waltz sonata

sleepy days.. finally arrived..

so many to settle in this 2 days tat i have.. im glad i have the lively people tat i work wif... funny la they all...

i was bumped into vanessa carlton wen i was searching for u2's songs... where the streets have no name... i remember the past wer i used to follow them religiously... ever the complete band.. 3 piece band and 1 singer.... 4... jus 4.. so complete.. sound so complete...

larry mullen... superb drummer... on time.. complete sounding.. beats with momentum... adam clayton.. simple yet sophisticated... his running notes so simple but hard to follow.. the timing very soothing, yet catchy... the edge... melodic guitarist... always focused.. harmonized wif the lead singer so well.. delay sounds so sweet wif his guitar... a mystery... bono... ever the humanitarian... involved wif the world's politics... moving in his singing and his style... his voice... touching, reaching out to the people... flexible vocals...

in their veteran years... a band to look up to...

anyway back to vanessa... used to listen to her in my poly years... thousand miles.. i rem... a thousand miles... to rem the one i used to look for... years back... the album tat lead me thru poly... twilight... the 1st female pianist to catch my ears by storm...

then i came across this song yesterday.. who's to say...

u live the life u live... we grow up listening to ppl... shaped ard wat ppl say... ard how they think of us... if ur strong enuff, u break away from the barrier... to mould to someone u can look up to... where u'd reach out ur hand, they'd offer... guides u to see wat they see... its hard to do the ways... tats wat they see thru.. belief to stay strong... words dun sway them easily.. balance is wat they look for.. peace only they can attain by changin their own feelings... smiles.. laughter... kids.. babies..

here's her song.. who's to say... sounds so direct if u read the lyrics.. but listen to the song... the feel.. the longing... for my dear blog readers... added the video for listening pleasure..



"Who's To Say"

Stand up straight
Do your trick
Turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright
When you're around they tell us slow down,
We're too young you need to grow
The speed's the key
And they don't know who we are

And who's to say that we're not good enough?
And who's to say that this is not our love?

Mother don't tell me friends are the ones that I lose
'Cause they'd bleed before you
And sometimes family are the ones you'd choose
It's too late now
I hold on to this life I found

And who's to say we won't burn it out?
And who's to say we won't sink in doubt?
Who's to say that we won't fade to gray?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
And if you don't believe me, you never really knew us
You never really knew

You and I, packin' up my room, we feel alright
But we're not welcome, soon
We'll be drivin', 'cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we won't stay together?
Who's to say we aren't getting stronger?
Who's to say I can't live without you?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we're together
Who is to say?
And who is to say?
And who are they anyway?

Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around
