Currently feeling...

There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave
I wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might
I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here
But the comfort of you near is what i long for

When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray
And I want you more than i want to live another day
And as I wait for you, maybe I'm made more faithful

All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone
I still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right
So i whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tongue
Knowing you're the only one who knows me
You know me

Show me how I should live this
Show me where I should walk
I count this world as lost to me
You are all I want
You are all I want

When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray
And I want you more than i want to live another day
And as I wait for you, maybe I'm made more faithful...

Faithful by Brooke Fraser

Estrella Rocks!

Wheeeeeeeee!! :)

I finally got my hands on Estrella's album, after searching high and low for it!

Liyana's an amazing lyricist and composer, and her bandmates are just awesomely talented as well.

It's good to see that our local music industry has so much talent, and that it's finally picking up.

Not to mention, these upcoming artists are from the jazz indie genre! My favourite! Oooolaalaaa!

A timely serenade..

It was helpless anyway
there's nothing much we could do or say
but darling don't you think it's a shame?
that it had to end this way?
so here's to say goodbye
our love is lost, and we can't figure why
maybe it really is about time; that we finally made up our minds.
soon you'll build new memories
then slowly you'd forget about me
and i would slowly be a distant memory
and it hurts me to know that that's all i'll ever be
that soon i'll just be that someone you used to know
it's not an easy thing for me to shake off our history
i know that's what you want from me but they will always stay with me...

someone you used to know

If I could turn back time...

I don't know why i did the things i did, and i don't know why i said the things i said
But i wish i could turn back time and undo the damage done

I didn't really mean to hurt you
I just didn't want to see you go
But what's done is done and all that's left now is only memories of us

Can we ever go back to how we used to be?

Currently feeling...

i hung up the phone tonight
something happened for the first time deep inside
it was a rush, what a rush

'cause the possibility

that you would ever feel the same way about me

it's just too much, just too much

why do i keep running from the truth?

all i ever think about is you

you got me hypnotized, so mesmerized

and i've just got to know

do you ever think when you're all alone

all that we can be, where this thing can go?

am i crazy or falling in love?

is it real or just another crush?

do you catch a breath when i look at you?

are you holding back like the way i do?

'cause i'm trying and trying to walk away

but i know this crush ain't goin' away

has it ever crossed your mind when we're hanging, spending time
are we just friends or is there more?

it's a chance we've got to take

'cause i believe that we can make this into something that will last

last forever

** Crush, by David Archuleta

didn't really like the song at first but today, it hit me..

i've actually been feeling every bit of the lyric..

(and nothing connects me more to a song than its lyrics..)

urghh... emo...

ps. i'm really trying and trying hard to walk away..

Medley frenzy

This is so cool! the singing is not bad, the drumming quite cekap and the guitaring is chun! Found it on YouTube and it totally made my day :)

Now, i wanna do something like that too. I just need to recruit 2 more "band" members/crazy friends willing to embark on this medley madness with me..i'll do the vocal of course! hehe..

Any takers? No experience needed; just a musically-inclined soul will do. Guaranteed satisfaction at the end of our attempt ;p

Haha, enjoy anyway!

Musico-therapy

Currently listening to... Somebody You Used To Know by Koko Kaina

The time is 2.07 p.m. Mind: Hazy. Mood: Blue.

I always feel like this after lunch breaks. Urghh..

Anyway, I stumbled upon an amazing singer/songwriter named Koko Kaina while randomly surfing some radio-deejays' blog and YouTube. So today's entry is going to be about this songbird.
At first glance, i thought she was Filipino or Mexican because of her name and tanned skin but when i further researched into the giant web and YouTube for more videos of her, i found out that she is actually Malaysian! OMGG...*jaw drops

Her style of music is very much to the liking of Jack Johnson, with a very jazzy feel to it. She is what i would call the "female" version of Jack Johnson? She's like Marie Digby and Norah Jones rolled up into one happy meal :)
Her music has got simple repetitive progressions (which i can't figure out because i suck at jazzy chord progressions) and a repetitive singing style as well but it's still unique..but what is most amazing about her is that this lady has been gifted with the ability to write good lyrics. Good rhyming lyrics with a genuine and pleasing melody to it. I truly envy her.. she's the embodiment of everything I want to be, in secret.. ;p

Pop jazz totally rocks. great music therapy for the soul too.
Highly recommended in large intake and daily dosages. =D

I am driving up 85 in the
kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom

Four more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
and leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia, why?

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
wood in places to make it feel like home
but all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis
or just the stirring in my soul

Either way, I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia, why?

So what, so I've got a smile on me
but it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me
Don't believe me
When I say I've got it down

Everybody is just a stranger but
that's the danger in going my own way
I guess it's the price I have to pay
still "Everything happens for a reason"
is no reason not to ask myself

If I'm living it right
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, tell me why
Why, why Georgia why?
