FRAGILE BY STING

here is one of my favorite songs Fragile by Sting (such a great singer! i love him)

FRAGILE - STING

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are



but i also like the rendition of the song by Jason Castro of American Idol.

Ken Lee is even better than my all time favorite misheard:

jam blogged about this in her multiply account the minute we watched it on TV. e bakit naman hindi. kablogblog tlga sha. at you tube material nga ang video na ito. kahit nga ako na mejo nanahimik ng matagal na panahon sa blog na ito biglang ginanahan sa pagsulat. hasus... nahulog ako sa kinauupuan ko at humagalpak kami ng kakatawa. WTF!!! kahit siguro santo mapapamura. bkt nmn kc hindi mo nlng tinagalog. paolo was even suggesting that she answer in Tagalog. wala nmng rule na kailangan ingles e. i'm sure vivienne tan wouldn't mind kc feeling ko naman nakakaintindi sha ng tagalog ano. Mala TSE pa nmn ang pagkakasagot nya sa question ni paolo about pressure saying "No, I don't feel any pressure right now."... gusto ko tuloy bigyan ng pressure sa leeg e... hehe (sa TSE kc dapat complete sentence ang isasagot mo para complete yung thought. so dapat may subject at predicate.. hehe.) mejo i was already expecting a similar response when the real question was asked. and in her case, tipong something like this:

Vivienne Tan: The question is what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?".
Janina San Miguel: The role my family played to me as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas is important. I thank you.

mas malala kung ganito

Vivienne Tan: The question is what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?".
Janina San Miguel: The role my family played to me as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas. I thank you.

at shempre hindi nya ako binigo and she even surpassed my expectations. hehe. i'm sure rehearsed ang lahat ng alam nyang isagot sa Q&A. templated na... kaya lng walang tanong na ganun dun sa book na nabasa nya about beauty queens. "How to join a beauty contest and win for dummies!" siguro meron dun "Who is the most important person in your life?" kya un ang gusto nyang ipasok na sagot... nagkamali lng nmn sha ng intro e... "They was.... " (tapos ninerbyos na sha kc nagisip na sha kung ang family ba ay plural o singular... ) in fairness to her, i guess she delved deep into sentence construction rather than the thought kaya ayun... after much deliberation ng mga nerve cells nya, minabuti nlng nyang sabihin ang isang complete sentence na may word na family na naalala nya mula sa sandamakmak na kinabisado nyang answers to possible questions. hay!@. i hope in her stint at Ms. World, magpakatotoo nlng at magtagalog. magdala nlng ng interpreter. keri na.

actually all of the candidates' answers were quite disappointing.. walang wow factor... walang pinagisipan.. puro templated answers... and more disappointing are the judges who are so forgiving as to dismiss the fact that Ms. World cannot even answer a simple question. Probably the judges were just following criteria set by BPCI with less emphasis on intelligence. so i guess if we want brainy ones to win, we would have to tell Ms. Araneta to have INTELLIGENCE as their priority criterion!

(nagalingan pala ako dun sa sagot ni elizabeth nacuspag #18 in describing the perfect family and why that question (of all questions) was even asked to her is beyond me. it was so coincidental. teary eyed, she explained that she comes from a broken family but viewed hers as perfect because they try to see each other as often as they can and share love in the best way they can.) (parang napakaganda ng disposition nya sa buhay that even in the midst of adversity, she tries to see it positively).

pro as i've said... nakarecover na ako... i've let bygones be bygones. i'm glad i was able to watch din kc at least we had a good laugh at na-aerate din ang lungs ko... i've forgiven the judges and the organizers. i've forgiven the candidates and their inadequacies. After all, it is a BEAUTY pageant.

The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends

i remember OTPI days with this song...



lyrics
Here's Where The Story Ends
The Sundays

people I know, places I go, make me feel tongue-tied
I can see how people look down, they're on the inside
here's where the story ends
people I see, weary of me showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
here's where the story ends
ooh here's where the story ends

it's that little souvenir of a terrible year
which makes my eyes feel sore
oh I never should have said, the books that you read
were all I loved you for
it's that little souvenir of a terrible year
which makes me wonder why
and it's the memories that we shared that make me turn red
surprise, surprise, surprise

crazy I know, places I go
make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
oh here's where the story ends
ooh here's where the story ends

it's that little souvenir of a terrible year
which makes my eyes feel sore
and who ever would've thought the books that you brought
were all I loved you for
oh the devil in me said, go down to the shed
I know where I belong
but the only thing I ever really wanted to say
was wrong, was wrong, was wrong

it's that little souvenir of a colourful year
which makes me smile inside
so I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
here's where the story ends
ooh here's where the story ends

an early easter egg hunt

belle and sebastian

a song by belle and sebastian... one of my favorite bands...

swissy - how it all started

nice song and proudly filipino!!! yebah!!!




here's the lyrics

HOW IT ALL STARTED - SWISSY

It was a cold and rainy night
I remember it was after midnight
We were surrounded by the sound of the city
And the buzzing of the lights

'Oh what was it about you then
That was different
A definitive moment
That's changin' both our minds

[Chorus]
And it's how this all started
Oh baby I just want you to know
It's hard to say maybe, but maybe
This time we won't let it go

You leaned over to kiss me
And the opposite worlds of you and I collide
There we stood quietly, silently, side by side

'Oh beneath all of the craziness and the laughter
We were wondrin' if tomorrow
If we could make this real

(Repeat Chorus)

I can't believe it's only yesterday
That I was me and you were only you
I'm not gonna say it's us now
I don't wanna become a cliche

And I know it's me who may be a little shy
But I want to keep it all the same
'Coz of the way it all started...
ooh.. ooh.. ladadada..doop do.. ooh.

And maybe if we could give this one more try
Maybe this time it will work out right.
Yeah...

(not sure of the lyrics, i just transcribed it.. naks!)

snow on the sahara

on our way to bayside, a band was playing this song... and then i immediately remembered some of the lyrics and was able to remember the title, but i failed to remember the singer... i asked osa if he knows it, and viola!!! he does... the answer... Anggun... husay!.. Anggun is a very talented singer... did you know that her real name is Anggun Cipta Sasmi and Anggun means "Grace born out of a dream" in Indonesian. nice name... i like her voice and the message of this song... like it very much.. here it is... with the lyrics



SNOW ON THE SAHARA - ANGGUN

Only tell me that you still want me here
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
In that dry white ocean alone

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

But to stand with you in a ring of fire
Ill forget the days gone by
Ill protect your body and guard your soul
From mirages in your sight

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
Ill be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, Ill pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

If thats the only place where you can leave your doubts
Ill hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away, Ill pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders
With veils of silk and gold
When the shadows come and darken your heart
Leaving you with regrets so cold

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
Ill be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, Ill pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

If thats the only place where you can leave your doubts
Ill hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away, Ill pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

d sound

i really love this song... here is the lyrics...

DO I NEED A REASON

Today when I saw you
I knew it was just like the first time
When you met my eyes I came close
And I felt like the first time

To hold back my fear
and feel you so near
I’ve never been this far before
To hold back my fear
and feel you so near
I’m scared of falling into deep this time

Do I need a reason to tell you why
I’m singing you this song
Do I need a reason to show you that
I know where I belong
Whenever I am weary I lean on
this feeling that I have
I am so much stronger now
Thankful, yes I am

Today I’ll renounce them,
the doubts and the fears I’ve been nursing
I’ll fly like a moth to the flame
and I’ll feel like the first time

To hold back my fear
and let you come near
I’ve never been this far before
To hold back my fear
and let you come near
I’m afraid of losing and still I go
