lucky love belongs in teenage heaven
I'm going to confess to the guilty pleasures of Celene Dion and Ace of Base music. Both perform most of their songs in the uplifting Major key, and have very happy, light and fluffy lyrics. In the lyrical style of Duran Duran, Ace of Base lyrics don't often make sense. They're written to convey a feeling instead of making any kind of point. 'Beautiful Morning' seems to fit today:
What a beautiful morning in my life
The best in life is free
Iíll give it all away
And I wonder what more is to come
Believe me
Crows will always fly
Believe me
Theyíre only birds
You have to let go
And you will see things in a different light

Ace of Base has to be one of my favorite groups. Got to see them in concert back in like '91 in Kansas City. Great group. (I agree about the no nonsense lyrics)

Is a "fleeling" a fleeting feeling, or a typo?
Never got up the nerve to spend money on it, but "The Heart Will Go On" was Celine at her best. I hear it on the PA system at the grocery store sometimes.

New light.
Seeing you.
Shocked.
Not necessarily in a bad way.
