Talk Tonight

Oasis has been loved and hated by many people. But their songs will always be within me and Live Forever. Despite all the angers between the brothers, as always until they broke up, they do create something beautiful, meaningful or just plain rock and roll. I just can't wait for Noel's solo album. I hope he makes great music such as this one.


Oasis - Talk Tonight


Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young

I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life

I wanna talk tonight

and We Dull

As we dance through the life that we live in, we just gaze the beauty around. We call out for help, we scream out from our cave to be noticed, "Who's there? Can any body hear me?" The trap that we set ourselves has eaten us alive.

Take a minute and walk a few steps to the side to take a glance at that branch as it blossoms cherry blooms at the tip. Let your nose inhale what's not there anymore, out of the polluted air that we make everyday, there's always a few spot where there's still pure delight lingers.

Walk through that field of grass and lay down to see the bright blue sky and imagine that you're not of this flat, solid ground. Leave the weight that burdens your shoulder just for a moment and take a deep breath as you close your eyes and everything else will follow.

It might be hard to even consider the following. We strike the plastic squares with our fingers at nine until the day dawns then socialize with our close ones until the heavy head hits the soft feathers filled pillow.

If only we take a moment and give back a smile to the sky that always been there for us then may be, just may be a little spark of enlightenment would actually appears in our heart. It could be that little smile that would make a passer by his or her day. That same simple smile could be the cause that erase a Dull day that is ours or theirs.

Always Be

Yea, another Jimmy Eat World song. I listen to this almost everyday going to my nine to six. I just close my eyes while I commute in the middle of a crowded train just to escape from reality for a mere three minutes before facing the truth.

Jimmy Eat World - Always Be


Could've been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
(Something I just know)
How you gonna know the feeling till you've lost it
I've been losing plenty since

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

Maybe something else I'm missing
Something good and your the reason
It's a dream but there's a real world waiting

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

Dizzy

This has got to be one of my favorite band of all time. It's kindda funny how I discovered them. I mean I knew their most hit songs like The Middle, Sweetness and A Praise Chorus. But I never knew their songs after that album Bleed American. Then I was surfing around MySpace looking through my friend's friends. There was this girl who has one of those playlist of songs in her site then I saw Jimmy Eat World. So I just click play, Chase This Light was on, ZOOM! (you know, one of those camera effect where the camera zooms in but the background goes further away) I got hooked.

So this band is like kind of underrated, not many people know the songs from them but I don't know if it's just me or the songs just connect to me. May be the marketing isn't that big from their label and that's why the exposure isn't that much. Any how, this is one of their songs.

Jimmy Eat World - Dizzy


You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it.
But it isn't meant for me, and I notice
If the choice was ours alone,
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?

Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just a number always counting down to a new start
If you always knew the truth
Then the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?

Respectfully, so honestly I'm calling out
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.

All talk and not a lot to think, we were living dreams
And shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose,
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
I'm still walking.

I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you,
You can lick and seal then fold in two
Then I've been so blind.


Oh, oh take it all back, take the first, the last and only.
Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,
Everything you showed me.
Oh, oh this must be how it feels when the feeling goes

I told you as I hovered, I never felt this way
You said I have the shot that stops my clock
Baby it's OK
You said you'd never have regrets
Jesus, is there someone yet
Who got their wish; did you get yours, babe?

Interstate Love Song

Interstate Love Song

This gotta be one of the best song to play on the guitar for me. The melody, the lyrics, the addiction of the song is just, hem...




waiting on a Sunday afternoon
for what I read between the lines,
your lies.
feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
so do you laugh or does it cry?
reply?

leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied,
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things you said to me.

breathing is the hardest thing
to do. with all I've said and
all that's dead for you,
you lied - good bye

leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things I said to you.

This Boy

You can hear the distinct voice of John Lennon when Sean is singing solo. Astonishing!
