Digression in Progression : Run

Whilst blogging about my Aussie trip, my friend told me something she predicted and all I can do now is to dedicate this song to her. I'll treat you to Ben and Jerry's the time we meet. Meanwhile be happy happy, with your DVDs.





If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time by R.Kelly

How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door

If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine

Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Ohh Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I pray please come back to me

If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, you would be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, still be mine

And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone, whoa

If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, you would be mine, whoa
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, still be mine

Ohh I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
turn back, the hands (the hands)

There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you (If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you (If I could turn back)
If you accept me back, in your heart, (If I could turn back the hands)
And I love you

Whoa (If I could turn back)
That would be my will (If I could turn back)
Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands (If I could turn back the hands)

I'm going down, yes I am (If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee, yeah (If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me, whoa (If I could turn back the hands)

If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall (If I could turn back)
Then I'd come to realize how much I love you (If I could turn back)
Love you. Love you. Love you (If I could turn back the hands)

To Those I Once Loved

Memories by Ronin

Memory
Fading from the mind like a melody
Tangled in the reverie of time
It's so hard to say goodbye

And endlessly
Talking to the angels of your heart
Dancing with the demons of regret
It's so hard to let you go

Paint a picture in my mind
A life I had but left behind
Baby when you call my name will you still care

Tenderly
Slip away to find a better place
Just flying flying flown away from home
Now you stand alone
Now you stand alone

one of the best local bands i've ever known, Ronin comes up with brilliant, heartfelt songs like this and it just keeps on questioning, why the disband? a pity to see people who make good music just disappear in the midst of no where.

to those i once loved, life and love are such vicious cycles; let's get over it and move on with our lives. find the happiness in me and the happiness in you. i wish you the best.

Endings

the film Prince of Caspian ended with a subtle, emotion-filled song by Regina Spektor's The Call.

download The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian OST here

(It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and now one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

whether good or bad, life has its own different ending. i want mine to be happy, with unforgettable smiles, with terabytes of happy memories. don't bid me goodbye because it's just a new beginning.

Malaysian DJs, Lovely Parodies!

haha i was so amused by this parody done by JJ and Rudy, whom i assume are Malaysian DJs. they have done Malaysia and mamak proud! witty ditty, the duo came up with a mamak version, with style and spice okay! from "where do you get your body from" to "where do you get your tosai from"...it's gotta be something!

i know little about Malaysian culture, but i appreciate different cultures; they're eye openers and it's always something new to me, which i like a lot!

this Malaysian student in UK commented:

"From a foreigner's point of view, the sight of a mamak stall packed with people who congregate in groups of tens to watch a football match with servings after servings of roti telur and kopi kurang manis in the sweltering heat and humidity might appear rather bizzare. Add to that the fact that you'll find people of all ages (from teenagers to working professionals and senior citizens) and of all races (we Chinese love our mamak, no?) - and what you get is a melting pot with a unique experience that can't be replicated anywhere else in the world (imagine a place like Murni or Steven's Corner in London O.o). Should you have the chance to bring a foreigner to a mamak stall, do it! Whether (s)he likes it or not, it would be an experience from her visit to Malaysia that he won't forget."

haha now i feel like going to Malaysia for some cheap food and shopping! now does anyone wanna tag me along? :)

by the way, i googled for JJ and Rudy, and they have other parodies of hit songs like Fast & Furious...


and the catchy Don Cha by PCD...


haha i just love original parodies which worth a laugh! sit back, enjoy and maybe dance along :)

Sing With Me

have you heard this song?
awe inspiring song! sing with me.
i love Jason Mraz, he creates lives out of songs.

Mr. Curiosity by Jason Mraz

Hey Mr. Curiosity
Is it true what they've been saying about you
Are you killing me?
You took care of the cat already
And for those who think it's heavy
Is it the truth
Or is it only gossip
Call it mystery or anything
Just as long as you'd call me
I sent the message on did you get it when I left it
See this catastrophic event
It wasn't meant to mean no harm
But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
Love is a mystery
Mr. Curious...

Come back to me
Mr. waiting ever patient can't you see
That I'm the same the way you left me
In a hurry to spell check me
And I'm underlined already in envy green
And pencil red
And I've forgotten what you've said
Will you stop working for the dead and return
Mr. curious well I need some inspiration
It's my birthday and I cannot find no cause for celebration
The scenario is grave but I'll be braver when you save me
From this situation laden with hearsay

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
And love is a mystery
Mr. Curiosity
Be Mr. please
Do come and find me, oh
Find, find me, find me

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
Trying not to ask why
Cause love is a mystery
Mr. curiosity
Be Mr. please
Do come and find me

Love is blinding when the timing's never right
Oh who am I to beg for difference
Finding love in just an instant
Well I dont mind, at least I've tried
And I tried, I tried...

Hands Held High

Linkin Park - Hands Held High

Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
People on the street then panic and start running
Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
List something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for
'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
Like they understand you, in the back of their jet
When you can't put gas in your tank, these fuckers
Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
Asking you to have the passion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?"

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

In my living room watching it, I am not laughing
'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
The world is cold, the bold men take action
Have to react to get blown into fractions
At 10 years old, it's something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep
Taken and bound and found later under a tree
I wonder if he had thought 'the next one could be me'
Do you see the soldiers that are out today?
They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
It's ironic, at times like this you'd pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes
My dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine on the back
He hand-wrote a quote inside,
"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry, like "What did he say?"

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

("Amen" and the last 2 lines repeat until the end of the song)

MTV won't play this song.

the leader who walks away?

why, not surprising! i thought i'd have it all figured. it's all about the ongoing war since the drum beating rhythm sounded military. offensive? maybe? however i have to admit it's one of the best rap songs written. the most powerful, impact-ful lyrics i've heard.

"when the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"

i'm not a really huge fan of Linkin Park. but when the lyrics hit me, i totally felt it, as if i'm part of the song. touche, Linkin Park. here's the video to the awesome song :) sit back and rap along.

Teardrops On My Guitar

Teardrops On My Guitar
by Taylor Swift

Drew looks at me I fake a smile so he won't see. What I want and I'm needing everything that we should be. I bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about and she's got everything that I have to live without. Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny. And I can't even see, anyone when he's with me. He's says he's so in love. He's finally got it right. I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only thing that keeps me wishing on my wishing star. He's the song in the car I keep singing don't know why I do.

Drew walks by me. Can he tell that I can't breathe? And there he goes, so perfectly, the kind of flawless I wish I could be. She better hold him tight. Give him all her love. Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only thing that keeps me wishing on my wishing star. He's the song in the car I keep singing don't know why I do.

So I drive home alone. As I turn out the light, I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar. The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart. He's the song in the car I keep singing don't know why I do. He's the time taking up but there's never enough. And he's all that I need to fall into.

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

im feeling so lovestoned *lovestoned by Justin Timberlake starts playing by the back* these days. try picturing me playing or repeating those emotional (happy or sad) lovey dovey songs on my itunes. crazy kinda feeling.

something's troubling me. *shrugs* but i dont know what it is

hence i think i have to double the dose.

How Did I Fall In Love With You

How Did I Fall in Love with You
by Backstreet Boys

Remember when,
we never needed each other
The best of friends like sister and brother
We understood,
we'd never be,
Alone

Those days are gone,
and I want you so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

[chorus:]
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble
I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight

[chorus:]
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

[Bridge:]
Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah
I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

[chorus:]
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew
How did I fall,in love ,with you?

i dont know why but i get so emotionally attached whenever i hear this song. whatever that is, its one of the best songs ever! :)

Here (In Your Arms)

X Hellogoodbye - Here (In Your Arms)

I like where we are, when we drive in your car.
I like where we are, here.

Cause our lips can touch.
And our cheeks can brush.
Oh, our lips can touch, here.

You are the one, the one, who lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I miss you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love, with you suddenly.
Now, there's no place else that I could be but here in your arms.

Cause I like where you sleep, when you sleep next to me.
Oh, I like where you sleep, here.

You are the one, the one, who lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I miss you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love, with you suddenly.
Now, there's no place else that I could be but here in your arms.


not into valentine's day. but anyway, have a great one.

Tonight I Wanna Cry
(Monty Powell / Keith Urban)

Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away

Chorus:I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-contro
lBut I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

Would it help if I turned a sad song on
"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)

<3

Creep

Creep
Radiohead

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out again
She's running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
