Lonely...

...and it just came out
the urge of letting it go from inside the mouth
to sing a song alone, silently...
realizing how lonely it is this life

Jazz Bar



Imagining sitting at the corner of jazz bar watching live performance of this song while a pleasant looking waiter serves your drinks with remarkable grace and politeness. I would ask him to accompany me throughout the nocturnal night and listening the song again and again.

Secret Admirer

We meet again while I'm still merely recover
Even just a second our eyes meet...
I know...
You're nervous
and so do I
I don't know what inside your mind...
what you've been thinking all this while
I can't keep on running away...
even though I'd decided its my only choice now

Maybe, when I have a stronger confident
I try to be honest...
Even though its just a smile

Showing line of bright white beautiful teeth...
Behind cupid bow shaped lips

Trijntje Oosterhuis - Fragile



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 SEE
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

Artist(Band):Sting & Police

The music within you


DO... I have decided to do something different
RE... With only a pinch of knowledge, I look forward to learn something new
MI... Just like a child, learn how to walk
FA... And began to run
SO... Stop for a while to take breathe, absorbing the nutrient
LA... I understand, I have achieve it
TI... Grab everything and embrace the warm
DO... With a newly voice of confident

There's a hero lies in you

Mariah Carey - Hero
X Factor 2008



Mariah Carey - Hero
1995 (I think so)


Pity to Mariah since she struggling to sing her own song and nearly killed a song that use to be her hits in the 90's. I really hope she take some rest and start coaching back her voice. Its still there but lost the agility and the flexibility of her prime age. But even with her current voice and its limitation, people will still remember for what she has introduce and create, a benchmark in music industries, the voice thats once known to be the greatest in the world and a her career that become legend.

p.s: Mariah co-wrote her song, that what I respect her the most.

Science vs Religion

Tengah browsing video kat Youtube and stumble 2 videos that becoming hot debate between Muslim and penganut agama lain plus some people who doesn't believe with religion. The first video is a video about the greatness of Azan. Video memberitahu bahawa Azan tak pernah berhenti dilaungkan di seluruh dunia. Because of the different time zone. Meaning Azan dilaungkan silih berganti di setiap negeri, negara, benua mengikut waktu solat kawasan tersebut. Kitaran ini berlaku sepanjang tempoh 24 jam non-stop. Then come this one viewer that kept on provoking people with his "sensitive" question. And I guess he was an Atheists because he keep saying that he didn't believe in any religion or the existent of God. Ok, fine that his problem. But the real deal is this fellas insulting Azan by saying its cause sound pollution on earth, Azan is a screaming, disturbing people sleep etc etc. Sure I'm really pissed off and other viewer also enrage by this person comment. Plus he act like he so high and intelligent to an extend of condemning other religion in the world. This person heart already blackened and rotten by his own believe and its beyond repair. By pushing people patient with question like:

1) Proof that God is real and not an Illusion.
2) Al-Quran is the word from God and not human.
3) Proof that Al-Quran is not copy from other holy books.
4) Why Azan need to be repeat 5 times a day? Why can't Muslim remember the praying time and do it without need to Azan. (He even describe Muslim as a people that need to be reminded countless time to do something)
5) Proof that we came from Adam and Hawa(Eve) and not from Charles Darwin theory of ape>human evolution.

Yet again even with many people already reply his question with an accurate answer, he still not satisfied plus asking more ridiculous question. My assumption is this person want people to say he was right and Islam and other religion are wrong. No, the one that wrong from the beginning is him. Not believing the existent of God is wrong. It same like you denied your own existent in this world. Ok he can say its mother nature and its a natural cycle. But then who create the mother nature and govern the cycle of life? Its God Almighty.

You said Muslim is like a beggar because we beg to God 5 times a day during our pray. This shows how small your capability to think. Solat is not about begging but a responsibilities to each Muslim to show respect to their creator and asking for forgiveness for the sins they had committed.

You say why not Muslim people devoted our time 24/7 to God and why must only 5 times a day. In Islam, all the thing that doesn't go against our religion are Ibadah. From doing work at the office till we go to sleep, its all ibadah. Its shown that our devotion toward Allah not only through pray but also through our everyday act.

I just don't know what this kind of person believe in. If a scientific answer he seek then I don't have the answer because science is limited only toward logic and reality, not beyond that.

Lara Fabian - Horchat hai caliptus

Lara Fabian - Horchat hai caliptus (Live- Herodion, Athens)




I don't understand a single word she sang plus I didn't learn any Hebrew in my entire life. But when she sang it, I can feel what I consider as the spirit and soul of the of the song pouring out from Lara voice and performance. She didn't sang it for the sake of singing...but she deliver it...a universal message that everyone doesn't need to understand but can interpret it by listening attentively. This what I consider as TRUE and GENUINE artist. Every aspect they do when performing a piece of music or song...will effected the entire song. And Lara is an expert in this area.

p/s: Glad that her powerful and majestic voice has return. Look forward for her new Multilingual album release end of this year.. Hehehehe...

Oldies fever

Menaruh Harapan - Zaiton Sameon



Tak penah tau pon Kak Eton yg nyanyi lagu nie. Skang baru tau saper disebalik suara yg power time 80-an dulu. Lagu nie dah bersama ngan aku sejak aku blom masuk tadika lagi. Memang EVERGREEN. Tapi sedih biler bacer balik sejarah hitam Kak Eton yg terlibat ngan kemalangan awal 90-an dulu. Mangsa yg terlibat termasuk anak lelaki dia yg umur masa tue 6 tahun. Lagu nie pon kebetulan cam menceritakan penderitaan Kak Eton selepas pulih dari hilang ingatan selama 10 tahun. Semoga Kak Eton kuatkan semangat menghadapi perjalanan hidup yg penuh cabaran dan liku.

Aoi Teshima - The Rose



Soothing and beautiful cover of Bette Midler song. I have a huge fondness over Aoi Teshima voice after first time known her while watching Ghibli Studio Gedo Senki (Tales from Earthsea). And she is a beautiful girl with long hair...an aspect that makes me even more love her. <3

Strange Fruit - Nina Simone



By far...the most depressing song I ever heard. Nina Simone voice makes the song more depth and poignant. First time listen to the song I just sit quietly and watch the video...I just can't imagine how sad and depressing it is.

Lyric:

Seven trees
Bearin strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
And blood at the roots
Black bodies
Swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin
From the poplar trees
Pastoral scene
Of the gallant south
Them big bulging eyes
And the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolia
Clean and fresh
Then the sudden smell
Of burnin flesh
Here is a fruit
For the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the leaves to drop
Here is
Strange and bitter crop

Original sang by: Billie Holiday

Listen to..

Those who still wonder what kind of artist that I always listen to, here the list. I'm sure you guys might not really recognize this artist since they're not really popular, especially in American music industry. But if you really appreciate gifted talent, marvelous voice, good quality music then I recommend you to try listen to their music, or maybe watch their live performance in Youtube.

Lara Fabian
Comment: People keep on comparing her with Celine Dion. No. She not Celine wannabe. Her voice is different. Maybe the style is a bit similar since she also a power belter. But Celine has this trademark of nasal sound when she sing while Lara use her very soft full voice. The biggest different are when the belt those high notes. Celine sound sharp, strong and piercing while Lara are more full, rounded and majestic. And not to forget that Celine is Lyric Soprano while Lara has a voice that crosses between Coloratura Soprano and Mezzo Soprano. So she doesn't sing a song with the same voice type but rather mix it up with many kind of voice play. Her skilled voice technique in my opinion is by far among the best. That can be heard inside most of her song(90% written by her). And for sure not many...actually very few people had the courage to sing her song coz of it complicated and sky high note., not to mention you need to sustain it about 10 - 15 second. Really need to put a lot of stomach work. For example, many people already cover Celine "My Heart Will Go On" or "All by myself", but...how many dare to sing Lara "Adagio" and "You Not From Here"...or even topple Lara version of "Caruso"? I dunno. Ohh...one more thing, she speak like 4 Language fluently but can sing in 5 different language plus she extremely intelligence.

Loreena McKennitt
Comment: I know Loreena not more then 3 years I think. At first I didn't like much of her song and voice when my friends promote her to me. To much anime ost really can reduce the mentality of interpreting good quality song. But then, I lost interest to all this anime soundtrack(except for very good one)..I become to liking her music and voice more. The Celtic element inside her song is so pure and down to it root. As if I can imagine the story inside the lyric and song...traveling beyond space and time. I know people will compare her with Enya, but Enya is Enya and Loreena is Loreena. Yes...Enya sold her album far more than Loreena but Loreena wins hands down for her voice and live performance.

Rachelle Ferrell
Comment: This is one crazy and outstanding Jazz/R&B artist. Why I'm saying that? See her live performance video first in Youtube then you know. She 's not widely known to American country but popular in European. Her very....VERY wide mouth, impressive vocal technique and vowel control is out of this world. From very soft...to very loud and goes extremely high whistle note. I just like...woaahh. My hair is standing. Shes a professional pianist, play the piano like put all her soul into it. What I salute is her free style. She didn't constraint herself to the flow of fashion. Its so original and free. About her vocal, she has like 6 octave range. Can do the whistling thing with ease and she can hold the note so long that it hurt my vocal chord. Her music style is very jazzy and slow but fantastic. More spectacular during live performance.

Bryan Adams - Everything I Do

At the age of 48, he still maintain that voice, and for sure still can melt a girl/women heart with that looks especially the eyes. This song brings me back to my old school days. That glorious childhood memories.



p/s: I will sing this song to my special someone, when I found that person in the future. Promise.
