LSS: Everything

Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That is leading me
To the place where
I find peace again
You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper now

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

'Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything
Everything

You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything
Everything

You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything
Everything

You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything
Everything

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this


If there's one song I wish I had written, probably that would be Everything by Lifehouse. You can listen over and over again to this song, and still you will never figure it out why you are still listening.

Was it because of the melody? Was it because it has that unusual transition from a dramatic to a more dramatic ending? Was it because you first heard it in Smallville? Was it because you wished you were dancing with a girl? Was it because you can imagine lots of thing that can make you feel better? Was it because of the bone chills? Or was it because it was made not just for a girl?

Needless to say, it is very moving...

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

LSS: 3 AM

She says baby
It's 3 am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it




I got a floating head right now..wasn't able to get ample sleep last night..can't write..i'll just sing and sleep to that...

LSS: How Far We've Come

I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,

The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I
and started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?

But I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street, took a look at myself
said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
say all goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to

I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come (right now)
let's see how far we've come

Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

Its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it's over for me and it's over for you
well its gone gone baby its all gone
there's no one on the corner and there's no one at home
well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it's over for me and it's over for you

I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come, again
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

The return of Matchbox Twenty...such an anthem! When i first heard this song, I never thought it was MB20. This is the best song therapy for those who are down and dumb. Of course, we can interpret this in many different ways, but surely, they kicked ass.

"You are my sweetest downfall,
I loved you first, I loved you first"

Earworms

I am lightheaded today, I got some brain plague.

After listening to music or getting dragged by a melodramatic scene, then all of the sudden you’ll hear yourself subconsciously humming the last song you heard all through out the day or all through out your journey going to your workplace or anywhere, that’s Last Song Syndrome. Basically, LSS is defined as the repeatedly and subconsciously singing the last song heard but has it reached your mind that there could be a good explanation why this observable fact occurs.

(I can’t find it in wiki so I had to resort into some deep sites for some related articles)

If you are currently experiencing the above mentioned symptoms, then you are having Earworms. Yes, they are called earworms as popularized by a University of Cincinnati professor James Kellaris. A loan translation from the German word Ohrwurm which is a term for a song struck in one’s head. They are horrifying parasites, you can’t get rid of them, you can’t let them go, and there is no cure – perfect for the term earworm.

Other terms for earworm are cognitive itch, brain itch, jukebox virus, sticky tunes, melodymania or the more famous term last song syndrome.

So the next time you got infected by these crappy brain tunes, you can say:

“Oh, I got some earworms! Wanna have some?”

Just Listen

I’ve got two things to share: I can’t toil when I’m not moved and those things are just normal, aren’t they?

Now back to regular programming.

Some years ago, I was entangled with my so called passion for things that are hard to think through. For great instance, I enjoy listening to songs which lyrically I do not understand due to language barrier. Most of my friends would just find it weird, but then again, I just tell them “weird is nice”. So be it.

I would turn to google for the English translation just to figure out what I’m dealing with and to my amusement, the words are just the way I expected them to be. After that, I would wonder how I fell for that song. Maybe because the melody catches your heart first before the lyrics just like in the Music and Lyrics flick. Still, I find it very interesting or it’s just mere coincidence. It’s just I don’t care If I can not understand the artist, but as long as we have connection, it’s all fine.

As they say, music is a universal language. As I say, you don’t have to understand – just listen.
