I will meet you in some place
where the light lends itself to soft repose

I will let you undress me
but I warn you, I have thorns like any rose

and you could hurt me with your bare hands
you could hurt me using the sharp end of what you say
but I'm lost to you now
and there's no amount of reason to save me

so break me
take me
just let me feel your arms again

break me
take me
just let me feel your love again

feels like being underwater
now that I've let go and lost control
water kisses fill my mouth
water cloud fills my soul

so break me
take me
just let me feel your arms again

make me
I'll let you make me
just let me feel your love again

kiss me once
well, maybe twice
oh, it never felt so nice

break me
take me
just let me fill your love again

break me
I'll let you make me
just let me feel your arms again

just let me
feel your love again

what music in my ipod does not automatically translates as what music I currently listen to, some are, but the other half are music I intend to listen, if I have the patient to wait for the particular bits that will intrigue my interests, however some are in constant play on any bike-ride, or heating Cornelius.

from most often being listened order, here are they

mew - and the glass handed kites

I once witnessed their live in a collective concert, and pretty much blown away. I instinctively realize that all the material brought in the concert came from this particular album, one I always have but failed to listen due to its nature of coming into my hand with another album by the now deformed Sikth.

the whole pieces blend together seamlessly and enjoyable from get go. Mew's androgyny vocalist (you can google for his name) did his part perfectly without trying to be someone else, no growl what so ever is present for a well arranged progressive-pop album.

despite being quite a fan of this album, I find it hard to listen to other of their stuff, and have often short in patience to wait for a hook.

the other fact why I like this album so much is anybody can sing to it if they can catch the breaks on each song, though blended with other songs, making it an enjoyable singing-to-a-tune experience.

opeth - ghost reveries

a considerably old release by opeth, an all time favorite prog-deathmetal band, or at least in this album, from sweden. the grand conjuration was the initial reason why I love this album, as it grew on me on successive listen. but I can swear to you that Mikael Åkerfeldt made the scariest growl I have ever listened to, and I have listened to a lot.

it is in this release that opeth, in my opinion, managed to sound exactly like it should, which is an understatement. I used to have the latest album in my ipod, but was deleted as I hardly listen to it.

a post in sputnikmusic illustrated it like, knowing your beloved girlfriend had changed into a hot sexy office woman who never wear nothing but miniskirts, hot, but not the reason why you're in love with her back in the days.

I guess each release by opeth cater to different types of listeners, and this one cater to my type of listener. this album by far have the most played songs in the ipod.

jaga jazzist - what we must

what we must represents the zen of music, the pinnacle of heartfelt symphony and the sky-is-the-limit types of arrangements. with ten active members all in all, the results are impressively out of this earth.

as the album that got me listen to the norwegian prog-jazz in the first place, I found myself unable to find anything on par with the mastery of this album, arrangement wise or ear-friendly wise, at least to my ears.

as far as european styles go, some of the best songs in the album follow the similar pattern of building up to a climax, ending them with a blast or a happy ending, a stellar performance carried flawlessly to no end.

the album managed to get me to some of the hippest norwegian musicians around, including Mattias Eick and band leader Lars Horntveth. for lack of a better statement, no ipod is complete without what we must in it, and what you must is make the time to listen to the album.

some days her shape in the doorway
will speak to me
a bird's wing on the window
sometimes I'll hear when she's sleeping
her fever dream
a language on her face

I want your flowers like babies want God's love
or maybe as sure as tomorrow will come

some days, like rain on the doorstep
she'll cover me
with grace in all she offers
sometimes I'd like just to ask her
what honest words
she can't afford to say, like

I want your flowers like babies want God's love
or maybe as sure as tomorrow will come

-for mom-

love,
I get so lost, sometimes
days pass
and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts,
they return
and the grand facade,
so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway
to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution
of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love,
I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired
of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you
to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts,
they return
and the grand facade,
so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway
to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution
of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes

e da un po' che io ci penso su
che cosa farei lantano da qui
da tutte queste inutili bugie
che ogni giorno devo vivere
comprendere

vorrei volare via
per un momento
dire solo a te
quello che sento
senza aver paura d'amare
senza aver paura...

e da un po' che io ci penso su
che strada farei lontano da qui
lontano dai rumori e dalle immagini
che ogni giorno vedo intorno a me
e dentro me...

vorrei volare via
per un momento
dire solo a te
quello che sento
non aver paura d'amare
si', non aver paura...

io ti nascondero'
dietro ai miei occhi
e ti difendero'
da mille attacchi
senza aver paura d'amare
senza aver paura... di te

she'll let you in her house
if you come knockin' late at night
she'll let you in her mouth
if the words you say are right
if you pay the price
she'll let you deep inside
but there's a secret garden she hides

she'll let you in her car
to go drivin' round
she'll let you into the parts of herself
that'll bring you down
she'll let you in her heart
if you got a hammer and a vise
but into her secret garden, don't think twice

you've gone a million miles
how far'd you get
to that place where you can't remember
and you can't forget

she'll lead you down a path
there'll be tenderness in the air
she'll let you come just far enough
so you know she's really there
she'll look at you and smile
and her eyes will say
she's got a secret garden
where everything you want
where everything you need
will always stay

a million miles away

you are so beautiful
to me
you are so beautiful
to me

can't you see
you're everything I hope for
you're everything I need

you are so beautiful
to me

I used to dream of only you
now I don't do that.
I used to miss talkin' to you
oh, now I don't do that.

Since you've been gone I learned to stop
tryin' to hold on because

there's not one night, one single day
that I wouldn't give to you.
So with all my might in every way,
I'll try to forget you too.

I thought you could tell me anything
yeah, you used to do that.
You let me inside of everything
yeah, you used to do that.

Never to change at least I thought
it feels so strange because

there's not one night, one single day
that I wouldn't give to you.
So with all my might in every way,
I'll try to forget you too.

Loneliness may come knockin' at my door
where I'm comin' from that don't phase me anymore.
Time has shed a little light on where I'm supposed to be
there ain't no used in thinking you'll come running back to me.

Since you've been gone I learned to stop
tryin' to hold on because

there's not one night, one single day
that I wouldn't give to you.
So with all my might in every way,
I'll try to forget you too.

betapa gue dulu sucker for Mr. Big, dan ini salah satu lagu fav gue dari album the best mereka yang keluar tahun 1996, Big Bigger Bigest. Semoga mereka mainin ni lagu ntar pas konser reuni, amiin

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why'd you fill my sorrows
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why'd ya sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why'd you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place that you've known
And why'd you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?

And why'd you fill my sorrows
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place that you've known
Why'd you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?

lagunya Damien Rice.. so delicate.. bye mba Emm, I will miss you..

You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far, we are, so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close
To reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
Let's go on, on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

it's a soundtrack to a dance scene done beautifully in the movie entitled Enchanted. I liked the way he started the song, but soon the acting started to breathe life into the song, making it the best part of the movie.. shit, I'm a sucker for romantic comedies.. :(

pride can stand a thousand trials
the strong will never fall
but watching stars without you
my soul cries

heaving heart is full of pain
the aching

touch me deep, pure and true
give to me forever

rows and flows of angel hair

an ice cream castle in the air

and feather canyons everywhere

I've looked at clouds that way

but now they only block the sun

they rain and they snow on everyone

so many things I would've done

but clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

from up and down, and still somehow

it's cloud illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

moons and junes and ferris wheels

the dizzy dancing way you feel

as every fairy tale comes real

I've looked at love that way

but now its just another show

you leave 'em laughing when you go

and if you care, don't let them know

don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now

from give and take, and still somehow

it's love's illusions I recall

I really don't know love at all

tears and fears and feeling proud

to say I love you right out loud

dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I've looked at life that way

but now old friends, they're acting strange

they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed

well something's lost, but something's gained

in a living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now

from win and lose and still somehow

it's life's illusions I recall

I really dont know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now

from up and down, and still somehow

it's lifes illusions I recall

I really dont know life

at all

could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God
could you ever buy you love and not count the cost
could you ever take a life when all was lost
would it ever be enough

could you bite the hand that feeds and then ask for more
could you kiss the wound that bleeds spit it on the floor
could you open up your heart and then close the door
would it ever be enough

every word you whisper
all the tears you hide
you die for love when it's alive
but where does love go when it dies

if you came across your dream would you walk on by
hold a candle to the wind and just let it die
and is there room inside your mind for one more try
would it ever be enough

I watch the time go rushing by it's like an ocean wave
showing you no mercy throwing dirt upon your grave
you're drowning in the darkness and you're blinded by the light
and there ain't no prayer that's gonna save you now

if you woke up from your sleep blood on your hands
would you wash the pain away no one understands
there must be someone out there who can help you breathe again
and would it ever be enough

every word you whisper
all the tears you hide
you die for love when it's alive
but where does love go when it dies

This circus is falling down on its knees
The big top is crumbling down
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one's around

I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call

These train conversations are passing me by
And I don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way

I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat

And I get no answers
And I don't get no change
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same
There's things I remember and things I forget
I miss you I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?

I need a phone call Maybe I should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train Baby, if I listen real hard
And I wish, I wish it was a small world
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I guess it's time to put the top down

I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat
I really really need a rain coat
I really really really need a rain coat
I really need a raincoat

I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...

has gotta be one of the song that lyrically means something.. in addition, somewhat tells a simple truth everyone reluctant to realize..

these are the song facts from www.songfacts.com , do check them out

In tended to arrange a compilation album for me to listen at just lazy moments, I figured that a song from the Rolling Stones will do. And from the Let It Bleed Album, I stumbled upon this great title that is so true, and realized that it even sounds great..

so what's your favorite flavor?

tanggal 15 desember.

lagi nungguin oppie kelar, ga tau ampe kapan.

Anto nyetel lagu josh groban males banget.

kepala pusing, nyetel zen bikin kuping pegel dan pala tambah pening.

pingin makan.

tiba tiba nyanyiin lagu ini dan baru nyadar ternyata bagus juga .

i'm standing on the bridge
i'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
there's nothing but the rain
no footsteps on the ground
i'm listening but there's no sound

isn't anyone trying to find me
won't somebody come take me home

it's a damn cold night!
trying to figure out this life
won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
i don't know who you are but i
i'm with you
i'm with you

... gue lupa, jadi langsung ke bagian ini

'cos nuthin's goin right
and everythin’s a mess
and no one likes to be alone

euh!

why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind

yeiyeiyeiyeiyeiyeiyeiyeyeeeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeee

it's a damn cold night
trying to figure out this life
won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
i don't know who you are but i
i'm with you
i'm with youuhuuu
i'm with you..


hmmmm malesnya

dan mungkin sebenernya nih lagu ga ada aritnya bwt gue, yang gue bayangin cuman mbak avril jalan di tengah jalan pake jaket kulit ma celana sedengkul dan sepatu bot..

euh!

Standing here, the old man said to me
'Long before these crowded streets, here stood my dreaming tree'

Below it he would sit for hours at a time.
Now progress takes away what forever took to find.

Now he's falling hard, he feels the falling dark,
how he longs to be, beneath his dreaming tree.

Conquered fear to climb, a moment froze in time,
when the girl who first he kissed promised him she'd be his.

Remembered mother's words, there beneath the tree,
'no matter what the world, you'll always be my baby.'

Mommy come quick, the dreaming tree has died,
the air is growing thick, a fear he cannot hide

The dreaming tree has died.


Oh have you no pity

This thing I do

I do not deny it

All through this smile

As crooked as danger

I do not deny

I know in my mind

I would leave you now

If I had the strength to

I would leave you up

To your own devices

Will you not talk

Can you take pity

I don't ask much

But won't you speak

Please

From the start, She knew she had it made
Easy up 'til then, for sure she'd make the grade

Adorers came in hordes, to lay down in her wake
She gave it all she had, but treasures slowly fade

Now she's falling hard, she feels the fall of dark
How did this fall apart, she drinks to fill it up

A smile of sweetest flowers, wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks, that once were so admired

She thinks when she was small, there on her father's knee
how he had promised her, 'You'll always be my baby'

Daddy come quick, the dreaming tree has died,
I can't find my way home, there is no place to hide

The dreaming tree has died

Oh, if I had the strength...
Take me back...

Take me back...

Take me back...

Take me back...

Take me back...

Take me back...

Save me please...



(followed by a beautiful solo sax for 29 seconds by Leroy (God rest his soul)

Taken from the album Before These Crowded Streets by the Dave Matthews Band, about one who questions faith through the subject of death.
the dreaming tree is a perfect utopian world. Written by Stefan Lessard (bass) in mourning the death of his daughter.

a beautiful song indeed.

You, with your hand outstretched
Finger on the key
This lock that you release
Is opening but isn't free
And I hope that you can see
How it beats inside of me
Instead of pushing fear aside
I want to run I want to hide
I am vulnerably yours

She, who is wanting me
Whose touch can make me cry
I can only understand
By never asking her why
Hear the contradictions fly
And as hard as I may try
Every truth becomes a lie
In the ache of her reply

I am passionately yours
And the saddest eyes are yours
And the softest skin is yours
And the hope I borrow is yours
So won't you let me in I'm yours
All that I begin is yours
Every prize I win is yours
At your feet again I'm yours
All I am is yours
All I am is wanting you

I've fallen down and I can't seem to come to
If I should die before I wake
I commend my soul into this ache
Up above the world so high
Where the water tends to meet the sky
She's all I'm after by the toe
And I won't let go...
And I wanted you to know
That if you reap what you would sew
I would take it blow by blow

All I am is yours
And the saddest eyes are yours
And the softest skin is yours
And the hope I borrow is yours
So won't you let me in I'm yours
All that I begin is yours
Every prize I win is yours
At your feet again I'm yours
All I am is yours

waktu gue smu gue nemu kaset blues traveler di kamar kakak keponakan gue, dan salah satunya adalah lagu ini your, lyric by john popper, kayanya suatu fakta yang ga bisa dielakkan kalo gue, uhm, entah bagaimana, mengikuti selera musik kakak2 keponakan gue itu, tell you the stories later, gotta meet this chick I like so much.

well she's walking through the clouds
with a circus mind that's running wild
butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales
riding with the wind

when I'm sad she comes to me
with a thousand smiles she gives to me free
it's all right, cos she said its alright

and I said, take anything that you want from me
I mean anything

Silent star
screams afar
I gaze at you my light

exploding chill
this aching will
when the moon is right
you shine

hold it up
don't let it down
don't stop me now

kiss me
please just kiss me
'cause your eyes look adorable
with you I'm home again

emerging fear
that you're not here
I can see
you're changing ways

the wind is strong
the moon is gone
and your shadow disappears

hold it up
don't let it down
don't stop me now

kiss me
please just kiss me
'cause your eyes look adorable
with you I'm home again
don't stop me now
