Palmy - ร้องไห้ง่ายๆกับเรื่องเดิมๆ




Last week I listened to a very achingly beautiful song that I do not understand. It is in Thai but it touched my heart. I wish I can write something as beautiful. It is in my head now and then. I love the chords. Thanks to Jesmo for this.

translated:
I tried to be on my own, telling myself that everything is okay

I tried to remain calm and stay strong

But all those feelings never subsided

though everything had changed

Why do I always cry over the same thing?

This I never understand

Sometimes I wonder why I am this sensitive,

always crying with these same feelings

I tried to take care of myself, struggling all those feelings

Paramore: The Only Exception [OFFICIAL VIDEO]




Last Friday I made my boss played the guitar and we sang some songs in the office. Boss has picked this song. Usually I am not so into mainstream music but this is different. I have never looked at the lyrics so closely and I like the fact that it is both sad and hopeful. (I especially like the highlighted sentences):

Lyrics:

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And cursed at the wind
He broke his own heart
And i watched
As he tried to re-assemble it

And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist


But darlin',
You, are, the only exception
But, you, are, the only exception
But, you, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe i know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face


And i've always lived like this
Keeping it comfortable,
distance, and up until now
I'd sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness
Because none of it
was ever worth the risk, but...


You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Oh

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing.

Keren Ann - My name is trouble



Saw this today. Quite like it. Wonder how someone would change an octave so naturally without sounding too wrong. :)

Blue Wednesday




Last night i went to Blue Wednesday at The Annexe Gallery, Central Market, featuring Flica, Liyana Fizi, Figure of Speech & Zailla Lee. I went there with Zito. Initially when Zito asked me I told him i couldn't make it because Wednesday night is always yoga night. Since yoga class is full, i chose to go Blue Wednesday.




I am glad yoga class was full that day...because i wouldn't want to miss this. After being there last night, i know i have would have too much to lose if i didn't come to Blue Wednesday last night.




First act was Liyana Fizi, it was refreshing and sweet. Even the malay songs she sang was so sweet and cute.




Second act was the abstract Flica, playing electro-acoustic music with high volume and low lightings. Although it may not suit everyone, i found myself enjoying it.




Third act was Zailla Lee who is a petite lady with very good showmanship. The crowd was lighten up and clap along. She has Jewel and Tracy Chapman combination. Anyway it was interesting and fun to watch and the collaboration between Zailla and Figure of Speech was awesome. Figure of Speech raps so well with every word sounded very clever to me!




I was very happy last night. One of my best night ever!
