Sometimes When We Touch.
Vocals: Bonnie Tyler (Latter born Gaynor Hopkins in Skewen, Wales, known for her wonderful distinctive husky voice).
Original Lyrics: Dan Hill.
Music: Barry Mann.
Dan Hill was inspired to write this beautiful song, after being in love with someone who did not have similar feelings to himself; in the hope same would capture her and win her over.
Sometimes When We Touch.
You ask me if I love you.
I choke on my reply.
I’d rather hurt you honestly,
Than mislead you with a lie.
And who am I to judge you,
On what you say or do?
When I’m only just beginning,
To see the real you.
And sometimes when we touch,
The honesty’s too much,
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you ’til I die,
‘Til we both break down and cry.
I wanna hold you,
‘Til the fear in me subsides.
Romance with all its strategy,
Leaves me battling with my pride.
And through the insecurity,
Some tenderness survives.
I’m just another writer,
Still trapped within my truth.
A hesitant prize fighter,
Still trapped within his youth.
And sometimes when we touch,
The honesty’s too much,
Then I have to close my eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you ’til I die,
‘Til we both break down and cry.
I wanna hold you,
‘Til the fear in me subsides.
Oh at times I’d want to break you,
And drive you to your knees.
At times I want to break through,
And hold you endlessly.
And sometimes when we touch,
The honesty’s too much,
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
Yes I wanna hold you ’til I die,
‘Til we both break down and cry.
I wanna hold you,
‘Til the fear in me subsides.

Ireland’s first satellite EIRSAT-1 (Educational Irish Research Satellite 1), which has taken just over five years to develop, is now ready for launching, possibly between mid-January and mid-February of this current year.
The satellite was designed, developed, built and tested at University College Dublin (UCD) and will be launched 520km into the sky from the European spaceport in French Guiana, on the northeast coast of South America, before orbiting the Earth for some five years; to return to earth and UCD.
Last year the Irish Government signed of an agreement to facilitate the launch of the developed EIRSAT-1 satellite, having received funding from Science Foundation Ireland (SFI); the Irish Research Council; Enterprise Ireland, UCD, Openet, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE), and the European Space Education Resource Office (ESE).
The Irish government intend to register the satellite on the UN Register of Objects Launched into Outer Space.
Assistant professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at UCD, Dr David McKeown, was the engineering manager on the project, and this being the first Irish designed satellite; Dr McKeown hopes this project will lay the ground work for larger satellites into the future.

Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
And here’s a hand, my trusty fiere, (friend)
And gie’s a hand o’ thine,
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

“Bringing In A Brand New Year”
Vocals: Riley B. King (known professionally as B.B. King.)
Lyrics: Charles Brown.
Bringing In A Brand New Year
At the stroke of midnight,
On that great big holiday,
We’re going to have a ball, and that ain’t all.
I’m gonna chase my blues away.
I’ll be bringin’ in a brand new year,
Bringin’ in a brand new year,
So listen dear, won’t you meet me here,
While I’m bringin’ in a brand new year.
Gonna be a great big parade,
I got my resolution made.
Gonna ride above the stars,
We might even take a trip to mars.
I’ll be bringin’ in a brand new year,
Bringin’ in a brand new year.
So listen dear, won’t you meet me here,
While bringin’ in a brand new year.
Oh sailin’ down on a rainbow,
I’ll flirt with lady moon.
If she sighs or winks her eye,
I won’t be back ’til June.
I’ll be bringin’ in a brand new year,
Bringin’ in a brand new year,
So listen dear, won’t you meet me here,
While I’m bringin’ in a brand new year.

We Are The World
There comes a time when we heed a certain call.
When the world must come together as one.
There are people dying.
Oh, when it’s time to lend a hand to life.
The greatest gift of all.
We can’t go on pretending day by day,
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change.
We are all a part of God’s great big family,
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need.
We are the world, we are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So let’s start giving.
There’s a choice we’re making,
We’re saving our own lives.
It’s true, we’ll make a better day,
Just you and me.
Well, send them your heart so they’ll know that someone cares,
And their lives will be stronger and free.
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread,
And so we all must lend a helping hand.
We are the world, we are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So let’s start giving.
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making,
We’re saving our own lives.
It’s true, we’ll make a better day,
Just you and me.
When you’re down and out, and there seems no hope at all,
But if you just believe, there’s no way we can fall.
Well, well, well,
Let us realize, oh, that a change can only come,
When we stand together as one.
We are the world, we are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So let’s start giving.
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making,
We’re saving our own lives.
It’s true, we’ll make a better day,
Just you and me.
