Adele - Hometown Glory



Really breathtaking... simply wonderful

I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam. I ain't lost, just wandering"

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

3 Years of Blogging!

Wow time flies... Didn't really realize things go by just like that, and as people, other things we have in life also aged and changed: even blogs. Ha. =)

I started to blog since I started University. Before that I never tried blogging. I guess I don't really have anything to say, or just plain too inconvenient (internet access was not that accessible to me, kay). Since then I started my first one in friendster, I started blogging about random things... That is where "What is Life?" is born.

My blog has gone through major incarnations, from different layouts to a different host. From just poetry and life to music videos, youtube stuff, links to my other things and all that jazz.

Hopefully people still reads this blog and I hope I'll update this as often as possible. Ciao!

It's not fair!

You must have been through what I experienced.
He gets the apple while I got the seeds,
I had to follow while she leads,
So I yelled "It's not fair!"

They got chosen just because they are liked,
He gets the looks and and you got none,
She has the smarts, charm and all the fun,
Tell me is life fair to you?

We hear screams of unfairness in this world today,
We also see injustice to an innocent when the other is the culprit,
We felt the blame, rejection and humiliation,
As the others have everything fall on their laps!

Where is the so-called equality, you say?
That is claimed to be kept in spirit?
Maybe justice can only be seen from a higher position,
While we helplessly witness victims fall into their traps!

OneRepublic - Stop and Stare

Really awesome song.... enjoy!



This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see

They're trying to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
Something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

What you need, what you need...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see...

Music of Today

Seriously, we REALLY need to evaluate our daily dose of popular music that has been flooding the airwaves. Music that sells now are not relied on their good sense of musicality or lyrics, instead it is the other way round: It sells 'cause it DOESN'T make sense.

Not that this is something new or anything, it has been around for years already (Blame MTV >_<). Like it or loathe it, music that sells are about sex, cheesiness, or just plain nonsense. Very few of the more meaningful songs do well in the charts, or rarely heard by the public.

I'm not going to point out any names (you can kinda guess who they are), but these people are just the bad apples that tainted the music industry so badly until it is labeled as "trashy" and "meaningless". Worse, some of them spread negative connotations and values that are purely superficial (it's all about the booty!), materialistic (being rich is the only way to happiness) and so on.

And heck, sometimes I can't help myself listening to them sometimes... :P. Anyway, no matter what genre of music you listen to, keep enjoying!
