Yes, I was once a pop/reggae/hiphop addict.

[nyankoframe]

I don't know why I did it now, but I bought this CD, as well as Britney Spears' then-new album ("Oops, I Did It Again"), Shaggy's "Hot Shot" album (featuring "Angel" and "It Wasn't Me", among other tracks) and Nelly Furtado's "Whoa, Nelly!" album about 6 years ago. I also bought Michael Learns to Rock's "19 Love Ballads" album (basically a compilation of their previous hits including a new single "The Ghost of You") the following year. I find "25 Minutes" and "The Ghost of You" two of the most poignant songs on that album, and perhaps I will post their lyrics at a later date...

Incidentally, this is the song that I like the most on the 7 CD (S Club 7's first album?), and quite possibly the only one I listen to semi-regularly. :P


When the world leaves you feeling blue
You can count on me
I will be there for you

When it seems all your hopes and dreams
Are a million miles away
I will reassure you

We've got to all stick together
Good friends there for each other
Never ever forget that I've got you and you've got me
So

(chorus)
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your heart's desire
Reach for the stars
And with that rainbow shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true

There's a place waiting just for you
It's a special place where your dreams all come true
Fly away (Fly away)
Swim the ocean (Swim the ocean)
Drive that open road
Leave the past behind you

Don't stop
Gotta keep moving
Your hopes
Gotta keep building
Never ever forget that I've got you and you've got me
So

[chorus]

Don't believe in all that you've been told
The sky's the limit you can reach out for
No one knows just what the future holds
There ain't nothing you can't be
There's more we'll have to be (?)

I said reach
Climb every mountain
Reach for the moon
Follow that rainbow
And your dreams will all come true

[chorus x 5 to fade]
