Wonderful Life
Black(Colin Vearncombe) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eye
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
The sun's in your eyes
the heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
because you're there
And I need a friend
oh I need a friend
to make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
I need a friend, oh I need a friend
To make me happy, not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Wonderful life
Wonderful life
The opening verse of "Wonderful Life" by Black (Colin Vearncombe) paints a picture of the singer setting out to sea with the sun shining on his face and dreams filling the air around him. He is on his own, but he stands tall in the sunshine, feeling as though magic is all around him. However, there is a sense of dissatisfaction as he acknowledges that it feels unfair to be experiencing such beauty without someone special by his side to share it with. This feeling of loneliness and desire for connection is further explored in the subsequent verses, where the singer expresses a need for a friend to make him happy and not leave him standing alone.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "It's a wonderful, wonderful life" emphasizing a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the beauty of the world around him. The repetition, paired with the upbeat melody, creates a sense of joy that is juxtaposed with the underlying melancholy of the verses. The song seems to suggest that even in moments of beauty and wonder, there can still be a sense of loneliness that can only be eased by the presence of someone else.

"Cudowne życie"
Oto wychodzę nad morze ponownie.
Światło słońca wypełnia moje włosy,
a marzenia wiszą w powietrzu.
Mewy na niebie i w moich niebieskich oczach.
Wiesz, że to niesprawiedliwe.
Wszędzie jest magia.
Spójrz na mnie, stojącego tu
znowu samotnie..
W blasku słońca.
Nie ma potrzeby uciekać i ukrywać się,
to jest cudowne, cudowne życie...
Nie ma potrzeby śmiać się i płakać...
To cudowne, cudowne życie.
Słońce w Twoich oczach
I ciepło w Twoich włosach.
Wydaje się, że Cię nie znoszą
tylko za to, że jesteś tam.
A ja potrzebuje przyjaciela..
Och, jak potrzebuję przyjaciela!
Który uczyni mnie szczęśliwym.
Abym nie stał tutaj sam.
Spójrz na mnie, stojącego tu
znowu samotnie..
W blasku słońca.
Nie ma potrzeby uciekać i ukrywać się,
to jest cudowne, cudowne życie...
Nie ma potrzeby śmiać się i płakać...
To cudowne, cudowne życie.
Potrzebuję przyjaciela...
Och, jak potrzebuję przyjaciela!
Który uczyni mnie szczęśliwym.
Bym nie był taki samotny.
Nie ma potrzeby, aby uciekać i ukrywać się,
to jest cudowne, cudowne życie...
Nie ma potrzeby śmiać się i płakać...
To cudowne, cudowne życie.
Cudowne życie.

Что такое гений... Не рвал глотку, не выпрыгивал из штанов, не использовал бэк-вокал и подтанцовку, не набрасывал эффекты на голос, не одевался в блестки, не перекусывал на сцене пернатым шею. Просто, прекрасная мелодия и прекрасный текст. Вышла бессмертная песня.
@gs8526
Как я с тобой согласен. Привет из Германии! 👍
@valerapshenichnyj5625
Согласен, но Оззи тоже гений

@Valera Pshenichnyj а то, что когда он обнаружил, что мышь была живая и обосрался от страха и побежал делать прививку, это ведомо тебе?
@valerapshenichnyj5625
@Decimal а то ,что эта мышь была резиновая , тебе известно ? Ты пробовал хоть раз взять и бросить живую летучую мышь на сцену ,да чтоб она не взлетела ,как это обычно бывает,а упала к ногам великого Оззи , а потом лежала и ждала пока ей откусят голову ? Я даже в то время, когда узнал об этом, подумал ,что мышка вряд-ли была живой , или мертвая или игрушечная . А уж спустя столько лет , можно придумывать разные легенды . Оззи концерт продолжил , если что .

My wife and I were on a trip to Ireland to bring in the new year of 2016. We ended up staying an extra week, we were in a restaurant and I recognised Colin sitting with friends and sent the table a bottle of wine.
He came over, shook our hands and was totally charming. When we asked for our bill, we were told Mr Vercombe had taken care of it. A short time later he was gone. RIP Colin and thank you.
