Is that your man walking in the dark
Is that your man walking in the dark
Is that your man walking in the dark
Is that your man walking in the dark

Take me home
Where there broken brights
Shining down
Make me feel alright

When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young

Shake them old
Let me lost tonight
We'll grow young
Make me feel alright

When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young

Is that your man walking in the dark
Is that your man walking in the dark
Is that your man...

Album Review: Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (2012)

She is so damn beautiful, and effing talented. She has voice to die for. Just like Shakira, she has multiple type of vocal variation and she ain't afraid to experiment and flaunt em'. I got a chance to listen to Born To Die before its official release this 30th January. You might wonder how do I managed to get all latest album when they are not yet released. Well, as music enthusiast, I got my own perks.

Here's the songlist for this upcoming delight.

1. Born to Die
2. Off to the Races
3. Blue Jeans
4. Video Games
5. Diet Mountain Dew
6. National Anthem
7. Dark Paradise
8. Radio
9. Carmen
10. Million Dollar Man
11. Summertime Sadness
12. This is What Makes Us Girls
13. Without You
14. Lolita
15. Lucky Ones

My favorite are Born to Die, Off to the Races, Blue Jeans, Video Games, National Anthem *stop me please*. Well, to be honest, all of them are great. They are so damn catchy and you just love it the first time you listen to it. I can promise you that. How can you resist her sultry lazy voice. National Anthem has a gist of The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony for intro.

THE VERDICT: 5/5 

Let us hope they sell this album here in Malaysia or you can always go to YouTube to listen. SOPA my ass.

Archive: Tegan and Sara - Walking With The Ghost

No matter which way you go

No matter which way you stay

You're out of my mind, out of my mind

Out of my mind, out of my mind

I was walking with a ghost

I said please, please don't insist

I was walking with a ghost

I said please, please don't insist

KT Tunstall - Throw Me a Rope

Acoustic Extravaganza is one if KT's great album pre-Drastic Fantastic that takes me a while to like. Apart from Ashes, One Day, Golden Age, Universe and U and Gone To The Dogs, my one favorite track is Throw Me a Rope. It gave me a warmth sensation of relaxing sunny weekend afternoon, sipping tea by the balcony while watching sun setting. It also gave me the shiver of late quiet cold windy night, watching leaves dragged by chilling blow of night air illuminated by streetlight. Times like this makes me wanted to hum along to the rhythm. 

I've shared this song in one of the entry in main blog [grav.i.ty], also once resides in Mixpod. Maybe it is difficult to like it at first but do read the lyric and you'll understand why this is immensely heartwarming.

THROW ME A ROPE by KT TUNSTALL

I want you between me and the feeling I get when I miss you
But everything here is telling me I should be fine
So why is it so, above as below,
That I'm missing you every time

I got used to you whispering things to me into the evening
We followed the sun and its colours and left this world
It seems to me that I'm definitely
Hearing the best that I've heard

So throw me a rope to hold me in place
Show me a clock for counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone

And whenever you go it's like holding my breath underwater
I have to admit that I kind of like it when I do
Oh but I've got to be unconditionally
Unafraid of my days without you

So throw me a rope to hold me in place
Show me a clock for counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Whenever I'm falling you're always behind me
Come back and find me
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone

from Acoustic Extravaganza (2006)

JESS PENNER - LIFE IS ROSY

GEMMA HAYES - KEEP RUNNING

COURRIER - BETWEEN

Can we ever get rid of the whats and the ifs

That doubts that exist in our minds

In the silence I am tricked into thinking you'll forget

And I'll be stranded like a man in a mine

The day between the soil and the sky

An emptiness, a void, a heaviness, a sigh,

But I know you will make through alive

Cause you never said goodbye

Like a city besieged, it was the loneliest thing

Your silence held in cold delay

And I felt faint of heart cause I was caught between

The weight of everything I couldn't say

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

How to follow, to follow, to follow,

Cause you and I know I can't go, I can't go

Between the gallows and the gates

If you listen carefully, there is some similarity of both music. Leave a comment if you found them.

Leona Lewis - Hurt


I hurt myself today,
To see if I still feel,
I focus on the pain,
The only thing that's real,


The needle tears a hole,
The old familiar sting,
Try to kill it all away,
But I remember everything,


[Chorus]
What have I become,
My sweetest friend,
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end,


And you could have it all,
My empire of dirt,
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt,


Beneath the stains of time,
The feelings disappear,
You are someone else,
I am still right here,


[Chorus]


And you could have it all,
My empire of dirt,
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt,


If I could start again,
A million miles away,
I will keep myself,
I would find a way
I will find a way.

Ross Copperman - Holding On and Letting Go

Is anybody out there?

Is anybody listening?

Does anybody really know if its the end of the beginning?

The quiet rush of one breath

Is all we're waiting for

Sometimes the one we’re taking

Changes every one before..

[Chorus]

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't

It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed

Some prayers find an answer

Some prayers never know

We're holding on and letting go

Sometimes we're holding angels

And we never even know

Don't know if we'll make it, 

But we know,

We just can't let it show

[Chorus]

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't

It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed

Some prayers find an answer

Some prayers never know

We're holding on and letting go

Yeah, letting go

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't

It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed

Some prayers find an answer

Some prayers never know

We're holding on and letting go

[Chorus]

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't

It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed

Some prayers find an answer

Some prayers never know

We're holding on and letting go.

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't

It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed

Some prayers find an answer

Some prayers never know

We're holding on and letting go

ZOLA JESUS - SKIN

Safety net, don't hold me now

In this hole I've fallen down

Secret home I made and found

And you wait to breathe

Skin of all, skin of all

I've had enough, ooh ohh

Skin of all

And in the sickness, you have faith

And in the thickness, you find me

Finally

In the city, you find pain

And the people you see there

That remind you of your role

Let me go

Skin of all, skin of all

I've had enough, ooh ooh

Skin of all

And in the sickness, you have faith

And in the thickness you find me

Finally, finally

That's what they say

Finally

SNOW PATROL - NEW YORK

If you were here beside me

Instead of in New York

If the curve of you is curved on me

I'd tell you that I love you

Before I ever knew you

'Cause I love the simple thought of you

If our hearts are never broken

then there's no joy in the mending

There's so much this heart can teach us both

Though there's distance and there's silence

Your words have never left me

You're the prayer that I say every day

Come on

Come out

Come here

Come here

(4x)

The long neon nights and the ache of the ocean

And the fire that was starting to spark

I miss it all from the love to the lightning

And the lack of it snaps me in two

If you were here beside me

Instead of in New York

In the arms you said you'd never leave

I'd tell you that it's simple

And it was only ever thus

There is no where else that I belong

Come on

Come out

Come here

Come here

(4x)

The long neon nights and the eek of the ocean

And the fire that was starting to spark

I miss it all from the love to the lightning

And the lack of it snaps me in two

Just give me a sign

There's an end and a beginning

To the quiet chaos driving me mad

The long neon night and the want of the ocean

And the fire that started to go out
