July

Chúc mừng sinh nhật, July :) . Ui, 20 tuổi rồi cơ đấy, già rùi già rùi ^^.

Biết sinh nhật cậu muộn quá nên không kịp chuẩn bị quà gì cả. Cho cậu xem tạm cái này vậy :

Sinh nhật vui vẻ nhé :) .

Hi, thật ra đây mới là một nửa "món quà" thôi, tớ định hoàn thành nốt nửa còn lại trong tối sinh nhật cậu nhưng do "trục trặc kĩ thuật" nên đã không đúng như kế hoạch được. Thôi muộn còn hơn không, khám phá nốt nửa còn lại trong hòm mail nhé ;) . Chúc vui :) .

Better Than Me

Tiếp tục Hinder nào (rất buồn cười là mình thường nghĩ đến tên nhóm này với cách đọc "Hin-đơ" - thấy giống giống "Hin-đu" :)), nói thì do có suy nghĩ và kiểm soát nên vẫn nói đúng :D).

Có vẻ mình có chút thích bài này hơn "Without you". Clip thì không thích lắm nên không đăng lên (tuy nhiên có clip thì nội dung bài hát sẽ rõ ràng hơn nhiều, ai muốn có thể xem trên Youtube).

Đầu hàng lyrics bài này :

I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be

I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room

I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would 've said it's over
And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)

Without You

Lộc cộc gõ "Hinder" sau khi nghe "Lips of an angel" bên "Gate to the soul" và thấy bài này đầu tiên. Âm nhạc, vẫn như nhận định ban đầu, "chất". Clip hơi củ chuối chút, nhưng thích cô gái trong đoạn phim :) . Lyrics có vẻ đáng nghe, để nghe kĩ kĩ đã rồi search lyrics sau. Anh chàng vocal đoạn đầu clip trông rất ổn (thích cảnh quay này), đến đoạn sau đứng trước mic thì vẫn thế :)) .

Long Way To Happy

Chiều nay tự dưng nhớ đến bài này, lâu rồi không nghe. Có lẽ là bài của Pink mà mình thấy ổn nhất.

Lời bài hát có chút khó hiểu nhất định đối với mình :-/ .

Trích đoạn lyrics :

It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long, long, long, long way to happy
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
'Cause it's gonna be a long long way to happy

Somene 's Watching Over Me

Mấy hôm nay tự dưng nghe bài này thấy "ngấm", muốn nghe. Mình chẳng biết mình có "found" cái gì "today" không, nhưng đúng là bây giờ nghe khác với lúc mình nghe hồi 11. Mà nghe từ hồi 11 đến giờ vẫn không biết "watch over me" nghĩa là gì, chẳng buồn tra từ điển, cứ hiểu theo ý mình. Tối nay nghĩ cũng nên tra một cái, thấy dịch nghĩa không hay bằng nghĩa theo ý mình =)) .

Hi, lyrics bài này cũng nhẹ nhàng, thích đoạn "Found myself today, oh I found myself and ran away" (câu này hoàn toàn không hiểu :|) với cả đoạn "Seen that ray of light.. Shining on my destiny, shining all the time, and I won't be afraid to follow everywhere it's taking me" (cơ bản là mấy chỗ này nhạc và giọng hay nên ấn tượng luôn cả lời :D). Mấy câu mệnh lệnh thức với tự bạch còn lại thì nghe quá nhiều rồi nên không "xi-nhê" gì lắm, được cái giọng dễ thương nên cũng muốn nghe :) .

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
Voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone 's watching over me

Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I won't be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone 's watching over me

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe...
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me

Someone's watching over me

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

Bài này có vẻ khá hơn :D .
Thử cái skin này của Zing xem sao :)) .

"Try to leave a light on when I'm gone", ấn tượng, mà làm mình nghĩ tới (lại) "Believe" (của S., đương nhiên) :D .

Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn’t be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there’s no point in grieving
Doesn’t matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I’m leaving

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone

You know we’ve been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don’t know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone

Sometimes it feels like we’ve run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You ’ll start my heart again
When I come along

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone

Mấy ngày nay hôm nào cũng ra rả bên tai "Try to leave a light on when I'm gone". Đoạn chorus mình nghe khá hoàn chỉnh, chỉ có từ "alone" là cứ thành "hollow" :| . Đúng ra ở đây nghe "alone" thành "hollow" thì cũng khá vô lý, nhưng chắc là ám ảnh từ "hollow" :D (sau khi nghe "Goodbye my lover" thì khó mà quên được từ này :D).

Nói chung bài này mình hiểu sai hoàn toàn, những chỗ quan trọng nghe sai hết =)) . Nghe lại, nghe lại ^^. Vẫn đáng nghe khủng khiếp.

Hallelujah

Myles Kennedy của Alter Bridge. Mình thích giọng hát của anh ta, tuy đôi lúc hơi buồn thảm hơn mức mình mong muốn. Ờ mà cũng không chắc được.

"Hallelujah" có nhiều bản hay, nhưng hôm nay muốn nghe Myles. Thích đoạn kéo dài và gảy guitar cuối bài :) .

Live High

I try to picture a girl
Through a looking glass
And see her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously

I try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter fact he's not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
Well it's laughter that we're making after all

The call of the wild is still an ordination why
In the order of the primates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is an assembly selling gratitude
And practicing their loving of you

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
orLive high, live mighty
Live righteously

And oh
Let 's take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
Because nothing is ever as it seems
This life is but a dream

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
Let 's take it easy

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
Let 's take it easy

Live high. Live mighty. :) .
Live crazy =)) .
