Monsters.
Vocals: English singer, songwriter and musician James Blunt.
Lyrics: Jimmy Hogarth – James Blunt – Amy Wadge.
The songwriter James Blunt opens up about his father in a new ballad entitled ‘Monsters’, which feature on his sixth studio album,“Once Upon A Mind” released last month.
Monsters.
Oh, before they turn off all the lights,
I won’t read you your wrongs or your rights.
The time has gone,
I’ll tell you goodnight, close the door,
Tell you I love you once more,
The time has gone,
So here it is.
I’m not your son, you’re not my father,
We’re just two grown men saying goodbye.
No need to forgive, no need to forget,
I know your mistakes and you know mine,
And while you’re sleeping I’ll try to make you proud.
So, daddy, won’t you just close your eyes?
Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn,
To chase the monsters away.
Oh, well, I’ll read a story to you,
Only difference is this one is true,
The time has gone.
I folded your clothes on the chair,
I hope you sleep well, don’t be scared,
The time has gone,
So here it is.
I’m not your son, you’re not my father,
We’re just two grown men saying goodbye.
No need to forgive, no need to forget,
I know your mistakes and you know mine,
And while you’re sleeping I’ll try to make you proud,
So, daddy, won’t you just close your eyes?
Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn,
To chase the monsters away.
Sleep a lifetime,
Yes, and breathe a last word,
You can feel my hand on your own.
I will be the last one,
So I’ll leave a light on.
Let there be no darkness, in your heart,
But I’m not your son, you’re not my father,
We’re just two grown men saying goodbye,
No need to forgive, no need to forget,
I know your mistakes and you know mine,
And while you’re sleeping I’ll try to make you proud,
So, daddy, won’t you just close your eyes?
Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn,
To chase the monsters away.

Here on Thurles.info, [Which today celebrates having been viewed by over 4 million readers to date], we regularly highlight unhealthy foods that receive health warnings from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).
In this modern age of ultra processed foods, it is often hard to know what exactly we are eating, since it often is so far removed from its natural origins. Foods are replete and well supplied with additives and other ingredients and it is hard to know what is truly safe and what is unsafe.
If you want to know more about the foods you eat and whether or not they are healthy, then you should download, to your Smartphone, the Yuka Application, (App).
But first do take the time to view the video shown hereunder.
This Yuka App is totally free and unsponsored, and will inform you on the levels of additives, saturates, proteins and sugars in your food, by simply scanning the barcode on all food packaging offered for sale.
What’s more, it will tell you how hazardous any additives are and why. It also tells you what is to be found in your shampoos, soaps and other cosmetics.
How to download the Yuka Application unto all phones.
To download the Yuka App, simply visit the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store and search for Yuka, [ https://yuka.io/en/ ]. From now on take a little time with your shopping and use your Smartphone to scan barcodes on packaging and instantly learn if any intended item should be purchased.
With rising prices, time has come for consumers to dictate to Supermarket chains what products they should stock and which are most healthy; rather than what it is they deem as being most profitable.
Remember, Yuka’s information and recommendations should not replace a healthy balanced diet. Always consult a GP for advice on the best diet for you, as an individual.
No Matter What.
Lyrics: English composer and impresario of musical theatre, Baron Andrew Lloyd Webber and American composer, lyricist and record producer Jim Steinman written for the musical “Whistle Down the Wind,”
Vocals: Irish boy band of the 90’s “Boyzone”.
The song, hereunder, serves to emphasize the power of unconditional love, while accepting and forgiving loved ones for who they are; their deficiencies and inadequacies, which often emerge only during challenging times.
No Matter What.
No matter what they tell us, no matter what they do,
No matter what they teach us, what we believe is true,
No matter what they call us, however they attack,
No matter where they take us, we’ll find our own way back.
I can’t deny what I believe, I can’t be what I’m not,
I know I’ll love forever, I know no matter what.
If only tears were laughter, if only night was day,
If only prayers were answered, then we would hear God say,
No matter what they tell you, no matter what they do,
No matter what they teach you, what you believe is true.
And I will keep you safe and strong and sheltered from the storm,
No matter where it’s barren, a dream is being born,
No matter who they follow, no matter where they lead,
No matter how they judge us, I’ll be everyone you need,
No matter if the sun don’t shine, or if the skies are blue,
No matter what the end is, my life began with you.
I can’t deny what I believe, I can’t be what I’m not,
I know, I know, I know that love’s forever,
That’s all that matters now, no matter what.
No, no matter (no no matter what),
No, no matter (no no matter what),
No, no matter, that’s all that matters to me (no no matter what),
No, no matter, that’s all that matters to me (no no matter what),
No, no matter, that’s all that matters to me (no no matter what),
No, no matter, that’s all that matters to me (no no matter what),
And no, no matter what, that’s all that matters to me (no no matter what),
And no, no matter what, that’s all that matters to me.

Better.
Vocals: British singer-songwriter Tom Baxter
Lyrics: Singer Songwriters Sam Semple and Tom Baxter.
Better.
Our love has changed, it’s not the same,
And the only way to say it, is say it, it’s better.
I can’t conceal this way I feel,
For all the time we spent together, forever, just get’s better.
See what I’m tryna say is you make things, better
And no matter what the day is, with you here, it’s better
I’ll stand by you, if you stand by me.
I think it’s time I reveal, cos I believe it, it’s better.
See what I’m tryna say is you make things, better,
And no matter what the day is, with you here, it’s better.
The more I talk to you, I fall in love with, everything you do,
Oh, see what I’m tryna say is, you make things, better,
And no matter what the day is with you here, it’s better.
Oh, see what I’m tryna say is, you make things, better,
And no matter what the day is with you here, it’s better.
Our love has changed, it’s not the same,
And the only way to say it is say it, it’s better.

Perhaps Love.
Lyrics: Written by American Folk singer and songwriter, the late John Denver (Real name Henry John Deutschendorf Jr.).
Sadly Mr Denver lost his life on the 12th of this month October, 26 years ago, [1997], following multiple blunt force trauma; obtained when his light home built aircraft crashed into Monterey Bay, near Pacific Grove, California, USA.
Vocals: John Denver.
Perhaps Love
Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm.
It exists to give you comfort; it is there to keep you warm.
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone,
The memory of love will bring you home.
Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door.
It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more.
And even if you lose yourself and don’t know what to do,
The memory of love will see you through.
Oh, love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel.
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel.
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go.
And some say love is everything and some say they don’t know.
Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of change.
Like a fire when it’s cold outside or thunder when it rains.
If I should live forever and all my dreams come true, my memories of love will be of you.
