Christopher Cross – Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)

Posted in Lyrics, Music Video, Song Comment tagged , at 4:35 pm by LynxLee

I heard this somewhere in my office’s building and just remembered the good ol’ times. I like the start of the lyrics, here’s my interpretation:

“someone who turns you heart around” – makes yr heart beat good.
“you’re closing down the town” – staying out late until the last business in town closes
“wake up and it’s still with you” – it refers to “the feeling”
“between the moon and New York City” – trapped somewhere and not by anyone at night

Moon and New York City

Staying Up Late Floating in Between Spaces

The song is the theme song of this movie about a poor working girl who gets picked up by a drunken rich guy, who couldn’t manage to take care of himself for ten minutes on his own…if memory serves. They rescue each other. The song itself is simply about being caught somewhere between a dream world…a Cinderella fantasy and the real world…the dirty and ugly and unpleasant real world.
(Mary from Yahoo Answers)

I’ve been staying out late a lot these past few nights, and dare I say that my family has got concerned for a bit. Even my significant other. I know I won’t always get to be out like these. It’s that little appreciation knowing people trust you and love and concern about you. It’s that certain times you know you’re happy.

Once in your life you find her
Someone who turns you heart around and
Next thing you know you’re closing down the town
Wake up and it’s still with you
Even though you left her ‘way cross town
Wondering to yourself, “Hey, what’ve I done”

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
Best that you can do, best that you can do is fall in love

Once in your life you find her
Someone who turns you heart around and
Next thing you know you’re closing down the town
Wake up and it’s still with you
Even though you left her ‘way cross town
Wondering to yourself, “Hey, what’ve I done”

CHORUS:
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
Best that you can do, best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life, he’s masters choices
Deep in his heart, he’s just, he’s just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
Showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be

CHORUS

CHORUS

CHORUS

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it’s crazy
But it’s true

Five For Fighting – This Dance

Posted in Images, Lyrics, Music Video, Personal Post, Song Comment tagged , at 1:53 am by LynxLee

You might recall this group singing the song Superman. This song sounds about the same, so it should sound familiar. Very sweet song.. much like drinking a sweet Korean barley drink. (Don’t quote me). =P

Anyhow, this track has been playing around the Malaysian radios a bunch of times now. Plus, my +1 really like the song; so here ya go sweets! I told ya I’ll find that song for you. =) yes, you put the “beautiful” in my life.

This Dance

May I have this dance?

This is not our favorite song
but the night is moving right along
may I have your hand, may I have this dance.

On matters of clarity
is not secret you are carrying me.
But you disguise thoughts of fall
I will keep you safe.

So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.

This is not our favorite song
but the night is moving right along
may I have your hand, may I have this dance.

I sense that you are amused,
but you just bought those brand new shoes.
It would such a shame not to give us the chance.

And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.

So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.

I know at times that you feel alone
when I’m here and I’m never home.
You said before is the price that you pay.

On matters of clarity
is not secret you are carrying me.
But you disguise thoughts of fall
I will keep you safe.

And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.

So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.

And oh….
oh…oh…

This is not our favorite song
but I wish it go on and on
it’s moments like these
singers do all they can to stop time.

So let me just say to you
before the DJ changes the tune
you put the beautiful in life
you put the beautiful in life.

Lady Antebellum – Need You Now

Posted in Lyrics, Music Video, Song Comment tagged , at 4:50 am by LynxLee

Lady Antebellum rocked the Grammys with such an emotional song. Though the other Grammy performances were better, I simply love this song the most. Let me know what you think. “You know I need you now..”

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone ‘cuz I can’t fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.

Another shot of whiskey, can’t stopping looking at the door.
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I need you now.

Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without.
I just need you now.

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone ‘cuz I can’t fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without.
I just need you now.

Another shot of whiskey, can’t stopping looking at the door.
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I need you now.
Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without.
I just need you now.

Oh whoa
Yes I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn’t call but I’m a little drunk
and I need you now.
Well I don’t know how I can do without.
I just need you now
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.

Liz Phair – Why Can’t I Breathe

Posted in Lyrics, Music Video, Song Comment tagged , at 2:21 am by LynxLee

Gotta love the O.C. This video swims through the beginning of something new and unexpected of Ryan and Taylor. A little Déjà vu here in my life now. Tis’ the tease.. it’s comically addictive.

Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can’t I speak whenever I talk about you
It’s inevitable, it’s a fact that we’re gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you

Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin’ down the street, and I hardly know you
It’s just like we were meant to be

Holding hands with you when we’re out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn’t right
And I’ve got someone waiting too

What if this is just the beginning
We’re already wet, and we’re gonna go swimming

Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can’t I speak whenever I talk about you
It’s inevitable, it’s a fact that we’re gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you

Isn’t this the best part of breakin’ up
Finding someone else you can’t get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too

It’s an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn’t it be beautiful

Here we go, we’re at the beginning
We haven’t fucked yet, but my heads spinning

Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can’t I speak whenever I talk about you
It’s inevitable, it’s a fact that we’re gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you

High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it’s goin’
High enough for you to pull me under
Somethin’s growin’
out of this that we can control
Baby I am dyin’

Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can’t I speak whenever I talk about you

Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can’t I speak whenever I talk about you
It’s inevitable, it’s a fact that we’re gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can’t I breathe whenever I think about you

Nickelback – Never Gonna Be Alone

Posted in Images, Lyrics, Music Video, Personal Post, Song Comment tagged , at 7:28 pm by LynxLee

Ahh.. in love.. tomorrow there will be the sound of the wedding bells. Someone I’m in love with is attending that ceremony.

Just makes me remember this song.. I simply love the lyrics. Many men say that “Marriage is the end”. I’d say, it’s the beginning. It is for me.. and to be frank; I really can’t wait.

I’ll hold you until the hurt is gone

Time is going by
So much faster than I
And I’ve started to regret not telling all of this to you

And now
As long as I can
I’m holding on with both hands
Cuz forever I believe that there’s nothing I could need but you
So if I haven’t yet
I’ve gotta let you know

You’re never gonna be alone
From this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go
I won’t let you fall
You’re never gonna be alone
I’ll hold you until the hurt is gone


Time is going by
So much faster than I
And I’ve started to regret not spending a little with you

Now I’m
Wondering why
I’ve kept this bottled inside
So I’ve started to regret not telling all of it to you

So if I haven’t yet
I’ve gotta let you know

You’re never gonna be alone
From this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go
I won’t let you fall
You’re never gonna be alone
I’ll hold you until the hurt is gone

And now
As long as I can
I’m holding on with both hands
Cuz forever I believe that there’s nothing I could need but you
So if I haven’t yet
I’ve gotta let you know

You’re never gonna be alone
From this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go
I won’t let you fall
When all hope is gone
I know that you can carry on
We’re gonna take the world along
I’ll hold you until the hurt is gone

You gotta live every single day
Like it’s the only one
What if tomorrow never comes
Don’t let it slip away
Could be our only one
You know its only just begun

Every single day
May be our only one
What if tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes

Time is going by
So much faster than I
And I’ve started to regret not telling all of this to you

Your never gonna be alone
From this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go
I won’t let you fall
When all hope is gone
I know that you can carry on
Were gonna take the world along
I’ll hold you until the hurt is gone

I’m gonna be there all the way
I won’t be missing one more day
I’m gonna be there all the way
I won’t be missing one more day

Abba – Take a Chance On Me

Posted in Lyrics, Music Video, Personal Post, Song Comment tagged , at 1:52 pm by LynxLee

Back when Mamma Mia was such a hit, this song hits home to most singles. I never knew the significance of the lyrics until I had shared this with someone special in a car. Gosh, I actually remembered the lyrics to it and didn’t stutter. It goes to show if you mean it, you’d have no problems delivering it. Either that, or you’ve been listening to the song for way too long..

If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down



If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(That’s all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we’re together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
‘Cos you know I’ve got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I’m alone with you
It’s magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can’t let go

If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me
Oh you can take your time baby, I’m in no hurry, know I’m gonna get you
You don’t wanna hurt me, baby don’t worry, I ain’t gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It’s magic
You say that I waste my time but I can’t get you off my mind
No I can’t let go
‘Cos I love you so

If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can’t you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can’t you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me

Cheryl Cole – Fight For This Love

Posted in Images, Lyrics, Music Video, Personal Post tagged , at 9:23 pm by LynxLee

I’ve just had a great weekend vacation to Cherating, Pahang, Malaysia in a beautiful resort called Ruby’s Resort. If anyone wants to have a great “breakaway”; take your time to view the website, place and consider your own Rest and Recreation soon. Below are the view of the beach before the break of dawn.

Ruby's Dawn

Start of the difference

Just know you´re not in this thing alone
There´s always a place in me that you can call home
Whenever you feel like we´re growing apart
Let´s just go back to the start

I don´t know where we´re heading
I´m willing and ready to go
We can´t drive it so fast we just need to slow down
And just roll

Too much of anything can make you sick
Even the good can be a curse curse
Makes it hard to know which road to go down
Knowing too much can get your hurt
Is it better is it worst
Are we sitting in reverse
Its just like we´re going backwards
I know where I want this to go
We´re driving fast but lets go slow
what idont wanna do is crash no

Just know you´re not in this thing alone
There´s always a place in me that you can call home
Whenever you feel like we´re growing apart
Let´s just go back back back back back to the start

Anything that´s worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quitings out of the question
When it gets tough gotta fight some more
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
Its worth having its worth fighting for (Oh)

Now everyday aint gon´ be no picnic
Love aint no walk in the park
All you can do is make the best of it now
Can´t be afraid of the dark

Just know you´re not in this thing alone
There´s always a place in me that you can call home
Whenever you feel like we´re growing apart
Let´s just go back back back back back to the start

Anything that´s worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quitings out of the question
When it gets tough gotta fight some more
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
Its worth having its worth fighting for (Oh)

I don´t know where we´re heading
I´m willing and ready to go
We can´t drive it so fast we just need to slow down
And just roll

Anything that´s worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quitings out of the question
When it gets tough gotta fight some more
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
Its worth having its worth fighting for (Oh)

We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love
Its worth having its worth fighting for (Oh)

Gabe Bondoc – When You Say (Nine)

Posted in Lyrics, Music Video, Song Comment tagged , at 5:25 pm by LynxLee

I’m back to listening to love songs. Is this an awakening? Surely something’s influencing me.
Anyhow, check out this awesome Original from Gabe. (YouTube’s top Favourite today)

when you
when you say
you love
love me
I can feel my heart
beat beat
race behind my chest

I remember the first time
it’s always playing in my mind
I’ve never felt like this before
nononono

and every time that you kiss me
feels like I’m having a sweet dream
and i’mma never feel the way i do with anyone else

my pulse is racing
when I see your face and
here is what you’re doing to me

when you
when you say
you love
love me
I can feel my heart
beat beat
race behind my chest

every time is the first time
so I pretend it’s the last time
that I’mma ever hear you say those words
three little words

I wanna hold you forever
I promise that I ain’t never
never ever gonna let you go
I want you to know

my pulse is racing
when I see your face and
here is what you’re doing to me

[chrous]

if ever you question my feelings
place your hand on my heart, you’ll feel it’s beating for you
cuz he knows, he knew before I did
I’m not scared, I’m tired of hiding
I know that it’s you because

[chorus]

Adam Lambert – Whataya Want From Me

Posted in Lyrics, Music Video, Song Comment tagged at 12:44 am by LynxLee

Funny how these days I just don’t feel like talking to people. Maybe it’s just ’cause I’m sick these few days. Interesting how most people wants to talk to you the most when you don’t really feel like it and when you feel like mixing around, there’s no one to hang out with.

Much like this song here.. You wanna give it all you got, you wanna convince them you’ll be fine and hang on.. but then there are days when it’s a little too much and you start asking “What do you want from me?!?”

Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
What do you want from me



Hey, slow it down
What do you want from me
What do you want from me
Yeah, I’m afraid
What do you want from me
What do you from me

There might have been a time
I would give myself away
(Ooh) Once upon a time
I didn’t give a damn
But now here we are
So what do you want from me
What do you want from me

Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
What do you want from me

Yeah, it’s plain to see
that baby you’re beautiful
And it’s nothing wrong with you
It’s me – I’m a freak
but thanks for lovin’ me
Cause you’re doing it perfectly

There might have been a time
When I would let you step away
I wouldn’t even try but I think
you could save my life

Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me
What do you want from me

Just don’t give up on me
I won’t let you down
No, I won’t let you down

So
Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what do you want from me

Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me
(whataya want from me)
Whataya want from me
whataya want from me

Lifehouse – Halfway Gone

Posted in Images, Lyrics, Music Video, Song Comment tagged at 9:14 pm by LynxLee

Time is always a constraint, isn’t it? Funny how I expect these lyrics from Lifehouse. A little pessimist, but indeed relatable to many.

It's always time!

Don’t take too long, don’t take too long
Cause I’m on my way
If you take too long
Cause I’m halfway gone and I’m on way
And I’m feeling, feelin feelin this way
Cause you’re halfway in but don’t take too long
Cause I’m halfway gone, I’m halfway gone

Wohoww wohoww
Halfway gone
I’m halfway gone

You were always hard to hold
So letting go aint easy
Im hanging on youre growing cold
While my mind is leaving

Talk, talk is cheap
Give me your word you can keep
Cause I’m halfway gone and Im on my way
And Im feeling, feelin feelin this way
Cause youre halfway in but dont take too long
Cause Im halfway gone, Im halfway gone
Wohoww wohoww
Halfway gone
I’m halfway gone

You got one foot out the door
And choking on the other
Always think youre something more
Is just around the corner

Talk, talk is cheap
Give me your word you can keep
You can keep
Cause I’m halfway gone and Im on my way
And Im feeling, feelin feelin this way
Cause youre halfway in but dont take too long
Cause Im halfway gone, Im halfway gone

If you want me out, then Im on my way
And Im feelin, feelin feelin this way
Cause youre halfway in, but dont take too long
Cause Im halfway gone, Im halfway gone
Wohoww wohoww
Im halfway gone, Im halfway gone
Wohoww wohoww
Now Im halfway gone, Im halfway gone

Dont take too long, dont take too long
Wohoww wohoww
Cause Im on my way
If you take too long
Wohoww wohoww
Cause Im halfway gone and Im on way
And Im feeling, feelin feelin this way
Cause youre halfway in but dont take too long
Cause Im halfway gone, Im halfway gone

If you want me out, then Im on my way
And Im feelin , feelin feelin this way
Cause youre halfway in, but dont take too long
Cause Im halfway gone, Im halfway gone
Wohoww wohoww
Cause Im halfway gone, yeah Im halfway gone
Wohoww wohoww
Cause Im halfway gone, yeah Im halfway gone
