Starlight

I guess this song would suit to be posted on my birthday.

Listen to this song recently,

One cool song I must say...

"Starlight" by Muse

Far away…
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight…
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

What Can I Do

One of the most famous song perhaps in the year 1997.
To me, this is kind of cute and sweet song, furthermore it is quite catchy. Still remember, this song was in the radio for almost each day and night.

Btw, am listening to Hitzfm and Mixfm at that time. Was my heyday, but probably not that ‘hey’..(what am I talking???).

-just an ordinary angel-

"What Can I Do" by The Corrs

I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

No more waiting, no more, aching...
No more fighting, no more, trying...

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

And love me... love me...

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word

A beautiful song by Sir Elton.

The lyrics meant so much to me-what is it to make you love me...and what is it to make you want me.

Well, all seems pretty 'cold' for me.

A good night kiss was somehow awkward (in fact-never) and those 3 magical-words, it was something never been heard.

But, girl.. she just dont mind..as long as she just dont mind....

Sorry Seems to be The hardest Word by Elton John

What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there?

What I got to do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation.
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word.

What do I do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation.
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word


What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be the hardest word.

Sacrifice

Ouch, its October now. Another year is about to over.

My achievement this year??? hmmm....

Ok, this number is really a big hit in the year probably 91 or 92, I just cant really recall.

What a 'touching' song. And its mtv video, is still one of my favourite, till today; still recalling the guy dancing with the girl..what a lovely moment.

But above all....it is all 'bout the 'sacrifice'.

'Sacrifice' by Elton John


It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands

Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through

And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

And it's no sacrifice..

Just a simple word

Its two hearts living

In two separate worlds

But it's no sacrifice

No sacrifice...

It's no sacrifice at all...

How's It Going To Be

This, a very very meaningful song for me.

A thoughtful song what I'd called it.

It was when I was surrounded by questions, questions that I'll never gonna got the answer.

Yup, I was damn lonely, no one to talk to at that time.

I gave a lot of thoughts of 'how its gonna be'.

But now, whats gonna be is what its gonna be...I just couldnt find 'it'.

'How's It Going To Be' by Third Eye Blind


I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
Before you take a swing
I wonder...
What are we fighting for?

When I say out loud
I want to get out of this
I wonder...
Is there anything I'm going to miss?


How's it going to be
When you don't know me
How's it going to be
When you're sure I'm not there,


How's it going to be
When there is no one there to talk to about
How it's going to be

'Cause I don't care
How's it going to be...

Where we used to laugh
There's a shouting match
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch

A silence I can't ignore,
Like . .
The hammocks and the doorways we spent time in
Swing empty


I don't see lightning like last fall
When it was always..
About to hit me



I guess that is...
How it's going to be
How's it going to be...

-from the year 1997-

The Reason

I was once admiring this song, few years back. A nice one,

-sometimes wonder wherever I may roam-

'The Reason' by Hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is You..

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Live Forever

One of my Oasis's favourite.

Nice song, but whos gonna live forever anyway,

Live Forever by Oasis

Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows cos I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain as it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly,
Wanna live, I dont wanna die
Maybe I just want to breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I said maybe I don't really wantna know
How your garden grows cos I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain as it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows cos I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain as it soaks you to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly,
Wanna live, I dont wanna die
Maybe I just want to breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever

Gonna live forever....

Thoughts

There aint any lyric this time. I just wanna share something on MJ's.
I couldnt help but to shed a tear, really. I just cant read these sort of things.

Michael Jackson's daughter Paris has fallen asleep every night since her dad's death clutching a doll he gave her as a gift.

The grieving 11-year-old holds the toy tightly in her bed because it still smells of her beloved father.
And her uncle Jermaine also told The Sun how Paris and her brother Prince Michael, 12, have had the heartbreaking task of explaining to seven-year-old Blanket that their dad is gone for ever.

He said: "Blanket is very young and so sweet - too cute for words - but he's very smart.
"I think he understands his dad has passed because of the ceremony. Paris and Prince are very bright and they have tried to explain it to him. And there is a therapist with them to help them get through this time as well.

"Paris sleeps with a teddy bear with Michael's scent on - it's so cute. It's a little doll that he gave her and she sleeps holding it every night."

The tragic and sudden loss of their 50-year-old father on June 25 left the children devastated - but Jermaine insists they are coping with their grief.

He said Michael was - and will always be - their dad.
He added: "My understanding of the parentage is that Michael treated those kids like any father would.

"He is their dad and all of this about sperm I know nothing about.
"All I know is that from day one they were his kids because of all the love and devotion he gave them and the love they gave him back.

While Jermaine agrees that they will help spread Michael's legacy, he thinks they have done it in very different way - by making the superstar human.

He added: "Paris talking at the memorial was a moment to let the world know he was a human being. His daughter saying, 'My Daddy'.

"It wasn't about all the ridicule people put him through and all the crazy names they called him over the years.

"He has children, nieces and nephews - family that love him. When she said that, it let the world know he was a human being - 'My Daddy'. "

If God Will Send His Angels

Again..something from the 90's.

One of my U2's fav. Indeed, a good one!.

(too bad the song is not in Playlists, couldnt share it here)

If God Will Send His Angel by U2

Nobody else here baby
No-one else here to blame
No-one to point the finger
It's just you and me and the rain.

Nobody made you do it
No one put words in your mouth.
Nobody here taking orders
When love took a train heading south.
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs.

Hey, if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright?

God's got his phone off the hook, babe
Would he even pick up if he could?
It's been a while since we saw that child
Hangin' round this neighbourhood.

See his mother dealing in a doorway
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl.
And Jesus' sister's eyes are a blister
The High Street never looked so low.

It's the blind leading the blond
It's the cops collecting for the cons.
So where is the hope and
Where is the faith and the love?
What's that you say to me
Does love light up your Christmas tree?
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news.

If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
Well if God will send his angels
Where do we go?
Where do we go?

Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score.
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door.

It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
But I guess it was something to go on.
Hey, if God will send his angels
I sure could use them here right now
Well, if God will send his angels...

Where do we go?..
Where do we go?..

Halo

"Halo" by Beyonce

Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But, I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out!

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo....

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I'm never gonna shut you out!

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo...

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo...

Man In the Mirror

My most fav Jacko's song, ever.

"Man In The Mirror" by Michael Jackson

I'm gonna make a change,
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good,
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right . . .

As I, turn up the collar on my
Favourite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street,
With not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs

A summer's disregard,
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on
The wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why now I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
Take a look at yourself, and
Then make a change
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish
Kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me,
Pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred,
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
They follow the pattern of
The wind, ya' see
Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
Take a look at yourself and
Then make that . . .
Change!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
Take a look at yourself and
Then make the change
(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)
You can't close your . . .Your mind!
That Man, That Man, That Man, That Man
With that man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, Oh Yeah!)
That Man, That Man, That Man
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)

You know . . .That man
No message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
Take a look at yourself and
Then make a…change!
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah

Gonna Feel Real Good Now!
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah

I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Come on!
(Change . . .)

Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it.
Yourself!
I've got to make that change,
Today!
(Man in the mirror)

You got to
You got to not let yourself . . .Brother . . .

You know-I've got to get
That Man, That Man . . .(Man in the mirror)
You've got to
You've got to move!
Come on! Come on!
You got to . . .
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!


Stand up and lift
Yourself, Now!
(Man in the mirror)
Gonna make that change . . .
Come on!
(Man in the mirror)
You know it!

(Change . . .)
Make that change.

You are Not Alone

A Tribute to MJ

The King of pop is gone.

To me, he's an icon. With his moonwalker and lots of other energetic and unique dance.

To me, he's the one and only.

'Bout a month ago, got a chance to watched the movie '13 goes 30'. Theres a slot of 'thriller' dance in the movie. Yup, i suddenly realize, theres nothing like it! And we will always recall those 'zombie's' dance.

I can say I grew up while he was famous with Thriller and Bad. Nice one.

But here, I wanna share one of my MJ's favourite song.

This was when I was in MIT, way back in 1995.

"You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone...

God of Wine

Those dayz..whether I’m in bloom or gloom, am just not sure.

Those hangover just got me everywhere. And 'God of wine’ was my daily song.

Walking those path in the middle of the nite, people passing by…chasing cars and that warm breeze.. those was sumting that I cant just explain.

I was all alone...and those...it'll never came back.

Those were my dayz….shut-up.

God of Wine by Third Eye Blind

Every thought that I repent
There’s another chip you haven’t spent
And you’re cashing them all in
Where do we begin to get clean again
Can we get clean again…

I walk home alone with you
And the mood you’re born into
Sometimes you let me in
And I take it on the chin
I cant get clean again..
I want to know can we get clean again

The God of wine comes crashing through
The head lights of a car that took you farther
Than you thought you’d ever want to go
We cant get back again
We cant get back again

She takes a drink and then she waits
The alcohol it permeates
And soon the cells give way, and cancels out the day
I can’t keep it all together
I know I know I know... I can’t keep it all together

And the sirens song that is your madness
Holds a truth I can’t erase
All alone on your face

Every glamorous sunrise
Throws the planets out of line
A star sign out of whack, a fraudulent zodiac
And the God of wine is crouched down in my room
You let me down, I said it, now I’m going down
And you’re not even around
And I said no no no...

I cant keep it all together
I know I know I know...
I cant keep it all together

And there’s a memory of a window
Looking through I see you
Searching for something I could never give you
And there’s someone who understands
You more than I do
A sadness I cant erase
All alone on your face

Perfect

Another song from the past.
This was from the year 1998. The year where ‘I’d lost in translation’, missing myself somewhere, hahah.One fine song, and its always something from Smashing Pumpkins.

Gud to hear that the group reunite in 2006.

"Perfect" by Smashing Pumpkins

I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends
We are reasons so unreal
We can't help but feel that something has been lost

But please you know you're just like me
Next time I promise we'll be
Perfect…
Perfect…
Perfect strangers down the line
Lovers out of time
Memories unwind

So far I still know who you are
But now I wonder who I was...

Angel, you know it's not the end
We'll always be good friends
The letters have been sent on

So please, you always were so free
You'll see, I promise we'll be
Perfect …
Perfect strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we sleep

Perfect …
You know this has to be
We always we're so free
We promised that we'd be Perfect….

My Life Would Suck Without You

Something from KC. Among the hits nowadays.

Nice song, love KC's tone and the way she expresses her songs.

(perhaps this suits me just well) (''o)

"My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again

Because we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
Yeah you got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for trying to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out
I'm nothing without you

Because we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
Yeah you got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go

Because we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
Yeah you got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

I'd Lie for You and That's the Truth

How can I forget this song.
This, the 1st song dedicated to me when I first met him. Back to those days, can still recall, it was written nicely on your ‘note’. And this was when I'm falin' into u..

“Please don't put your life in the hands…Of a Rock n Roll band”

I'd Lie for You and That's the Truth by Meatloaf



I'd never tell you one lie, I'd never let you down
I'd never leave, I'd be the one who'd always be around
Baby give me a chance

I'd pull the sun out from the sky to light your darkest night
I wouldn't let one drop of rain fall down into your life
Put your heart in my hands

Baby believe me, I could never do you wrong
And I would never paint your world blue
And if sometimes it seems I must have lost mind
I might be crazy but I'm crazy about you...

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you ask me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I'd do it all for you
If you'd just believe in me

Just take a look in my eyes, you'll see a love that's blind
Just take a hold of my hand, I'll take you to paradise
Let me into your heart

Your every wish will be a wish that I will make come true
And if you want the moon I swear I'll bring it down for you
Ain't a star that's too far

Believe me baby got your name carved on my soul
You're the only one that I'll give it to
Go let 'em say that I'm I fool to act this way
'Cause if I'm crazy, I'm just crazy 'bout you...

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk along the wild for you
If you'd just believe in me...

And you will never see a day I'll ever break your heart
You'll see the sky fall down before it ever gets that far
I'll show you heaven every second that you're in my arms
Baby I'm crazy, but I'm crazy about you!

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you'd just believe in me

I'd walk across the wild for you
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
Do anything you asked me to

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you asked me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I'd do it all for you
If you'd just believe in me

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you'd just believe in me...

I'd lie for you and thats the truth..

The Scientist

Another beautiful song; a slow number by Coldplay.
…I had to find you..to tell you I need you..
Let’s go back to the start….
Cool lyrics, and nice musics

The Scientist by Coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start..

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Oh tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start....

Always

Yesterday, while in the car, took out my U2-No Line On the Horizon and change it with JBJ-Crossroads cd. Hadnt listen to it for quiet a while.

While holding it, my mind all flashing back to the time I bought the same casette,

its during my college years. This record, is among my best ever collection.

And suddenly, this song keeps coming back to me. But, at that time, this is not my most fav. song anyway. But after all these years, I suddenly find its 'something'.

"Always" by Bon Jovi

This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me...

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always...

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always...

Year of song: 1994

Hey There Delilah

Love the softness of the song.

And love the beautiful and sweet lyrics...

"you be good and dont u miss me.." ;"

but they've got planes and trains and cars,
I'd walk to you if I had no other way...."

Aint it sweet..? kind of sincere, so it makes it adorable.

And most of all, it reminds me..all of it.

Hey there Delilah by Plain White T’s

Hey there Delilah

What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me....
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me....

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame....

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me...
What you do to me.

These Hard Times

Suddenly felt like tuning this song on and on today.

Nothing to do with world economics today, but I just love this song.

Tho those days has gone, u still touches me somewhere...and today, I suddenly felt I flew back to where I once belong. Miss those feelings.

"These Hard Times" by Matchbox 20

Morning falls like rain into the city life
There goes another night
Losing my breath in waves
Knowing that ever crash is bleeding the hourglass
And taking the strife from all our lives

Everyone keeps talking
They promise you everything
But they don't mean anything

We may loose our focus
There's just too many words
We're never meant to learn
And we don't feel so alive

Say goodbye, these days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need is some relief
Through these hard times
(Through these hard times)

Move your hands in circles
Keeping me hypnotized
The power behind your eyes
Move around your bedroom cursing the naked sky
You should be here tonight
But you stay alone and cry...

Say goodbye, these days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need is some relief
Through these hard times….
(whoa) There's something missing
(Oh whoa) You'll never feel it but you
(Oh whoa) You're gonna feel it when it's gone
When it's gone…

Say goodbye, these days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need is some relief
Through these hard times
(hey) these Hard times
(oh no now) Hard times
Hard times

Say goodbye, these days are gone
Say goodbye, these days are gone
These days are gone...

Iris

One of my favourite song in '98, the soundtrack of 'City of Angels'. Love the movie as well.

I do love the music video, dont you?

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls


And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am....

Unwell

Definitely my favourite, way back around 2001/2002 (perhaps).

Nice song...Matchbox really makes some good records. Like it ('',)

Unwell by Matchbox 20

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be..
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train

I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me

Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be….
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away…

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be…

Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

There is always something left to love. And if u ain't learned that, u ain't learned nothing.

Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965)

Butterfly

tedErmm..how do I elaborate this song ya…well, this may not a really well-known song, maybe. But for me, this song has its own melancholic which intoxicated me. And if u guyz are wondering, this song is somewhere from the year 96/97.
Butterfly by Weezer

Yesterday I went outside
With my momma's mason jar
Caught a lovely Butterfly

When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips away

I smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch

I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasies
A life of chasing butterfly

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips away

I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back
I'm sorry… I'm sorry…
I'm sorry….

Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are

(John Dryden; 1631-1700)

Superman (Its Not Easy)

Another fav song, some time ago.

Superman (It's Not Easy) by Five For Fighting

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird
I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd
But don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away
Away from me
It’s all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy
Or anything

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It’s not easy to be me

Motorcycle Drive By

Sigh..its March in 2009 already. Time's running fast.

Again..this is something from the year 1998. To me, its the best song in 3EB debut album. Tho they're famous for the 'Semi-charmed life', but love this the most.

The music, the lyrics..i'm kind of feel like turning back to that year. The lyrics..suits me well (at that time, definitely)..Yup, life goes on, so please wake-up and smells your coffee.

What's done, is done. Get-up!!

Motorcycle Drive By by Third Eye Blind



Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
in lower Chelsea
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the windows
And I'm sleeping on the couch

When I came to visit you
That's when I knew
That I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I'm the one who's stupid

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've
Never been so alive

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes and you don't mind
You smile
And say the world it doesn't fit with you
I don't believe you
You're so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt
You're guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you

And there's things I'd like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you'll never see it happen

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've
I've never been so alive

And there's this burning
There is this burning...

Where's the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything
But I could never do that
Someone would see through that

And this is the last time
We'll be friends again
And I'll get over you
And you'll wonder who I am

And there's this burning,
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone, alone
And I've, and I've
I've never been so alive

So alive....

I go home to the coast it starts to rain I paddle out on the water
Alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I'm not thinking of you again
Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming
To take me...home...

And I never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

One Last Breath

Pheww..its February already. The second month of the new year.

I've been busy all this while, and cant spend times on listening to my good music.

Well, this is sumting for the February, aint heard 'bout this pretty lately.

This song..its always gonna made me think of me.

"One Last Breath" by Creed

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

All love is sweet, given or returned

Percy Bysshe Shelly

(1792-1822)

Competition Smile

Its been awhile since I dont post here. So, here is sumting from the year '96, for the opening of year 2009.

"Competition Smile" by Gin Blossoms

Looking up I saw nothing

But blue in the bluest sky

And now it's creeping across my eye

Going down in my mind, down in my mind

I'm high and I'm hopeless

So help me to get untied

Fast asleep now I'm going blind

Falling down in my mind, down in my mind

Just fine

Emulate the style

A competition smile

Now I'm running, not looking

And opening up my brain

Where it's easy to lose my name

Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain

I'm hoping you'll notice

That no one else helps me grow

Oh, it's not easy to let you know

What I'm dying to show

Dying until you know

Pretending all the while

A competition smile

Now I've thrown something far

And it haunts me like a curse

I'm like a stone

Falling hard

And I'm only getting worse

Looking up I saw nothing

But blue in the bluest sky

And now it's creeping across my eye

And going down in my mind, down in my mind

I'm high and I'm hopeless

So help me to get untied

Fast asleep now I'm going blind

Falling down in my mind, down in my mind

Just fine

Pretending all the while

A competition smile

I'm hiding high...
