Jason Walker – Down

18 10 2009

The video is posted by Badpacifist on youtube. I heard this song on “Vampire Diaries” on episode 6 sang by Jason Walker. It hit a place close to my heart… Why do we always aim high for so many things when at the end we know we may possibly fall and hit the ground? I guess it’s hope that one day… one day we can make it.

Lyrics by Jason Walker

Verse 1

I dont know where Im at
Im standing at the back and Im tired of waiting
Waiting here in line, hoping that ill find
What ive been chasing

Chorus

I shot for the sky,
Im stuck on the ground
So why do I try
I know Im gonna fall down
I thought I could fly
So why did I drown
I never know why, Its coming down, down, down

Oh im going down, down, down ( On 2nd time around )

Verse 2

Im not ready to let go
cause then I’ll never know, what could be missing
but I’m missing way to much
So when do I give up, what I’ve been wishing for

Bridge

I cant find another way around
And I dont want to hear that sound
Of losing what I never found





Honey Bee

27 09 2009

I bought Zee Avi’s album and I was listening to the track named “Honey Bee”. I love the way she sings. The track triggered several things in my life.

Why had I chosen to stay? Why had I not taken the initiative? 

I was starting to doubt myself again. Why can’t I be more like the honey bee? I had been contemplating the past week of quitting my current job and looking for a part-time job while I study part-time. I have conformed to all that my parents asked of me but lately… I was at a loss of words in what I was doing with my life as my feelings spiraled. I asked myself: what was it I wanted at the end of the day? I still feel like I am not achieving what I want with my life.

I am stuck where I am and I continue to be stuck because I let myself to be here. I know very well that I need to work from the bottom up and I knew that the reason why I took this job was mostly because I knew the current information system needed a revamp so I worked on it after learning about the domain.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I just dropped everything and be like the honey bee… Would I be as courageous? But then again I need to find my other honey bee first. I will leave you with the song and lyrics posted by bitterheartbee on youtube.





Mo Huan Ji Jie (Magical Season)

Lyrics taken from dY at http://chinesemusicblog.com/lyrics/mo-huan-ji-jie-magical-season.

This song reminds me of so many things in my life at this moment in time…

魔幻季节
Mo Huan Ji Jie
Magical Season

生 活 像 懸 疑 的 小 說 下 一 頁劇 情 是 什 麼
sheng huo xiang xuan yi de xiao shuo xia yi ye ju qing shi shen me
Life is like a suspenseful novel. How will the plot develop on the next page?

我 相 信 沒 有 人 曉 得 世 界 究 竟 怎 麼 了
wo xiang xin mei you ren xiao de shi jie jiu jing zen me le
I believe that no one knows what has happened to the world

* 也 許 是 我 也 悶 得 太 久 也 許 是 我今 天 著 了 魔
ye xu shi wo ye men de tai jiu ye xu shi wo jin tian zhao le mo
Perhaps it’s because I’ve been bored for too long; perhaps today I’ve been bewitched

好 想 失 蹤 幾 秒 鐘
hao xiang shi zong ji miao zhong
(I) really want to disappear for a few seconds

孩 子 似 的 閉 上 眼 向 前 走 回到 自 己 那 一 國
hai zi si de bi shang yan xiang qian zou hui dao zi ji na yi guo
Like a child, closing (my) eyes and walking forward, returning to my own land

那 個 好 久 忘 了 去 夢 的 路 口
na ge hao jiu wang le qu meng de lu kou
That long-forgotten road that leads to dreams

** 我 喜 歡 孤 單 冒 險 追 蹤 夢 的線 索 我 的 註 冊 商 標 是 自 由
wo xi huan gu dan mao xian zhui zong meng de xian suo wo de zhu ce shang biao shi zi you
I like to be lonely and risky, chasing after the clues that lead to dreams. My trademark is freedom.

再 也 不 想 做 無 聊 的 那 個 我
zai ye bu xiang zuo wu liao de na ge wo
I no longer want to be the me who is always bored

我 走 向 魔 幻 季 節 原 來 那 麼 快 樂 我 連 呼 吸 都 是 幸 福 的
wo zou xiang mo huan ji jie yuan lai na me kuai le wo lian hu xi dou shi xing fu de
I go towards the magical season. What a happy place it turns out to be—even when I breathe I feel happiness

換 一 個 角 度 去 看 另 一 個 地 球
huan yi ge jiao du qu kan ling yi ge di qiu
Take a different perspective to look at another planet

愛 情 的 範 圍 誰 畫 的 出 呢 我 愛 的 人 剩 下 了 幾 個
ai qing de fan wei shei hua de chu ne wo ai de ren sheng xia le ji ge
Who can draw out the boundaries of love? How many of the ones I love are left?

我 翻 閱 記 憶 的 底 片 美 的 醜 的我 通 通 記 得
wo fan yue ji yi de di pian mei de chou de wo tong tong ji de
I go through my memories. The beautiful, the ugly—I remember them all. [#]

Repeat *, **

屋 頂 上 的 我 鏡 子 裡 的 我 DALA…
wu ding shang de wo jing zi li de wo
The me on the rooftop, the me in the mirror

留 短 髮 的 我 最 膽 小 的 我 (都 是我)
liu duan fa de wo zui dan xiao de wo  dou shi wo
The me with short hair, the me that is most cowardly

Repeat **

不 回 頭 的 我 不 回 頭 的 我
bu hui tou de wo bu hui tou de wo
The me who does not look back, the me who does not look back





Quote THEM!

“I’ve been thinking ’bout you… maybe I’m wrong to be caught up about you. Well I don’t know what you think ’bout me, maybe you think nothing at all.

It’s when I think about you that I hear songs…”

Muse – Supermassive Black Hole

15 03 2009

For those that didn’t like Unintended, I think you will like this single:

 Lyrics:

Ooh baby don’t you know I suffer?
Oh baby can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?

Ooh you set my soul alight
Ooh you set my soul alight

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars into the supermassive
(Ooh you set my soul)

I thought I was a fool for no one
But ooh baby I’m a fool for you
You’re the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?

Ooh you set my soul alight
Ooh you set my soul alight

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars into the supermassive
(Ooh you set my soul)

Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars into the supermassive

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(Ooh you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars into the supermassive
(Ooh you set my soul)

Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole





Muse Unintended

13 03 2009

Thank you JZ for providing the lyrics and telling me to take a listen to this song. It’s a melancholy song which is quite depressing but check out the video.

 

 Lyrics:

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I’ll always love

You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I’ll always love

I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I’ll always love
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before




Cloud 21

15 02 2009

Renabette from San Antonio on youtube has posted a few of her own original songs she has written. Cloud 21 is one of my favourites.

 Lyrics:

“Hello,” was the first word you spoke to me
And I got so lost in your eyes
I couldn’t seem to find the words to say
But I simply had to reply

And I can’t explain how you make me feel
Sometimes I forget to breathe
I lose my thoughts
I just can’t speak

And so I’ll write this song for you
To let you know that you take me high
That with you I can fly
Because to me you’re brighter than the sun
You got me sitting up on Cloud 21

I must admit to you that I am blind
To see around me when I see you
We used to have those stupid calls on the phone
Of endless “I love you” and “I love you too”

And I can’t explain how you make me feel
Sometimes I forget to breathe
I lose my thoughts
I just can’t speak

And so I’ll write this song for you
To let you know that you take my high
That with you I can fly
Because to me you’re brighter than the sun
You got me sitting up on Cloud 21

“Good night,” were the last words I heard from you
And I’m already missing you tonight
For now, I’ll just have to see you in my dreams
Until we meet I’ll give you my “good night.”





Don’t Speak – No Doubt

15 02 2009

Truth about heartbreaks.. it will always hurt especially since they are etched upon our hearts mixed with memories and feelings. No one can determine how long something may last or how long the pain will linger in their hearts when things don’t work out the way that it should have. There is no guide to tell one person how long before the pain will stop.

Everybody deals with it differently. Some go numb. Some just pick themselves up and get back on the horse. Some shut it out and live in denial. Whatever it may be, the only thing that is guaranteed is time will be given. Time will not heal one’s pain rather it will be a time of reflection and a time of finding out what you want for yourself and from others.

 Lyrics:

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I’m losing my best friend
I can’t believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you’re letting go
And if it’s real
Well I don’t want to know

Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me cause it hurts
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
I don’t need your reasons
Don’t tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
I don’t need your reasons
Don’t tell me cause it hurts

It’s all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are…
You and me I can see us dying…are we?

Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
I don’t need your reasons
Don’t tell me cause it hurts
Don’t tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you’re saying
So please stop explaining

Don’t speak,
don’t speak,
don’t speak,
oh I know what you’re thinking
And I don’t need your reasons
I know you’re good,
I know you’re good,
I know you’re real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don’t, Don’t, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin’
Hush, hush darlin’ Hush, hush
don’t tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin’ Hush, hush darlin’
Hush, hush don’t tell me tell me cause it hurts





No Doubt – Running

14 02 2009

Looking back No Doubt was one of my favourite artists. I have always loved their music.

Lyrics:

Run
Running all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side

Me
I’m the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most
I’m so sorry that I’m falling
Help me up lets keep on running
Don’t let me fall out of love

[Chorus:]
Running, running
As fast as we can
I really hope you make it
(Do you think we’ll make it?)
We’re running
Keep holding my hand
It’s so we don’t get separated

Be
Be the one I need
Be the one I trust most
Don’t stop inspiring me
Sometimes it’s hard to keep on running
We work so much to keep it going
Don’t make me want to give up





The Man Who Can’t Be Moved – The Script

11 01 2009

Thank you W for sending me this song… It’s a song about someone in love waiting for the other person not knowing where they are so he waits around the corner where they first met hoping that she will appear. Would you do the same as this guy? I don’t know if I would do the same… Is it better to hold on or should one just let it go? Love makes people do many crazy things… But the reality, how things end at the end of the day may not be how you envisioned it to be.

 Lyrics:
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag. I’m not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don’t understand,
I’m not… broke I’m just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I’ve been in love with you…

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you’d come back here to the place that we’d meet,
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I’m not moving…
I’m not moving.

Policeman says son you can’t stay here,
I said there’s someone I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you’d come back here to the place that we’d meet,
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I’m not moving…
I’m not moving.
I’m not moving…
I’m not moving.

People talk about the guy
Whos waiting on a girl…
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world…
Hmmmm

Maybe I’ll get famous as the man who can’t be moved,
And maybe you won’t mean to but you’ll see me on the news,
And you’ll come running to the corner…
Cos you’ll know it’s just for you

I’m the man who can’t be moved
I’m the man who can’t be moved…

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you’d come back here to the place that we’d meet,
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I’m not moving…
I’m not moving.
I’m not moving…
I’m not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I’m not gonna move.
