Aiyo, since when everyone start posting diaries? n so many tell grandmother stories summore, wanna make it a reading assignment for me meh? so well, i'll take the initiative lar, start something new!
Came across 3 beautiful songs this week, simply beautiful and remarkable. One of them is "Shades of Gray" by Waking Ashland, and honestly, never heard of the band before, but a few of their songs are worth listening, with "Shades of Gray" on top of the list. The tune and the lyrics, so sad, so touching, yet blended so well. Personally, I like the part when towards the end of the song, the rhythm and tone went up, sort of resembling the emotion of the singer that was no longer retainable.
Same thing goes to "Warning Sign" by Coldplay, yes, Coldplay, my favorite band of all time! Somehow they're just pure genius, I love so many of their songs, from "Yellow" to "The Scientist" to "Fix You", you name it~ It's the rhythm again, and the depressing vocal of the band that never fail to melt one's heart. Snow Patrol is close to them, but still, not like them. I like some of Snow Patrol's songs too, like say "Run", my all time favorite. Then we have "Chasing Cars" and "Open Your Eyes", beautiful also. But I'm only crazy over "run", the rest from Snow Patrol, they're nice, but not that great to drive me nuts. Coldplay on the other hand, many more of their songs... I just never get sick listening to them.
And this "Warning Sign", my god... When the song pauses on the chorus after 'When the truth is' for a second, before continue singing 'I miss you', damn! It's like, he doesn't want to admit that fact, but his soon swallows his pride. "Open Your Eyes" is a little like "Run", where the guitar ruled the song.
Too bad I can't upload all those songs here, so I guess I can only share the lyrics!
"Shades of Gray" by Waking Ashland
I and I am to blame,
I sit here in shame.
I threw you away again.
And I, I send you my best.
I try to lay this to rest,
When you were my everything.
Shades of Gray,
And please fade away.
And oh what if I sit in vain.
Hey, and I'll look away,
Pretend I'm okay.
I'm back on the road again.
And please, could it be true,
That I still love you,
And my loves unworthy.
Shades of Gray,
And please fade away.
And oh what if I sit in vain.
Are you listening to my words?
And I saw your smile pass me by,
And landed far from me.
And what does that mean?
Shades of Gray,
And please fade away.
Oh what if I sit in vain.
I and I ran away,
For I was afraid.
Afraid you'd be everything.
"Warning Sign" by Coldplay
A warning sign
I missed the good part and I realized
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses
Come on in, I’ve got to tell you what a state I’m in
I’ve got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign
When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so
A warning sign
You came back to haunt me and I realized
That you were an island and I passed you by
When you were an island to discover
Come on in, I’ve got to tell you what a state I’m in
I’ve got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign
When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so
And I’m tired
I should not have let you go
So I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms
And I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms
"Open Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
My bones ache my skin feels cold
And I'm getting so tired and so old
The anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
Cause I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Get up get out get away from these liars
Cause they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time
Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
Cause I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
