Song Title: Home

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmm…

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
They’re each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well, I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I gotta go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home

Let me go home
It’ll all be alright
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

Liked this song from the first time I heard it over the radio – Buble’s first single from the album… Liked the melody – the easy listening kind (one of my favourite genres)… And it was a love song (my ultimate favourite genre)! It’s one of those swoony songs that just put me in a mood – a mood to reminisce… But that aside, I also really, really, like so very the really liked the lyrics – the gist of the song… I guess at that point of time it was something I could relate to… I remember listening to it day and night for weeks! The only song on my playlist that was kept at “Repeat 1” during that time! I kid you not… Haha… I tend to do that sometimes… My housemates would know… I just love irritating the hell outta people… I think it’s a gift… =p

Sigh… Okay, fine… I confess… I’ve blogged this song before, too… Seem to be putting my songs on repeat quite a bit on Tinki Talks lately, haven’t I? Hmmm… But who cares? It’s a nice song… Very touching… Makes me go all soft and gooey inside… Like totally sentimental and emotional… My heart’s all jell-O-ish now…

*soft sigh*

Anyways, was trying to get inspiration to write (work wise) and decided to listen to some jazzy, bluesy, classical-ish songs… It worked for a while… Haha… Right up to the point this song popped up on the playlist… Sigh… After that, work pretty much became history…

Well, this song still does bring back memories… I mean, it puts me in a frame of mind where I feel the same way that I felt at that point in time – way back in time… But even though it’s been ages, when the song starts playing, it still feels like it was just yesterday… Haha… Not many songs are able to do this, you know… But it HAS been proven that musical notes, smell and stuff of the sort have the ability to evoke emotions and bring back forgotten memories… It’s kinda cool, huh? That subconsciously, we remember things… Our bodies, our hearts and our souls remember long after our brains forget…

“And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
They’re each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well, I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that”

This part really reminds me of the time I used to write letters… Pages and pages per letter… Heaps and heaps of letters! Piles and piles of letters! Hundreds of letters! Haha… I’m not kidding okayyy… I had a stash of stamps kept in my stamp-storage and the post-box was my best friend… =p I remember counting the days it takes for letters to reach to make sure the letters arrive on the exact day I want it to… I know I have to post letter before 11am in order for that day to count when it came to counting days… Haha… It’s all coming back to me now man… I should start writing letters again – snail-mail style… It’s been too long…

“May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone”

Haha… For a person like me, this isn’t a problem, yet it’s a huge problem… I’m not really making sense, am I? Haha… Well, you see, I have my fair share of friends… At the same time, however, I am close (like the share-your-heart-out-and-hide-nothing kinda close) to few – very few… I don’t trust easily… Sigh… Some days I could have big groups of people around me, yet I still feel alone… But on other days, I could just have one friend with me at heart (amazingly, it doesn’t have to be physical closeness) and I feel like I have everything in the world…

Whatever it is, it’s just cruel when you’re home but you don’t feel at home… Figuratively speaking, of course… Sigh… It’s true as they say… Home IS where the heart is… My problem right now is that, I don’t know where my heart is…

Song Title: Tomorrow

And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it’ll be ok
Yeah I try to believe you
But I don’t

When you say that it’s gonna be
It always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe you
Not today, today, today, today, today

[CHORUS]
I don’t know how I’ll feel
Tomorrow (tomorrow), tomorrow (tomorrow)
I don’t know what to say
Tomorrow (tomorrow), tomorrow
Is a different day (tomorrow)

It’s always been up to you
It’s turning around, it’s up to me
I’m gonna do what I have to do
Just don’t

Gimme a little time
Leave me alone a little while
Maybe it’s not too late
Not today, today, today, today, today

[CHORUS]
I don’t know how I’ll feel
Tomorrow (tomorrow), tomorrow (tomorrow)
I don’t know what to say
Tomorrow (tomorrow), tomorrow
Is a different day

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I’m not ready
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, I’m not ready
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow

And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it’ll be ok
Yeah I try to believe you
Not today, today, today, today, today
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change

Today’s just been one of those days… Things were crazy; there wasn’t enough time; I only had an hour and a half’s sleep the night before… Sigh… The whole package…

The funny part was that these weren’t the parts that made my day suck… “Funny part”… Hah! I contradict myself… Believe me, it’s not that funny when you’re me…

*purses lips*

I’m gonna ramble on a bit here so if reading about how my day sucked isn’t your cup of tea, you might wanna go on to a cheerier blog elsewhere…

Well, one person would have an idea of what I’m talking about but, I don’t wanna talk about it… I mean, not in conversation… This is me letting it out in my space, my post, my blog… Fat phei hei with myself…

“Gimme a little time
Leave me alone a little while”

– In a good way, of course… Really… Don’t worry…

Grrr… Now, for my outburst… Sheesh! I can’t believe I got a shock… What in the world was that about?!? Being surprised? Stunned? Taken aback? Ugh… I hate it, I hate it, I hate it – I hate it all… These words are so not working for me right now… Stupid words… (It’s one of those if-you’re-angry-and-you-accidentally-stub-your-toe-on-a-door-it’s-the-door’s-fault days… On other days, English rocks… Today is not one of those days…)

So what if I saw what I saw? Big deal! What difference does it make to me? None… Zilch… Nada… In this case, Difference = NIL… So why did I react the way I did? It’s so frustrating… I’m frustrated with myself… I really am… I’ve annoyed and exasperated me! Pam, hmmph!

*frowns and frowns again*

It’s okay if you don’t know what I’m getting all worked up about… Not many know… You’re not alone…

*sighs*

Whatever it is, I’m trying to psycho myself into thinking that tomorrow it may change… That tomorrow, it will be okay… That tomorrow will be a different day… Hmmph!

*stomps away*

My God is so much bigger than the physical realm… This world we live in, it’s child’s play… There are bigger things happening around us… Things that can be mind-boggling, mystifying and perplexing at times… You see, things can get really messed up, especially when we try to use our humanistic abilities and senses to grasp at the essence of what God truly is… Come on… Trying to understand a multi-dimensional God with a 3-dimensional brain?!? Forget it… There are things our five senses just can’t comprehend without a little faith… This holds true especially when it comes to matters of the heart and to the things of God… Take this for example…

My God is Spirit, but He is real…

• I can’t see Him,
…but His eyes watch over me…

• I can’t touch Him,
…but He holds my life in His hands…

• I can’t taste Him,
…but His Spirit is sweet…

• I can’t smell Him,
…but His presence fills the air…

• I can’t hear Him,
…but He speaks to me…

In a survey conducted in 2000 by Kimberly-Clark, it was found that men prefer to fold their toilet paper, and women like to wad it.

Hmmm… Are you a Folder, or a Wadder? Wadder – is there even such a word?!?

Have you guys ever heard of a Tim Eagook? I think it sounds like some kind of bird… One of those vulture-looking ones with small heads, botak necks and grubby feathers… The big kind… And like all others, the ugly kind…

*shudder*

Okay okay… Stop scratching your heads and go clear the dandruff on your screen… This was where it came from…

Pam Song : And it dates back to long tim eagook!
Friend : Nice mashup of words there…
Pam Song : Hahahaha… Thank you…

Song Title: Making Memories Of Us

[VERSE 1]
I’m gonna be here for you, baby
I’ll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

[CHORUS]
And I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I’ll earn your trust making memories of us

[VERSE 2]
I wanna honor your mother
And I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it’s ever been

[CHORUS]
And I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I’ll earn your trust making memories of us

[BRIDGE]
We’ll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there’ll be a new day
Comin’ your way

[VERSE 3]
I’m gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You’ve been stretched to the limits but it’s alright now
And I’m gonna make you a promise
If there’s life after this
I’m gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss, mm hmm…

[CHORUS]
And I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I’ll earn your trust making memories of us, mm hmm…
I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I’ll win your trust making memories of us, mm hmm…
Ooo, oh baby

Was working on a wedding present earlier tonight and decided to listen to some love songs… Haha… To get into the right mood… Or for inspiration, maybe? =p Haha… Browsed through my thousands of songs and finally settled for this one and left it on repeat mode… Sigh… So lo-man-tik leh!

There are many sections in this song that I think are really good… For starters, I like the way Keith Urban sings, “I’ll be a man of my word,” in the first verse… I really believe that those who keep their word are those who eventually earn the trust of the people around them… More so when it comes to a relationship… Keeping your word builds trust… If you wanna say it, make sure you do it – fulfil it… It matters more than you’ll ever know… Don’t say “I love you” when you’re not really feeling it… Never say “forever” if you’re not gonna mean it…

Next, I like the way he described his love for her to the very end – till death do them part… Also in Verse 1, he sang, “I wanna die in your arms”… Even to the end of his life, till his dying breath, it’s the same woman’s arms he wants around him… No one else should come even close to being the last face you want to see before you leave this world… The last person you touch… The last look of love that tells you that your entire life was one worth living simply because you’ve loved another with everything you had…

In the second verse, he sang, “I wanna honor your mother. And I wanna learn from your pa”… I think this is really important… Many fail to put enough emphasis on this part… You see, when two people get together, it’s a merging of two families – a blending of the social lines that used to differentiate one family from the other… And since Keith’s a guy, he said that he’d want to learn from his partner’s father… I think it also works the other way round… When a woman loves a guy, she should want to learn from his mother… Of course, I’m referring to picking up the good and respectable traits… You see, a father is THE man in a girl’s life for the many years before the guy came along… Likewise, a mother is THE ultimate woman in a boy’s life… As such, if you think yourself worthy of being with the one you love, be sure that you can take care of that person AT LEAST as well as their parent has, and love them at least as much as their parent has… In fact, to justify a parent giving away their child, one should be able to give MORE than their parent ever could! In every area of life, when change takes place, it’s almost always an upgrade… Why not when it comes to caring for and loving the person you wanna spend the rest of your life with? You’d wanna be the software upgrade to your partner, don’t you? If they’re already on Windows XP (the parent’s standard), dun la cause them to have to use Windows 98!

Keith ended the verse with “I wanna make your world better than it’s ever been”… That should be the cry of every person who has a partner… Your being in their world should make it a better place… You’ve only got one mission, one assignment – that is to make your partner the happiest person alive, every day of their lives…

And finally, for the Chorus… He says, “And I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you. And I’ll earn your trust making memories of us…” I think this is quite obvious and there’s no need for lengthy explanations… Love like nobody else does… To earn a person’s trust is a continual process… The funny thing about trust is that it’s not about doing anything extra… It’s about NOT doing the uncalled for extra – not doing what you’re not supposed to be doing… Haha… You get the idea, don’t you?

The more I listen to this song (it’s still playing now), the more I feel it’s a song one would sing for his bride on their wedding day… Haha… Looks like I found the perfect accompaniment for my wedding pressie task at hand…

Whatever it is, I believe that marriage is for forever, right till the end when we finally come face to face with our Maker… Once you jump into it, there’s no turning back… It’s a journey that comes in the form of a one-way ticket… And like Charlie in “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory”, I hope each one of you find your “golden” ticket…

Anyways, the pressie’s done and I’m pleased with what I see… Will post a pic of it up sometime… The timing’s not really right… Haha… =p

Song Title: That’s When I’ll Stop Loving You

When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever (yeah yeah)
That’s when I’ll stop loving you
(That’s when I’ll stop loving you)

I’m sure you’ve heard these words before
And I know it’s hard for you to trust them once more
You’re afraid it all might end
And a broken heart is scared of breaking again
But you’ve gotta believe me I’ll never leave you
You’ll never cry long as I am there
And I will always be there
You will never be without love

[CHORUS]
When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever
When lies become the truth
Oh, you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop loving
That’s when I’ll stop loving you
(That’s when I’ll stop loving you, yeah)

As long as sunlight lights the sky
Light of love will be found in these eyes of mine
(These eyes of mine)
And I will shine that light for you
You’re the only one I’ll ever give this heart to
What I’m trying to say is nothing will change this
There be no time that you won’t find me there
Cause I will always be there
You will always have all my love

[CHORUS]
When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever
When lies become the truth
Oh, you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop loving
That’s when I’ll stop loving you
(That’s when I’ll stop loving you)

When this world doesn’t turn anymore
When the stars all decide to stop shining
‘Til then I’m gonna be by your side
I’m gonna be loving you forever
Everyday of my life

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

Well, you know then baby
That’s when I’ll stop loving
That’s when I’ll stop loving
That’s when I’ll stop loving you
(Oohhhhhh)

[CHORUS]
When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever
When lies become the truth (the truth, yeah)
Oh, you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop loving
That’s when I’ll stop loving you
When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever
When lies become the truth
Oh, you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop loving
That’s when I’ll stop loving you
That’s when I’ll stop, babe
When I’ll stop, babe
Loving you

Oh, how time flies… I still remember the days when boy bands were the in thing… Back in the day when music was still sold primarily in cassette form and when black-market piracy was a little less rampant… Girls used to drool and go goo-goo-gaa-gaa over those singer-dancer pretty boys… *lap lap pant pant* Sigh…

Anyways, it’s been ages since I’ve heard this song so I decided to take a trip down memory lane… Downloaded a whole bunch of boy band tunes… Haha… “I’ll never breeeeeaaak your heaaarrrrrttttt!” Haha… Okay okay… Enough heartbreak stories for now… Ignore a line in first verse of this song… I just realised that it says, “And a broken heart is scared of breaking again” Hmmm… True… But… Let’s move in on my favourite topic instead – LOVE! Haha… If you’ve read my earlier posts, they were mostly (okay, fine – entirely) on Love and Relationship… Haha… And I realised that it’s been awhile since I’ve honoured those issues… It’s time for a trip down memory lane… =p

So… I really like this song… I mean, I loved it even last time when I was that little, tiny, kuchi, teeny-bopper… Small little “phi sai”… But now, after looking at it from a different perspective, I’ve grown to love it even more!

I really like the way the songwriter described the extent of his love for his girl – “that’s when I’ll stop loving you”… Somehow or another, most love songs are written in the “active action” form… “I’ll always love you”, “I need you”, “I’ll give my life for you”… Hmmm… How to describe ah? Something like Love of Commission? Haha… But here… The writer used all things impossible to tell his lover that his falling out of love with her is impossible, too! Love of Omission, maybe?

“When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever
When lies become the truth
Oh, you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop loving”

Whatever it is, I like it… It’s different… =)

*frowns*

Darn this song… I’m all swoony now…
