LYRICS

You could be the one in my dreams You could be much more than you seem Anything I wanted in life Do you understand what I mean? I can see that this could be faith I can love you more than they hate Doesn’t matter who they will blame We can beat them at their own game

I can see it in your eyes It doesn’t count as a surprise I see you dancing like a star No matter how different we are

For all this time I've been loving you (loving you) Don’t even know your name For just one night, we could be the same (be the same) No matter what they say

And I feel I'm turning the page And I feel the world is a stage I don’t think that drama will stop I don’t think they’ll give up the rage But I know the world could be great I can love you more than they hate Doesn’t matter who they will blame We can beat them at their own game

I can see it in your eyes It doesn’t count as a surprise I see you dancing like a star No matter how different we are

For all this time I’ve been loving you (loving you) Don’t even know your name For just one night, we could be the same (be the same) No matter what they say (they say ...)

For all this time I’ve been loving you (loving you) Don’t even know your name For just one night, we could be the same (be the same) No matter what they say No matter what they say

No matter what they say (what they say) We could be the same No matter what they say **__ ABOUT THE GROUP __** The story of maNga began when Yağmur Sarıgül “Yamyam” (Guitar) seperated his ways with the band he played with at local bars. His plan for his new band was to combine rock music and electronic music bringing hard guitar riffs and rap vocals together. The group began to form when Özgür Can Öney (Drums), Efe Yılmaz (Turntable),Ferman Akgül (Vocals) and Cem Bahtiyar (Bass Guitar) joined the new band. As a result the band was named maNga after the traditional Japanese cartoon art, bringing five different characters, five different music styles and five different world views together. They began touring Turkey, giving more than 50 concerts and sharing their music with different crowds.

After the album’s release, maNga had many concerts and participated in many national and international festivals (Sziget Festival, Mannheim Turkish Rock Festival, Wembley Arena, London). Giving more than 250 concerts nationwide.

Moreover maNga has won “Best European Act” award at MTV Europe Music Awards 2009 On November 5th, 2009. In 2009, maNga has won numerous awards including the best video, the best band, the best song, the best album and the best performance.

Taking the winds of “Best European Act” to their back, maNga was selected to represent Turkey in the 55th Eurovision Song Contest by TRT (Turkish Radio and Television).

On May 29th, 2010, maNga competed in the 55th Eurovision Song Contest held in Oslo and ranked 2nd with the song “We Could Be The Same”. maNga brought the second biggest success to Turkey in its Eurovision history.

**__ WHY I'VE CHOSEN THIS SONG __** I've always liked this song since the first tme i heard it (that this was in EUROVISION). It was the song that had captivated my attention. I also like this type of rock/electronical music it's a perfect combination. I play the drum kit so I also was attracted by the sound that prodeced the drum kit. It's a very energic song and with a very good rythm. Another thing that I liked about this song was the style of the group and also what facinated me was how they permormed the song. **__ WHAT DO THE LYRICS SAY AND WHAT EFFECT DO THEY CAUSE __**  The lyrics talk about the differences between men and women (or different religions also or even diferent groups of people). They are separated by a type of metallic fence and they are distinguished by to different colours: the black and the white.

They are separeted by some type of reason and they talk about a women that is in the opposite side and they talk about her and say that she could be the one of they dreams but they don't know it because there is a long distance between them but they shurley think that she is their love. We can also see that they are willing to fight to eliminate this differences so that finally they can end up together.

Refering to the second video we can compare it to the lyrics and see that they are message they are trying to say is that the women in the robot suite is unacessable but further on we can see how he beggins to take the robot parts from her body off meaning that the differences that separated her are slowy dissapearing so at the end we can see how that women that represented that she could be the perfect one for that man come true because they have eliminated those differences and ended up together.

The chorus is very expresive it says why can't they leave their differnces appart only for one night so they could be the same because his been loving her for all this time and because of this differences he even doesn't know her name. He als says that it doen't matter how different they are. They want to be together but its difficult.
