Last Song Syndrome

Complete blog post here.

Know that painting by Salvador Dali of watches melted on the table? Surreal as it can get, yeah. It’s called the Persistence of Memory. And that’s what this song does. It persists. I’ve put off blogging about it, but it’s pretty strong and it’s still there somewhere, coming out when I take a shower. So I’m gonna post the lyrics. Not that this is gonna put a stop to the persistence. It’s a nice sad song.

Sometimes you're right, sometimes I biteWhy is it hard to say what I want when I want?Sometimes I love, sometimes you hateWhy does it hurt to hear what you have to say?

Chances are you'll get it when you stop wantingChances are you'll fall asleep when you stop tryingJust can't lie to myself

Sometimes I doubt, then you back outWhy is it hard to breathe in the same room?Deep down we know why we can't run awayBut why does it hurt to visualize the goal?

Chances are I'll regret when you say good-byeChances are you'll find the way home with or without meJust don't lie to yourself

I go this way, you go that way, wherever we'll find each otherChances are… chances are…

I don’t want half-hearted
love affairs

I need someone who really
cares

Life is too short to play
silly games

I promised myself I won’t
do that again

It’s got to be perfect

It’s got to be worth it

Too many people take
second best

But I won’t take anything
less

It’s got to be perfect

Young hearts are foolish,
they make such mistakes

They’re much too eager to
give their heart away

Well I have been foolish
too many times

Now I’m determined, I’m
gonna get it right

It’s got to be perfect

It’s got to be worth it

Too many people take
second best

But I won’t take anything
less

It’s got to be perfect

Young hearts are foolish,
they make such mistakes

They’re much too eager to
give their heart away

Well I have been foolish
too many times

Now I’m determined, I’m
gonna get it right

It’s got to be perfect

It’s got to be worth it

Too many people take
second best

But I won’t take anything
less

It’s got to be perfect

It’s got to be perfect

It’s got to be worth it

It’s got to be perfect

LSSs have come and gone. and now i’m updating this unnecessary blog coz of an anime series i find really, really neat. not to mention with a rocking collection of soundtracks.

How to Touch A Girl

I think I could like you, I already do.

Feelings can grow, but they can go away too.

You’re taking my hand, looking into my eyes.

Don’t be in a rush to get me tonight.

I feel something happening; could this be a spark?

To satisfy me baby, you gotta satisfy my heart.

Do you know How to Touch a Girl?

If you want me so much, first I have to know:

Are you thoughtful and kind?

Do you care what’s on my mind?

Or am I just for show?

You’ll go far in this world

if you know How to Touch a Girl.

I think I could like you, but I keep holding back,

’cause I can’t seem to tell if you’re fiction or fact.

Show me you can laugh, show me you can cry.

Show me who you really are, deep down inside.

Do you feel something happening? Could this be for real?

I don’t know right now, but tonight we’ll reveal:

Do you know How to Touch a Girl?

If you want me so much, first I have to know:

Are you thoughtful and kind?

Do you care what’s on my mind?

Or am I just for show?

You’ll go far in this world

if you know How to Touch a Girl.

Bring me some flowers,

Conversation for hours,

to see if we really connect,

and baby, if we do,

I’ll be giving all my love to you!

Rock With You

Girl, close your eyes
Let that rhythm get into you
Don’t try to fight it
There ain’t nothin’ that you can do
Relax your mind
Lay back and groove with mine
You got to feel the heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love

I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into the (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
We’re gonna rock the night away

Out on the floor
There ain’t nobody there but us
Girl, when you dance
There’s a magic that must be love
just take it slow
‘Cause we got so far to go
When you feel that heat
And we’re gonna ride the boogie
Share that beat of love

I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into the (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
We’re gonna rock the night away

And when the groove is dead and gone,yeah
You know that love survives
So we can rock forever, on

I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you

I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you

I wanna rock (all night) with you, girl (sunlight)
Rock with you, rock with you girl (yeah)
(all night)
Dance the night away

I wanna rock with you (yeah) (all night)
Rock you into the (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Rock the night away
Feel the heat, feel the beat (all night)
Rock you in today (sunlight)
I wanna rock (all night) - rock the night away

Banana Pancakes

Cant you see that its just raining
Aint no need to go outside…
But Baby, You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what your supposed to
Waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Ill make you banana pancakes
Pretend like its the weekend now

And we can pretend it all the time
Cant you see that its just raining
Aint no need to go outside

Just maybe, like and ukelele
Mommy made a baby
Really dont mind the breakfast
Cause your my little lady
Lady lady love me
Cause I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there’s no work outside

And we can pretend it all the time
Cant you see that its just raining
Aint no need to go outside
Aint no need aint no need Mmmm MMmmm
Cant you see cant you see
Rain all day
And I dont mind.

The telephone is singing
Ringing its too early
Don’t pick it up
We don’t need to we got everything
We need right here
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Don’t really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, yeah wake up slow
You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what your supposed to
Waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Ill make you banana pancakes
Pretend like its the weekend now

And we can pretend it all the time
Cant you see that its just raining
Aint no need to go outside
Cant you see cant you see,
You gotta wake up slow

gusto ko ng banana pancakes.

The Scientist
Coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you Im sorry
You dont know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
Im going back to the start

"Better Together"

There’s no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it’s so hard?
It’s not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I’ll tell you one thing it’s always better when we’re together

MMM it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, we’ll look at the stars when we’re together
Well, it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they’ll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they’ll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I’d be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We’ll Sit beneath the mango tree now

It’s always better when we’re together
Mmmm, we’re somewhere in between together
Well, it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We’re better together.

Sometimes I get sick of words like
genius, real power, a man of great talent
I don’t wanna hear that
You don’t wanna hear that
I just want expressing myself
I need somebody to love me, hug me all my life
That’s why I came here, Heaven’s Kitchen

catchy, catchy. Bonnie Pink , Heaven’s Kitchen.

You Give Me Something
James Morrison

You want to stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep,
I was meant to tread the water
Now I’ve gotten in too deep,
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away.

‘Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I’m willing to give it a try,
Please give me something
‘Cause someday I might know my heart.

You already waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me,
And I can say I’ve never bought you flowers
I can’t work out what the mean,
I never thought that I’d love someone,
That was someone else’s dream.

‘Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I’m willing to give it a try,
Please give me something,
‘Cause someday I might call you from my heart,
But it might me a second too late,
And the words I could never say
Gonna come out anyway.

‘Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I’m willing to give it a try,
Please give me something,
‘Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I’m willing to give it a try,
Please give me something
‘Cause someday I might know my heart.
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
