We Are Young!

We are young, We are strong! We are free!

And it rain rain rain rains......

Is it really necessary?
Every single day
You're making me more ordinary
In every possible way

This ordinary mind is broken
You did it and you don't even know
You're leaving me with words unspoken
You better get back because I'm ready for

More than this whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap I can't look back
Baby, I hate days like this

Caught in a trap, I can't look back
Baby I hate days like this

When it rain and rain and rain and rain
When it rain and rain and rain and rain

More than this
Baby, I hate days like

Trying to be ordinary
Was it me who was the fool?
Thought you found the man you wanted
'til you turn him into something new

Well even if our minds are broken
There's something that I need you to know
It's nothing like the life we wanted
You better move on cause I'm ready for

More than this whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap, I can't look back
Baby, I hate days like this

Caught in a trap, I cant look back
Baby I hate days like this

I'm not angry
Don't know what to do
After all the years that I spent with you
I can't blame you for the things you say
I was using you just to hide away

More than this
Whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap
I can't look back
Baby I hate days like this

When it rain, rain, rains
It rain, rain, rains
More than this...
Baby I hate days like this

Alyah - Realiti Dewi

Adakah ku sedang mimpi
Dipuncak awan kita menari
Mungkin fantasi
Bagai ilusi
Hanya ku impi

Tawamu penawar hati
Buatku tenang dimalam sepi
Direaliti yg kuhadapi
Sepanjang hari

Hilanglah perasaan ini
Terpadam rindu bila kau kembali

Kaulah
Dewa yg aku puja
Bukakanlah hatimu
Untuk cinta

Aku
Dewi yg kau merindu
Pencinta yg setia
Oh sayangku

Dengarlah pintaku ini
Luahan hati tidak bertepi
Hasrat si dewi
Agarmu dewa ada disisi

The Space Between - Dave Matthews Band

You cannot quit me so quickly
There's no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love

The Space Between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain

But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like 'Will it rain today?'
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing

We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What wild-eyed beast you be
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain

Will I hold you again?
Will I hold...

Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down

The Space Between
Where you're smiling high
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The Space Between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into...
The Space Between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need here

The Space Between
What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The Space Between...

Without You....

Without You - RENT The Musical

Without you, the ground thaws
the rain falls
the grass grows

Without you, the seeds root
the flowers bloom
the children play

The stars gleam
the poets dream
the eagles fly
without you

The Earth turns
the sun burns
but I die, without you

Without you, the breeze warms
the girl smiles
the cloud moves

Without you, the tides change
the boys run
the oceans crash

The crowds roar
the days soar
the babies cry
without you

The moon glows
the river flows
but I die without you

The world revives
colors renew
but I know blue
only blue
lonely blue
willingly blue
Without you

Without you, the hand gropes
the ear hears
the pulse beats

Without you, the eyes gaze
the legs walk
the lungs breathe

The mind churns
the heart yearns
the tears dry without you

Life goes on
but I'm gone
'cause I die, without you
without you
without you
without you.....

Remember My Name, Fame!

Fame -Irene Cara



Baby look at me
And tell me what you see.
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time, I'll make you forget the rest.
I got more in me, and you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don't you know who I am?

Remember my name (Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly (High)
I feel it coming together
People will see me and die (Fame)
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame (Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
Remember, Remember, Remember, Remember,
Remember, Remember, Remember, Remember

Baby hold me tight
'Cause you can make it right.
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I got to give.
Baby I'll be tough
Too much is not enough, no
I can ride your heart till it breaks
You've got what it takes.

It's about the journey, Not the destination.

The Climb - Miley Cyrus



I can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make
Feels lost with no direction,
My faith is shakin'
But I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it, but
These are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most
I've just gotta keep goin', and
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, but

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on movin'
Keep climbin'
Keep faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, woah

The Ideal "Love Story"

"Love Story" - Taylor Swift

We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts-
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.

I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You say hello, little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles-
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
And I was crying on the staircase-
begging you, "Please don't go..."
And I said...

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.

Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
but you were everything to me-
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes-

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.

I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading-
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.

'cause we were both young when I first saw you

Letters to Andrew

if it wasn't for you
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

~Christina Aguilera

Jumper - Third Eye Blind

JUMPER

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand.
I would understand,
The angry boy, a bit too insane,
Icing over a secret pain,
You know you don't belong,
You're the first to fight, You're way too loud,
You're The flash of light, On a burial shroud,
I know something's wrong,
Well everyone I know has got a reason, To say, put the past away,

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, That you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand,
I would understand.

Well he's on the table,
And he's gone to code,
And I do not think anyone knows,
What they are doing here,
And your friends have left, You've been dismissed,
I never thought it would come to this,
And I, I want you to know,
Everyone's got to face down the demons,
Maybe today, We can put the past away,

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand,
I would understand,
I would understand...

Can you put the past away,

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,

I would understand...

あたしの花沢類がいるところ?

Soul//Music

Have you ever come across music that, no matter what they're singing about, no matter how sad the lyrics, how melancholic the melody, it just puts a smile on your face? That takes your breath away? That makes you just want to jump up and shout and scream and run? Perhaps it's just wistful thinking, maybe it just my imagination....but I like to think of it as passion. The artist's passion for what he's doing, his music. He's putting his heart and soul into this and he's exhilarated. I like to think that it's his joy at being able to put this down on record. This music. His music. His passion. His conviction. His joy. His meaning to exist.

Or perhaps his thought and feeling at that precise moment. The views before his eyes, or their eyes as is the case of Taiwan's iconic band Mayday （五月天） for their album, God's Children Are All Dancing 《神的孩子都在跳舞》, which they recorded in a 'remote' studio up in the foothills of Mount Fuji. I mean, how can you not be filled with joy when you're playing to floor to ceiling glass windows opening out to Mother Nature in all her glory? But then again.....Mayday's music has always been about hope and heart......

Or perhaps it's music that comes out of tragedy? Music that does in itself sing of the exhilaration of being, alive. Like Andrew McMahon of Jack's Mannequin, formerly of Something Corporate. The Glass Passenger, Jack's Mannequin's latest studio album, was writing by Andrew post -leukemia....does that have anything to do with it? Actually when it comes to Andrew...I doubt it because just their debut album, Everything in Transit, alone......blew me away....

But for what ever reason, what ever else it is. This is music that feeds the soul. Gives one hope.

These are just some of the bands that make my soul sing......what's yours?

ps: mind the vid....it's the best audio track I could find.....

Sixteen Going on Seventeen

[Rolf:]
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on

[Liesl:]
To write on

[Rolf:]
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will offer you food and wine

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken

You need someone older an wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you

[Liesl:]
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe

I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those

Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken

I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you

Fly me to the Moon.....

Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like,
On jupiter and mars.

In other words, hold my hand,
In other words, darling kiss me.

Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more,
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore,

In other words, please be true,
In other words, I love you.

在这里 - 現實

词/Ella 曲/义达

你在想什麼 能不能告诉我
你的眉头纠结成枷锁
能不能让我为你解开疑惑
爱你爱你爱你爱你 是我最开心的梦
想你想你想你想你想你 想得我不再像我
我在这里 我就站在这看著你
你的心里 藏著秘密 从来都不让我走进去
我好想你 我好想用力的爱你
封闭的心 没有缝隙
你永远不懂我在这里爱著你
你在想什麼 能不能告诉我
你的眉头纠结成枷锁
能不能让我为你解开疑惑
面对面的时候 我总是无法把你看清
背对背想远离你 却又不舍你一个人伤心
我在这里 我就站在这看著你
你的心里 藏著秘密 从来都不让我走进去
我好想你 我好想用力的爱你
封闭的心 没有缝隙
你永远不懂我在这里爱著你
我在这里 我就站在这看著你
你的心里 藏著秘密 从来都不让我走进去
我没关系 我只想用力的爱你
全心全力 不会放弃 你永远不用知道我爱你
因为你存在我心里 你不爱我还是爱著你

愛是自私的 - 完美幻想

作曲：YiDA
填詞：YiDA

我們都忘記 忘記什麼是開心
我們該學習 學習愛學習珍惜
秋天的空氣 總是讓我想起妳
今天的天氣 是不是你在哭泣
過去已過去 勇敢走下去
他並不是你
有些遺憾最每麗
我回到過去才發現才看見
原來自己愛的一直是你
我回到現在才發現
我們不知所措 可是已經來不及
愛需要勇氣 牽著他心卻在哪裡
我試著忘記自私愛到底
我回到過去才發現才看見
原來自己心理全都是你
我回到現在才明白
這份愛放不開 妳就是我的唯一
我真的不懂 我試著去愛他到底
才一直相信 已把你忘記


過去已過去 勇敢走下去
他並不是你
有些遺憾最美麗
我回到過去才發現才看見
原來自己愛的一直是你
我回到現在才發現
我們不知所措 可是已經來不及
愛需要勇氣 牽著他心卻想著你
我試著忘記 自私愛到底
我回到過去才發現才看見
原來自己心理全都是你
我回到現在才明白
這份愛放不開 妳就是我的唯一
我真的不懂 我試著去愛他到底
才一直相信 已把你忘記
現在的我才開始懂的愛是自私的

You Were There - 希望

You Were There
作曲：YiDA
填詞：YiDA

愛不需要理由
為什麼我會懂
我的心正在痛
那是因為我真的愛過

一轉眼十年後
我依然是寂寞
那是因為心理面
永遠都有一個缺口

我的愛　你懂不懂
這幾年我是怎麼過
我的愛　你懂不懂
有好多話想對你說
我的愛　你懂不懂
我需要你任何時候

我的愛　你懂不懂

Coz u were there Coz u were there
我的愛　我沒放開　我在等待
Coz u were there Coz u were there
我的愛　你別放開　等我回來

愛不需要理由
我愛了十年了
當初為什麼
我把她讓給她前男友

我該不該把握
該不該到她家門口
這問題想了好久
其實答案在這一秒鐘

Coz u were there~ Ya there~
我的愛我沒放開
我一直一直在等待

Coz u were there~ Ya there~
我的愛你別放開
有一天我們再相愛

Coz u were there~ Ya there~
我的愛我沒放開
我一直一直在等待

Coz u were there~ Ya there~
我們都不再放開
我們永遠都不分開
Coz u were there~

(I was) So yours for the taking

"18th Floor Balcony"
-Blue October

I close my eyes and I smile
Knowing that everything is alright
To the core
So close that door
Is this happening?

My breath is on your hair
I'm unaware
That you opened the blinds and let the city in
God, you held my hand
And we stand
Just taking in everything.

And I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony.
We're both flying away.

So we talked about mom's and dad's
About family pasts
Just getting to know where we came from
Our hearts were on display
For all to see
I can't believe this is happening to me

And I raised my hand as if to show you I was yours
That I was so yours for the taking
I'm so yours for the taking
That's when I felt the wind pick up
I grabbed the rail while choking up
These words to say and then you kissed me...

I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony...
We're both flying away.

And I'll try to sleep
To keep you in my dreams
'til I can bring you home with me
I'll try to sleep
And when I do I'll keep you in my... dreams

I knew it from the start
So my arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
So here we are
On this 18th floor balcony, yeah

I knew it from the start
My arms are open wide
Your head is on my stomach
No, we're not going to sleep

Here we are
On this 18th floor balcony... we're both..
Flying away
