If only I could do this

After watching this clip on the net, I found a new desire to play a piece such as this.

Life is Beautiful

Indeed this song has been playing non-stop on my iPod thanks to Aunty Ooi for introducing this song to me. The lyrics just speak right straight to me, "Life is beautiful, but its complicated. We barely make it, we don't need to understand it, there are miracles". It just boggles the mind that such a simple statement can make complicated and stressful things disappear. Well not entirely disappear but you feel less stressed about it. Either that or I am just living in a dream world right now.



Life is Beautiful - Vega4

Life is beautiful
We live until we die

When you run into my arms
We steal a perfect moment
Let the monsters see you smile
Let them see you smiling

Do I hold you too tightly?
When will the hurt kick in?

Life is beautiful
But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand
There are miracles
Miracles

Yeah, life is beautiful
Our hearts
They beat and break

When you run away from harm
Will you run back into my arms?
Like you did when you were young
Will you come back to me?

And I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in

Life is beautiful
But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand
There are miracles
Miracles

Stand
Where you are
We let all these moments
Pass us by

It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can can give

It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can give

Yesterdays by Switchfoot

Lately I have been listening to this song quite a fair bit on my iPod. The lyrics doesn't seem to suit me of course because I haven't lost anyone for that matter but the tune, arrghhh, its playing through my head quite often. So enjoy, "Yesterdays" by Switchfoot.

SWITCHFOOT - Oh! Gravity
"Yesterdays"

Flowers cut and brought inside
Black cars in a single line
Your family in suits and ties
And you're free

The ache I feel inside
Is where the life has left your eyes
I'm alone for our last goodbye
But you're free

I remember you like yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone, oh...
I remember you like yesterday, yesterday
And until I'm with you, I'll carry on

Adrift on your ocean floor
I feel weightless, numb, and sore
A part of you in me is torn
And you're free

I woke from a dream last night
I dreamt that you were by my side
Reminding me I still had life
In me

I'll carry on

Every lament is a love song
Yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone
So long my friend, so long

p.s. I just realised that this song seems to be a rather sad song and talks about a passing of someone. In any way, the lyrics does not reflect what I feel right now but I just like the tune of the song!

Pass the Awakening

I stumbled upon this on the web when I was checking out Switchfoot's website and it is their new single! Even right now as I listen to it, I think its great. Definitely a great preview to their upcoming album?



Song dynamics are superb offering a wonderful blend of high and low tones throughout the song peaking at certain parts of the song.
