Kara DioGuardi singing Strangers and Angels

The first time I reallized this song is when one of American Idol season 8 contestants sang this song in the audition. 

She just mentioned it in front of the judges on the live show. After that, me and I think other people also searched for this song in Google.

Several days after that, Kara published this video on her website, I'm so happy to get, and I'm just crazy about this song :)

Kara..this is good performance, good song, it's just awesome!

Verse 1: 

Why is that man taking all my time bringing me down cuz he's beggin for a dime 

why don’t he get a job 

why is that girl holding up the line don’t she know i've got somewhere to be got a busy night 

why don't she hurry up 

sometimes it feels like they're all against me 

standing in my way 

Chorus: 

but what if these strangers are telling me something 

oh i gotta slow up I'm always in a rush 

what if these strangers are really my lessons and the little i have is gonna be enough 

maybe i should be thankful stop being so ungrateful what if these strangers, just what if they're angels. what if they're angels from above 

Verse 2: 

so what if those kids who that are crossin the road are keeping me from somewhere that i'm not yet supposed to go 

and they're teaching me patience.. patience 

we're all living like we're made of steel like the clock aint tickin away 

Chorus: 

but what if these strangers are telling me something 

oh i gotta slow up I'm always in a rush 

what if these strangers are really my lessons and the little i have is gonna be enough 

maybe i should be thankful stop being so ungrateful 

what if these strangers just what if they're angels. what if they're angels from above 

Bridge: 

so what if that man who was takin up my time is about to say something that was gonna change my life 

I think I've figured it out 

Chorus 2: 

oh all of these strangers are telling me something oh i gotta slow up I'm always in a rush all of these strangers are really my lessons and the little i have is gonna be enough 

maybe i should be thankful stop being so ungrateful all of theses strangers just what if they're angels. what if they're angels from above 

a a a angels a a a angels from above

Jason Reeves and Kara DioGuardi sing "Terrified"

 

One of the best performances by Kara DioGuardi and Jason Reeves. This song called "Terrified" and I think haven't published yet... I'm waiting for this song in Kara DioGuardi album, I hope so :)

Kara, this is artistry!! :p

Very amazing and original..you have a very good voice.

Lala Lala la la 

Mmmmmm mmm 

You by the light 

Is the greatest find 

In a world 

Full of wrong 

Your the thing thats right 

Finally made it 

Through the lonely 

To the other side 

You set it again 

My hearts in motion 

Every word feels 

Like a shooting star 

Im at the edge of my emotions 

Watching the shadows 

Burning in the dark 

And Im in love 

And Im terrifed 

For the first time 

And the last time 

In my only life 

Life 

This could be good 

Its already better than that 

And nothings worse 

Than knowing your holding back 

I could be all that you need 

If you let me try 

You set it again 

My hearts in motion 

Every word feels 

Like a shooting star 

Im at the edge of my emotions 

Watching the shadows 

Burning in the dark 

And Im in love 

And Im terrified 

For the first time 

And the last time 

In my only life 

I only said it 'cause I mean it 

Oh I only mean it 

'Couse its true 

So dont you tear 

What I've been dreaming 

'Couse it keeps me up 

And holds me close 

Whenever Im without you 

You set it again 

My hearts in motions 

Every word feels 

Like a shooting star 

Im at the edge of my emotions 

Watching the shadows 

Burning in the dark 

And Im in love 

And Im terrified 

For the first time 

And the last time 

In my only life 

Life, life 

In my only life

Lost by Kara DioGuardi

"Lost" is a song written by Kara DioGuardi and Mitch Allan and was recored by Faith Hill on her album "The Hits".

But, this is another version of "Lost" by Kara DioGuardi..I like this version because it's very original..very good job, Kara!

Is it obvious to you

When you walk into a room

Your face is all I see

And my heart races so fast

I never knew a rush to feel like that

Everytime you're touching me

I never did believe in anything

I couldn't hold between my fingers

But the way you make me feel

It's just so real the way it lingers

I get lost inside your stare

Lost when you're not there

And everything I have 

Doesn't mean a thing if it's without you

If it's a dream

Don't wake me up

I'll scream if this isn't love

If bein' lost means never knowin' how it feels without you

I wanna stay lost forever

I wanna stay lost forever.. with you.

No this feelin' doesn't end

It's with me everywhere I am

Hope it never goes away

It's like defying gravity

I'm losing all control in bein' free

And I always wanna stay

I never thought that I'd let go long enough

To fall for someone deeply

Who had the power to erase my fears

And find me so completely

I get lost inside your stare

Lost when you're not there

And everything I have 

Doesn't mean a thing if it's without you

If it's a dream

Don't wake me up

I'll scream if this isn't love

If bein' lost means never knowin' how it feels without you

I wanna stay lost..

Don't tell me where we're goin'

I don't wanna know

I like the mystery

I can't believe we've come this far

So far away from where we started off

You found me when I wasn't lookin'

You found me..

And now I'm lost inside your stare

Lost when you're not there

And everything I have

Doesn't mean a thing if it's without you

Without you..

If it's a dream

Don't wake me up

I'll scream if this isn't love

If bein' lost means never knowin' how it feels without you

Yeah..

If bein' lost means never knowin' how it feels without you

Oh..

If bein' lost means that I'm never gonna be without you..

I wanna stay lost forever..

I wanna stay lost forever

..With you.

In studio with Kara DioGuardi and Celine Dion for "Surprise Surprise".

Kara written this song and recorded by Celine in her album "Taking Chances". From this video we can see the capability of Kara as a producer, song writer and also singer.. She has a really nice voice,huh??!

I really like this song, not only because this Kara's song, but also because I like the lyrics..it's very common situation in a relationship and I think many people will through this phase in their relationship. Good job, Kara! oh..and for Celine, she also very good singer and have an amazing vocal :)

"Surprise Surprise"

Surprise, surprise
I told you lies
I thought the truth would set you free
Surprise, surprise
It isn't all as it seems
But who knew you'd wake up from your dreams

If I told you myself
I could've saved you the hell
Now look who's sorry, God, I'm so sorry
It's never the right time
I guess it's do or die

Just when you think you've got me figured out
Just when you think you know me well
Baby, you've barely even broke the ice
My river runs wide
You're not in sight
But you're closer than you were

Tonight, I'm a chameleon
And every spot's hiding my scars
But I will survive
Cause I'll only let you in
When I can be sure of who you are

And you can call it a game
But it's me playing safe
And God I'm so sorry, I'm just so sorry
What can I say?
It's hard trying to stay alive

Just when you think you've got me figured out
Just when you think you know me well
Baby, you've barely even broke the ice
My river runs wide
You're not in sight
But you're closer than you were

You were tonight, tonight, tonight

And it's in your eyes
That it's all or nothing
What I can't disguise
Is that you're on to something
I let myself go, will you still want me?
Will I be enough? The fear of that haunts me
'Cause what if you walk away?

Just when you think you've got me figured out
Just when you think you know me well
Baby, you've barely even broke the ice
My river runs wide
You're not in sight
But you're closer than you were

You were tonight, tonight, tonight

Just when you think you've got me figured out
Just when you think you've got me figured out
Surprise, surprise
