white flag

2009-11-24T08:55:00.000-08:00

title: white flag

artist: dido

i know you think that i shouldn't still love you

or tell you that

but if i didn't say it, well i'd still have felt it

where's the sense in that?

i promise i'm not trying to make your life harder

or return to where we were

but i will go down with this ship

and i won't put my hands up and surrender

there will be no white flag above my door

i'm in love and always will be

i know i left too much mess and destruction

to come back again

and i caused nothing but trouble

i understand if you can't talk to me again

and if you live by the rules of it's over

then i'm sure that that makes sense

but i will go down with this ship

and i won't put my hands up and surrender

there will be no white flag above my door

i'm in love and always will be

and when we meet, which i'm sure we will

all that was there will be there still

i'll let it pass and hold my tongue

and you will think that i've moved on

i will go down with this ship

and i won't put my hands up and surrender

there will be no white flag above my door

i'm in love and always will be

i will go down with this ship

and i won't put my hands up and surrender

there will be no white flag above my door

i'm in love and always will be

i will go down with this ship

and i won't put my hands up and surrender

there will be no white flag above my door

i'm in love and always will be

when you say nothing at all

2009-11-14T02:12:00.000-08:00

title: when you say nothing at all

artist: ronan keating

it's amazing how you can speak right to my heart

without saying a word you can light up the dark

try as i may i can never explain

what i hear when you don't say a thing

the smile on your face let's me know that you need me

there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

the touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever i fall

you say it best, when you say nothing at all

all day long i can hear people talking out loud (oh?)

but when you hold me near (oh, hold me near)

you drown out the crowd (drown out crowd)

try as they may, they can never defy

what's been said between your heart and mine

the smile on your face let me know that you need me

there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

the touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever i fall

you say it best, when you say nothing at all?oh

the smile on your face let's me know that you need me

there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

the touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever i fall

you say it best, when you say nothing at all

(the smile on your face)

you say it best, when you say nothing at all

(the truth in your eyes)

(the touch of your hand)

you say it best, when you say nothing at all

(let me know that you need me)

you say it best, when you say nothing at all (nothing at all)

falling

i wish if i could sing this way... to someone!

title: falling | artist: richard marx

i've got a secret

that i think i'm ready to share

it may bring us closer

it may be a burden to bear

it's precious and it's real

and all that i can feel

is that i'm falling

as deep as any ocean

in ways that can't be spoken

i am falling

for the millionth and the first time

ever and eternally for you

you are a beacon

revealing the places i hide

you've given freedom

to so much that i kept inside

and with one look in my eyes

it can't be a surprise

that i am falling

as deep as any ocean

in ways that can't be spoken

i am falling

for the millionth and the first time

ever and eternally for you

now there's no darkness

my truth laid open and bare

it's in my flesh and bones

yeah it's everywhere

that i am falling

as deep as any ocean

in ways that can't be spoken

i am falling

like rays that come from heaven

bathed in your reflection

i am falling

for the millionth and the first time

ever and eternally for you

life is a highway

2009-09-13T01:09:00.000-07:00

i liked the song when i first saw the move 'cars'. this is such an inspiring song... i like it most when i need to gear up my mind!

title: life is a highway | artist: rascal flatts

well, life's like a road that you travel on
there's one day here and the next day gone
sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
sometimes you turn your back to the wind

there's a world outside every darkened door
where blues won't haunt you anymore
for the brave are free and lovers soar
come ride with me to the distant shore

we won't hesitate
to break down the guarding gate
there's not much time left today, yeay

life is a highway, i wanna ride it
all night long
if you're going my way, i wanna drive it
all night long

through all these cities and all these towns
it's in my blood and it's all around
i love now like i loved you then
this is the road and these are the hands
from mozambique to those memphis nights
the khyber pass to vancouver's lights

they knock me down
and back up again
you're in my blood
i'm not a lonely man
there's no load i can't hold
the road's so rough this i know
i'll be there when the light comes in
just tell 'em we're survivors

life is a highway, i wanna ride it
all night long
if your going my way, i wanna drive it
all night long

gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah

life is a highway, i wanna ride it
all night long (mmmm yeah)
if your going my way, i wanna drive it
all night long

there was a distance between you and i
(between you and i)
a misunderstanding once
but now, we look it in the eye

ooooo...yeah!

there ain't no load that i can't hold
the road's so rough this i know
i'll be there when the light comes in
just tell 'em we're survivors

life is a highway, i wanna ride it
all night long (all night long, yeah hey)
if your going my way, i wanna drive it
all night long

life is a highway, i wanna ride it
all night long
if your going my way, i wanna drive it
all night long

life is a highway, i wanna ride it
all night long
if your going my way, i wanna drive it
all night long

gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah

american pie

2009-05-26T13:27:00.000-07:00

title: american pie

artist: don mclean

listen the music

a long, long time ago...
i can still remember
how that music used to make me smile.
and i knew if i had my chance
that i could make those people dance
and, maybe, theyd be happy for a while.

but february made me shiver
with every paper i'd deliver.
bad news on the doorstep;
i couldnt take one more step.

i cant remember if i cried
when i read about his widowed bride,
but something touched me deep inside
the day the music died.

so bye-bye, miss american pie.
drove my chevy to the levee,
but the levee was dry.
and them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
singin, thisll be the day that i die.
thisll be the day that i die.

did you write the book of love,
and do you have faith in God above,
if the bible tells you so?
do you believe in rock n roll,
can music save your mortal soul,
and can you teach me how to dance real slow?

well, i know that youre in love with him
`cause i saw you dancin in the gym.
you both kicked off your shoes.
man, i dig those rhythm and blues.

i was a lonely teenage broncin buck
with a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
but i knew i was out of luck
the day the music died.

i started singin,
bye-bye, miss american pie.
drove my chevy to the levee,
but the levee was dry.
them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
and singin, thisll be the day that i die.
thisll be the day that i die.

now for ten years weve been on our own
and moss grows fat on a rollin stone,
but thats not how it used to be.
when the jester sang for the king and queen,
in a coat he borrowed from james dean
and a voice that came from you and me,

oh, and while the king was looking down,
the jester stole his thorny crown.
the courtroom was adjourned;
no verdict was returned.
and while lennon read a book of marx,
the quartet practiced in the park,
and we sang dirges in the dark
the day the music died.

we were singing,
bye-bye, miss american pie.
drove my chevy to the levee,
but the levee was dry.
them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
and singin, thisll be the day that i die.
thisll be the day that i die.

helter skelter in a summer swelter.
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
eight miles high and falling fast.
it landed foul on the grass.
the players tried for a forward pass,
with the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

now the half-time air was sweet perfume
while the sergeants played a marching tune.
we all got up to dance,
oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
the marching band refused to yield.
do you recall what was revealed
the day the music died?

we started singing,
bye-bye, miss american pie.
drove my chevy to the levee,
but the levee was dry.
them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
and singin, thisll be the day that i die.
thisll be the day that i die.

oh, and there we were all in one place,
a generation lost in space
with no time left to start again.
so come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
jack flash sat on a candlestick
cause fire is the devils only friend.

oh, and as i watched him on the stage
my hands were clenched in fists of rage.
no angel born in hell
could break that satans spell.
and as the flames climbed high into the night
to light the sacrificial rite,
i saw satan laughing with delight
the day the music died

he was singing,
bye-bye, miss american pie.
drove my chevy to the levee,
but the levee was dry.
them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
and singin, thisll be the day that i die.
thisll be the day that i die.

i met a girl who sang the blues
and i asked her for some happy news,
but she just smiled and turned away.
i went down to the sacred store
where i'd heard the music years before,
but the man there said the music wouldnt play.

and in the streets: the children screamed,
the lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
but not a word was spoken;
the church bells all were broken.
and the three men i admire most:
the father, son, and the holy ghost,
they caught the last train for the coast
the day the music died.

and they were singing,
bye-bye, miss american pie.
drove my chevy to the levee,
but the levee was dry.
and them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
singin, thisll be the day that i die.
thisll be the day that i die.

they were singing,
bye-bye, miss american pie.
drove my chevy to the levee,
but the levee was dry.
them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
singin, thisll be the day that i die.

a poison tree

2009-03-22T10:48:00.000-07:00

i was angry with my friend:
i told my wrath, my wrath did end.
i was angry with my foe:
i told it not, my wrath did grow.

and i watered it in fears
night and morning with my tears,
and i sunned it with smiles
and with soft deceitful wiles.

and it grew both day and night,
till it bore an apple bright,
and my foe beheld it shine,
and he knew that it was mine -

and into my garden stole
when the night had veiled the pole;
in the morning, glad, i see
my foe outstretched beneath the tree.

: a poison tree by william blake

the arrow and the song

2009-03-11T13:34:00.000-07:00

i shot an arrow into the air,
it fell to earth, i knew not where;
for, so swiftly it flew, the sight
could not follow it in its flight.

i breathed a song into the air,
it fell to earth, i knew not where;
for who has sight so keen and strong,
that it can follow the flight of song?

long, long afterward, in an oak
i found the arrow, still unbroke;
and the song, from beginning to end,
i found again in the heart of a friend.

: henry wadsworth longfellow

the road not taken

2009-03-05T09:04:00.000-08:00

two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
and sorry i could not travel both
and be one traveler, long i stood
and looked down one as far as i could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;

then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim,
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for that the passing there
had worn them really about the same,

and both that morning equally lay
in leaves no step had trodden black.
oh, i kept the first for another day!
yet knowing how way leads on to way,
i doubted if i should ever come back.

i shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and i--
i took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.

home thoughts from abroad

2009-02-09T13:19:00.000-08:00

title: home thoughts from abroad | artist: clifford t. ward
i can't explain how i feel...

i could be a millionaire if i had the money
i could own a mansion, no i don't think I'd like that
but i might write a song that makes you laugh, now that would be funny
and you could tell your friends in england you'd like that
but now i've chosen aeroplanes and boats to come between us
and a line or two on paper wouldn't go amiss
how is worcestershire? is it still the same between us?
do you still use television to send you fast asleep?
can you last another week? does the cistern still leak?
or have you found a man to mend it?
oh, and by the way, how's your broken heart?
is that mended too? i miss you
i miss you, i really do.

i've been reading browning, keats and william wordsworth
and they all seem to be saying the same thing for me
well i like the words they use, and i like the way they use them
you know, home thoughts from abroad is such a beautiful poem
and i know how robert browning must have felt
'cause i'm feeling the same way about you
wondering what you're doing and if you need some help
do i still occupy your mind? am i being so unkind?
do you find it very lonely, or have you found someone to laugh with?
oh, and by the way, are you laughing now?
'cause i'm not, i miss you
i miss you, i really do.

stopping by woods on a snowy evening

2008-10-06T13:29:00.000-07:00

whose woods these are i think i know,

his house is in the village though.

he will not see me stopping here,

to watch his woods fill up with snow.

my little horse must think it queer,

to stop without a farmhouse near,

between the woods and frozen lake,

the darkest evening of the year.

he gives his harness bells a shake,

to ask if there is some mistake.

the only other sound's the sweep,

of easy wind and downy flake.

the woods are lovely, dark and deep,

but i have promises to keep,

and miles to go before i sleep,

and miles to go before i sleep.

right here waiting for you

2008-09-11T07:26:00.000-07:00

[ this is the nicest sweetest song i ever heard. now it got a different meaning... it takes me to somewhere else which i can't see but feel inside me...]

title: right here waiting for you

song by: richard marx

oceans apart day after day
and i slowly go insane
i hear your voice on the line
but it doesn't stop the pain
if i see you next to never
how can we say forever
wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you

i took for granted, all the times
that i though would last somehow
i hear the laughter, i taste the tears
but i can't get near you now
oh, can't you see it baby
you've got me goin' crazy
wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you

i wonder how we can survive
this romance
but in the end if i'm with you
i'll take the chance
oh, can't you see it baby
you've got me goin' crazy
wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you

don't cry joni

2008-08-19T08:23:00.000-07:00

[first i heard this song in 1998, in a radio program. i had recorded half of the song and listened it hundreds time. i got the full song just few months ago. ]

title: don't cry joni
song by: conway twitty & jonilee

jimmy please say you'll wait for me
i'll grow up someday you'll see
saving all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true.

joni was the girl who lived next door
i've known her i guess ten years or more.
joni wrote me a note one day.
and this is what she had to say.

jimmy please say you'll wait for me
i'll grow up someday you'll see
saving all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true.

slowly I read her note once more
then i went over to the house next door
her tear-drops fell like rain that day
when i told joni what i had to say.

joni, joni please don't cry
you'll forget me by and by
you're just fifteen and i'm twenty two,
and joni i just can’t wait for you.

soon i left out little home town,
got me a job and tried to settle down
but these words kept haunting my memory,
the words that joni said to me.

jimmy please say you'll wait for me
i'll grow up some day you'll see
saving all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true.

i packed my clothes and i caught a plane
and i had to see joni. i had to explain,
how my heart was filled with her memory
and ask my joni if she marry me

i ran all the way to the house next door
but things weren't like they were before
my tear-drops fell like rain that day
when i heard what joni had to say.

jimmy, jimmy please don't cry
you'll forget me by and by.
it's been five years since you've been gone
jimmy, i married your best friend john.

why should i cry for you

2008-08-17T08:57:00.000-07:00

[ this song was recommended by someone really special... so the song is special...]

title: why should i cry for you
song by: sting

under the dog star sail
over the reefs of moonshine
under the skies of fall
north, north west, the stones of faroe

under the arctic fire
0ver the seas of silence
hauling on frozen ropes
for all my days remaining
but would north be true?

all colours bleed to red
asleep on the ocean's bed
drifting on empty seas
for all my days remaining

but would north be true?
why should i?
why should i cry for you?
dark angels follow me
over a godless sea
mountains of endless falling,
for all my days remaining,

what would be true?

sometimes i see your face,
the stars seem to lose their place
why must i think of you?
why must i?
why should i?
why should i cry for you?
why would you want me to?
and what would it mean to say,
that, "i loved you in my fashion"?

what would be true?
why should i?
why should i cry for you?
