ひとりの夜もそばにいようぜ　君と僕の歌を歌う

I want this dream because...

Because I want to live this dream.

because.

I want my parents' sacrifices for my life be worth it.
I want them to have something to tell their friends, at least it wouldn't be the sad tale of "She's a part time teacher".
I want all that they have given for me to mean something to them. To let them feel that it was all worth it.

because.

I want all the stupid choices I have made in my life to be proven to be the right ones.
I want all the wrong choices that I have made regarding my career to be worth the mistakes.

because.
I want to be able to lift my head and not doubt in my belief in life.

that life is infinite. that life is beautiful. that you can make your life into anything you want it to.


I want to be proven right.

To be proven that there IS power in dreams, in believing, in learning to dream and to want more in this life.

That's what I want to be, you know, to let my friends know, that..

that those stupid songs we used to listen to as kids, those songs we heard and were inspired by in life... that they are real.

life can change and you're not stuck in vain
the impossible is possible tonight

It's funny how your dreams
Change as you're growing old
You don't wanna be no spaceman
You just want the gold
All the dream stealers
Are lying in wait
But if you wanna be a spaceman
It's still not too late

Well it's alright
And It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right
Do you still feel like me
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
About common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town.


I want to believe in all that. And I want others to believe in all that.

To believe in the power of their dreams.

And not to surrender them in growing up.


I want, Lord, I wish for my dream to come true for all these selfish reasons.

Because it's part of who I am.

To give up, to ask me to give up on this, is to ask me to give up all that I've ever believed in life, about life...

and I can't do that.

And I want so much for this dream to happen,

because, I need to know that my belief is right.

That this world, this life, can be just so much more...

and I'm not just a daydream believer fool.


I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan


Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever

Really happy with the amount of bands and music I checked out this week.

Had been an INCREDIBLY international week! Well... international coz there were Korean bands, Russian bands (DAMN GREAT), Chinese bands (whereby ROCK MUSIC doesn't exist in this language), British bands, American bands and of course, Japanese bands =)

Will be sending in the ones I liked.

=)


That said though, looking for music is an incredibly daunting task because it's just a neverending gargantuan endeavor looking for more and more and more bands because one band will lead you to 10 other and the 10 others will lead you to another 10 others each. And then you realize "oh wow, there's a whole other country's indie rock bands I could check out" and then you suddenly realize, oh damn! there is just an infinite number of bands out there! Japanese, English, Korean, German, Russian, Swedish, French, EVERYTHING... It's just IMPOSSIBLE to check them all out!!

But I want to at least try the best I can to check out as many as I can.

I probably have 10 tabs opened to 10 different websites with listings and links to hundreds of bands... AND ACTUALLY though, most of the time 9 times out of 10, the bands actually SUCK.... BUTTTTT BUTTTT... just for that one tiny little chance, you just won't know, there's just this one INCREDIBLY amazing band out there or just one INCREDIBLY amazing song out there that would just blow your mind and take your breath away, you just NEVER KNOW.

And for that ONE band, that ONE song, I continue to search in HOPES and ANTICIPATION that I will be lucky enough to score a chance of finding a band or a song like that!

Well, today, my last.fm neighbors had 1 band in common androp. So decided to check them out. Nothing available online except myspace music and someone did some tracks on mp3tube.

Anyway, quite good but I thought they sounded TOOOOOO much like People in the Box though, who, by the way, it seems, just released a new EP today, Sky Mouth. Have got the album will check it out soon.

Pure Love.


My top top top Art-School songs:
君はいま光の中に
水の中のナイフ
僕が君だったら
rasberry (This is not an art-school song, it was on Riki Kinoshita's very first solo demo album before art-school)

Forever love, any time, any day, any mood, any feelings... These tracks are almost unskippable. PURE LOVE!

OTHER AWESOMELY LOVED TRACKS!
Love Letter Box
Missing
Hikari to Karada
Lovers Lover
Flower
Close Your Eyes
Ghost of a Beautiful View
Scarlet
14Souls
Roller Coaster


I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY love Mizu no Naka no Knife... I think it's like the most kick ass song ever!!! REALLYI It's like a..... ride, you know? listening to that song! Seriously! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!

But I think the Art-School song I love the most is Kimi wa Ima Hikari no Naka ni... I feel it is a song that is very very very different from art-school's usual music repertoire. Simple amazing amazing amazing amazingly beautiful and perfectly made.

That said, it's weird but Riki Kinoshita's raspberry is also one of my overall favourite tracks. It's very rare I'd skip this track, not just coz it's art-school or whatever but like in overall general sense of all the songs I have... I just has a really really catchy and rocking out tune to it, you know!!

YEAP!

Sorry, no new bands checked out last week.... Was checking out manga instead.... ahahhahaha...

YEAP!

So I was TRYING to get a hold of English Blade of the Immortal beyond Volume 22... it was IMPOSSIBLE.

Then i ended up reading Samurai Deeper Kyo... It's quite cool but it's like so mysterious and stuff and the story progresses a little too slow.. So I just stopped halfway... I mean, it's good but not compelling... I couldn't stop reading till volume 14, of course but... the fact is that... I DID stop. Which, if it was an EXCELLENT A++ manga, I wouldn't have stopped, right???

Like i ESPECIALLY remember reading Rurouni Kenshin... DUDE, I practically sat a 48 hour session finished the entire series. I STILLLLL remember, I was reading over the weekend and came monday, I was at like volume 24, and I really didn't want to stop but I had my California Politics class!! SOOOOOO I HAD TO STOP and dragged myself to campus for that 50 minute 10am class... After which I rushed back home to continue the story to the end before my next class in the afternoon!!!

THAT is addictive! And an EXCELLENT A++ series!


Black Cat too was read in one whole session.

ANOTHER Excellent A++ series.
