Bloom or blooming may refer to:
Godfrey Bloom (born 22 November 1949 in London) is a Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire and the Humber for the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). He was first elected in 2004, and re-elected in 2009.
Before becoming an MEP, Bloom worked as a financial economist.
Godfrey Bloom is the president of the European Alliance for Freedom, a eurosceptic pan-European political party.
In 2004, Bloom's election to the Yorkshire and the Humber seat was the UKIP's first seat in the region in the European elections.
A few weeks after his appointment to the European Parliament's Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality on 20 July 2004, Bloom told an interview in Strasbourg that, "No self-respecting small businessman with a brain in the right place would ever employ a lady of child-bearing age. That isn't politically correct, is it, but it's a fact of life. The more women's rights you have, it's actually a bar to their employment." Around the same time, he was reported[by whom?] as commenting, "I just don't think [women] clean behind the fridge enough" and that "I am here to represent Yorkshire women who always have dinner on the table when you get home."

Orlando Bloom was born in Canterbury, Kent, England, and has one sister, Samantha Bloom, who was born in 1975.
His mother, Sonia Constance Josephine (née Copeland), was born in the British section of Kolkata, India, the daughter of Betty Constance Josephine Walker and Francis John Copeland, who was a physician and surgeon. Through her, Bloom is a cousin of photographer Sebastian Copeland. Bloom's maternal grandmother's family lived in Tasmania, Australia, Japan, and India, and were of English descent, some of them having originally come from Kent. During his childhood, Bloom was told that his father was his mother's husband, Jewish South African-born anti-Apartheid novelist Harry Saul Bloom; however, when he was thirteen (nine years after Harry's death), Bloom's mother revealed to him that his biological father was actually Colin Stone, his mother's partner and family friend. Stone, the principal of the Concorde International language school, was made Orlando Bloom's legal guardian after Harry Bloom's death. Bloom is named after the 16th century composer Orlando Gibbons.[citation needed]

Open your mouth wide
Universal sighs
And while the ocean blooms
It?s what keeps me alive
So I lose and start over
Don?t blow your mind with why
I?m moving out of orbit
Turning in somersaults
Turning in somersaults
I dive into those eyes
I dive into those eye
Lying on my back the clouds are smiling
A current flies through the moonlit sky with sweet reprise
Hands open I've lost my grip
The stars are shining down on me as if to say "Your day is over"
Riding on my wave these sails are open
I've been rolling on a wind that's never been mine
And all that night I'm floating with the other ships
I remember when we came together we were just a beacon for the lonely
Yeah when I've lost my way I walked around it
Yeah when I've found my faith I still may doubt it
Yeah this midnight air is cold and barren
Yeah but the bloom of hope it keeps repairing
We watched to sun set fire to the sky that day
We warmed up to so many things we never could have made
And it comes down to this
When we were young the world has lent itself to us but now we owe it all we lost it
Yeah we've lost our way and walked around it
Yeah we've found our faith and then unwound it
Yeah this midnight air is cold and barren
Yeah but the bloom of hope it keeps repairing
I'll search for you and find you
These questions are just answers on the other side of clarity
I'll reach for you and know you
I swear this time I'll pour myself out for you until there's nothing left
Yeah we lost our way but found it
Yeah we will live to see it out
Oh hearts may break to make more room
Yeah but love will find a way to bloom
Love will find a way to bloom
Get down here and sing the songs we sing
In bloom we come
Tentacles swing with the waters breeze
In bloom we...
Crowd around
Drift down slowly
Get rid of your undesirable oxygen
Just drift down with us
In bloom we grow
Together as one
This underwater village
Bebop skippity tippity tap those toes
Queen Sea will take you in
This is your new home now
Ignore the laughter
We will not hurt you
Your last wishes
Queen Sea will take you in
In bloom we know what life is all about
With not a worry in the world
Let the water move you
Move to the sweet sway of nutrition
Move to the sweet sway of melody
Queen Sea will give back life
We used you
Your purpose is clear
We never knew
Floating back to the surface
(Tentacle hearse transportation...
Days and nights and days
Been caught in a rhythm
Can't keep running
Never look
Never looks back
To the promises broken
But can't help wondering
On a day like today
When there's nothing new
What's she gonna do
Another day like today
With the same old view
Chorus:
Stepped out to life
In full bloom
Got lost under the sun
Blinded
She still moves on
Coming undone
When she dreams in color
It's only black and blue
She's like a fading flower
And life's in full bloom
Watching the world
Go around
She picks up the pieces
Goes through the motions
Swears
That she'll never go back
But she can't move forward
Stuck in the middle
On a day like today
When there's nothing
Left to lose
Oh, what's the use
Another like today
Feels like
There's nothing's left
Nothing to lose
(Chorus)
She never dreamed
That she could fly away
She never dreams
That she could fly away
But she still moves on
Coming undone
When she dreams in color
It's black and blue
She's like a fading flower
Springtime is coming again
Flowers lift their heads to the sun
And I wanna bloom with them
But I'm sitting here all alone
Come pick me and take me home
And I will bloom with them
For there's a time when independence
Starts to look like loneliness
Yeah there's a time when independence
Feels a lot like loneliness
Loneliness
Angel can't you see
The world's waiting patiently
For us to bloom with them
Couldn't we bloom with them
Ah we could bloom with them
With them
I can dance without you
But I'd rather dance with you
I can dance without you
But I'd rather dance with you
I can dance without you
But I'd rather dance with you
I can dance without you
But I'd rather dance with you
As my life has run its course,
and my words have lost their soul.
Sighing heavy with remorse,
for the things I put on hold.
And when my name is carved in stone,
and when my thoughts are not my own,
and when my children leave my home,
and then I?m all alone!
All the rights that have gone wrong,
will engrave me on this earth.
I will sing a thousand songs,
just to know that I?ve been heard.
And as my days turn into nights,
I?ll lose my grip and lose my sight.
And when I?m looking towards the light,
I?ll know I?ve fought my fight!
I will go, but will not be forgotten.
All these sins and nothing?s been sinking in!
As my life is flashing by,
not a chance to close my eyes!
Closer
closer
closing...down.
And when my friends all move away,
my hair will fall and turn to gray.
And when I?m lost without a home,
and then I?m all alone!
All alone. Alone.
When I am old.
Run out of time
Winter came just like you said.
I still remember the movies we’d watch at your parents’
house.
Frost out on the lawn, we laughed and talked
walking down the driveway.
There’s just something about December and
the way your eyes seem a little bit brighter and night.
We laid on the hillside and watched cars as they drove
I can still feel you breathing.
When I told you that you’re all I have,
I meant it with everything that I had.
There’s pieces left of us now, but nothing like there
was.
No, nothing like there was.
Winter came just like you said it would.
And with it came the end of us, buried underneath the
snow.
I’m waiting for this frost to recede to put an end
to this isolation. I can’t see through the gloom.
When the cold is gone, with it will go this separation.
Have you ever heard
You are beautiful
I know what you're worth
But you don't see it at all
After the rain has fallen down
The sun comes out
Just keep believing you'll see a new season soon
You're turning into something amazing
Baby, you were born to bloom
Bloom, bloom, bloom
I wish you could see
You were made for more
And your wildest dreams
Can't compare to what God's got in store
Someday soon you'll kiss the sky
Like a butterfly
Just keep believing you'll see a new season soon
You're turning into something amazing
Baby, you were born to bloom
Bloom, bloom, bloom
Bloom
Bloom, bloom, bloom
[x2]
You were made, you were made to bloom
You were made to bloom
You were made to bloom
You were made to bloom
You were made to bloom
Last night, I found out
He's not coming back
I should've known, way back when
We were bound to end
I took my car, talked to stars
Lost without a name
Pulled myself together
I saw the sun come through the rain
Chorus:
It's just a thorn in my rose, I'll use it to bloom
Just a cut in my hand, it'll heal real soon
It's another little lesson, that I already knew
It's just a thorn in my rose, I'll use it
I woke up, alone in bed
But you pulled me back to sleep
A cluttered mind, one bruised heart
Gonna make a brand new start
Yeah I will, watch me now
You are gone, but my soul's around
All I need, is here to stay
I feel love come through this pain
Chorus:
It's just a thorn in my rose, I'll use it to bloom
Just a cut in my hand, it'll heal real soon
It's another little lesson, that I already knew
It's just a thorn in my rose, I'll use it
I won't cry because it's over
I will smile because it happened
It's a beginning to an end
Even without you
I will get by
I'll get, I'lI get by
Chorus:
It's just a thorn in my rose, I'll use it to bloom
Just a cut in my hand, it'll heal real soon
It's another little lesson, that I already knew
It's just a thorn in my rose, I'll use it, use it
Use it, use it, use it to bloom
Oh, how i long to get my feet wet
Cried and yelled the ice as it melted
But will i know it when i see it
Or will i miss the only chance i ever had
No calendar can keep a secret
Time will tell, yes time will tell
And this moment, you can keep it
Only for a while, and it will go
But you'll be thankful
That you are
Not only judged by our messes
And not every word you say embarrasses
Not every wound received needs carresses
Some lessons are best learned
Though having less
And listening
So listen, listen
I do not care about tomorrow
I have seen the future
And we are falling down
To the earth, we'll retreat without a sound
Spinning round
The sun will come to greet and touch the ground
Singing, come along with me
Come along
Come with me
Cos not all those fallen seeds will one day bloom
And not every rotten tree will root again
You live, so what use have you to pretend
There must be something better once this ends
For not all the folks you'll meet have seen your face
And not every road that leads you knows your name
The real ones will always be glad you came
