Albert, The Prince Consort / Saxe-Coburg & Gotha - [Better Days - Goo Goo Dolls]

Today is the anniversary of Prince Albert's, Consort of Queen Victoria, untimely death in 1861. The greatest man that I do know. Let us all pray for what he did for the world and what he could have done.

[Lyrics]
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

(Note: My personal royal hero is Prince Albert. I find him a source of inspiration. I admire his intelligence and foresightedness. I'm planning on naming my eldest son, Albert for good luck. ^^

Alright, you're all free to bash me. I didn't want to do the transitions on this video either. I actually finished this video in November but when I was planning on working on the transitions, test sprang up out of no where!

I might not be working on any videoes in January because Vicklchen is currently hard at work on her play, "War Among Men". :D I'll put in the introduction for my fans to read. Please no bashing ^_^'

"Russia. One sixth of the world's land. Ruled by the supreme dynasty of the Romanovs. But all is not well in St. Petersburg. After the reformation started by Peter the Great, the whole of Russia has been rocked to its core. Lost, internal factions within the Imperial family are threatening to explode. A thin thread hangs between stability and chaos and that thread is threatening to snap. George VII of Russia, the only legitimate heir of Peter IV, is dying and he knows it. With much foresight, he sees the destruction of his empire through the struggle between his two eldest son, Charles and William. Unable to do anything to salvage his kingdom, all George can do is protect his one precious possession, his daughter: Augusta. A marriage between Frederick of Prussia comes in fruition, which is where our story begins.... "

This story is completely fictional and none of the characters are real so don't go around looking for them! :P Hope you enjoy)
