MotW aka. Music of the Week:

At Least We’re Dreaming

Eve 6

When do we get to the part where I can go home,
Been hiding inside the jungle gym for way too long
Waiting for someone to come along and find me.
Live in an apartment that bums me out
It don’t get better when the lights go out
Waiting for someone to come along and find me.
Swimming through the aisles at the grocery store
I don’t even know what I’m lookin for
Waiting for someone to come along and find me.

At least I’m breathing
At least I’m alive
As long as I’m dreaming
Everything’s gonna be all right.

Down to the corner to call collect
Your mother wants to know are you happy yet
Waiting for someone to come along and find you.
Going out at night looking for distraction
Sleeping through the day there’s no redemption
Waiting for someone to come along and find you.

At least you’re breathing
At least you’re alive
As long as you’re dreaming
Everything’s gonna be all right.

I’m all right, I tell myself twice
In the mirror before I can’t go to sleep at night
I need a lullaby I need some time
I need to get a dime bag from my guy

Well, that’s the fact, at least I am dreaming…

Current OST of my life: Please Stand Up British Sea Power Take me somewhere quiet please These motorway exit gates Are calling to me dearly And I need a place to go And even numbers on a timetable Arrivals and departures and Those places, names Never seemed so strange before If there’s anyone asking, did you get a rush? There’s no point in asking, it wasn’t enough There’s nobody else here, so please stand up If there’s anyone asking, did you get a rush? There’s no point in asking, it wasn’t enough There’s nobody else here, so please stand up / Read more …

Whacked. Have you been watching the blogosphere lately? If you do then this entry is not unfamiliar with you. *drumroll* Musical Baton!. Echa whacked me with the baton. So, what could I do then? Consider this as a thesis writing break then, Total volume of music files on my computer: 4.60GB The last CD I bought was: Almost 2 years ago… Now I am using iTunes Music Store. “Nirmana” by Cozy Street Corner Song playing right now: "Dakota" by Stereophonics Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me: This is my recent “rotation”, my / Read more …

Unlike Jason Kottke and other fellow bloggers who suffered earworm syndrome with Since U Been Gone#[1], my earworm of the week is “Life Less Ordinary” by Carbon Leaf. Life Less Ordinary Carbon Leaf Live a life less ordinary Live a life extraordinary with me Live a life less sedentary Live a life evolutionary with me Well, I hate to be a bother but It’s you and there’s no other, I do believe You can call me naïve, but I know me very well at least As far as I can tell and I know what I need That night you / Read more …

Been wondering about this Indonesian band for a while. I was beginning to think that they were disbanded or just vanished into the void. Looks like I was wrong. They are still exist and launch a new website and a new song! You could download the song from their website. Great. For those who read this website for a while would know how I love this band so much. They have a unique and not-so-mainstream musical taste. Their solid performance live and in the recording is one of their many strength. Their new song still hold their spirit and unique / Read more …

I don’t know why I listened to this song more than often nowadays. The lyric seems stucked on my head. Ohrwurm, Germans used to say, . Thesis Writing Syndrome perhaps? Ironic Alanis Morissette An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late Isn’t it ironic… don’t you think It’s like rain on your wedding day It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take Who would’ve thought… it figures Mr. Play / Read more …

Yes, another lyric to get on with my life… (or just an excuse to write an entry while busy like bees) Deep Binocular So this is what you mean And this is how you feel So this is how you see And this is how you breathe Sometimes I know Sometimes I go down deep Oh Beneath the deep blue sea Touching every breath All a slight off hand For everything you left Sometimes I know Sometimes I go down deep Oh / Read more …

After midnight soundtrack. Been busy lately. Somewhere only we know Keane I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing where have you gone I’m getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you’re gonna let me in I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to / Read more …

Somehow, the song is not enough to show how exactly how I feel… But since I am not a good writer so I prefer to take a song lyric to show it… Here’s for you ;) For You The Calling I am a vision, I am justice Never thought that I could love Living in shadows, faded existence It was never good enough Within the darkness, you are the light That shines away You’re trapped in violence, I can be the man Who saves the day I’m there for you No matter what I’m there for you Never giving up / Read more …

This part of lyric is for someone, you know who you are… Belong Deccatree If you’re looking for some inspiration Somewhere to belong Don’t be looking too far I never had an indication that anything was ever wrong This is where you belong Anybody knows the full lyrics? This is the time when “googling” doesn’t work =) / Read more …

Cozy Street Corner’s second album Nirmana (which first album goes beyond my radar and I still can’t get it now… Anybody care to help me?) is a mixed bag of a very wide variety kind of music. It will be a very absurd effort to fit CSC’s music into any kind of popular genre because I believe is not the kind of music CSC is creating. / Read more …

just watch the performance of cozy street corner at QB World Kemang. well. for me they bring a refreshment in the middle of repetitious melody from other indonesia's music band. just like their name, their music is 'cozy'... a well done music with great skill on instrument and a smart and witty lyrics. a great choice to listen in the lazy sunday afternoon and reading a good book. listen to their sample song at their website. i'll be watching for their performance again... recommended. kuhirup kurasa semuanya yang indah kuingin sampaikan padamu kudengar kulihat semuanya yang indah kuingin sampaikan padamu / Read more …
