《La La Land》Audition (The Fools Who Dream) Lyrics My aunt used to live in Paris. I remember, she used to come home and she would tell us these stories about being abroad. And I remember, she told us that she jumped into the river once. Barefoot . She smiled... Leapt without looking And tumbled into the Seine The water was freezing She spent a month sneezing But said she would do it again Here's to the ones who dream Foolish as they may seem Here's to the hearts that ache Here's to the mess we make She captured a feeling Sky with no ceiling The sunset inside a frame She lived in her liquor And died with a flicker I'll always remember the flame Here's to the ones who dream Foolish as they may seem Here's to the hearts that ache Here's to the mess we make She told me: "A bit of madness is key To give us new colors to see Who knows where it will lead us?

The BOLD, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful   Movie Review   The most impressive and enjoyed movie this year.   The story and the making of it,   it is something which is very different. The firm tells the story of an all-female family running antiques business that is quite mysterious . I t's a suspense drama, concluding politics struggle, love and the social incidents happened in Taiwan. The BOLD satire on   important issues and make fun of it. The plot was quite complex   and fast-moving . I love the soundtrack   of   The BOLD ,its one of the highlights in this movie. And the breathtaking scenery that shot in gorgeous and loving detail. Overall,   The BOLD is exciting, creative, and meaningful—and well worth a few hours of your time. The trailer is below.  The BOLD, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful. https://youtu.be/knadvKVGw3o Tools: 1. Google:blu 2.OXford:green   3.Linggle:red
