xmas 07 stroll

After having watched "August Rush" I decided for a little walk around the city center, expecting to capture a few shots of the decorated building fronts and all. I ended up taking 108 pictures, some of which I'm sharing here in a new format, a slideshow. The soundtrack is a song by Dina Carroll. I've always liked listening to it around this time of the year, as it captures the mood and change best in my opinion. It goes back to a movie, which I'll look up later, maybe along with the lyrics.
Enjoy - and have a great Happy New Year everyone!

Oh - the lyrics:

Ring out the old, bring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you
Your lips are warm, my head is light
Were we in love before tonight?

I don't need a crowded ballroom everything I need is here
If you're with me next year will be
The perfect year

No need to hear the music play,
You eyes say all there is to say
The stars can fade and they can shine
'Long as your face is next to mine

I don't need a crowded ball room everything I need is here
If you're with me next year will be
The perfect year

We don't need a crowded ballroom everything we need is here
If your with me next year will be
The perfect year

It's New Year's Eve and hopes are high
Dance one year in, kiss one goodbye
Another chance, another start
So many dreams to tease the heart

We don't need a crowded ballroom everything we need is here
And face to face we will embrace
The perfect year
Oh, we don't need a crowded ballroom everything we need is here
And face to face we shall embrace
The perfect year
Ahh, the perfect year
