Another Victoria's Secrets

by Ane Brun


She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back
She can take the dark out of the nighttime and paint the daytime black

You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees
You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees
But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole, down upon your knees

She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall
No, she never stumbles, she's got no place to fall
She's nobody's child, the law can't touch her at all

She wears an Egyptian ring that sparkles before she speaks
She wears an Egyptian ring that sparkles before she speaks
She's a hypnotist collector, you are a walking antique

Bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes
Bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes
For Halloween, give her a trumpet and for Christmas, buy her a drum


I'm liking this song because my boyfriend 'gave' this to me and I'd like to be this girl for him. <3>

~ Damien Rice

Wherever you are, you know that I adore you
No matter how far, well I can go before you
If ever you need someone, what not that you need help in
But if ever you want someone, you know that I am willing
 
 I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across an angel, out among the danger somewhere
In the stranger's eye
 
Wherever you go, I can always follow
I can feed this real slow, if it's a lot to swallow
If you just wanna be alone, I can wait without waiting
If you want me to let this go, I am more than willing

'Cause I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across some angel, out among the danger somewhere
In the stranger's eye
 
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across some angel, out among the danger somewhere
In the stranger's eye
 
I-I've never been with anyone in the way I've been with you
But if love is not for fun, then it's doomed
'Cause water races, water races down
The waterfalls, water races, water races down
The waterfalls!
 
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across some angel where there is no danger
 
Where love has eyes, it is not blind

My brother made this song 4 years ago, upon our father's death on Dec 2009. It was a sudden death that shocked us all and brought dark times for us. This song is one of his many many songs but the first that he releases to public. Enjoy!

Macy Gray is one of my favorite singer and her newest song (that I know about) comes on my top playlist now. Simply love her voice!

I don't know how to post this, but I really think I need to. A friend promised me a short story for my birthday gift and last Tuesday he really gave it. On his blog. The title was Lima Hari Di Pasar Malam (Five Days in Night Fair). I do not have a right to copy paste it here, but short story shortened, it's about how he describes the stuff inside my head as a fair. A carnival. How fun is it!?

Well, the fair was forbidden for those who don't own a ticket, and in the story, he doesn't have it. So I guess he thinks I'm such an introvert person to him. I didn't see this coming, tho. Both the story of carnival and how he thinks of me. But it's nice to read something about ourselves from a such thoughtful person (borrowing my sister's phrase).

By the way, his name is Andi Fachri. He is a friend I met in Bali who moved back to Jakarta shortly before I did. We had fun 'coffee talks with stranger' (as he referred it), but apparently not enough to buy him a ticket to the night carnival. Shame on me, but maybe I'll work on it on our next coffee time.

It's just lovely. Thank you.
The nicest 30th birthday gift one will ever receive indeed.
;)

I turned on my iTunes this morning and it shuffled to this song, that really hit me for the first time. I ended up playing it over and over again, thinking of my best friends Rachelle and Cheryl and our friendship and how we are so much far apart but still close at heart, although we don't keep in intense touch. This song is about friendship, love, support and courage. The song that really touches hearts. Cheers, Kenny Loggins!

I think this is a great illustration of John Lennon's song Imagine, and I completely understand about the message now. It's now about erasing heaven and hell and about being atheist, but I think there's a message from our ancestors, too, here. It's about seeing the world and life from another perspective. Fact is, religions had brought so many wars to the world, so why not erasing it to have the peace on earth?

I just found this new singer from Youtube who covers the top 40s and make quite nice video clips for each of the songs. She also has her own original songs there. I haven't googled her (maybe later) but here are some of her clips.. Very girly!
(Note: I like her version of The One That Got Away and We Are Young, but I am just so into Just Give Me A Reason right now..)


Apparently there are many already covered this song, so I'm gonna show y'all those I've found. Which one do you like most? (my vote goes first to Alvord & Trevor, then Bernal & Milan, but the violin is quite interesting..)

-Whitney Houston

In every meeting there would be a goodbye. At some point you will know when to let someone go, for the better good. And what I'm feeling right now is exactly as how belated Mrs. Houston put it in this song, which the lyrics had never felt so meaningful to me before and I had never cried to this song before. I have put the other poems in my other blog but because this one isn't mine, I put it here.
So here's it, not my poem but every single word in it represents exactly how I feel inside. I'm sorry for this mellow post.


If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you
You, darling you, hmm..

Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need

And I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love

And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you

You, darling I love you
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you

Being in the state of falling in love, anyone would just melt to listen to this song. I heard this Kiss Me last night when having dinner with Lyssandre. Such a romantic scene, right! LOL. Check other Sheeran's music, too. His music is a little bit similar to James Morrisson. They are heart-fulfillment!

Oh, maybe I think maybe I don't
Maybe I will maybe I won't
Find my way this time
I hear you're calling me soon

One of these days
Some of these days, and somebody pays
It happens all the time
I'll be leaving, believing you wanted me to

And maybe I'm a fool for walking in line
And maybe I should've tried to leave this time
I'm an honest mistake that you made
Did you mean to?
Did you mean?
Oh, did you mean?

Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie
Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true

Oh, and they coloured you up
They coloured you down, they coloured you in
And I've been waiting so long
To take you home

And maybe I think, maybe I don't
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Find my way tonight
But I hear you're calling me soon

And maybe I'm a fool for walking in line
And maybe I should have tried to leave this time
I'm an honest mistake that you made
Did you mean to?
Did you mean?
Oh, did you mean?

Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie
Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true

And maybe I'm a fool for walking in line
And maybe I should've tried to leave this time
I'm an honest mistake that you made
Did you mean to?
Did you mean?
Oh, did you mean?

Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie
Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true


Got the title and singer of this song last night from Ryan 'Iyank' and googled it. Love this!

Nothing can ever make me dislike The Cranberries. I had been their big fan since my junior high years and now that they're making a new album, I'm instantly in love with Tomorrow. Here's what I made from some of the lyrics:

Maybe most of my weariness lately can be described in this one song by Sara Bareilles here. I am just so tired to fall into his gravity all over and over again... all I want is to be set free. Really, this endless weariness is exhausting!

You hold me without touch. 

You keep me without chains. 

I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign. 

CHORUS 

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. 

Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be. 

But you're on to me and all over me. 

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile. 

When I thought that I was strong. 

But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone. 

CHORUS 

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. 

Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be. 

But you're on to me and all over me. 

I live here on my knees as I 

Try to make you see that you're 

Everything I think I need here on the ground. 

But you're neither friend nor foe though I 

Can't seem to let you go. 

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah

You're onto me, onto me and all over

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long

With the girl I love and I'm like,

Forget you!

Oo, oo, oooo

I guess the change in my pocket

Wasn't enough, I'm like,

Forget you!

And forget her too!

Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with ya

ha, oh ain't that some shit?

ain't that some shit

And although there's pain in my chest

I still wish you the best with a...

Forget you!

Oo, oo, oooo

Yeah I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari,

But that don't mean I can't get you there.

I guess he's an Xbox, and I'm more Atari,

But the way you play your game ain't fair.

I pity the fool that falls in love with you oh

(oh shit she's a gold digger)

Well

(just thought you should know nigga)

Ooooooh

I've got some news for you

Yeah go run and tell your little boyfriend

I see you driving 'round town

With the girl I love and I'm like,

Forget you!

Oo, oo, oooo

I guess the change in my pocket

Wasn't enough, I'm like,

Forget you!

And forget her too!

Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with ya

ha, ain't that some shh?

(ain't that some shh)

And although there's pain in my chest

I still wish you the best with a...

Forget you!

Oo, oo, oooo

Now I know, that I had to borrow,

Beg and steal and lie and cheat.

Trying to keep ya, trying to please ya.

'Cause being in love with yo ass ain't cheap.

now, I pity the fool that falls in love with you ohh

(oh shh she's a gold digger)

Well

(just thought you should know nigga)

Ooooooh

I've got some news for you

I see you driving 'round town

With the girl I love and I'm like,

Forget you!

Oo, oo, oooo

I guess the change in my pocket

Wasn't enough, I'm like,

Forget you!

And forget her too!

Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with ya

ha, oh ain't that some shh?

(ain't that some shh)

And although there's pain in my chest

I still wish you the best with a...

Forget you!

Oo, oo, oooo

Now baby, baby, baby, why d'you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?

(so bad, so bad, so bad)

I tried to tell my mamma but she told me

"this is one for your dad"

(your dad, your dad, your dad)

Uh! Whhhy? Uh! Whhhy? Uh!

Why lady? Oh! I love you

I still Love you! Ohhhh...

I see you driving 'round town

With the girl I love and I'm like,

Forget you!

Oo, oo, oooo

Wasn't enough, I'm like,

Forget you!

And forget her too!

Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with ya

ha, ain't that some shh?

(ain't that some shh)

And although there's pain in my chest

I still wish you the best with a...

Forget you!

Oo, oo, oooo

Simply a song for the month :)

And the car that got stuck, it's the mud, it's the mud

A float, a drift, a flight, a wing

A hank, a quail, the promise of spring

And the river bank talks of the waters of March

It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart

A snake, a stick, it is John, it is Joe

It's a thorn on your hand and a cut in your toe

A point, a grain, a bee, a bite

A blink, a buzzard, a sudden stroke of night

A pin, a needle, a sting, a pain

A snail, a riddle, a wasp or a stain

A pass in the mountains, a horse and a mule

In the distance the shelves rode three shadows of blue

And the river bank talks of the waters of March

It's the promise of life in your heart, in your heart

A stick, a stone, the end of the road

The rest of a stump, a lonesome road

A sliver of glass, a life, the sun

A knife, a death, the end of the run

And the river bank talks of the waters of March

It's the end of all strain, it's the joy in your heart

~Blackout
