tell me about it

I believe you are the answer to every tear I’ve cried
I believe that you are with me,
My rising and my light.

Give me strength when I am weary
Give me hope when I can’t see
Through the crosses I must carry
Lord, bind my heart to thee

That when all my days are over
and all my chores are done,
I may see your risen Glory
Forever where You are.

-Melody from Gustav Holst’s The Planets Op.32 Jupiter :)

If I am lost for a day; try to find me
But if I don’t come back, then I won’t look behind me
All of the things that I thought were so easy
Just got harder and harder each day
December is darkest and June is the light
but this empty bedroom won’t make anything right
While out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home
Who waits up for me all through the night

Calendar girl who’s in love with the world
Stay alive
Calendar Girl who’s in love with the world
Stay alive

I dreamed I was dying; as I so often do
And when I awoke I was sure it was true
I ran to the window; threw my head to the sky
And said “Whoever is up there, please don’t let me die”
But I can’t live forever, I can’t always be
One day I’ll be sand on a beach by a sea
The pages keep turning, I’ll mark off each day with a cross
And I’ll laugh about all that we’ve lost

Calendar Girl who is lost to the world
Stay Alive
Calendar Girl who is lost to the world
Stay Alive

January, February, March, April, May I’m alive
June, July, August, September,October I’m alive
November, December, you all through the winter, I’m alive
I’m alive

Wouldn’t it be nice? :)

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
And wouldn’t it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know it’s gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we’ve been spending
I wish that every kiss was never-ending
Wouldn’t it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn’t be a single thing we couldn’t do
We could be married
And then we’d be happy

Wouldn’t it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let’s talk about it
Wouldn’t it be nice

Good night my baby
Sleep tight my baby

She’s Asian. She’s hot. She can sing. She writes her own music.

And most importantly - her rendition of “Umbrella” rendered the song acceptable and singable.

Gasp.

And her name is Marie Digby. Sighhhh. I’ve had this thing for femme singers in the last few months, what with Imogen Heap and Feist and Colbie Caillat and now Marie.

WHY CAN’T I BUY SONGS ON ITUNES WHY!

I’ve been awake for a while now
You’ve got me feelin’ like a child now
‘Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place

And it starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way
I just mmmmm

I’ve been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
‘Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I’m comfortable enough to feel your warmth

And it starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
’cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin’ me tight

Wherever wherever wherever you go
Wherever wherever wherever you go

wherever you go
I always know
‘Cause you make me smile
Even just for a while

For all those friends (especially Liang Kai*xin) who wanted the complete 881 soundtrack.

Uploaded it on my Multiply just for you and you and you (you’re gonna loooove me)!

Extra points for those who recognize the reference :P

*love*

放开你的手
不管等多久
失败是成功之母
我们不怕苦
找得到路

放开你的手
送你到最后
你的泪在我的胸口
不管等多久
无所求

Goosebumps.

This girl sounds JUST like Christina did at her age. Man, the vocal cords on this one.

Simply amazing. I can’t believe she got third place. You know who she lost to? This pretty-boy called Sam Concepcion whose main draw is his sweet face, because his singing reminds you of that frontman from 911. Bloody annoying.

P.S. I heart YouTube!

I can’t wait to be with you
No I just can’t sit still,
Are we there yet?
Takes me back, I remember
Such a magical place
It was all you

Closing in
I hope that we make it
Closing in
I hope that we find our way

Frame by frame, red speed ahead
A city dissolving,
The threat of our love in the headlights
Is it safe now?
Will your arms be open?
I just have to kiss you,
Try and stop me

Closing in
I hope that we make it
Closing in
I hope that we find our way
Closing in
It’s all that I want in the whole world
Closing in
Please be there, please be there

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there’s no-one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere else to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
