TAM-MY-MUSIC, MY-LIFE

"A melody is like seeing someone for the first time, the physical attraction, sex...but then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics, they're story, who they are underneath. It's the combination of the two that makes it magic" - Sophie

BE DEAF BUT NOT BLINDED TO WHO YOU ARE

I don't know about you but I'm that kinda person who really cares about what others think and feel about me sometimes. I think I care what people I like think about me. 

I mean sometimes when I meet someone new that I feel I really like to befriend, I usually really hope they like me too and you know, sorta hope they don't have anything negative to say.

And most the time, I'm so sensitive about things that it hurts when I hear certain criticism (though there's no doubt, sometimes I get over it real quick haha) but there are times where the sadness lingers.

My sis has this philosophy in life in which she doesn't care about what others think about her because she has this "who needs them anyway" attitude. It's cool in some ways because she doesn't really care and thus, her confidence will not falter no matter what  others say.

But if you are like me and you can't live with knowing people don't like you, you just can't feel good about yourself sometimes. Well my situation is not that bad lar, I still am not that pathetic but what happens sometimes is, people like us tend to try to change who we are just to be accepted.

That's why we need some words of wisdom and inspiration as reminder to get us going and to remind us to always be ourselves no matter what others say.
Haha.

Okay let me introduce this song to you. This is one of my UK song. When I say my UK song, it means I listened to this song a lot when I was walking down the streets of Liverpool. 

Not that I'm very depressed in UK, it's just that I was very into Justin Nozuka at that time. 
I believe many of you might have heard of Justin Nozuka (erm not Justin Bieber okay), Justin Nozuka pens some of the best songs. He has a certain unique style to his songs and I just find his tracks very relaxing and nice to the ears. Plus, he writes meaningfully so the songs are not full of crappy lyrics.



So be prepared to be awed and touched by this song.
I don't know if you think it's dreary or slow, but I think'z' it awesomezz...

It started with a chant that hypnotizes...

Open your eyes
Close your ears
Close your ears
Open your eyes
Listen to the words you see
You are blind to what you hear
Listen to the words you see
Do not fear the truth beneath
Reach for roots beneath the trees
Listen to the words you seek
Don't listen to a word they say
Do NOT listen to a word you've heard
Do not listen to a word you've heard
People are people we live for our own
Live how you think not by what you've been told

I've been a fool
I've been a fool
Walking the line with both of my eyes shut
And I'm begging you I'm begging you
Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
This world is full of strangers this world is full of 'hypocrites'
Scratching for their winnings at least I am one to admit
Born in a world relying on gold
I've yet to find someone under control
People are people and we live for our own
Live how you think not by what you've been told
Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
The flag waves up above you for liberty and freedom
And fighting for your nation killing a wive's daughter's husband's son and you're told that
you're being attacked by terrorist invasions but over and over again it is you who points the gun
Hey now don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen
to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard

If you close your eyes right now
Try to seek a vision you can listen to
A vision of collisions of what you know is true
You can do what you pursue if you only try to
To open your eyes
And listen to the visions colliding with collisions
Collisions on a mission
Risen from what you've listened to
Listen to
No
Don't listen to a word you've heard
Don't listen to a word you've heard
Unless
Unless the word that you've heard is a word that you said
Close your ears to words from out
Unless the word came out your head
Or the word was built with your hands
Close your soul to a voice of a man from a non distant land
Cause that man has a plan to put bullets through your stand
Do you stand under this
Or
Do you stand over this
Do you over stand me
You must not be listening
Its O.K. I understand
Why
I
We
No he,
Told you
But Do
If you have the words inside your self
Then
Listen to the words you hear
Listen to the words you say
Listen to the words you say


Listen to the words you say

Seriously, this Justin is better than the Bieber haha & he is pretty cute too ;P.





Here's Justin doing his live thingy
Artistes  like him sings beautiful in acoustic man!

Alright people!
Til' next time
Don't listen to a word they say so you can basically disregard me also haha.

With Lotsa Love,
TammyC
