Escapism. Music. They are synonymous to me. Just been going through some tracks that I’ve not listened to for a while, and I think this one is appropriate for exam periods. Ah we can but dream.

The song has pretty whacked out lyrics, but I think some of us want some of that excitement. I know I for one do. Not the stupidity that they suggest, but pretty catchy *shrug*

Know that I’m not suggesting you actually do go and pretend and be an idiot. But I suppose if you were planning to, do share the exciting stories .
I do not condone stupidity, but it sure can be funny

And yes I do know I’m doing quite a few music posts. I guess now people might actually get to know what kind of music I listen to o.o :O!!!!111oneoneone

Don’t mind the picture of the dude. Just think he does an awesome version of the song. You have the Beatles, and you have Fiona, but I think he brings a different element to what’s already a great song.

Posted by azngeek at October 31st, 2008

I swear. I’m addicted to this song right now.

And the lyrics:

I think some of the lyrics are pretty meaningful ahhah. I’m a sap sometimes. Pffbt.

This time
I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren’t enough
So I’ll be waiting for the real thing
I’ll know it by the feeling
The moment when we’re meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I’ll be holdin’ my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There’s gotta be somebody for me like that

‘Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There’s gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight out on the street out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right
It’s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin’ here with you
So I’ll be holdin’ my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with?

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There’s gotta be somebody for me like that

‘Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There’s gotta be somebody for me out there

You can’t give up!
Lookin’ for that diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you’re holdin’ on
‘Cause it could be the one, the one you’re waiting on

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There’s gotta be somebody for me out there

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there.

I’ve been studying for one of my exams, and most of this paper is pretty okay except this one bit which is driving me insane, I even almost snapped at someone when they were talking to me. : / I’m sorry.

This semester I’ve been neglecting certain aspects of my life. I wish to rectify it after my exams. Haven’t talked to any of my old Malaysian buddies for yonks. Hmmm. I guess just a little half arse update by me : P

Shattered by Of A Revolution

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it’s always back to you

Don’t wanna turn that car around
I gotta turn this thing around

So -
In the beginning there was hum
from a poet whose pulse felt
DRUM DRUM DRUM!
He would perform prayers and all
till one day he heard a voice call
COME COME COME!
Just because he moved it was his cost
Just because he thinks he was a little lost.
People get held back
by the voice inside ‘em.

Yo -
The voice said a voice speak inside you,
Rejoice and please let me invite you.
To evil greed and lies too.

Yeah
Confusing days he moved in ways it soon became hakuna
Koon Koon Koon.
and knock on his door the lord is no more
and knock on his door his soul is no more

la la la la…yeah
la la la la…that was in the beginning
la la la la…as the story goes on
la la la la…

So, so so-
The poets got a proposal
he would always hope but never know
what it feels to be free.
He would be the frozen imposed as the toes on all of the posin’
But it would be greed.
thats got him there
he’s bound, hungry and, proud too.
People don’t care, people just scared,
People don’t care, people just prayer.

la la la la…yeah
la la la la…that was in the beginning
la la la la…there was a hum
la la la la…and things changed
la la la la…yeah, yeah

say-
it’s better to light a candle than to curse the dark
in the eyes of the youth there are question marks
like freedom, freedom for the mind and soul
we don’t see em,
see them for their worth at all.
that’s why we lead em
lead em to these wars and what is it we feed em
feed em our impurities and who it is we treat em
treat em like the enemy humanity will need em
need em like the blood we spill and where freedom

freedom for the hearts we fill
mislead em
they hunger for the love we give but we cheat em

the guys beat em and all he wants is his feedom em
so they defeat em

whatever spirit he’s got
beat em
and they teach em the rest of the world don’t need him
and he believes it’s a disease that he’s heathen
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is

la la la la…that was in the beginning
la la la la… and things change

yeah, yeah, yeah.

we keep holding on,
And we keep being strong,
And we keep going on,
and on and on and on.

3x
[ And we keep holding on,
And we keep being strong,
And we keep going on,
and on and on and on. ]

Signing Off,

One of my favorite songs for the moment. I think it’ll hit mainstream within half a years time:

Nothing to lose is a path you can choose and it feels just right at the time.
Then one day you awake with a fear you can’t shake,
you’re an actor forgetting your lines.
You were a star when you started,
so bright eyed and ready but now you just can’t seem to shine.
Nothing to lose is a path that you choose and it feels just right at the time.

But can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young.
There are constants like gravity, heartbreak and shame,
you can never out-run them,
they’re part of your name like lessons you learn from a past you can’t change,
stay young, stay young for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews,
yeah it’s hard not to end up a cynic
when everyone’s too scared to walk in your shoes
but can work up the nerve to be critics.

Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young - no, don’t lose you heart.
Don’t lose your soul. Don’t give up control.
It’s the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black,
useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues,
stay young, stay young! Oh can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids
trying to keep up our innocence in this fucked up world?
Stay young, stay young, stay young

EDIT:
just leave a comment with your email. And I’ll make sure you get to hear it sometime soon.

She is so damn awesome I can’t even begin to describe what she is and how she sounds like. She’s a singer. And I literally just listened to her cd four times over. Every song makes sense and speaks to you in distinct ways. I can’t explain it. It just is so amazingly good.

THANK YOU AZNGEEK. I’m sure I thanked you before but this deserves one here. First of all thanks for introducing me to her music. The cd pwned the mp3’s. Mainly because I was missing a few and it sounds so, so much better. Shes hot too. That helps a whole lot. Not typical looks but shes definitely uber attractive. My god. Such an overlooked Kiwi.

Album cover from Wiki. Its probably cprighted but since when has that stopped anyone eh. It had to be this pic or no other.

Seriously, check out her stuff. Buy her album if you can find it. Worship the ground she stands on. Zomgness. Her lyrics mix contemporary stuff with like fantastic wordplay that means so much when you get it. She’s on youtube too. So check that out too. Many Christian references but nothing overpowering. More like snippets here and there that kinda hold it together. It’s basically for anyone who likes slow soully calming awesome awesome stuff. Some great lyrics:

I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
That turned to mine and asked belligerently
“What do I live for?”

I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
There’s a question like a shame no one will show
“What do I live for?”

We are Hosea’s wife
We are squandering this life
Using people like ladders and words like knives

Then comes the awesome chorus. Did I mention her voice is like freagin amazing. So good it makes me sad that she will probably never come to Malaysia. Damnit.

Album’s name belongs to a girl in Rwanda who met Brooke on her trip there. Good story behind that too.

Haha. Not really an impartial or insightful review. Mainly because I can’t dissect her music and tell you stuff about it. Not impossible probably but it works for me to just listen to all the songs and let them do the talking. In this genre(whatever it is), she is definitely one of the friggin best. No favourites or anything.

Go support her already!

pSyCh

-ps: can’t find any of her albums here. her first or this one. props to azngeek for sending it over from aucklando. Think I’ll repay him with some Siti Nurhaliza albums asap. Erm. Not?

John Denver’s Annie’s Song. The lyrics are just fucking beautiful. Divine. Linguistically divine. The metaphors. So simple. But just so beautiful.

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head

How do you feel, that is the question
But I forget you don’t expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes initialized
And folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can’t expect a bit of hope
So while you’re outside looking in describing what you see
Remember what you’re staring at is me

Cause I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real, so much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins contaminating everything
We thought came from the heart,
But never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises (null and void instead of voices)
Before you tell yourself
It’s just a different scene
Remember its just different from what you’ve seen….

I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
And All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head
Cause I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head

And it’s the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it’s the stars
The stars that lie to you yeh ya ……..

I’m looking at you through the glass,
don’t know how much time has passed ,
Oh God it feels like forever,
but no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head…

Cause I’m looking at you through the glass,
don’t know how much time has passed ,
All I know is that it feels like forever,
but no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head…

And it’s the stars
The stars that shine for you yeh ya
And it’s the stars
The stars that lie to you yeh ya
And it’s the stars
The stars that shine for you yeh ya
And it’s the stars
The stars that lie to you……. yeh ya

Who are the stars?
Who are the stars?
They lie…

Song: Seasons Of Love Lyrics

COMPANY
525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure,
measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In
inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In 525,600 minutes - how do you
measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of
love.

SOLOIST 1
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan. 525,600 minutes - how can you measure
the life of a woman or man?

SOLOIST 2
In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried. In bridges he burned, or
the way that she died.

COMPANY
It’s time now to sing out, tho the story never ends let’s celebrate remember a year in the life of friends. Remember
the love! Remember the love! Remember
the love! Measure in love. Seasons of love! Seasons of love.

flu..

that darn word.

Sigh. Guess its all that crap I’ve been eating. Or some asshole on the train who didn’t know any better sneezed/coughed on me. Either way, whats done is done, I just have to be patient now and hope its not some rare strain *cough*birdflu*couch*

Nah… the chances of that happening is what.. 1 in 100 million? Sounds about right.

The doctor took his time molesting my chest with his steel tool. Again and again. He kept rubbing it. Hard. Then soft. Then hard again. Well he didnt alternate hard and soft. But he really did keep it on my chest for a long time. Made me breathe in around 18 times. I thought 4 is the maximum doctors were supposed to go?

Anyways its official cos its from the doctor(I knew I was sick the moment I started feeling like crap). Im sick. My throats annoying me so much i feel like pouring acid down it just to make the feeling go away. My nose is incontinent. My head’s better tho. Headaches are gone. I think thats cos of the meds but I’m thankful nonetheless. Skipped last three periods yesterday. Took my chem quiz during 3rd period instead of 6th. I love my chem teacher. I really do. I’m sure that bitch of a woman teaching me math would made some stupid excuse about protocol or regulations or something equally lame.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS POST

Browsing music forums and fans of this guy were so persistent that I just had to listen to his music to see what the big deal was about. A short clip from one of his songs coming up. I think its short enough not to make you wait more than 3 minutes to dload. I like it. Kinda Damien Ricey but without the accent and hes way better imo =) Unfortunately his albums arent available anywhere out of the US (thats the downside to liking indie artists cos they dont have the cash to promote internationally. I dont see why he and other indie artists who are actually talented have to slog so hard and people like Ashlee Simpson who are honestly not talented but have rich parents/sisters get to go international automatically wihtout even trying. Her voice aint nothing to brag about either. And its not just Ashlee, but shes pretty bad. I was an Ashlee fan once(when i was young and naive). Her songs are catchy stuff but after a while we all see her for what she really is… something im not gonna mention here. I’m not even gonna begin to talk about that damn Paris Hilton.

Sacha Sacket. Indie artist

Nice song. Enjoy.

Lifehouse - Good Enough Lyrics

It seems the more we talk
The less I have to say
Let’s put our differences aside
I wanted to make you proud

But I just got in your way
I found a place where I can hide
Now everything is changing
But I still feel the same

We’re running out of time
What do I have to do
To try to make you see
That this is who I am
And its all that I can be

I tried to find myself
Looking inside your eyes
You were all that I was meant to be
There must be something else

Behind all the lies
That you have lead me to believe
Now everyone is saying
That I should find a way
To leave it all behind

What do I have to do
To try to make you see
That this is who I am
And its all that I can be

What do I have to do
To try to make you see
Trying to be like you
isn’t good enough for me

I wont let you go
I wont let you down
I wont give you up

don’t you give up on me now
What do I have to do
To try to make you see
That this is who I am
And its all that I can be

What do I have to do
To try to make you see
Trying to be like you
isn’t good enough for me
What do I have to do
To try to make you see

I don’t usually post up lyrics as you would have noticed, but this one just hit the spot. Music is relating. And here I relate. Go get the song, I’ll buy a copy of this song, because I just urghhh, words escape me. I’m not sure whether it’s out yet officially, but I heard it on The Wild soundtrack. Don’t give me your judgemental stares readers. It’s an absofucking-mind-numbing song.

Hay non-existential readers. I think you all should make your way over here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zTPDVkVFOs

Mclars - Download This Song. It’s a catchy tune, and I think it carries some wisdom so profound that all of you should watch it a gazillion times plus one. And if you like the song, go to;

http://www.myspace.com/mclars

Download their songs, and if you like them, offer a donation. They are pretty awesome. Go go go Mclars! They sound like the typical American whiny group that are being manufactured at such a streamline rate that they will slowly overpopulate the world, but their lyrics are actually good. I think that’s a key difference, and the reason why you should check them out. If you don’t you really suck. Suck rong time! (Suck long time!)

Heh, on another note it’s Natalie’s birthday. Have a smashing 18th. Go out, get smashed. Go get buzzed, go get drunk, go get drunk! You are legal now, and can now do the things you were previously doing illegally, legally! Quite mind boggling, that she’s already 18! Natty nat nat!

Hey, it’s me again, won’t post for a while,till the next weekend. So yea, thought I might do a quickie before I go off. Psych listed some amazing music tracks, and I began searching around and I found some amazing stuff, with my inherently incredible intelligence. Here’s my list of some 90s tracks, the era of the awesomest music ever. Add a comment if you have some to recommend :

1. Third Eye Blind - Jumper
2. Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life
3. Collective Soul - The World I Know
4. Tal Bachman - She’s So High
5. Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me
6. Take That - Back For Good
7. Chumbawumba - Tubthumping
8. Ace of Base - I Saw The Signs

I think that basically concludes my amaza-list for now. Can’t think of anythign else.

Hey guys. I don’t blame anyone for not coming here anymore. I’m surrounded by lazy bastards [no offense =)] who don’t post for days on end. Me included I guess. Dontcha just hate lazy people…. I’ve been trying all week long to remember all those really awesome songs from the 90’s I used to listen to on the radio and download them. Only got around to a few. The ones I do remember during the day I forget to write down and as a result get sucked back into that awesome vortex of information that is my outrageously perfect brain. For your benefit, here they are:

1. Matchbox 20 - Push
2. Third Eye Blind - How’s It Going To Be
3. The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen
4. The Wallflowers - One Headlight
5. Cranberries - Animal Instinct
6. Oasis - Wonderwall
7. Blur - Song 2
8. Soul Asylum - Runaway Train
9. The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
10. Spin Doctors - Two Princes
11. Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know

Yeah I know. They’re great songs. Familiar cos they recieved alot of airplay in their day (how else do you expect a child of less than 12 years to hear them back then?) If you were growing up in the 90’s, these songs probably will remind you of a simpler time. One where all you did was wake up, go to school to pretty much have fun, go home. Rinse repeat repeat repeat. It does that to me anyway. Almost hypnotic once my eyes are closed. Amazing stuff. The list is long but these ones do the best job. Nostalgiaticishsongs. Gives me the chills.

Oh yea. On to serious real life issues. I killed a cat two days ago. Going not more than 65 on a straight goddamn road.  It just darted out in one freaking second. Maybe even less than a second from a bush beside the road right in front of me. I saw later that there was another cat behind it so I guess one was running away from the other or something? No idea. I’m clueless when it comes to feline social behaviour. Anyway, I braked really hard the second I saw it. Heard the screeching. No cars behind me so I was pretty much alone with a possibly dead cat on the road. Manoeuvred to the side, got out. It was dead allright. Thank god it wasnt twitching/suffering etc. Pretty sure that would’ve made the situation worse. Not gonna describe it though. Not too gruesome. Just makes me feel really guilty. I know The Azngeek loves animals to death (cats .. cats.. cats) but even he knows that animals can be as dumb as heck sometimes and due to physics, they die. Heck, I love animals too. I would’ve done anything not to hit that darn cat. I kinda realized I wouldve hit it no matter what I did. Maybe if I  swerved to the right all the way… Eh. No dif right? Sigh. Anyway that was my guilt rant. Showered for an hour when I got home. Still felt dirty. It was inevitable but just knowing that I took the life of an animal just gets me slightly down. I moved the corpse to the side of the road btw. Didnt want motorists smashing it more. A useless gesture at getting its forgiveness. Pretty sure(hoping anyway) it was a stray cos it wasnt collared. Doesn’t mean much but theres a good chance it was. Heres to the cat I banged(omfg pervs). May it rest in peace. May it not haunt me at night. May I never drive over 30 ever again lest I kill more animals.
Heres to hoping animals dont dart in front of me ever again. And if they do, may they either be far enough for me to brake in time, or really really really lucky. Was gonna blog about something else but for the life of me cant remember what. Maybe dota? Nah. That deserves a whole post on its own. I might not be kidding there. Hell yeah I am.
Ooo another thing, Utopian Age number kajazillion and one is gonna start in a while. By next week I hope. Just a heads up to all those people who wanted to play utopia, but were afraid to ask how and when.
http://games.swirve.com/UTOPIA/

Eh, I give up, was hoping I would remember that thing I forgot but it looks like its not gonna happen. Tis posts long anyways. Tests tomorrow. Whats new? S’long invisipeeps.
