We can be Heroes – ABC Series production: Eons Passed…
Back in my chubbier days in Melbourne, *note the hamster cheeks*, as I fondly recall, this one time off appearance on an ABC series, ‘we could be heroes’, I must say that diversity doesn’t really make much of a difference but rather empowers.
Contrary to the usual ham-haws about racist-demeanours (there are of course a minority), of my 5 years in Melbourne, I barely felt unwelcomed, and if anycase, some caucasian friends I’ve met along the way were way friendlier than most; namely Adrian and Sabby. Still, this was perhaps the greatest experience that befell me when I was over there. And hopefully many more to come. Would love to get back into musicals and stage acting. Sighsy.
“What would you choose to do, if you had but one day”?
Love Story…What’s yours?
A song that really touched me, more because its a sweet song.
This song is the first track on her new album, Fearless that will be released the next November 11th, 2008. The music video has been premiered today on CMT. Also, it is the first official single in being released. Other songs into the track listing are: Fearless, Hey Stephen, White Horse, 15, Tell Me Why, You’re Not Sorry and Breathe featuring Colbie Caillat. At the moment, there is available a special limited edition as pre-order. She has been nominated as Female Vocalist of the Year at the 42nd Annual CMA Awards that will take place on November 12th, 2008.
Love Story Lyrics:
We were both young, when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I’m standing there, on a balcony of summer air
I see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello, little did I know…
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said “stay away from Juliet”
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go…
And I said…
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess,
It’s a love story, baby, just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, because we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Oh, Ohhh
Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said “stay away from Juliet”
But you were everything to me
I was begging you, please don’t go…
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo save me, they’re trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
It’s a love story, baby, just say yes
Oh, Ohhh…
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me, I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting, for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don’t know what to think
He kneels to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
Marry me Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone
I love you, and that’s all I really know
I talked to your dad-you’ll pick the white dress
It’s a love story, baby just say…yes…
Oh, Ohhh… Oh, Oh, Ohhh…
We were both young when I first saw you.
Lyrics – Our newest Zounix song
After month’s of procrastinating about not finding a drummer, our originals are back on track. Still, the lyrics need more than one revision, but for the tune; it does suit the theme of the unbecoming.
A symphonic Rock band, made known by the likes of Nightwish and Within Temptation (the genre that is), it seems maybe we have more than a mile to go. But at the end of it, I know that my comrades are here, at least the 4 of us…
Title – Can’t Stay (Taken Away)
V1: This storm has left me groveling blind,
Laced-up tears that reek of stale lies.
Weather, and beaten;
Torn beyond recon. (recognition)
V2: Landslides of change has warped up what’s mine,
Fear of the taste that Agony cries,
Bitter, and crazed;
By this torment of time.
C: Stay, by my side I cried,
Where lives are in demise.
(repeat) V1+V2+C1
C2: Wait, by my side I cried,
Where the flame has subside.
(Instrumental Bridge)
C2
(End – Instrumental)
Arielger’s SingOut – @SN Event…W/ 4 divas
Fun, laughter and more laughter.
A few vids from our gig, with the very talented artistes here…
And we had our full event of songs and more songs…obviously with a tinge of oldies inside our list of mixes…
Sing-along session commenced after we settled down with a hearty bottle of alcohol and mixes… plain water cocktails? *bleah* And our A duo (T’s bf and mr wannabe yandao) had a few…scandalous photos together…
So…to even it out, T took it out on me =C But…it was fuN! lols…Yeahhh!
And, after the drunkedness….Our darling T had a major singing competition the next day (on a sunday? Gawd)…but yea, we stayed all the way til 5am…
Even in our stupor of drinks and sing-alongs, we had time to snap more than a few pics, courtesy of PX’s camera! 😛 Luv ya babe!
Songafter song, we waited as the ktv pub’s patrons diminished…
Pod-cast Ahoy!: T3’s new Twist…Welcome to Our World
Been rumaging through my old collection of songs and stuff, and there’s another vid clip of my old gigs back in melbourne at good ol’ Chilli Padi…
Avenge this…”won’t see you tonight”
One of my favourite band is none other than A7X (Avenged sevenfold) where…honestly, they’ve got everything that one could possibly ask for. Good looks, rocking fantastic music with a tinge of electrifying mystique.
One of the tunes that’s eternally stuck in my head is "I won’t go home without you" If you’re unfamiliar with them, maybe that’s just simply ’cause you haven’t been playing enough Guitar Heroes; where in the first edition, we see this band take on an almost heart-wrenchingly haunting tune of "I won’t see you tonight".
Quix Mix – AzureBluez ~ the bluest Sky is U – MP3 Music Streams on IMEEM
Mm…sometimes, programs should be as easy as a simple click-drop-drag…just like our Mp3 players.
Spent about 3-4hrs fixing this, complete with the uploading, and archiving; playlisting, and attaching it to facebook.
Still, amazingly, it wasn’t that bad. and It played.
That’s all that matters right???
Still. Do check out our new website, www.T3mag.com.sg/blog. Where all we blabber on, about the what-nots in gadget-land…makes you wanna snore.
