MUSE-tastic MUSE-perience

This Sunday was probably the most awesome in the longest while. I attended my very first Live performance in a concert setting. Yes I’ve attended other concerts which are know internationally like Junoon (but in my opinion it doesn’t count). The only one I can count is Nysnc in 99.

Thanks Khang for the awesome experience at Muse as I call it Museperience!!

Ya Nabi Salam Alayka

Maher Zain sings this beautiful song: Ya Nabi Salam Alayka, which is basically sending salams to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). The song has beautiful lyrics and is sung in a few languages all wrapped up nicely in a single song. Take a listen and follow the link below to Maher Zain’s website for some more samples and to his recent album: Thank You Allah.

Biography

Maher’s first musical inspiration came from his father, who was a singer himself, performing locally in the beautiful Mediterranean city of Tripoli – Lebanon. Fascinated by the music and instruments, Maher got his first keyboard when he was only ten and ever since music officially became part of Maher’s world.

New Music on the Horizon

I’ve been listening to some new music lately and I’m loving it. Here is a list of the songs that I’ve favorited in the past couple of weeks.

Starting with the infamous Guns N’Roses new album “Chinese Democracy” is an interesting listen, with their track “I.R.S” it is a new and spectacular look at how we’re viewed as citizens of the world. Then the song “Street of Dreams” brings the classic musical elements from their popular tracks such as November Rain with an intro consisting of piano. Overall I’ll give this album a 4.5 stars out of 6 (yes my rating ssytem is different). The album brings back memories of classis hard rock and ride is an amazing rollercoaster one. (more…)

Let Me Go

One more kiss could be the best thing
One more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you’re not something I deserve

In my head there’s only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there’s real and make believe
This seems real to me

[Chorus]
You love me but you don’t know who I am
I’m torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don’t know who I am
So let me go
Let me go

I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I’m goin through

In my head there’s only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there’s real and make believe
This seems real to me

[Chorus]
You love me but you dont know who I am
I’m torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And You love me but you don’t know who I am
So let me go
Just Let me go…
Let me go

And no matter how hard I try
I can’t escape these things inside I know
I know…
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows

[Chorus]
You love me but you dont know who I am
I’m torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don’t know Who I am
So let me go
Just let me go

You love me but you don’t
You love me but you don’t
You love me but you don’t know who I am
You love me but you don’t
You love me but you don’t
You love me but you dont know me

Makes Me Wonder

[Verse]
I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

[Bridge]
I still don’t have the reason
And you don’t have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don’t believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye

[Verse]
Got them resting in my head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you’re going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

[Bridge]
I still don’t have the reason
And you don’t have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don’t believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And it’s over, hurt the feeling
But I don’t believe it’s true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

[Breakdown]
I’ve been here before
One day a week
And it won’t hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The word is set on how to mean me
Cause

[Bridge]
I still don’t have the reason
And you don’t have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
And I…and so this is goodbye

[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don’t believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And it’s over, hurt the feeling
But I don’t believe it’s true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah [x3]
(Oh no)

Love Hurts

Incubus – Love Hurts

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
I don’t want to lose what I had as a boy

My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
As common as a cold day in LA

Sometimes when I’m alone
I wonder, is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won’t survive

I’m fettered and abused
I stand naked and accused
Should I surface this one man submarine?

I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth
I’ll never lose what I had as a boy

Sometimes when I’m alone
I wonder is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won’t survive

Without love I won’t survive

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won’t survive

Love hurts
Love hurts
Without love I won’t surivive
Love hurts
Love hurts
Without love I won’t survive

Megalomaniac

Song by: Incubus
on Album: A Crow Left of the Murder

I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen
Its’ unkind, but if I met you in a scissor fight
I’d cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone

Hey megalomaniac
You’re no Jesus
Yeah, you’re no fucking Elvis
Wash Your hands clean (or Yourself)
Baby yeah
Step down
Step down

If I were your appendages
I’d hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one

Hey megalomaniac
You’re no Jesus
Yeah, you’re no fucking Elvis
Wash Your hands clean (or Yourself)
Baby yeah
Step down
Step down

Yeah
You’re no Jesus
You’re not Elvis
…
You’re no answer

Hey megalomaniac
You’re no Jesus
Yeah, you’re no fucking Elvis
Wash Your hands clean (or Yourself)
Baby yeah
Step down
Step down

Apologize

I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I’m hearing what you say
But I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait…
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around and say..

That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that’s nothing new)
Yeah yeah

I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue
And you say
Sorry, like the angel, heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
Woah ooooah

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah yeah
I said it’s too late to apologize, a yeah

I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground…

Weight of the World – lyrics

Evanescence – Weight of the World

Feels like the weight of the world
like God in heaven gave me a turn
don’t cling to me, I swear I can’t fix you
still in the dark, can you fix me?

freefall, freefall, all through life

If you love me, then let go of me
I wont be held down by who I used to be
she’s nothing to me

Feels like the weight of the world
like all my screaming has gone unheard
and ohm I know you don’t believe in me
safe in the dark, how can you see?

freefall, freefall, all through life

If you love me, then let go of me
I wont be held down by who I used to be
