Stay (Far Away, So Close) by U2

Green light, 7-Eleven

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes

You don't smoke, don't even want to

Hey now, check your change

Dressed up like a car crash

Your wheels are turning but you're upside down

You say when he hits you, you don't mind

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive

Oh no, is that what it is?

Red lights, gray morning

You stumble out of a hole in the ground

A vampire or a victim

It depends on who's around

You used to stay in to watch the adverts

You could lip sync to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me

And when you talk, you talk at me

And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay then the night would give you up

Stay, and the day would keep its trust

Stay, and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close

Up with the static and the radio

With satellite television

You can go anywhere

Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast, and Berlin

And if you listen I can't call

And if you jump, you just might fall

And if you shout I'll only hear you

If I could stay then the night would give you up

Stay, then the day would keep its trust

Stay, with the demons you drowned

Stay, with the spirit I found

Stay, and the night would be enough

Three o'clock in the morning

It's quiet and there's no one around

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel hits the ground

Wish You Were Here

Hye .....

It's been a while...

Well, i'll only write if there's one song that really touch me somewhere.

And, its this song: 'all those crazy things you said...', I just wish you were here...

hmmm.....  

Wish You Were Here by Avril Lavigne


I can be tough, I can be strong
But with you, it's not like that at all
There's a girl that gives a shit
Behind this wall you just walk through it

And I remember
All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
Right now I wish you were here


All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here


Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you here,here, here
(I wish you were here)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you near,near, near
(I wish you were here)


I love, the way you are
It's who I am, don't have to try hard
We always say, say it like it is
And the truth, is that I really miss….


All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
Right now I wish you were here….


All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here


Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
(I wish you were here)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
(I wish you were here)


No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I, never wanna let go
Let go oh oh..... 
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
(I wish you were here)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you near,near, near
(I wish you were here)

Someone Like You

Wut can I say...

I guess this song is definitely one of the best this year.

Listening to this song, I'm starting to missing my 'ol buddies..

..and the typical part of me-those memories will refresh again..

However, most of all, the song's lyrics was so meaningful...

"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.."

"Someone Like You" by Adele


I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,"
Yeah...

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Faithfully

This is one of the best song in the 80's.

As I always had mentioned: Those songs cant never be compared.

Journey: Then

Journey: Now

Haven't heard this song for quite a while, until recently, while I was at Patong beach, the live band singer sang this song.

I was "ahhh....my favorite song".

My heart pounding while listening to him...of coz I do sang along....

(Another nice song by Journey- 'Dont Stop Believing')

Now I'd felt the emptiness...sigh...

*******************

Faithfully by Journey


Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart
Ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Whooa, oh-oh-ooh
Whooa, oh-oh-ooh, oh
Whooa, oh-oh-oh, oh-whoooooa-oh
Faithfully....
I'm still yours

I'm forever yours
Ever yours
Faithfully....

Never Say Goodbye

Perhaps this is the best song to describe 'today'

Today, is just a new beginning. Where the chain ends, it is definitely out of our control.

I just went through the flow and making things right.

Keep on telling myself today : Few years ago, i kept on asking myself:

a. When will 'my day' gonna be?

b. And, how long am i suppose to stay?

Finally, suddenly today, all my questions are answered.

Whether am gonna be better or doomed, there is no answers at the moment. But one thing forsure, am thankful for all the friends around me. And, am glad am still surround by my friends.

Ciest la vie guys...

My fav song - for the day...

"Never Say Goodbye" by Bon Jovi

As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle's my only friend

Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat baby

Remember how we used to talk
About busting out - we'd break their hearts
Together - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go

Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong

We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go
Together - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
yeah yeah

Don't Go Away

This song is spashly dedicated to my bunch of frenz cum colleagues.

For some reason, we'd met just so quick, became click, but then need to be departed.

We're cool, as much as it shown in these pics of Reality Bites.

It's sad that I'm gonna leave. Gonna meet new frenz...

Hope we're gonna hang out again..some other time.

Good luck guyz..gonna miss you...

But think of it again, actually we are just alone...

no matter where we are, we're gonna left alone one day...

Oasis - Don't Go Away

Cold and frosty morning - there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind.
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind.

And I wanna be there when you're coming down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away,
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
'cause I need more time,
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind.
Damn my education - I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind.

And I wanna be there when you're coming down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away,
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
'cause I need more time,
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Me and you - what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong.


So don't go away,
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
'cause I need more time,
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

So don't go away....

In These Arms

I simply love this song.

Mainly coz it is somekind of a love song but in a fast beat, & energetic.

This was wayyyy back in my uni time, miss those dayz tho...

BTW- i love BJ's cover album below. This song was from this album.

Those hands really means 'keep the faith'. Brilliant!!

"In These Arms" by Bon Jovi

You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with fire
Until the end of time
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
To have you in these arms tonight

Baby I want you
Like the roses want the rain
You know I need you
Like a poet needs the pain
I would give anything
My blood, my love, my life
If you were in these arms tonight

I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'til the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

We stared at the sun
And we made a promise
A promise this world would never blind us
And these were our words
Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
and I still believe
If you were in these arms

I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'til the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

Your clothes are still scattered
All over our room
This whole place still smells like
Your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
And there's nothing
That I wouldn't do...

And these were our words
They keep me strong, baby!

I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'til the end of time
If you were in these arms... tonight

If you were in these arms... tonight
If you were in these arms... tonight
If you were in these arms...
