annaland's song of the day


The earth was spinning all vacant and waste
And there was silence over the ocean
When a voice came thundering from above
The first day of light was in motion

Then the voice said may fruits be created
And seeds take root as they may
And no crimes were as yet committed...
An life was breathing it's second day

And in his image the voice made a man
And a woman to love each other
And they became the rulers of the world
And the third day was their mother

Now who will pray for Babylon
Sing a song to Babylon
On your knees before Babylon
You beat that drum because Babylon is falling

Man and woman learnt how to make fire
And the kingdom's walls were extended
By the fourth day the walls were reaching so far
No-one knew when they ended

Now no one heard that voice anymore
And metal-cities came to ascend
On the fifth day spring turned into fall
And a rain fell over the land

But no walls can stop such a rain
That keeps on falling forever more
I was told that by the sixth day
The earth was like an open sore

Now who will pray for Babylon
Sing a song to Babylon
On your knees before Babylon
Beat that drum because Babylon is falling

The earth was spinning all vacant and waste
And there was silence over the oceans
When a voice came thundering from above
The seventh day was in motion

Now who will prey for Babylon
Sing a song to Babylon
On your knees before Babylon
Beat that drum because Babylon is falling
Falling

[Spoken outro]
I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created, and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground, for I regret that I have made them

Rupert Holmes Highest-Paid Singer in the World

It's been a rough year for the singer, but at least he has his millions of dollars to ease the pain. 69-year-old Rupert Holmes has taken the No. 1 spot on People With Money’s top 10 highest-paid singers for 2016 with an estimated $82 million in combined earnings.

Rupert Holmes tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2014 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (December 28) that Holmes is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2015 and November 2016, a nearly $50 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The American singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $245 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Holmes Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Northwich Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderholmes - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Rupert) and a fashion line called “Rupert Holmes Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Rupert fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
