Fun Size & Pitch Perfect

Click for online movie

Both of these movies have such cool soundtracks. From Fun Size, my favourites are ‘Love Is Greed’ and ‘It’s Not My Fault, I’m Happy’ by Passion Pit and ‘Where The Kids Are’ by Blondfire. Here’s the full list of Fun Size soundtracks.

And quite a lot of songs from Pitch Perfect…but the songs are mostly the ones that I’ve heard before. But I’d like to highlight this one particular song. I’ve heard it on Vampire Diaries before and when it came up in the movie, I was like “I know this song!!” ;p

Oh I forgot to tell you the song title LOL. It’s Punching In A Dream by The Naked And Famous.

 

 

 

 

We Can Learn To Love Again (Just Give Me A Reason-Pink)

3 Jan

I love this song so much, I couldn’t stop playing it over and over again :’)

 

Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren’t all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you’ve been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you’ve had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It’s in the stars
It’s been written in the scars on our hearts
We’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I’m sorry I don’t understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin’
And it’s all in your mind
(Yeah but this is happenin’)
You’ve been havin’ real bad dreams oh oh
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
There’s nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You’re still written in the scars on my heart
You’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh tear ducts and rust
I’ll fix it for us
We’re collecting dust
But our love’s enough
You’re holding it in
You’re pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We’ll come clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It’s in the stars
It’s been written in the scars on our hearts
That we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It’s in the stars
It’s been written in the scars on our hearts
That we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh oh, that we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

 

My Good Listens (December 2012)

26 Dec

These first 2 are my favourites among other Alex Goot’s covers:

 

 

Stand, a song I only discovered. The lyrics are meaningful, it’s brilliant, I just love it.

 

 

What can I say about this one…uhmm…it’s catchy! Just like other MT songs

 

And Melee’s Built To Last, how could anyone not love this song? I just discovered this lounge version a few days ago ;)

 

Hugs and kisses!
-A-

 

Shae – Sayang

17 Dec

 

After a few plays, this song is stucked in my head and that forced me to search for the piano sheet. Unfortunately, there is none at the moment. But I found a few guitar tabs.

So I used that to play it on my keyboard. It worked! Hahah! I’ve never used any guitar tabs to play the chords on the piano :p

Here it is:

Capo at 3rd Fret

C      G
Sayang apa khabar dengan mu
Am      Em
Di sini ku merindukan kamu
F    C
Ku harap cinta mu takkan berubah
Dm      G
Kerna di sini ku tetap untukmu

C    G
Sayang apa khabar dengan mu
Am  Em
Cobalah kamu telepon diriku
F   C
Ku rindu dengar suara indahmu
Dm   G
Kerna dirimulah semangat hidupku

#Chorus

F-G- C 
Sayang dengarlah permintaan ku
F -G - C
Jangan ragu kan cintaku
F  G  C
Sayang percayalah apa kataku
 D    G
Kerna ku sayang kamu
C    G
Sayang dengarlah permintaanku
Am   Em
Jaga hatimu untukku
F  
Sayang dengarlah bisikan hatiku
Dm  G
Kerna ku sayang kamu


Kate Booye & Startisan

17 Oct

Hi! This is going to be another random post. I was just browsing through my blog and decided to post about my recent obsessions.  And they are some songs by Kate Booye and a band named Startisan.

 

And in case you were wondering, no, I do not watch The Lying Games. Back in my summer 2012 hols, I watched some movies (well, a lot actually) and as usual, I would dig the soundtracks. I wasn’t actually looking for this song, I was looking for some other song and I just bumped into this one!

Next will be the songs from Startisan. I knew this band from a movie, Never Back Down 2. The song played in the movie was ‘Just’. From there, I listened to the rest of their songs and man, they’re good! My favorites are of course Just, Quit or Run, Hurricane and Bombs Away. And I suggest you to really look at the lyrics ;)

 

Heard the calling, got the hell out
Now I’m tired of treading water
I’ve been dead set on these big dreams
and I’m plotting all my surefire schemes

you tell me, “you’re far too old
to stand on a glass earth throwing stones
put all of your faith in hope”
I’ve drained my soul to keep me just

Hanging on, to keep me hanging on
To keep me just…

I’ve been falling through the dream mine
And I’m hoping at the bottom
All the mountains of coins I’ve thrown
Have bought the wish I cast them for

And it won’t be a reap-less sow
Don’t tell me, “this garden won’t grow hope,
you’ll bear only rose-less thorns”
enough’s been born to keep me just

Hanging on, to keep me hanging on
To keep me just…

Don’t fail me you’re all I know
Don’t leave me desperate and alone
When all other light is gone
A single spark is all I need

To keep whole the earth below
To dig down for life beneath the snow
To carry, to carry on, to carry on,
to keep me just…

Hanging on, to keep me hanging on
To keep me just…

 

‘This ain’t the life I’d planned
Man I sank so quickly
I’m drowning on dry land’

Shut your mouth,
You haven’t drowned,
You’re only 3 feet under ground
You’re giving up before
The Reaper’s at your door

Push to shove,
You’re just a chump
You’re standing Cliffside scared to jump
Bound for ground we’re all
So leap, enjoy the fall

It’s a lonely road I know
And nothing ever stands between a bullet and your soul
It’d be easier to just succumb
The race is on, but you’re still waiting for the gun
So either quit or run

Paralyzed
The venom is seeping,
Hope is fleeting from your eyes
Carrion before your time

You’re atrophied from apathy
You’ve been too long off your feet
You dreamed of sanctity
But everything’s gone wrong

It’s a lonely road I know
And nothing ever stands between a bullet and your soul
It’d be easier to just succumb
The race is on, but you’re still waiting for the gun
So either quit or run

You’ve got the world to own
All you could ever hope
Just tell me you’re still able enough
There ain’t another way
You either run or stay
Tell me the will still remains

It’s a lonely road I know
And nothing ever stands
Between a bullet and your soul
It’d be easier to just succumb
The race is on but you’re still waiting for the gun
So either quit or run

 

You shimmer like the Northern Star
And I’m just the guy with the
Telescope on the ground
You’re rushing like a waterfall and I’m just the
dribbling of a faucet that won’t turn off
I got concrete shoes, and you’re
strapped to rockets,
If it’s sink or swim, then I’m swiftly drowning
I’m on the ocean floor and you’re out of the atmosphere

Why do I not see this coming?
The more I try, the less you’re enamored
When it all plays out, well
who was I kidding?
To say you’re out of my league
doesn’t start to explain it
I’m a drop of rain and
baby you’re a hurricane

I whipped out the big
guns, aimed to impress,
centered those cross-hairs on your chest
crossed my
fingers, pulled the trigger
just hoping for the best
you probably wish the
bullet had caught my head
but it landed in my foot instead

Why do I not
see this coming?
The more I try, the less you’re enamored
When it all plays
out, well who was I kidding?
To say you’re out of my league
Doesn’t start to explain it
I’m a drop of rain and
baby you’re a hurricane Those chemicals made synapses fire,
made illogical seem probable
Like a cannonball,
I’m bound to soar and fall I’m just a lead balloon, you’re
anti-gravitational.
And I’m out of my head

Why do I not see this coming?
When the more I try,
the less you’re enamored When it all plays out,
well who was I kidding?
To say you’re out of my league
doesn’t start to explain it
I’m just a drop of rain and
baby you’re a…

But if I had what I
want, I’d get you off
and I’d turn you on
And I’d have what I need,
to bring down a goddess
to her knees I’d sell my soul to know,
what to give to the girl who’s got it all
I’d conjure the winds to blow
and knock you off of that pedestal
I’m calling your bluff,
and I bet it all so you better fold
If I don’t strike gold,
what’s left to give when you got it all?

Updates: I’ll be having my first exam for my 4th year and its Rheumatology. I’ve been having Rheumato clinics since last week. Everyday, I have to leave my apartment as early as around 7.30am! I have to take the tram, change to metro which is very packed (like sardines in a tin as we Malays would say it), then tram again to reach the hospital (Szpital MSWiA).

But it wasn’t that horrible. I’ve always been comfortable during my first 3 years with the public transports here, so a change wouldn’t be much of a problem. And it’s just temporary. Besides, I get the experience of how it’s like to be one of the Warsaw people who had to face this every single day. Oh yeah, and with these songs in my iPod, it’s a fun ride ;P

Anyways, the rheumato exam will going to be an oral exam, there will be only 3 questions. Hopefully everything will turn out fine :) I will just have to REALLY study tonight. Wish me luck!

Metro Ratusz Arsenal. The very metro station that I go to everyday. The only difference here is that the platform and the train would be full of people.
