Superman by Five for Fighting

Was mentioned by a friend today. And I remembered hearing this song back then but never really bothered to go get it. As I was going through the lyrics today, it seems so touching. Too touching.

Even heroes have the right to bleed.

Superman by Five For Fighting

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird…i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd…but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed…but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away…away from me
It’s all right…you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy…or anything…

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man
Looking for a dream

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm…

Its not easy to be me

HUNNY!

Today my hunny came online! LOL. So happy. I miss chatting with her during work, hope she gets back soon.

Don’t bother to get me anything ok!

November Rain by Guns and Roses

Last night, while on the way home from Bala, my friend had November Rain playing in the car. Then I began to think how some parts of the song I should really remind myself of, while some parts of the song he would really need. (By the way, I managed to find a youtube video for Forgiveness. My friend needs that too.)

Still, it is still a good song and will forever be. It’s gotta be one of those immortal rock classics. In fact, it’s a musical epic. Below is two videos, one’s the MTV the other’s a live performance featuring Elton John as well. Take a look at the live performance. Try, really, try and count, how many players and instruments are there in that performance. For one, awesomely godlike song of crazy epic proportions, I even feel that the amount of people in that performance wasn’t enough. Just watching that vid got me shaking in my seat at work unconciously. I really wish I was in that concert….. oooh, goosebumps all over

November Rain by Guns and Roses

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We’ve been through this such a long long time
Just tryin’ to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin’ that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin’ don’t refrain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time…on your own
Do you need some time…all alone
Everybody needs some time…on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone
I know it’s hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time…on my own
Sometimes I need some time…all alone
Everybody needs some time…on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there’s no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don’t ya think that you need somebody
Don’t ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

The Mournful Tune

Lately I’ve been thinking and dreaming, and lately I’ve been listening to this song over and over and over and over…..

Lately I’ve been haunted by a ghost, and this mournful tune keeps wailing through the empty halls of my mind, echoing it’s captivatingly sad melody in my head.

The World I Know by Collective Soul

Heard this song today, in my head, and decided to share it with The World I Know. It somehow melded nicely with my idea of looking upon myself and laughing which I posted the night before.

The World I Know by Collective Soul

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don’t know why.

Are we listening?
Hymns of offering.
Have we eyes to see?
Love is gathering.
All the words that I’ve been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one.

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down.
‘Cause it’s the world I know.
It’s the world I know.

Stencil Cuttings Complete

Today I completed my last stencil for my first masterpiece.

Getting a little worried about starting the spray job. Already I’m planning the steps in my head, I should write them down.

Problem is, I’m about to sleep. Wonder if I’m going to sleep thinking shit loads again….

Thursdays always rock

I was observing people at Bala tonight, and I could not help but find hilarity in the surroundings.

I saw the same bald guy and his gang like I did last week.

I saw 3 guys try to chat up a girl, who wasn’t a looker, but had big breasts.

A friend’s colleague was there as well. I didn’t quite like him the first time I met him, but I guess second impressions do help sometimes. He did say something which I thought would be unlike of him, so ok, I guess he might not be that bad after all.

My friend needs help though.

Anyway, it was a good night reflecting on the past few months and things that has happened, things that have been said and done. And of the past few days of indecisiveness of whether to deliver or not what I have made, I think I have decided that I might as well do it. Not going to let history repeat itself. So I say, “Ah fuck it la”.

Yes. Tonight’s session at Bala was awesome, again, with regards to the music. It never fails to make me think of heading down whenever the band’s playing. They keep their songs fresh each week. And tonight, I was singing out loud to this song, which coincidentally was on my iPod today. I have this sudden urge to watch City of Angels again. I applaud Nicholas Cage for taking the plunge. I don’t think I ever would, not for a long time to come. But, I just want you to know who I am.

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

And I’d give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t want to go home right nowAnd all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t want to miss you tonight

And I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
