in your sleep, out of time
Well you still make sense to me, your mess is mine

Your mess is mine
This body is yours and this body is mine
Your mess is mine
Your mess is mine
