And I saw it coming
I saw emptiness and tragedy
And I felt like running
So far away
But knew I had to stay
And I know when I'm older
I look back and I still feel the pain
I know I'll be stronger and I know I'll be fine
For the rest of my days
I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
I noticed the smallest things
But I didn't notice the change
It was hot in the morning
Then it turned so cold, twas the end of the day
There was no condensation I just felt like I was in space
I needed my friends there I just turned around
They were gone without a trace
I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
Now I have just started
And I won't be done till the end
There's nothing I have lost
That was once placed upon the palm of my hands
And all of these hard times
Have faded round the bend
Now that I'm wiser I cannot wait
Till I can help my friends
I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
Seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
Seen better

The Greatest Showman is a
2017 American musical biographical drama film directed by Michael Gracey in his
directorial debut, written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon and starring Hugh
Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya. Featuring
nine original songs from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the film is inspired by
the story of P. T. Barnum's creation of Barnum's American Museum and the lives
of its star attractions.
Principal photography began
in New York City in November 2016. The film premiered on December 8, 2017,
aboard RMS Queen Mary 2. It was released in the United States on December 20,
2017, by 20th Century Fox, seven months after Ringling Bros. and Barnum &
Bailey Circus ceased operations, and grossed over $434 million worldwide,
making it the fifth-highest-grossing live-action musical of all time.
The Greatest Showman received
mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the performances, music, and production
values, but criticism for its artistic license, with some reviewers calling it
"faux-inspiring and shallow". At the 75th Golden Globe Awards, the
film received nominations for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best
Actor – Musical or Comedy for Jackman. For the song "This Is Me", the
film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and was nominated for Best
Original Song at the 90th Academy Awards and won the Best Compilation
Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.
Hugh Michael Jackman AC(born
12 October 1968) is an
Australian–British actor, singer, and producer. He is best known for playing Wolverine
in the X-Men film series from 2000 to 2018, a role for which he holds the Guinness
World Record for "longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero".
Jackman is also recognised for his lead roles in films such as the romantic
comedy Kate & Leopold(2001), the action film Van Helsing(2004), the drama The
Prestige(2006), the fantasy drama The Fountain(2006), the period romance Australia(2008),
the film version of Les Misérables(2012), the thriller Prisoners (2013), and
the musical The Greatest Showman(2017), for which he received a Grammy Award for
Best Soundtrack Album. For playing Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, he was
nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor and won the Golden Globe Award
for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.
In Broadway theatre,
Jackman won the 2004 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role in The
Boy from Oz. A four-time host of the Tony Awards, he won an Emmy Award for
hosting the 2005 ceremony. He also hosted the 81st Academy Awards in 2009.
Jackman was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia in the 2019 Queen's
Birthday Honours for services to performing arts and to the global community.
This song is an exception
on the album in that it was co-written not only by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul
(like all the rest soundtrack's songs), but also by Ryan Lewis, who also
co-produced the song.
In the USA, "The Greatest Show" did not enter
the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number five on the Bubbling Under Hot 100
Singles chart.
This track wasn't able to enter the New Zealand Top 40
Singles Chart, but reached the number 3 on the New Zealand Heatseeker Singles
Chart.
Panic! At The Disco performs
this song on the album "The Greatest Showman: Reimagined" (2018), a

Woah
[Hugh Jackman]
Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for
(woah)
Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through
the floor (woah)
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you
can't ignore
Taking your breath, stealing your mind
And all that was real is left behind
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see getting closer
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over
It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open
It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall
It's holding all that you know, so tell me do you
wanna go?
[Ensemble and Hugh Jackman]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
[Hugh Jackman]
(Woah) colossal we come these renegades in the rain
(Woah) where the lost get found in the crown of the
circus king
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
It's blinding, outshining everything that you know
Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna go
[Ensemble and Hugh Jackman]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, intoxicating you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down

Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show

It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be

reference that makes sense of life." The concept originally appeared in
the Kurt Vonnegut novel Mother Night.

Oh, saturday sun
I met someone
Out on the West Coast
I gotta get back, I can't let this go
Oh, saturday sun
I met someone
Don't care what it costs
No ray of sunlight's ever lost
So tired of sleepin' alone
So tired of eatin' alone
I need to ask her what's goin' on
Are we goin' strong?
She fell at rest in her hair
My shoulder was the perfect height
We fit so right, so what's goin' on?
'Cause I've been undone
The long drive, the coastline
Lookin' out at first light
Am I still on her mind?
I've been undone
Oh, saturday sun
I met someone
Out on the West Coast
I gotta get back, I can't let this go
Oh, saturday sun
I met someone
Don't care what it costs
No ray of sunlight's ever lost
Ever lost
Ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-b-ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-b-ba-ba
And still the memory's right there
She put the breeze in my hair
No kiss was softer, softer than this
I'm readin' her lips, oh
Each line I read
She left her books in my bed
And her song in my head
I've been undone
Oh, saturday sun
I met someone
Out on the West Coast
I gotta get back, I can't let this go
Oh, saturday sun
I met someone
Don't care what it costs
No ray of sunlight's ever lost
Ever lost
Ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-b-ba-ba

GONZAGUINHA
COMPOSITOR: GONZAGUINHA
PAÍS: BRASIL
ÁLBUM: CORAÇÕES MARGINAIS
GRAVADORA: WEA DISCOS
GÊNERO: MPB
ANO: 1988
Luiz Gonzaga do Nascimento Júnior, mais conhecido como Gonzaguinha(Rio
de Janeiro, 22 de setembro de 1945 – Renascença, 29 de abril de 1991), foi um cantor
e compositor brasileiro.
Gonzaguinha era filho registrado, mas não natural, do
cantor e compositor pernambucano Luiz Gonzaga e de Odaleia Guedes dos Santos,
cantora do Dancing Brasil.
Compôs a primeira canção "Lembranças da
Primavera" aos 14 anos, e em 1961, com 16 anos, foi morar no bairro de Cocotá,
na ilha do Governador, com o pai para estudar. Mais tarde, estudou Economia na Universidade
Cândido Mendes. Na casa do psiquiatra Aluízio Porto Carrero conheceu e se
tornou amigo de Ivan Lins. Conheceu também a primeira mulher, Ângela, com quem
teve 2 filhos: Daniel e Fernanda. Teve depois uma filha com a atriz Sandra Pêra,
a atriz e cantora Amora Pêra.
Foi nessa convivência na casa do psiquiatra, que fundou o
Movimento Artístico Universitário (MAU), com Aldir Blanc, Ivan Lins, Márcio
Proença, Paulo Emílio e César Costa Filho. Tal movimento teve importante papel
na música popular do Brasil nos anos 70 e em 1971 resultou no programa na TV
Globo Som Livre Exportação.
Caracterizado por uma postura de crítica à ditadura, foi
visado pelo DOPS. Assim, das 72 canções mostradas a esse órgão, 54 foram censuradas,
entre as quais o primeiro sucesso, Comportamento Geral. Neste início de
carreira, a apresentação agressiva e pouco agradável aos olhos dos meios de
comunicação valeu-lhe o apelido de "cantor rancor", com canções
ásperas, como Piada Infeliz e Erva. Com o começo da abertura política, na
segunda metade da década de 1970, começou a modificar o discurso e a compor
canções de tom mais aprazível para o público da época, como Começaria Tudo
Outra Vez, Explode Coração, Grito de Alerta, Lindo Lago do Amor e O que É o que
É, e também temas de reggae, como Nem o Pobre nem o Rei.
No VI Festival Internacional da Canção Popular
As composições foram gravadas por muitos dos grandes
intérpretes da MPB, como Gal Costa, Maria Bethânia, Zizi Possi, Simone, Elis
Regina(Redescobrir ou Ciranda de Pedra), Fagner, e Joanna. Dentre estas,
destaca-se Simone com os grandes sucessos de Sangrando, Mulher, e daí e Começaria
tudo outra vez, Da maior liberdade, É, Petúnia Resedá.
Em 1975, dispensou os empresários e tornou-se um artista
independente, o que fez em 1986 fundar o selo Moleque, pelo qual chegou a
gravar dois trabalhos.
Nos últimos doze anos de vida, Gonzaguinha viveu em Belo
Horizonte com a segunda mulher Louise Margarete Martins (Lelete) e a filha
deles, a caçula Mariana.
Gonzaguinha morreu aos 45 anos em 29 de abril de 1991,
vítima de um acidente automobilístico. Ao regressar de uma apresentação em Pato
Branco, no Paraná, o cantor dirigia um Monza por volta de 7h20 da manhã em uma
rodovia no sudoeste daquele estado, quando colidiu com um caminhão. Gonzaguinha
estava se dirigindo para Foz do Iguaçu, de onde seguiria de avião para Florianópolis,
onde tinha um show agendado.
