What Happens To Me

Everyday I think about you
All the time crazy for you
Tell myself, again and again
I'll be patient but then

I feel you deep in my heart
Sell my soul for just one part
Could it be, ooh, that easy
After all you've said to me
You broke my confidence
Took it all, what can you see?
It makes no difference, to you it seems
What happens to me?

Everyday I wake without you
One more way to face what is true
Life goes on, what else can I do?
You're not here 'cause you don't need me
You broke my confidence
Took it all, what can you see?
It makes no difference, to you it seems
What happens to me?

Never had to worry
Didn't need to care
U said you really loved me
But you're not there

Everyday when I think about you
Like a prayer to a child is new
In my thoughts you'll always be
The only one who could make me happy
You broke my confidence
You took it all, what can you see?
It makes no difference, to you it seems
What happens to me?

You broke my confidence...

You 're not here, 'cause you don't need me...
Said you really loved me, but you 're not here...

Walk Like a Man

He said : "Sit down son, we've gotta talk"
I said : "It's my life, I'm gonna do what I want
I'm not gonna crawl, I'm gonna walk
Walk right out that door"

He said "I used to be a lot like you
There's nothing you've done that I didn't do"
I left and said "Dad I'm bulletproof
We've been through this before"

I couldn't believe it
There was a tear in my old man's eye
When I was leaving
He tried to say goodbye

He said stand tall when you stumble
Stay pround when you're humbled
The lessons you learn
Won't be the ones that you plan

And every step up that mountain
Will be more than worth countin'
And when you walk through the valley
May you walk like a man

And now I've seen a couple miles on a gravel road
Been taught a couple things that I didn't know
And yeah, I've even got a kid of my own
Starting to sound a lot like me

I learned a little thing called sacrifice
Givin' up on dreams, lost a couple fights
All anybody wants is a better life
And something to believe

Stand tall when you stumble
Stay pround when you're humbled
All the lessons you learn
Won't be the ones that you plan

Every step up that mountain
Will be more that worth countin'
When you walk through the valley
May you walk like a man

I couldn't believe it
When the tears came to my eyes
It isn't easy
Standing on the other side

I said "Sit down son we gotta talk
Hey it's your life, you're gonna do what you want
I won't say crawl before you walk"
Cause I heard my old man in my mind sayin'

Stand tall when you stumble
Stay pround when you're humbled
All the lessons you learn
Won't be the ones that you plan

And every step up that mountain
Will be more that worth countin'
And when you walk through the valley
May you walk like a man

And when you go on without me
Walk, like a man

Walk on

It 's My Life

This ain't a song for the brokenhearted
No silent prayer for the faith departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, gotta make your own breaks

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

You better stand tall
When they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break
Baby, don't back down

It's my life
It's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

Stairway to Heaven

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows,
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook,
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,
Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by,
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

Bon Jovi :x

Ôi, hạnh phúc quá :) .

Vừa xem một loạt bài hát của Bon Jovi trên Youtube. Giọng hát thật tuyệt :). Đặc biệt là bài "Make a memory"... Ôi trời ơi, sao mà trầm ấm, quyến rũ "If you don't know, If you should stay...", hu hu :x.

Mình nghe một loạt các buổi trình diễn "Make a memory" khác nhau của Bon Jovi, lần nào cũng thật tuyệt, nghe mãi không chán >.< . Nhưng lạ thật, hình như mình thích nghe Jon hát live bài này hơn là nghe bản phòng thu. Hát live nghe đầy cảm xúc :x. Hu hu, trái tim mình cứ như chảy ra theo từng lời ca :( . Đẹp quá. Thật đồng cảm và ghen tị với mấy bà chị đang hò reo đầy nhiệt tình.

Mà phải công nhận Jon đẹp trai thật, cười một cái thì cứ gọi là... Trước đây cũng thấy đẹp rồi, nhưng thấy trong clip có vẻ hơi chải chuốt. Bây giờ nhìn tự nhiên lại càng thấy đẹp hơn, nụ cười không những quyến rũ mà còn có vẻ rất dịu dàng ^^.

Một "It 's my life" khá đặc biệt. Lúc mới nghe đoạn đầu mình ngạc nhiên thấy tông giọng khá thấp, không khớp với nhạc lắm. Nghe cũng được, khá lạ, nhưng không hay bằng bản phòng thu. Sau đó mới đọc mấy dòng comment phía dưới, thấy có đứa nói là Jon bị ốm nên giọng mới yếu thế, bắt đầu hiểu ra. Ôi, thích Bon Jovi thế không biết . Cảm động :'( . Đúng là trông Jon có vẻ hơi mệt, nhưng đoạn sau vẫn hát khá tốt, "máu" không thua bản phòng thu mấy. Điều mọi người đều ghi nhận là tinh thần hát live của Bon Jovi, dù giọng không tốt như bình thường nhưng vẫn hát hết sức mình cho người hâm mộ chứ không lip-sinc. Như thế lại càng làm mình thích hơn, thấy được rằng dù bị ốm giọng Jon vẫn hay :).

Đặc biệt cũng trong buổi này (nghĩa là buổi bị ốm) Jon hát "Make a memory" và đây lại là bản "Make a memory" mình thích nhất :). Có cảm giác khi bị ốm giọng lại càng quyến rũ >.<, ấm cực kì.

Thích Bon Jovi quá, đang nghĩ xem có nên đặt "Make a memory" làm URL đoạn nhạc không :D.

Civil War

"What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men." *


Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before


Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before


My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars


D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land


And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war


Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more


My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars


"We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer" **


I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war


I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
