… I can tell by your eyes That you've probably been cryin' forever And the stars in the sky Don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
… I don't wanna talk about it How you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart? Oh, whoa, heart
… If I stand all alone Will the shadow hide the color of my heart? Blue for the tears, black for the night's Fears the stars in the sky Don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
… I don't wanna talk about it How you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart? Oh, my heart
… I don't wanna talk about it How you broke this old heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart My heart Oh, my heart
Lyrics are coming to you all the time. I get inspiration in the middle of the night.
Today, The Morgans and TheGrandma arevisiting Connor MacLeod, an immortal Grandma's friend, who was born in the ScottishHighlands in the 16th century.
Highlander is a 1986 British fantasy action-adventure film directed by Russell Mulcahy and based on a story by Gregory Widen. It stars Christopher Lambert, Roxanne Hart, Clancy Brown, and SeanConnery.
The film chronicles the climax of an age-old war between immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past and present-day storylines.
Connor MacLeod (Lambert) is born in the Scottish Highlands in the 16th century.
After reviving from a fatal wound and being banished from his village,
MacLeod is found by swordsman Ramírez (Connery), who explains they and
others were born immortal, invincible unless beheaded.
Immortals
wage a secret war, fighting each other until the last few remaining
will meet at the Gathering to fight for the Prize. In 1985, the Gathering is finally happening in New York City and MacLeod must make sure the Prize is not won by his oldest enemy, the murderous Kurgan (Brown).
Highlander
enjoyed little success on its initial theatrical release, grossing over
$12 million worldwide against a production budget of $19 million, and
received mixed reviews. Nevertheless, it became a cult film and inspired film sequels and television spin-offs.
It is also known for songs recorded by the rock band Queen, with Princes of the Universe also used for the title sequence in the television series. The tagline, There can be only one, has carried on into pop culture.
Director Russell Mulcahy filmed Highlander using music video techniques including fast cutting and pacy music.
In preparation, actor Christopher Lambert
spent months working four hours each morning with a dialect coach and
four hours in the afternoons sword training with Bob Anderson, who had
been a Darth Vader stunt double in the Star Wars franchise.
The scene where the MacLeod clan sets off to battle is supposed to take place in the village of Glenfinnan, on the shore of Loch Shiel
in the Lochaber area, but was actually filmed at Eilean Donan Castle,
which is in the same general area but is really on the shore of Loch
Duich, a sea loch near Kyle of Lochalsh and the Isle of Skye.
The Highlander original orchestral score was composed by Michael Kamen.
The British rock band Marillion turned down the chance to record the
soundtrack because they were on a world tour, a missed opportunity which
guitarist Steve Rothery later said he regretted. The band's Scottish
lead singer, Fish, had also accepted a part in the film but pulled out
because of the scheduling conflict.
David
Bowie, Sting, and Duran Duran were considered to do the soundtrack for
the film. The eventual soundtrack includes several songs by Queen, such as A Kind of Magic and Princes of the Universe (the latter also being used for the Highlander television series title sequence).
Brian May was inspired to write Who Wants to Live Forever after watching the love scenes between Connor and his wife Heather, and the song ultimately accompanied the film.

Paris in his teens.

For his performance in the 1985 film Subway, Lambert received the César Award for Best Actor. His best-known role is Connor MacLeod in the 1986 cult adventure-fantasy film Highlander and the subsequent film franchise series of the same name.

Today, The Grandma and The Winsors have arrived to the Highlands in the north of Scotland where they ar visiting Connor MacLeod, the ScottishHighlander who can not die.
During the trip, the family has been studying some English grammar with Used to and containers. Finally, they have been talking about immortality with the figure of Henry Morgan and about sleeplessness with the story of the American troops in Vietnam war.
Connor MacLeodwas born in 1518 in Glenfinnan, in the Scottish Highlander near the
shores of Loch Shiel, a few years after King Henry VII of England gave
his daughter in marriage to James IV of Scotland, leading to the Union of the
Crowns in 1503.
MacLeodfaced an evil Immortal referred to as The Kurgan during a battle against the
Clan Fraser and was dealt what should have been a fatal blow, but he didn’t die
and the townspeople (including his family) believed his recovery was the work
of devil, and threatened to burn him at the stake. He escaped and tried to
begin a new life but he discovered, quickly, he wasn’t a normal man: he was Immortal.
In 1541, he met another Immortal named Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez, who
became his mentor and taught him the ways of Immortals. Connor led many
different lives: Adrian Montagu, Jacques Lefebert, Alfred Nicholson and Rupert
Wallingford, and he, constantly, kept his immortality a secret. During his
lifetime, he fought in many wars and encountered many Immortals.
In 1985, MacLeod
was living in New York in the guise of Russell Nash, when he had to fight against
his ancient enemy, The Kurgan.
Finally, he won the battle and confirmed the legend: There can be only one.

This morning, The Jones have revised some English grammar before travelling to Scotland. They have talked about how to create nouns (Gerunds) from a verb and about Imperative in affirmative and negative forms. They have also written some profiles about them.
The family has received an important present from The Grandma: the last IPhone model. She bought lots of them in the last World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, and they have tested them sending some WhatsApp’s and tweets and playing with some new apps like Who is Who?, an interesting mobile application to find a hidden character after asking for some questions; Memo, another app that is useful to describe cards with the idea of finding its partner; The Bomb, a stressing game where you need speed and vocabulary and Simon, a funny mobile app about memory.
The Grandma has started to do one of her favourite things: explaining stories. Today, she has explained one story about Capuccinos in Sant Boi and their relationship with the philosophers like Ramon Llull and ascetics like Santa Teresa de Jesús or Fray Luis de León. The little story has been useful to talk about the syntactic order of the sentences.
Samanta Jones has talked about the loss of Hubert de Givenchy, the famous French designer. She's a fashion designer and nobody better than her to talk about one of her references.
This afternoon, The Jones have flying from Barcelona to Edinburg to start her Scottish visit accompanied by Connor MacLeod and his family. Tomorrow, The Grandma is going to explain some stories in common between Sant Boi and Scotland and they're going to plan their visit in this amazing and unforgettable country, plenty of legends, history, and the most important: wonderful people.
Alba is the Scottish Gaelic name for Scotland. It is cognate with the Irish term Alba and the Manx term Nalbin, the two other Goidelic Insular Celtic languages, as well as contemporary words used in Cornish (Alban) and Welsh (Yr Alban), both of which are Brythonic Insular Celtic languages.
Paqui and Silvia Jones with some MacLeods
In the past these terms were names for Great Britain as a whole, related to the Brythonic name Albion.
The term first appears in classical texts as Ἀλβίων Albíon or Ἀλουΐων Alouíon, in Ptolemy's writings in Greek, and later as Albion in Latin documents. Historically, the term refers to Britain as a whole and is ultimately based on the Indo-European root for white. It later came to be used by Gaelic speakers in the form of Alba as the name given to the former kingdom of the Picts which when first used in this sense had expanded. The region Breadalbane, Bràghad Albann, the upper part of Alba, takes its name from it as well.
As time passed that kingdom incorporated others to the southern territories. It became re-Latinized in the High Medieval period as Albania. This latter word was employed mainly by Celto-Latin writers, and most famously by Geoffrey of Monmouth. It was this word which passed into Middle English as Albany, although very rarely was this used for the Kingdom of Scotland, but rather for the notional Duchy of Albany. It is from the latter that Albany, the capital of the US state of New York, takes its name.
