...facination with songs...

Have you ever wondered how we choose our songs and why we consider them as our favorite song? Like the song I sung just a minute ago, I realized that I found it mesmerizing coz it tells more about me and how I’m feeling. The instant the lyrics reflect our own emotion, we decide it’s our much loved song.

Your Winter
by Sister Hazel

The grey ceiling on the earth
Well it's lasted for a while
Take my thoughts for what they're worth
I've been acting like a child
In your opinion, and what is that?
It's just a different point of view

What else can I do?
I said I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry , but for?
If I hurt you then I hate myself
Don't want to hate myself, don't want to hurt you
Why do you chew your pain?
If you only know how much I love you, love you

Chorus
I won't be your winter
I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
We can be forgiven
I will be here

The old picture on the shelf
Well it's been there for a while
A frozen image of ourselves
We are acting like a child
Innocent and in a trance
A dance that lasted for a while

You read my eyes just like your diary,
oh remember, please remember
Well, I'm not a beggar, but what's more
If I hurt you, then I hate myself, don't wanna hurt you
Why do you chew your pain?
If you only knew how much I love you

I won't be your winter
I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
We can be forgiven
I will be here

Chorus

Like that song….I don’t like to be anyone’s winter…I don’t wanna be anyone’s reason for crying. I don’t wanna bring burden to those I love coz if I hurt them I will also hurt and hate myself. I’d rather be the one hurt than them but if somehow I hurt some because of my insensitivity, then I extend my apology.

This time around, no more lies and excuses…it’ll be all honesty and whatever might happen then, come what may.

You First Believed
by Hoku

How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star
Gazing off into the dark
Dreaming I’d see your face
Safe at home unafraid
Captured in your embrace

So many times
When my heart was broken
Visions of you
Would keep me strong
You were with me all along
Guiding my every step
You are all that I am
And I’ll never forget

It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And showed me life
And I’ve never been the same
Since you first believed

There were times
When I’d thought I’d lost you
Fearing forever was a dream
But it wasn't what it seemed
Placing your hand in mine
You could see in the dark
You were guiding my heart


It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And you showed me life
And I’ve never been the same
Since you first believed

How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star

I liked the song the instant that I understood the lyrics. I like it because for me? It symbolizes hope that someone will be there for me…a wish that somehow can be real and true. Someone who can walk me out from this dark, cold and lonely passage that I’m leading my life…someone that can save me from my mistakes.

Letting Go
By Sozzi

Don't call me
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You know that
We needed
Some time and space to breathe

I still recall the words you said to me
It's what you did not say that sets me free
Now how can I find peace of mind when you keep coming back again?
It's not okay for you to play this game of seesaw with my head

Now it hurts too much
And it hits too hard
And I won't play this part

Don't call me
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You know that
We needed
Some time and space to breathe

So now I say the things I want to say
Sometimes it's better letting go this way
I'll always know
Down in my soul
We really had so far to go
I've given all I had to give
And now it's time for me to live
And I won't look back
And I won't regret
Though hurts like hell
Someday I will forget

Don't call me
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You know that
We needed
Some time and space to breathe

To say that you've been thinkin
Cause I know it's just the drinkin

It's funny how we seem to end up here


Don't call me
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You know that
We needed
Some time and space to breathe

And this is letting go
This is letting go
This is letting go
This is letting go

Don't call me
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You know that
We needed
Some time and space to breathe

Don't call me
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You know that
We needed
Some time and space to breathe

To say that you've been thinking
Cause I know it's just the drinking

i know its kinda ordinary...its just the classical way of "letting go song". plain but straight forward to the message it wants to say.
