Kokoro no Uta

I WILL LIFT MY EYES
Written by Bebo Norman and Jason Ingram


God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now
God, be near, calm my fear
And take my doubt

*Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

**I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

God, my God, let Mercy sing
Her melody over me
God, right here all I bring
Is all of me

*
**

‘Cause You are and You were and You will be forever
The Lover I need to save me
‘Cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God
So hold me now

 

 

I have no one to run to but God alone. And there's nothing left but seek His love and comfort. This song speaks so much of what I am going through..
 
 
 
 
Now playing:
I Will Lift My Eyes
Winter Sleep

Music sings for me.

bb2c3561d86989d55bc4914000194bc7.jpg
The songs I am listening to lately speak about me. In a sense. They are like the songs I have always wanted to sing. They speak about my story, my thoughts, and what I am going through. It is amusing.
 
These songs save me from shedding a tear. I don't want to blog out what I have in mind. It feels troublesome doing so lately. I have discussed the matter with a friend though. Thank you, Joseph. And thank you for the advice. I might consider it, having two people now who give me such advice. It's reasonable.
 
It's raining. It is raining hard. And I want to sleep. I want to go through deep sleep. I don't want to go to school. Bleh.

Alipin

There are songs that whenever get aired on radio or wherever remind of some things, place, events, and people. Alipin by Shamrock is one of those songs. It reminds me of Jewel in the Palace or Dae JangGeum. Alipin also reminds me of a good friend.
 
It was during lunch yesterday when the carinderia where I ate was tuned to a radio playing Alipin. I was listening intently. Then there was a line in the song that hit me. XD
 
 
ALIPIN
~Shamrock
 
Di ko man maamin
Ikaw ay mahalaga sa akin
Di ko man maisip
Sa pagtulog ikaw ang panaginip
Malabo man ang aking pag-iisip
Sana'y pakinggan mo ang sigaw nitong damdamin

[chorus:]
Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana at iyong nariring
Sa'yong yakap ako'y nasasabik...

Ayoko sa iba
Sa'yo ako ay hindi magsasawa
Ano man ang iyong sabihin
Umasa ka ito ay diringgin
Madalas man na parang aso't pusa
Giliw sa piling mo ako ay masaya

[chorus:]
Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana at iyong nariring
Sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik...

[coda:]
Pilit mang abutin ang mga tala
Basta't sa akin 'wag kang mawawala

Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana ay iyong naririnig
Sayong yakap ako'nais makatabi
Malamig man o mainit ang gabi
Nais ko sana iparating na ikaw lamang
Ang siyang aking iibigin 
 
 
 
 
I so love this song. n_n
 
 
*sings*
Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana at iyong naririnig
Sa'yong mga yakap ako'y nasasabik

Reassurance

120589f1edbf2712701b081679406ac7.gifI'm becoming fond of two songs from Barlow Girl- Never Alone and I Need You to Love Me. These two songs remind me of God, so much, and someone who reminds me of God. So, everything leads to God. Cool, ne. =)
 
This day is, slowly, giving me little revelations about my life and with what I wanted with it. But it's just the beginning so I have to rise up and live.
 
 
NEVER ALONE
 
I waited for you today
But you didn't show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?

I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone

And though I cannot see You
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life

We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

 I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone
 
We cannot separate
You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
 
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone
 
 
This song describes me so much. I'm liking it, I'm loving it. It's edifying, giving me hope.
 
 
I NEED YOU TO LOVE ME
 
Why, why are You still here with me
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You

But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me

I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how You could cherish me
'Cause You're a God who has all things
And still You want me

Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been
 
 
This song reminds me so much of someone who reminds me of God. =p This song makes me smile to God and wink about a secret we share. ^__^

The Corrs galore

These are all The Corrs song.

 

LEAVE ME ALONE 

I'm alone, hiding in the dark
I'm looking for a life
To come and rescue me
I sleep, I rise
Hear your denies
Endlessly inside
It's crazy but

(sometimes I feel like)
I wanna' to run away
(sometimes I feel like)
I've gotta' get away
(One day you will see)
Another side of me
(My life I command)
It's not the way that you planned

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Out on my own (out on my own)
Leave me alone

What do you want from me
Do you dream of a life
Your life through me
Myself, my time
In one we unite
I don't ever want to be
That girl you want it to be

(Sometimes I feel like)
I wanna' to run away
(Sometimes I feel like)
I've gotta' get away
(One day you will see)
Another side of me
(My life I command)
It's not the way that you planned

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Out on my own (out on my own)
Leave me alone, yeah.....

(One day you will see)
Another side of me
My life I command
It's not the way
It's not the way that you planned

Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Out on my own (out on my own)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Out on my own (out on my own)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Out on my own (out on my own)
Leave me alone

 

HOPELESSLY ADDICTED

Opened my eyes today
And I knew there's something different
Saw you in a brand new way
Like the clouds had somehow lifted
And if yesterday I heard
Myself saying these words
I would swear it was a lie

I don't know why..., but suddenly I'm falling
(na na na, na na na na na)
Was I so blind...
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted

I'll make a wish this day
And I'll send it to the heavens
That we will always stay
Entwined like this forever
And though the world may change
Coz nothing stays the same
I know we will survive

I don't know why..., but suddenly I'm falling
(na na na, na na na na na)
Was I so blind...
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Naturally we acted

I don't know why..., but suddenly I'm falling
(na na na, na na na na na)
I was so blind...
I was loving you all the time
And now I'm
Hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
(na na na, na na na na na)
Chemically reacted
I was loving you all the time
Hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Chemically reacted
Naturally we acted
Yeah, Ohh...

 

GIVE ME A REASON

Give me a reason... (Give me a reason... Give me a reason...)

It's not romantic here in blue
Swimming, swimming in blue
You left me lonely and confused
Question, questioning you
So soon goodbye you stole my heart
I'm believing you
Was it a lie right from the start
Answer, answer me do...

Well now my body's weak - so just give me a reason
And my make-up's off - so just give me a reason
And my defense's down - so just give me a reason
Give me a reason
Give me a reason

You'll never know the love I felt
Waiting, waiting for you
It takes a weak heart to forget
Follow, follow it through

Well now my body's weak - so just give me a reason
And my make-up's off - so just give me a reason
And my defense's down - so just give me a reason
Give me a reason
Give me a reason
Give me a reason...

[Violin solo]

So what's a girl like me to do
Drowning, drowning in you
And who's to save me from the blue
Carry, carry me through

Cause now my body's weak - so just give me a reason
And my make-up's off - so just give me a reason
And my defense's down - so just give me a reason
I am strong enough - so just give me a reason
Now my body's weak - so just give me a reason
And my make-up's off - so just give me a reason
My defense's down - so just give me a reason
Give me a reason
Give me a reason
Give me a reason
Give me a reason
Give me a reason
What did I do wrong...

 

 

ONLY WHEN I SLEEP

You're only just a dreamboat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
And moving from within
It clutches at my breast

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep

And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow's disappear
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm workin' through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams, (dreams)
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep, (in my sleep)
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep
It's only when I sleep

[Sharon & Andrea solo]

Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian High
In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian High

It's reaching through my skin
Movin' from within
And clutches at my breasts...

But it's only when I sleep...
See you in my dreams, (dreams)
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe

In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian High

But it's only when I sleep... aaaaaaa....
Got me spinning round and round
(Turning upside-down)

Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian High
But it's only when I sleep...

 

ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD 

I'm not looking for someone to talk to
I've got my friend, I'm more than O.K.
I've got more than a girl could wish for
I live my dreams but it's not all they say
Still I believe (I'm missing) I'm missing something real
I need someone who really sees me...

(Don't wanna wake...) Don't wanna wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
All I need is to know it's for sure
Then I'll give... all the love in the world

I've often wondered if love's an illusion
Just to get you through the loneliest days
I can't criticize it
I have no hestitaion
My imagination just stole me away
(Still...) Still I believe
(I'm missing) I'm missing something real
I need someone who really sees me...

(Don't wanna wake...) Don't wanna wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
All I need is to know it's for sure
Then I'll give... all the love in the world

Love's for a lifetime not for a moment
So how could I throw it away
Yeah I'm only human
And nights grow colder
With no-one to love me that way
Yeah I need someone who really sees me...

(Don't wanna wake...) And i won't wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
You'll reach for me and I'll know it's for sure
Then I'll give all the love in the world
(Don't wanna wake up alone anymore...)

Winter Sleep

I am currently listening to Olivia Lufkin's Winter Sleep. I really like this ballad. The soft music combined with OLIVIA's beautiful voice is so calming. It's one of my favourite songs in the OLIVIA inspi' REIRA [TRAPNEST] album.
 
As I like the song, I thought I'd look for its lyrics. Never did it occur to me that this song is pure English. There's no single Japanese word here. I've always thought that this song was in Japanese, with some English words in it. *lol*
 
medium_th_lawlessearth-1.png
 
It keeps coming back to me
I remember this pain
Ir spreads across my eyes
Everything is dull

Everyone's smiling, they're smiling
It pushes me far far away
I can't understand
Everything is blue

Can you hear me out there?

Will you hold me now...? Hold me now, My frozen heart
I'm gazing from the distance and
I feel everything pass through me
I can't be alone right now
Will you hold me now...? Hold me now, My frozen heart
I'm lost in a deep winter sleep
I can't seem to find my way out alone
Can you wake me?

I know when I let it in
It hides love from this moment
So I guard it close
I watch the move it makes

But ir gets me, but it gets me
I wish I could understand how I
Could make it disappear, make it disappear

Anyone out there hear me now?

Will you hold me now...? Hold me now, My frozen heart
Kiss my lips and maybe you can take to your world for now
I can't be alone right now
Will you hold me now...? Hold me now, My frozen heart
Please make it all go away
Am I ever gonna feel myself again?
I hope I will

Will you hold me now...? Hold me now, My frozen heart
I'm gazing from the distance and
I feel everything pass through me
I can't be alone right now
Will you hold me now...? Hold me now, My frozen heart
I'm lost in a deep winter sleep
I can't seem to find my way out alone
Can you wake me?

Truth

medium_Truth.pngThis is one unproductive day. So bloody. So why bother write here? I'm thinking about tomorrow. I have classes tomorrow and I wonder if things will turn out fine. More than that, I wonder how long things will stay this way. That would be really bloody.
 
I am currently watching Yuna Ito's Truth PV. She's actually more of a Reira from Trapnest than Yuna Ito. But I love it. I like the video as well as the music. Besides, it's Trapnest! Teehee... The place is really lovely. I wonder where it was taken.
 
Seems like I found a new favourite artist. Maybe I just like the song. It's really beautiful. Yuna Ito is not just a talented artist. I've read that she did great way back in school. Sugoi.

Olivia inspi' Reira (Trapnest)

medium_Olivia.jpgI'm currently watching NANA. I've actually finished all the 38 episodes. I just hope some kind person would upload the recent episodes. I can't wait to watch what's going to happen to Nana, Hachiko, Blast, and even Trapnest. But I'm not here to talk about them. It's about Olivia.
 
medium_Olivia2.jpgOlivia does the (musical) voice of Reira, Trapnest's vox, from the anime NANA. I've seen her before in a NANA fansite and I thought she was a bit weird. But weird is actually fine with me. I was just "normal" at that time. -_-"
 
I like her voice. She's not the dark Gothic artist type. Whatever her music genre is, which I could hardly tell, is fine with me. I like her. And she's also beautiful. Well, that's a package.
 
medium_Olivia3.jpgI don't know much about her, except that she's a half, but I'll do some research about her when I have free time. Well, the thing is I found a new favourite artist. I am captivated. I even think she'd be able to pull Reira's character better than Yuna Ito. The latter's good anyway. But I'd still go for Olivia. =p

Gackt - No Ni Saku Hana No You Ni

medium_No_Ni_Saku_Hana_No_You_Ni.jpgI'm currently listening to Gackt's latest single, No ni Saku Hana no You ni. I love this single. I might consider it as a favourite. I am no avid Gackt fan, in a sense of being a total one. But I admire him, especially his talents. Yes, "talents" because he's covered at least two fields. B)
 
I've also seen some pics of this single. I like the effects. Gackt was really beautiful in that single. Gackt! I think I'm gonna have a crush on him. Talents + Aesthetics? What else would you look for? I think I'm going to over-rate him. Heehee.. Well, I'm saying those things (the "review" and comments) with all honesty. I'm a nursing student after all. I have to be objective. ^_~

Glamorous Sky

medium_Glamorous_Sky.jpgI first heard this song yester night in TimeZone. It was one of the playlists in Drummania V3. The singer's voice was familiar so I asked eLie if he knew who sang it. He asked another aygee and got an answer. It was Mika Nakashima. I don't remember listening to other Nakashima songs so I think Glamorous Sky was the first one I've heard from Nakashima.

A lot of aygee, or those who are playing DMV3, usually played this song. Seems like a new song has taken the place of Yakenogahara. But I have to admit. Love at first heard ako sa kantang 'to.

I've been observing this song as DM players hit the pads. There's something in this song. I was also reading the "lyrics" in the music video and I noticed the poetic style. There was also something about the music, familiar.

Mika Nakashima... poetic... HYDE.

HYDE composed a song for Nakashima so I thought this must be that song. I thought I could even bet a hundred dime on it. The lyrics and music of Glamorous Sky was familiar. It was like I've known this style before. HYDE effect. ^_~

And I was right. Glamorous Sky, sang by Mika Nakashima, was composed by HYDE. The lyrics were written by Ai Yazawa. I just confirmed it as I roamed around the net.

I'm Addicted to FAITH

I'm getting addicted to HYDE's latest album, Faith. So far, my favourite song is Jesus Christ. But I like the others a lot. It's just that Jesus Christ stands out, having a strong impact on me when I'm listening to it. The reason? The message of the song comes next to the music. It was the latter that actually brought something unknown to me. I just love it.

This reminds me of Evergreen. I wasn't moved by the original, ballad, version. But the rock version did; it even moved me to... tears. It was the music, again.

HYDE was right. Environment affects the way a music is made. I'm glad he decided to record Faith in US. Good job. ^_~ I like the fruits of his labour.

Evergreen

medium_Evergreen.jpg

Five years ago, my favourite song Evergreen was released. "So what?"? It was realeased just a day away to my Geburtstag! I love the 'connection' with this song. Heehee... I love this song. My favourite is the rock version. It even moved me to tears.

Evergreen was also the first HYDE song I had. It was a year ago along with my other MP3 collection. But they were all gone, courtesy of formatting. When I first heard this song, I was thinking of green fields, the meadow... with beautiful trees. It was a calming song; far different from what I used to hear him sing in L'Arc. I was even having second thoughts if it was Hyde from L'A~en~Ciel.

Hours ago while I was on my way home, I took my Evergreen (English) lyrics and read it. I could tell that my lacrimal glands were stimulated. If only I wasn't riding on a jeep, I'd let my tears fall. It was so moving. Yakenogahara is no longer alone.


This scenery is evergreen
I need you far too much , I long to feel your touch
This scenery is evergreen
You’ve always been so dear to me

L'A~Fan

medium_L_Arc_En_Ciel.jpg
L'Arc~en~Ciel
    
I first knew L'Arc~en~Ciel when I was in junior or senior high school. It was introduced to me by my ever beloved friend, She-Ba. I could no longer remember the song that was played, but it was an OST of The Ring.

Years later, I saw their video Driver's High. It didn't sound so interesting to me, except being a GTO OST, so I made no further inquiry about the band. I had encounters about them but I was not a big fan. I was just an ordinary person admiring their talent. But I already acknowledged Hyde's vampireness.

I was more of a Malice Mizer fan, but I admit that Hyde was really beautiful. I even call him the "ultimate vampire" and I said that to Ricah (she loves Klaha). =p
 
But it was last month when I've become so interested in this band. I've become more appreciative. But most of the songs I was listening to were HYDE's. For an instant, I became a Hyde fan. My favourite was Evergreen. Rock version. It even moved me to tears. I guess the music was so intense that I was *speechless*. I kept playing the song. Haha!
 
So I decided to check on Hyde's band. I've got to know how's their music. Again, I've become a fan. I even have Finale as my LSS for four days now. Mostly every morning. Finale is my morning LSS. Haha!

Part of being a Hyde fan was checking on his other field... acting. I was surpised when I watched Moon Child. I'd say he was good. Now I'm waiting for Kagen no Tsuki. I want to watch it so bad.

It may took me years before I became a L'Arc~en~Ciel fan, but it's okay with me. I've actually learned something essential. Love doesn't happen for an instant. Mostly, it will take you years to realize it. But don't feel bad. You've learned as time passed.

How does it feel to win a contest? Of course, you'd feel happy. Well, I've won contests before. How about winning a promo contest? Ok, let’s have the JF-Manila event as an example. If you were in (EDSA) Shangri-La last February then you’d remember the display of J-Artists where we had the privilege listening to J-Pop CDs, for free.

During the “display days”, listeners were given a survey form. Just filling it up gave one an entry “form” where you could win a CD. Of course, there’s nothing wrong joining so I did.

Two days ago, someone from Japan Foundation-Manila called. She was looking for moi. Well, she called to tell me that I won a CD. Yokatta!!

 

I was told that I can claim my prize in Pacific Star Bldg. Hades, I never knew where on Manila is that. But of course, she gave me the address. Still, I don’t know how to get there so I asked tito kenji (a friend actually) for directions.

While inside the FX, I’ve been thinking how to get to JF-M office as soon as possible. I only got less than 30 minutes. I asked the FX driver if we’ll pass PSB. The answer was no so I was just dropped in The Manila Peninsula.

I was supposed to ride on a jeep but none passed. Also, a police officer told me that I can walk from TMP to PSB. There’s no problem walking. I was just worried about time. 10 more minutes and they’re already closed.

Unlike in PS games, I don’t usually get lost in real life. I found Pacific Star Building. I’ve seen it before; I just didn’t know its name. I got inside the building and sped to the elevator. According to Shiela it’s on 12th floor. But I saw no “12” in the elevator buttons so I decided to go to the 15th floor. I thought, there should be 12th floor, but where? I used the elevator (again) to get to the right floor. Still then, there was no “12”. When I left the elevator, I was back in the ground floor.

I was running out of time so I decided to ask the receptionist (tama ba?).

“This is the Pacific Star Building, right?”

“Yes.”
“How do I get to the twelfth floor?” (bulol pa ako sa “r”)
*points* “The other side, ma’am.”
“Ok. Thank you.”

Phew! Finally, I made it to the twelfth floor. Well, I entered the office like a kid trying to conceal his excitement. Can’t help it.


I got CORE OF SOUL Natural Beauty. Heehee… My favourite band! Btw, I also had my picture taken twice. Of course, for documentation. =p

Before I left, I asked them if they have Pacific Friend. I was hoping to subscribe. But they said it’s already Nippon Friend (if my memory’s doing fine). Anyway, they gave me a copy of Nipponia (15 March) 2005.

Core of Soul

Image hosting by Photobucket

Just four days ago was Core of Soul's concert her in RP. Was really happy that they had a concert here in my beloved country.

Btw, I have a friend who became a fan of COS. So evident. I should've finished the mp3s I'm supposed to give him. Shinpai shinaide. You'll have it soon.

At this very moment, I am listening to Core of Soul songs, but through this site (kore wa omoshiroi desu. Honto ni.).

Gosh, this makes me want to buy their album. Given the chance, I'll go for any Core Of Soul album, especially Natural Beauty. Most of my favourite songs are there. I think I have to get back to Shang so I could listen to their songs, for free. ;)

Readers, if you're a CORE OF SOUL fan, I invite you to join their Fanlisting. Doomo. I am member #10.

I almost forgot to share the pics I managed to take (from a distance):

Nakamura Fukiko

Song Rui

Fukko-san playing the guitar

Fukko-san again (I think it was the time when she was making some dance moves.)

Another Fukko-san pic

 

Btw, I was able to "meet" Core of Soul through this website: Project-J. Thanks to it! I've known a wonderful and awesome band. Too much praise ha? Oh! I've also known/"met" Cocco through that site. Cool.

 

 

Music: Core of Soul - 今が光る
(Gosh! This song is awesome though I've only heard a part of the whole. Fukko-san rocks!)

Yakenogahara

This is my LSS.
 
I've been listening to this song yesterday over and over again. I even forgot to eat lunch. =D The first time I heard this song, was in SM Megamall played in DM, I fell in love with it right away. It's so beautiful. I am too carried away that it even makes my lacrimal glands active! Nyahahaha!
 
I was in Shangri-La Plaza yester night and saw some GC friends there. Mel, in particular, played DM and Yakenogahara was one of the songs she played. Thanks cuz! *hugz and kizzez*

Lost MP3s and MVs

I miss my lost MP3s and MVs. Huhuhu... I miss Malice Mizer, Klaha, Gackt, Asian Kukng-Fu Generation, Ayumi Hamasaki, L'Arc~en~Ciel, and others. I miss my OSTs in Witch Hunter RObin, Get Backers, Gensomaden Saiyuki, GTO, and other favourite and unfavourite anime. T_T

I wanna have them back. This time, I gonna make sure that they'll be fine. I'll keep them safe, for eternity. *silly mode: on*

Drop

Wala na akong naririning mula sa kanya since wednesday last week. Galit kaya siya sa akin? 'Wag naman sana. Kaya ko nga pinost 'yung bagay na 'yun sa Friendster eh (although hindi ako naniniwala sa bagay na 'yun), nagbabakasali na hindi siya magalit sa akin. T_T

 

GTO: Drop (Enlgish)

If you can't love everyone, at least do not
Betray, suspect, accuse, or hate the ones you love

Does being innocent mean that I will hurt people?
A quiet passion begins to stir within my eyes... after meeting you

Teardrops are about to fall; I don't let them, holding them within my heart
Live each moment to the fullest; become a focused drop

Pure love is always leading someone astray
Let's pray without giving up, even if the world has turned dark

Let's find the one thing that I can be proud to myself about
Even if dreams that I cannot put into words fill both of my hands, I won't let myself be affected by anyone

What can I do in these neverending times?
Even though the spark is faint right now, you can't put it out

The tapwater's chlorine deposits have accumulated on the sink's edge and doesn't seem like it'll ever dissolve
I think of even the scientific environment and love at the same level
If you find the one thing that only you can do,
You need nothing else, right? You've come to realize that lately, right?
From a corner in the city that's like a huge boulder, I want to change something, little by little by little
I want to infiltrate someone for real

This morning, the TV was showing people somewhere far away who hated each other

What can I do in these neverending times?
Even though the spark is faint right now, you can't put it out

Teardrops are about to fall; I don't let them, holding them within my heart
Live each moment to the fullest; become a focused drop

Gatsu No Love Song

I'm currently downloading a Gackt PV. C'est Gatsu No Love Song. I like this song. I think it's one of my favourite J-songs. Nah! It's too slow. I can't wait to download the next song. I only have very limited time because I need to sleep. I no longer have normal sleep. What is this, a NANDA? Disturbance in sleep pattern? Haha!

 

 Gatsu No Love Song
Gackt 

Itsuno ma ni ka machi no naka ni juuni-gatsu no
awatadashisa ga afure
chiisana te o furinagara taisetsu na hito no namae o
yobu

koibito-tachi no yasashisa ni tsutsumarete kono
machi ni mo sukoshi hayai fuyu ga otozureru

taisetsu na hito dakara zutto kawaranai de
waratteite
daisuki na hito dakara zutto kimi dake o
dakishimete...

Show-window o mitsumenagara kata o yoseau
futari ga toorisugiru
kimi no koto o machinagara shiroi toiki ni omoi o
noseru

miageta sora ni konayuki ga maioriteitazura ni futari
no kyori o sotto chikazukeru

shizuka na yoru ni mimimoto de sasayaita
ano kotoba o mou ichido sotto tsubuyaita

taisetsu na hito dakara zutto kawaranai de
waratteite
daisuki na hito dakara zutto kimi dake o
dakishimete...

itsumade mo dakishimete...

kimi dake o dakishimete...

Bon Jovi

I have downloaded three or four Bon Jovi songs early this morning. Oh how I miss their music. I was just a little kid when I knew this group, and yes I did know that its lead vocalist is Jon Bon Jovi. I think its pianist's name starts with letter R. Hmmm....
