The seagulls are specks in the distance 
The tide slides up and down the beach
I’d like to touch those clouds I see
But I know they’re always out of reach

Like cotton wool they drift apart 
Revealing a sky of spotless blue
And the seagulls speak so far away
Sounds that bring me back to you

Dancing on the sand I feel so free
There’s no one here, just you and me

A boat bounces with the rhythm of the waves
The wind breathes whispers into my ears
The seagulls hover and circle above
Just like they did for so many years

All those years we danced and danced 
Down by the sea just a memory
But it burns like fire and it hurts so bad
I wish that I could just let it be

Dancing on the sand I feel so free
There’s no one here, just you and me

Dancing on the sand I feel so free
There’s no one here, just you and me

Melomedic

By JOEL

A fast and up beat song with a particularly melodic chorus in which the lyrical I promises a second person to be their cure and to make them lose their worries and doubts. The song is intended as a fast pop song that is intended to put the listener in a good mood.

Mr. Cool

By Andrea Pflüger

Diese Situation kennen wahrscheinlich viele Menschen. Man streitet sich oder trennt sich gar und es fällt einem dann schwer, auf den anderen zuzugehen, sich zu entschuldigen oder miteinander zu reden. Nach außen hin will man sich seine Gefühle/Leiden nicht anmerken lassen, da man Angst hat, dass dies ein Zeichen von Schwäche wäre. Doch oftmals ist es es einfach wert, über seinen Schatten zu springen. Dies gilt auch für die Mrs. Cool.
