I'M NOT MOVING

Okay, call me pathetic (PATHETIC), but you gotta admit that this song is darn romantic right?

What if a guy waited for you all these years, at the corner of the street where you two met?

Oh come on, that is sweet...

But at the same time, I feel sad for the dude if the girl has really moved on with her life.

This song is beautifully written...great choice of words I must say. A story told in the best possible words. Love it! 

Rhyming is excellent....

I know this song was popular some time back and I'm sorta like the late 'adopter' so to speak, but seriously, it's never too late for a good song.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,

Gonna camp in my sleeping back, I'm not gonna move,

Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand,

Saying if you see this girl, can you tell her where I am

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand

I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man,

I know it makes no sense, what else can I do

How can I move on

If I'm still in love with you

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me

And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be

Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we meet

And you'll see me waiting for you at the corner of the street

So I'm not moving, I'm not moving....

Policeman says, "Son you can't stay here"

I say there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month or a year,

Gotta stand my grounds even if it rains or snows

If she changes her mind, this is the first place she will go

People talk about the guy, who's waiting on a girl

There are no holes in his shoes, but a big hole in his world

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved

And maybe you don't mean to but you'll see me on the news

And you'll come running to the corner

'Cause you'll know it's just for you

So I'm not moving...........

I don't know why but I feel sad listening to this song. It's a sad song...if you are a pessimist, like me.

And I'm always touched when someone does something beautiful for the person he/she loves.

A guy who would wait for you, on the corner of the street you meet? Oh well, I mean I know for sure that not all guys would do that, but I guess there is always one jewel among the other crap. 

I don't expect guys to do special things like this for me, but when I see some guys doing such beautiful things for the woman they love, I can't help but feel really touched. Oh hello, I'm still a girl and every girl has that romantic fairytale side in them whereby they wish for a prince charming. But of course, as we grow up, we've learned to accept the harsh reality. Nevertheless, there are a few lucky ones who manage to find Prince Charming. :)

"The Man Who Can't Be Moved" is one of those great guys out there...

I TRAVELED BECAUSE OF LOVE

A song worth sharing.

I seldom share Malay songs, I guess there are really none worth sharing so far.

But this one is one of my favourite.

I forgot about it, can you believe it?

The other day, I was honoured to be invited to an Australian Annual Gala dinner, and had the pleasure of being serenaded by Ning Baizura as she was the guest performer.

When she introduces that she is going to sing this song, I was ecstatic! Can't believe that I actually have the privilege of being in the presence of such an iconic singer, and singing one of my favourite songs by her.

The great thing is, this lady can really sing. She was fantastic live, it's unbelievable!!

I think I'm most proudest when the Australians actually complimented her. 

I forgot how touching this video is.

It is about chasing your dreams. 

It is about loving your dreams.

It is about loving your family members.

Kerana cinta 

(Because of love)

Aku kembara

(I traveled)

Bagai camar

(Like a gull)

Melintas laut

(Flying across the sea)

Mencari pohon 

(Looking for a tree)

Untuk berteduh

(For a quite shade)

Kerana cinta

Aku kembara

Mengikut lagu

(Following a song)

Bisikan hati

(A heart's whisper)

Mendamba kasih paling setia

(Yearning for the most honest love)

Sepasang sayap tak terlihat

(An unseen pair of wings)

Umpama mimpi yang tersimpan

(Is like a hidden dream)

Jadi rintik-rintik hujan

(They become tiny droplets of rain)

Menciptakan 

(creating)

Awan yang terpilu

(The saddest clouds)

Puisi ini

(This poem) 

Tercipta lantas

(was then create because)

Tak kesampaian Hayat meronakan

(I couldn't express)

Gelora rindu Ku kepadamu

((how much I missed you)

Chorus...

Ingin sekali Aku ungkapi

(I really wanted to express...)

Isyarat jiwa

(what is in my soul)

Dengan sempurna

(perfectly)

Biarkan kau mengerti

(So that you could understand)

Biarkan kau sedari

(So that you would know)

Keadaanku yang memujamu

(How much I adore you)

The music video is about Ning following her dreams of becoming a singer, despite her father's objections.

She did not get her father's blessings to pursue her music career, but she went on as well, although deep in her heart, she has always been waiting for the day her father forgives her.

It's hard to have to choose between two loves, but I guess sometimes, choices have to be done.

Sometimes, I guess our loved ones doesn't get our passion, and what we love to do...

Sometimes, they do not show us they care for us...but they do.

Perhaps sometimes it's just hard to express our love for each other, but deep down, our love for our family lasts forever...

LOOKING FOR THAT PILLAR

Life is tougher and tougher.

I'm facing challenges that I am struggling to overcome.

I'm trying hard to be positive and learn from the hardship that is overwhelming to me.

Trying to cope with my problem of not being to sleep normally, eat healthily and keep myself living a happier lifestyle. 

Is life supposed to be this way?

Perhaps yes...Perhaps a life full of obstacles is a good one; perhaps if you feel so tense that it's almost unbearable, it is a good thing...

But I'm very tired ...not physically...

I think more like mentally and emotionally...I am tired of pushing myself to go through this.

I guess I'm weak.

And at times like these...

I need a song to push me through, and I found the perfect song on Glee this week.

As I lay me down

Heaven hear me now

I'm lost without a cause

After giving it my all

Winter storms have come

And darkened my sun

After all that I've been through

Who can I turn to?

I look to you

I look to you

After all my strength is gone

In you I can be strong

I look to you

I look to you

And when melodies are gone

In you I hear a song

I look to you

About to lose my breath

There's no more fighting left

Sinking to rise no more

Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken

Left to my regret

And I don't know if I'm going to make it

Nothing to do but lift my head

My levee's have broken

My doors have come crumbling down on me

The rain is falling, defeat is calling

I need you to set me free

Take me far away from the battle

I need you, shine on me

The song describes exactly how I'm feeling 

And I'm desperately needing someone to tell me that things will be okay again; that I will go through this, because I am seriously losing grip.

I need someone to shine a light and tell me and lead me and let me know that I'm traveling down the direction I want to go...

Right now, I can only pray and do my best.

It will be over soon.

I'll move on.

With Lotsa Love

ONLY EXCEPTION

If you a person who is skeptical in love, you'd appreciate this song. You wish that there's that one person who is the only exception, the one who can bring you that happiness that you've wished for and longed for.

I love this song the moment I heard it.

It's the only famous Paramore song that I enjoy and actually can say I love.

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind

He broke his own heart as I watched

As he try to reassemble it

My momma swore she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promise

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

I've seen many people broke up and hurt themselves as they try to get back on track and find that person worth loving again.

I am too fragile to have my heart broken like that and perhaps that's why I never try to get into relationships.

Darling

You are the only exception...

Maybe I know somewhere

Deep in my soul that love never lasts

We gotta find other ways

To make it alone

Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this

Keep a comfortable distance

And up until now

I have sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

This verse perfectly describe how I see relationships and love.

I admit that I never believe that love lasts, maybe because I have seen and experience what it's like to see people around me change and I realized that I also change. 

Nothing lasts. Happy moments are only as good as it gets for now but in future, it might be lost and what is left are only memories of what we once have. At the rate that feelings and emotions change, I really am starting to believe more and more that nothing lasts - not friendship and not love. 

It has always made me feel sad that things have to change...and I guess that's why I never took the leap of faith in love. I try to force myself to believe that perhaps being single and alone is ok, I should be contented although there were times of loneliness in which I wished that there were someone.

But then, I'm too worried of getting hurt...

If there's someone out there, I can only hope that I'd take that leap and believe again...someone who's the only exception I guess...

You are the only exception...

Ohhhhh

I've got a tight grip on reality

But I can't

Let go of what's in front of me here

I know you are leaving in the morning 

When you wake up

Leave me with some kinda proof that it's not a dream...

You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing...

For now, I shall just leave you with this lovely expression of love.

One that touches my heart, especially when Rachel sang it to Finn in the last scene of Episode 2 in Glee.

I wish that one day I could find my only exception.

WHEN YOU'VE FOUND THE ONE YOUR LOOKING FOR

What if one day, you meet that single person whom you feel that you are meant to be with and doesn't know how to tell him/her?

I've got the right song for you.

Personally, I do not need to use this song yet, but I guess I would if when I meet the right guy who is worth me singing this song to.

I was in Langkawi when I truly felt this song and fell in love with it.

I was traveling along a road at night and had the sound of "Hello" in my ears.

That moment...I truly listened to the lyrics and what it is all about and it touched my heart.

I guess anyone who is desperately in love with someone and can't seem to express those words would appreciate the song. Sadly, there is no one I can relate to with this song at the moment but still, the way it was sang by the cast of Glee gives me chills!

Jonathan Groff, although portraying a cruel character in Glee has got the voice and I am really in love with his delivery of "Hello". This song was originally sung by Lionel Richie, but no matter what you say about me, Glee's version is better hahahaha!

Enjoy...

I've been alone with you inside my mind

And in my dreams,

I've kissed your lips 

A thousand times

I sometimes see you pass outside my door

Hello,

Is it me your looking for?

I can see it in your eyes

I can see it in your smile

you;re all I ever wanted

And my arms are open wide

'cause you know just what to say

And you know just what to do

And I want to tell you so much

I love you..

I long to see the sunlight in your hair

And tell you time and time again

How much I care

Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow

Hello

I've just got to let you know

'cause I wonder where you are

And I wonder what you do

Are you somewhere feeling lonely

Or is someone loving you?

Tell me how to win your heart

For I haven't got a clue

But let me start by saying 

I love you...

With Lotsa Love,

TammyC

To my future Cory Monteith, "I Love You!" 

THE PRINCESS OF DREAMS

Funny how music plays such an important part in my life now and I don't even take the time to write about it anymore.

I love the sounds of We The King's the moment the song "Check Yes Juliet" rocked the airwaves.

Their music always give me this special feeling, in which I feel that I'm out of this world!

Their music carries a faster pace but at the same time romantic!

Their latest single featuring Demi Lovato has once again made its way to my favourite songs list.

Nothing particularly memorable about the song but I guess it is a song about reminiscing, and reminiscing the good old days is what I like to do most.

There are many college days that I'd like to relive, moments that I'll go through over and over again...without any complains.

So here's to those days!

Do you remember the nights 

We'd stay up just laughing 

Smiling for hours at anything 

Remember the nights 

We drove around crazy in love 

I remember the nights in Liverpool, the nights were I watched Big Brother with my housemates and we'd do crazy stuff...

I remember pulling my hair out, doing assignments...while watching "How I Met Your Mother"...

I remember the production of our final year project...endless, sleepless nights of nothing but fun...

I remember all the good times and although the bad, but the bad were just bittersweet...

When the lights go out, we'll be safe and sound 

We'll take control of the world 

Like it's all we have to hold on to 

And we'll be a dream 

Do you remember the nights 

We made our way dreaming 

Hoping of being someone big 

We're so young then 

We were too crazy in love 

When the lights go out, we'll be safe and sound 

We'll take control of the world 

Like it's all we have to hold on to 

And we'll be a dream 

Woah, woah, woah... 

Woah, woah, oh... 

When the lights go out, we'll be safe and sound 

We'll take control of the world 

Like it's all we have to hold on to 

And we'll be 

When the lights go out, we'll be safe and sound 

We'll take control of the world 

Like it's all we have to hold on to 

And we'll be a dream

Many times, I wish that I could live in my own dream, like in Inception...

We'll be a dream...my friends....and you will be with me...

Enjoy

With Lotsa Love,

TammyC

T STORY

So I'm not sure how many of you have heard this cute rap song by Taylor Swift, a parody of Love Story, by the name of Thug Story.

It was released quite some time ago but I just didn't share it. It is a very cool song in which Swift collaborated with T-Pain for the MTV Music Award (if I got my facts right).

So ya, I realized that Taylor Swift does a pretty cool job rapping. 

Her version was brilliant but I guess I'd like to also share my version, tailored to tell a bit about ...well, my story, although, most parts were just taken from Taylor Swift...muahahaha.

Enjoy.

I’m only 4 feet tall, black hair to the floor,

You shorties never thought I’d dream about rapping hard core

No I ain’t gotta gun,

No I've never really been in a club

Still live with my parents but I’m still a thug

I’m so gangster you will see me always smile in delight

You out clubbing?

But I just watch my TV at night

T-C and T-Swift singing on the same track

It’s a thug story

Tell me can you handle that

I had a dream last night

I had cute pink Nikes

I had diamonds in my mouth

And diamonds on my mic

By the time I woke

I was singing I’m gonna rock the world…oh oh

Cuz I’m a

Lil’ girl turn rapper

(shorty i'm gonna make ya)

Straight to the top yo!

(shorty i'm gonna take ya)

You can T-C now I’m a rap star

(Hey it's a T story now, tell them who you are...

Shorty turn rapper)

Oh you don’t wanna fight me

(She's extra darn short)

In my extra small white T

T-C and T-Swift now on the same track

It's a T story now can you get with that...

What? what? …I have my bolster yo!

What? What? It's call...*beep*

(Oh well, it's call Stylo Mylo)

Lotsa Love
Tammyc
Peace out~ 

YOURS FAITHFULLY

Faithful.................

One word which denotes a concept that many wished that their partner would adhere to.

Faithfully

A song in which I wish to share.

I believe this track has been on the US Top 40 charts for the past few weeks (if I'm not mistaken) due to the popularization by the cast of Glee. I fell in love with the song when I watched Lea Michelle who played Rachel and Cory Monteith who played Finn in Glee marched out of that concert door, first in a very subtle but touching voice before blasting the stereos with their climatic but wonderful rendition of Journey's "Faithfully". The feeling the song gave me, was indescribable for some reason - it definitely created the climatic moment for that particular last episode of Glee.

In the beginning, I love the song because when I listen to it, I feel a connection to the cast of Glee and their journey. Its melody also somehow touches me in a good kind of weird way.

But then after listening to its lyrics, I appreciate the song for its meaning, brilliantly describing a feeling of love that I never had for someone, but then, wished I could feel for someone. 

My take on the song is how a musician describes being loved by a woman and because she sacrificed so much for him, he sort of vowed that he will be forever hers, faithfully.

When I listen to this song, I like to imagine myself as the girl who fell in love with a guy who is a musician and then relate it to how our love is for one another.

Faithfully

Highway run

Into the midnight sun

Wheels go round and round 

You're on my mind

Restless hearts

Sleep alone tonight

Sending all my love along the wire

I love how the first two verses narrate in perfect imagery of a man who is constantly on the road, traveling, but is always thinking about the girl he loves, who is waiting faithfully back home for his next return. At night, the man sleeps alone, unable to physically show his love for the woman he loves, but he does it only through the telephone....

They say the road ain't no place to start a family

Right down the line it's been you and me

And loving a music man ain't always what's supposed to be

Oh girl, you stand by me

I'm forever yours

Faithfully...

Since the man is constantly traveling, the woman perhaps felt that it won't be ideal to have a child grow up without a father who is always there, and thus, sacrificing her rights of being a mother.  

I feel that the man truly felt touched by how the woman is still so loyal to him and would make such difficult decisions, such as to not mother a child, just to be with him.

Circus life

Under the big top world 

We all need the clowns to us smile

Through space and time

Always another show

Wondering where I am 

Lost without you

It's not always fun to be a performer. Imagine being sad but having to still put on that smiling face. And the things that were once done because of passion, has become meaningless repetitions. The man ponders that without the love of the woman, he won't know what purpose he has in the world.

And being part ain't easy on this love affair

Two strangers learn to fall in love again

I get the joy of rediscovering you

Oh girl, you stand by me

I'm forever yours

Faithfully...

I love this verse because I feel that it is very true.

If my husband were a traveling man, every time he comes back after a long time, I guess my love for him would be stronger. We're like strangers who will learn to fall in love again and it'll be like seeing that guy for the first time all over again...and although for some, that might not work out, I guess for this man, he loves the feeling of being able to rediscover the woman he loves again.

For me, I think that would be a beautiful thing too. Sometimes when you are seeing that someone 24-7, you just get so bored and your partner will slowly get on your nerves. But not seeing someone often makes you realize how badly you miss and love that person, strengthening the bond and the love relationships between the couple. 

This is one of my favourite Glee song among the other splendid tunes.

Say what you want about Glee but it is one of the best TV series ever!

I shall leave you with Glee's "Faithfully"...in which I'm faithfully listening to...

P/S: Can't stressed enough that Finn is hot

The full song...

With Lotsa Love,

And Faithfully...
