What I think or feel about the things around me and about life and the world (in general)...
My musings
This includes reviews, tips and fixes, rants, frustrations, complaints, achievements, thoughts, experiences, etc and sometimes, a sneak peek on what I'm up to - my next 'big' project!
Since this is an original and that the title of the song isn't mentioned, I can only guess what the song title is... and my guess is "My Hero". With my abysmal track record of guessing song titles, I probably didn't get it right though.
Lyrics:
Who's always there when I need you
Saving every day
Who always comes to my rescue
Whenever I'm afraid
Who's the one who truly loves me
Like no one else in the world
You'll always be my hero
Forever I'll be yours
I'll hide behind your cape
And then we'll fly away
If trouble ever comes knocking
You're the one I look up to
How could I fill your shoes
Following the footsteps you walk in
Someday when I get older
You'll walk me down that aisle
There might be a ring on my finger
But I'll still be wearing your smile
Not a soul could ever replace you
That's the one thing I know for sure
You'll always be my hero
Forever I'll be yours
P/S: I did all of this by ear and there might be some mistakes. I'm pretty confident that I got most of the lyrics right though!
One of the best "war music" around... and I'm not even a LoL player! :)
Lyrics:
What are you willing to lose?
You cover your wounds, but underneath them
A million voices in your head that whisper, "Stop, now"
Another twist of the knife, turn of the screws
It's all in your mind and it's fighting you
Arm yourself, a storm is coming
Well, kid, what you gonna do now?
It's your reflection looking back to pull you down
So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
You gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly
Fly, phoenix, fly
It's time for a new empire
Go bury your demons then tear down the ceiling
Phoenix, fly
And now you're playing with matches
Come out of the ashes underneath you
A million voices in the crowd they're screaming, "Stop, now"
We'll let 'em swallow their pride, you're turning the tide to true believers
Got them in the palm of your hand, you're playing God now
What you gonna do now?
It's your reflection looking back to pull you down
So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
You gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly
Fly, phoenix, fly
It's time for a new empire
Go bury your demons then tear down the ceiling
Phoenix, fly
So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
You gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly
Fly, phoenix, fly
It's time for a new empire
Go bury your demons then tear down the ceiling
Phoenix, fly
Fantastic voice, fantastic lyrics (she wrote the song herself) and the fact that she's an ang mo who can sing in Chinese much better than I could... well, that's just an extra bonus :P Enjoy!

"When I first heard this, my mind was blown - She has an incredible voice and that voice wobble is done so perfectly! Finding out she's ang mo (a foreigner) and the backstory behind this song only make this song so much better!" S.Y.
Meaning:
The song is set in winter hence the starting of the song describes, so eloquently I might add, the scenery. Then the chorus hits and she sings about the indecision of sticking around and waiting "under the snow-covered tree" or moving on with her life; whether to "hide under the warm blanket" or "head out and face the bitter cold".
One day, in the cold quiet winter, she heard the sounds of footsteps (as you would when walking in snow) and a voice calling out in the distance. And there he was. As he walks closer, his presence warms her chilly heart.
She then (kind of) chatize the guy, singing that he said his love for her will never change, but you made me wait... wait for so long. And suddenly you appear, but it's just for a brief moment.
"Probably not my best work but I'm rather drowsy now - it's late here. I'll work to improve this tmr"
And their comeback single is soooooooo catchy :D Enjoy!
Lyrics:
No one knows 'bout the things that I've been through with you
There were times I drive you nearly mental
But when you're mad, you're still beautiful
And I know that I'm punching way above
So lucky that we fell in love
Sometimes I wonder am I enough?
'Cause you could have someone without a belly or a temper
Perfect teeth, hair growing where it's meant to
You know my lips are all I can hold against ya
This is all that I'll ever need, you and I
Hello, my love
I've been searching for someone like you
For most my life
Happiness ain't a thing I'm used to
You could have fallen hard for anyone
Plenty of fish in the sea, hey now
For all of time, now I know
It's just my angel and me
No one knows 'bout all the good things you do
When people take advantage of you
Your heart is pure and so beautiful
And I know that it's just the way you are
Father's eyes, but mother's daughter
And you tell me that you don't give enough
And now I found someone with all the boxes that I want ticked
'Cause your love is all I ever wanted
Set my heart on fire, I needed something
This is all I wanted to be, you and I
Hello, my love
I've been searching for someone like you
For most my life
Happiness ain't a thing I'm used to
You could have fallen hard for anyone
Plenty of fish in the sea, hey now
For all of time, now I know
It's just my angel and me
'Cause you could have someone without a belly or a temper
Perfect teeth, hair growing where it's meant to
You know my lips are all I can hold against you
This is all that I'll ever need, you and I... you and I.......
Hello, my love
I've been searching for someone like you
For most my life
Happiness ain't a thing I'm used to
You could have fallen hard for anyone (Anyone)
Plenty of fish in the sea, hey now
For all of time, now I know
It's just my angel and me
"Incredibly catchy song... this is a solid comeback! Btw, why this song isn't called "My Angel and Me"? :P" - S.Y.
Tryon - Come Kiss Me Lyrics:
A thousand nights I've prayed for this to happen
And a thousand angels led me here to you
So many nights I've dreamt about this moment, and
Looking at you looks like they're coming true...
Everybody waits to get to heaven, but
Seeing you in white, it looks like heaven came to me
I've never been so confident in anything, girl
Standing here is where I'm meant to be, in love...
Girl, I'm so in love
And, look at us now
Look what we've become
I know from the day we met that you were the one
I can't see the future but I promise my bride
No matter what comes I'll be by your side
Girl, we're one step away from complete
Baby, come kiss me
Hey,
Girl, I've never doubted for a second, no..
Even when we felt the world against me and you
And here we stand together now, proof that it's real
The fairytale of us is coming true, after all
Ooohhh, love wins after all
And look at us now
Look what we've become
I know from the day we met that you were the one
I can't see the future but I promise my bride
No matter what comes I'll be by your side
Girl, we're one step away from complete
Baby, come kiss me
And, look at us now
Look what we've become
I know from the day we met that you were the one
I can't see the future but I promise my bride
No matter what comes I'll be by your side
Girl, we're one step away from complete
Baby, come kiss me
"A very beautiful ode to love; brings tears to my eye :)" - S.Y.
This is a song that I would very much like to dedicate to a girl that I just know who is in a one-sided relationship. Be courageous, stand up, and go... don't hold on in hopes of getting your love reciprocated.
This is also dedicated to those ladies out there who are in toxic/bad relationships.
Lyrics:
Little change of the heart
Little light in the dark
Little hope that you just might find
Your way up out of here
'Cause you've been hiding for days
Wasted and wasting away
But I got a little hope today
You'll face your fears
Yeah, I know it's not easy
I know that it's hard
Follow the lights to the city
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Don't look back; just go
Take a breath, move along
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
You could spend your whole life holding on
Believe the tunnel can end
Believe your body can mend
Yeah, I know you can make it through
'Cause I believe in you
So let's go put up a fight
Let's go make everything all right
Go on take a shot
Go give it all you got
Oh, yeah, I know it's not easy
I know that it's hard
No, it's not always pretty
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Don't look back; just go
Take a breath, move along
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
You could spend your whole life holding on
Don't wanna wake up to the telephone ring
Are you sitting down?
I need to tell you something
Enough is enough
You can stop waiting to breathe
And don't wait up for me
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Don't look back; just go
Take a breath, move along
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Don't look back; just go
Take a breath, move along
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
You could spend your whole life holding on
Don't spend your whole life holding on
P/S: I know the timing of this post is very unfortunate, but I have just rediscovered this song and thought it was perfect for this girl that I know. Anyway, she'll probably never see this... so what the heck, right?
Lyrics:
Words are fallin'
Like glass they have broken over you
And I'm in between
The disappointments for many things I hoped for
It's painful now to watch it
As we bleed...
And all I had was your love and that was good enough, and
All I wanted was your arms to lift me high
All I need is you to hold my hand
While I'm doing the best I can
I have stumbled
Mistakes have left us crumbling
Falling from each other, piece by piece
You have shown me
Stand my ground when I believe
And I believe that you've got to see
And all I had was your love and that was good enough, and
All I wanted was your arms to lift me high
All I need is you to hold my hand
While I'm doing the best I can
I remember looking up and waiting for your smile
Tugging at your arms to ask you if you'd stay awhile
Time have changed and we have said
Things that we won't regret
And I don't want to let your talk hurt you yet
And all I had was your love and that was good enough, and
All I wanted was your arms to lift me high
All I need is you to hold my hand
While I'm doing the best I can
Ohh while I'm doing... the best I can
****I've italicized the part that I'm pretty sure is incorrect. Sorry, I did my best. Enjoy the song though!
This lyrics is easy enough to read (for a person with half-baked Mandarin like me) but well, I've decided to add in the pinyin for those who are struggling with some of the tougher words (like me) :P
Anyway, I'll see if I can get the time to actually translate the meaning of the song into English, but until then, enjoy! :)
Lyrics:
是不是 还那么爱迟到
Shì bù shì hái nà me ài chí dào
熬夜工作又睡不好
Áo yè gōng zuò yòu shuì bù hǎo
等你 完成你的目标
Děng nǐ wán chéng nǐ de mù biāo
要戒掉逞强的嗜好
Yào jiè diào chěng qiáng de shì hào
I've never been
So sure of anything
You're next to me
I finally feel complete
I know for sure
You're all I'll ever need
And I'll never stop..
Loving you more with each breath that you take
This promise that I never will break
For you.....
You're not the one
Coz you don't wanna be
I might have chosen you
But you chose differently
You might make me feel whole
I don't make you complete
I will grow old with you
But you've grown tired of me
You're not the one
Coz you don't wanna be
So I'll let you go
As hard as it is for me
I'll never know
This was supposed to be
If you're ever alone
I hope that you think of me
Coz I'll never stop...
Loving you more with each breath that I take
This feeling inside never changed
For you....
But you're not the one
Coz you don't wanna be
I might have chosen you
But you chose differently
You might make me feel whole
But I don't make you complete
I will grow old with you
But you've grown tired of me
You're not the one
Coz you don't wanna be
If you ever feel the way that I do
I hope that it feels the same way too
Coz I only want
What is best for you
And I hope he gets on one knee
Just wishing it could have been me
You're not the one
Coz you don't wanna be
I might have chosen you
But you chose differently
You might make me feel whole
But I don't make you complete
I will grow old with you
But you've grown tired of me
You're not the one
Coz you don't wanna be
"One of the easiest lyrics to transcribe so far :)" - S.Y.
I've translated the "old Mandarin" most lyrics websites provide into simplified Mandarin and coupled it with pinyin (My Mandarin unfortunately sucks, hence the need for pinyin hehe). Enjoy! :)
It's a long way home,
When you're on your own,
And your only friends are the traffic lights,
Speaking in morse code,
(Yea) The road is long,
And I am tired,
But with you on my horizon,
I will drive until it all breaks down
'Cause I can't breathe without you near,
You keep me safe,
You keep me sane,
You keep me honest,
You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight,
Chasing tomorrow,
With fire in my eyes, (yea)
You're like a siren in the dark,
You're the beat playing in my heart,
You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight, (yea)
Spent my whole damn life,
Trying to get things right,
And for every one of my mistakes,
You gave me all these chances,
When the road's too long,
And I am tired,
You are my horizon,
And I'll drive until it all breaks down,
You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight,
Chasing tomorrow,
With fire in my eyes, (yea)
You're like a siren in the dark,
You're the beat playing in my heart,
You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight, (yea)
(You keep me safe,
You keep me sane,
You keep me honest, honest, honest, oh woah
You keep me safe,
You keep me sane,
You keep me honest)
You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight,
Chasing tomorrow,
With fire in my eyes, (yea)
You're like a siren in the dark, [siren in the dark]
You're the beat playing in my heart,
You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight, (yea)
We're on the edge of tonight
Edge of tonight
You keep me safe,
You keep me sane,
You keep me honest, honest, honest (standing on the edge of tonight)
On the edge of tonight
On the edge of tonight
On the edge of tonight
Lyrics:
In the dark there's a light that's calling everyone out
If you could see beyond the walls that you have built
I know it's hard to escape the past and start it again
Those memories of all the future hearts you killed
I don't wanna be the one that's left behind
Don't blame me, don't hate me
I don't wanna be the one that's left behind
I won't fade away
Be forgotten or just cast away
This life is mine to live (this life is mine to live)
I won't fade away
I am lost inside this endless haze of life
But this life is mine to live
Waking up just to catch yourself dreaming again
But you won't think outside the lines that hold you in
You say it's easier just to hide yourself away
To shut the windows, lock the doors and disappear
I don't wanna be the one that's left behind
Don't blame me, don't hate me
I don't wanna be the one that's left behind
I won't fade away
Be forgotten or just cast away
This life is mine to live (this life is mine to live)
I won't fade away
I am lost inside this endless haze of life
But this life is mine to live
We got scars on our future hearts
But we never looked back
No, we never looked back
We got scars on our future hearts
But we never looked back
No, we never looked back
We got scars on our future hearts
But we never looked back
No, we never looked back
We got scars on our future hearts
But we never looked back
No, we never looked back
I don't wanna be the one that's left behind
Don't blame me, don't hate me
I don't wanna be the one that's left behind
I won't fade away
Be forgotten or just cast away
This life is mine to live (this life is mine to live)
I won't fade away
I am lost inside this endless haze of life
But this life is mine to live
I won't fade away
Be forgotten or just cast away
This life is mine to live
I won't fade away
I am lost inside this endless haze of life
But this life is mine to live
We got scars on our future hearts
But we never looked back
No, we never looked back
We got scars on our future hearts
But we never looked back
No, we never looked back
That guitar in the background is so catchy :D and the chorus is just epic!
Lyrics:
The girl with the cinderblock garden
The girl with the cinderblock garden
Wait,
I think we're onto something,
We can't run from fate,
But we can let it take us down,
Down this road,
Where all our colors run together,
Let's take the worst and make it better,
Let's take this mess and make a home
I know it gets hard for you to stay,
But do you really want to throw it all away?
I'm thinkin'
That we could make forever after all,
Finding the gold in our darkest moments,
Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses,
And we don't ever have to leave these walls,
I'll be the boy with the silver lining,
You'll be the girl with the cinderblock garden
The girl with the cinderblock garden
The girl with the cinderblock garden
Tonight,
Take all the ghosts and all those skeletons,
You hide,
Bury them deep beneath the ground,
Let them rest,
'Cause you weren't meant to bear that burden,
Look at the roses in your garden,
You can breathe now and forget
Forget it gets hard for you to stay,
But we don't really have to throw it all away
I'm thinkin'
That we could make forever after all,
Finding the gold in our darkest moments,
Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses,
And we don't ever have to leave these walls,
I'll be the boy with the silver lining,
You'll be the girl with the cinderblock garden
Just hold out for tomorrow,
Our dreams will follow,
Follow us back to when,
When nothing was broken,
The future was open,
Let's go back again,
Let's go again...
That we could make forever after all,
Finding the gold in our darkest moments,
Watching the roads turning into white roses, roses,
And we don't ever have to leave these walls,
I'll be the boy with the silver lining,
You'll be the girl with the cinderblock garden
The girl with the cinderblock garden
The girl with the cinderblock garden
The girl with the cinderblock garden
The girl with the cinderblock garden
Simple Plan's one of the few bands/ singers who can make numbers sounds catchy in a song :P
Though, I find the video a bit dull, to be honest. Would have been better if they put in video snippets of their tour or something... like the video for The Rest of Us
Lyrics:
It's just another Monday
I'm just another face in a face-less crowd
I'm going down one-way
Caught up in the machine
And I'm spit right out
I'm living in a rat race
I'm looking for my soul in the lost-and-found
I'm sitting in the same spot
Counting every tic, toc
Gotta hit the punch clock
When's it gonna stop-stop?
Another day in black and white
One, two, three, four, five
Another week goes by
I'm half alive
I'm getting sick
I'm faking this
I'm over it
Don't wanna wear those suit and tie
Gotta live before I die
So I'm done, done, done
With this ordinary life
What happened to the someday?
What happened to the dreams of the wide-eyed kid?
Don't tell me that it's too late
Don't tell me that I can't cause you never did
I'm sitting in the same spot
Counting every tic, toc
Gotta hit the punch clock
When's it gonna stop-stop?
Another day in black and white
I gotta quit this ordinary life
One, two, three, four, five
Another week goes by
I'm half alive
I'm getting sick
I'm faking this
I'm over it
Don't wanna wear those suit and tie
Gotta live before I die
So I'm done, done, done
With this ordinary life
I don't wanna wake up
With my best years behind me
I don't wanna wake up
With my best years behind me
I don't wanna wake up
With my best years behind me
I think I better wake up
Before my life's behind me
Whoa
One, two, three, four, five
Another week goes by
I'm half alive
I'm getting sick
I'm faking this
I'm over it
Don't wanna wear those suit and tie
Gotta live before I die
So I'm done, done, done
With this ordinary life
One, two, three, four, five
No more ordinary life
One, two, three, four, five
I gotta wake up, wake up.
One, two, three, four, five
No more ordinary life
I'm done, done, done with this ordinary
This whole thing is temporary
Done, done, done with this ordinary life
