Tina Turner – Something Beautiful Remains (Official Music Video):
“Lyrics:
Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains
We’re living in world, stars and dust
Between heaven ‘n all that surrounds us
We’re travellers here, spirits passing through
And the love we give, is all that will endure
Hey now, what we had is gone
But I still remember you
Just like a rose after the rain
Something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains
Now the darkness falls
Sun’s going down
One by one, the stars are coming out
Tide comes in, washes footprints from the sand
One day ends, a new day must begin
Hey now, though we are apart
You’re forever in my dreams
Hey now, love is lost again
(What u gonna do about it
What u gonna say)
Something beautiful remains
Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains
And you wonder sometimes how we carry on
When you’ve lost the love the knew
But it’s alright, it’s alright
To your own heart be true
Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains”

Tina Turner – We Don’t Need Another Hero (Official Music Video) [Live]:
“Lyrics:
Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can’t make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change
Living under the fear ’til nothing else remains
We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
The thunderdome
Looking for something
We can rely on
There’s gotta be something better out there
Love and compassion
Their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change
Living under the fear ’til nothing else remains
All the children say
We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
The thunderdome
So what do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a light
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing
We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
The thunderdome”

“‘Harry Potter’ star Robbie Coltrane has died. He was 72. Reports say the actor was battling health issues over the last two years. ‘Harry Potter’ author J.K. Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe remember Robbie, who played the beloved Rubeus Hagrid in the film franchise, with touching tributes.”
“Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury DBE (16 October 1925 – 11 October 2022) was an Irish-British and American actress and singer who played many film, theatre, and television roles. Her career, one of the longest in the entertainment industry, spanned over 80 years, much of it in the United States; her work also received much international attention. At the time of her death, she was one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema.
Lansbury was born to an upper-middle-class family in central London, the daughter of Irish actress Moyna Macgill and English politician Edgar Lansbury. To escape the Blitz, she moved to the United States in 1940, studying acting in New York City. Proceeding to Hollywood in 1942, she signed to MGM and obtained her first film roles, in Gaslight (1944) and The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), earning her two Oscar nominations and a Golden Globe Award. She appeared in 11 further MGM films, mostly in minor roles, and after her contract ended in 1952 she began supplementing her cinematic work with theatrical appearances. Although largely seen as a B-list star during this period, her appearance in the film The Manchurian Candidate (1962) received widespread acclaim and is cited as being one of her finer performances, leading her to her third Academy Award nomination. Moving into musical theatre, Lansbury finally gained stardom for playing the leading role in the Broadway musical Mame (1966), which earned her her first Tony Award and established her as a gay icon.
Amid difficulties in her personal life, Lansbury moved from California to County Cork, Ireland in 1970, and continued with a variety of theatrical and cinematic appearances throughout that decade. These included leading roles in the stage musicals Gypsy, Sweeney Todd, and The King and I, as well as in the hit Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971). Moving into television in 1984, she achieved worldwide fame as fictional writer and sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the American whodunit series Murder, She Wrote, which ran for 12 seasons until 1996, becoming one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history. Through Corymore Productions, a company that she co-owned with her husband Peter Shaw, Lansbury assumed ownership of the series and was its executive producer for the final four seasons. She also moved into voice work, contributing to animated films like Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991) and Don Bluth’s Anastasia (1997). She toured in a variety of international productions and continued to make occasional film appearances such as Nanny McPhee (2005) and Mary Poppins Returns (2018).
Lansbury received an Honorary Academy Award, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BAFTA, a Lifetime Achievement Tony Award and five additional Tony Awards, six Golden Globes, and an Olivier Award. She also was nominated for numerous other industry awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress on three occasions, and various Primetime Emmy Awards on 18 occasions, and a Grammy Award. In 2014, Lansbury was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. She was the subject of three biographies.
Lansbury died at 1:30am PDT on 11 October 2022, five days before her 97th birthday, at her home in Los Angeles. Her children issued a statement saying that Lansbury had died “peacefully in her sleep.”
A really sad death.
