Is this really happening?

I'm actually typing a post :O Amazing , isn't it? :) Well, I felt I had to because last night before I went to sleep, I was listening to some music. And it just really struck me that I find some songs really BEAUTIFUL, not in a sense of works of Beethoven or Mozart. I mean just plain darn beautiful of course you may beg to differ. But this is my blog, so I'll write whatever I feel like. Don't like it, don't read it :

It was 4 a.m I guess, I just decided to listen to music before I go to sleep. And of course I listened to Muse, big shocker :O So instead of listening from one album to another I just listened to Undisclosed Desires. And there's just something about it, that I'll never get tired of listening to it. I know it's pop-ish and mainstream. But there's something there that is still typical Muse-geekish vibe. I mean who writes lyrics like "I want to exorcist the demons from your past" and gets away with it. Only Muse can. And the chorus is just awesome. If you listen closely to each chorus there's added element to each of them. The strings on it are beautiful, not complicated, just simple pizzacato and yet it made the sound 100 X better. I guess it's really a romantic song, with not so typical I love you forever, you are my sun, you are my air, sort of poetry. Of course it's romantic, it's about Matt and his girlfriend! :D Well if you really think it's still not Muse. Just go watch the Music Video. It's like I Belong to You but much sexier. Though, I really admire Matt's vocal in I Belong to You. Well to sum it up, I just really love the strings in Undisclosed Desires. I find it rather well, BEAUTIFUL.

Well, besides that I listened to Butterflies and Hurricanes, yes it used to be my MSN name and currently my tumblr header. I like the name it's so interesting or maybe I just like Butterflies but it's so childish to just put butterflies :\ Usually some songs have kickass names but the song is just blah. But fear not Butterflies and Hurricanes has a song to match the name. The origins of the title is from the Butterfly Effect metaphor. I shall not go further. What's so special about this song. It's just so motivational. "Best, you've got to be the best!" screams Bellamy. Pay attention to the lyrics. Of course you're not Barack Obama but a little goes a lonnnnggg way. I think the song's trying to tell us to be the best that we can be and use our really precious time. I should really listen to my own advice sometimes, hmph.

Moving on, I did a post about my interpretation of A Rush of A Blood to the Head. Well this is another example of a beautiful song. Lyrics wise, and the simplicity of the song. My heart aches everytime Chris Martin sang "Honey,". The desperation in his voice is truly gut wrenching. It's like I'm watching some soap opera, very dramatic. But it's really a sad song. And early Coldplay had a knack for making the most heartbreaking songs. And again, look at the awesome song title. I'll stop here because I did a full post about this song, so yeah.

Other Coldplay songs I find pretty :) is Life in Technicolor ii. There's sitar! Come on who doesn't like sitar in a western song. Well besides that, I just really like the melody in it. You know the feeling when you listen to a Mika song (applies to only Mika listeners), the warm happy joy feeling you get in your tummy. Well I found that in Life in Technicolor ii. I love when it gets to the chorus, the melody just keeps getting better. "Gravity release me, don't ever hold me down" , so inspirational :') It gives the feeling of hope and optimism. Oh I like the ending of violet hill, where it was only Chris Martin singing and the piano part. The final verse. You know?! Yeah, I really like it.

Well yeah it's only Coldplay and Muse, probably because I've listen to all of their songs. I'm sure there's other songs I find beautiful but you know how good I am of recalling stuff (sarcasm ok).

The moral of the post is, try to sleep early and not until 4 a.m. Or else you'll just start to have random ideas.

There you go, I blogged nonesense. HOORAH!

Blame it upon

A Rush of Blood to the Head.




I know this album was release years ago but I fell in love with the title track. And I'm so glad Sharanya lend me Viva La Vida and Prospekts. It made me listen to all of their previous works. And one particular song was just so hauntingly beautiful.

I never really "studied" lyrics but for some reason I decided to try and interpret the lyrics. Well a lot of people say he's burning the house down because of all the horrible things that had took part in that place. Some say he thinks the place is the problem in the relationship so he's burning it down to make things right. Other say it's a suicide pact because of "stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls..."

I think the guy is sick (not coughing, fever sick). More like mentally unhealthy? Always acting on impulse. The guy must be acting on impulse and he's having problems in his relationship because of that. So then he had another impulse to burn the place down on hope that it will save his relationship. OR maybe the girl was traumatized in that place" Do back the things it did to you in return", so the guy is willing to do anything for her. By burning the place he thinks that that's what she wants".. fill your heart's desires" . He is even willing to start a war if she tells him what to fight for. And all of this actions is because the rush of blood to the head.

Get to the chorus, the girl starting to move on. And the guy is devastated. He's desperately telling her that he had changed and all his mistakes are forever gone. But people around the girl say to keep moving on and leave him, "start as you mean to go on."


He burnt the place down. Some people laugh (maybe they lost their minds) and some cried because on the burning. But the girl just sit there and wondered why he did it. In his defence he reciting again he'll do whatever he will do for her and he blame his action on the rush of blood to the head.

The ending of the song is really sad, eventhough is predictable but still it's just so touching.

So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane

When am I going to see that pretty face again

Meet me on the road, meet me where I said

Blame it all upon

A rush of blood to the head

The girl finally sum up all her courage to leave him. And the guy waits for her in places he said he will be, just dreaming of the day when he sees her face again.

I just had to let it out, I don't know why. I'm just so into the song and I guess I made a little plotline for it. I'm catching on Sze Yan's chessyness but I don't care. Because of this song I'm willing to be cheese.


Oh god this is what happen when you're on a blogging hiatus.

Raging Hormones.

Oh God, help me as I am a teenager at the peak of hormones. I don't know why I'm so bloody attracted to musicians. It's like they're a force of their own. Seriously, if I went to one of their concert I would instantly fall for them, that's what happen when I went to Click Five. And now I am listening to Coldplay live and so sorry Sharan, but Chris Martin is so hot live. His vocals is so dreamy. I hate sounding like a pathetic teenage girl but it's true. I get all jelloid watching bands perform live well. If they suck, ho-ho then they'll be in my hate list.


Bands I want to see (solo include)
MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE
Michael Jackson (he is the king of pop)
Coldplay
Paramore
Taylor Swift <3
Gym Class Heroes (hey they're addictive)
Blink 182 (since they got back together, why not?)
Innerpartysystem
Anyone from Fueled By Ramen.

MUSE VS COLDPLAY.

vs

Is it me or are they hot?

It's about 4.30 p.m and I just finished watching Coldplay live at BBC. All I could say is Chris Martin is HOT. HAHA. This post isn't really to see whose better than who. I just want to write about them and all. Because, you guessed it, I'm bored. Ok let's start with Coldplay shall we?

Should I introduce them? I mean, you guys probably know them but for the sake of someone whose been living under a rock I shall type out their names. Let see, there's Jonny Buckland the guitarist, who always wears the cap, wonder if he's bald? Then Guy Berryman,bass, out of all of them, the handsome one HAHA. Chris Martin, to me the hottest of all :P sings, plays piano, guitar. And last but not least, Will Champion (what a name) the drummer, who bangs the famous church bell in Viva La Vida.

Back to the BBC live, Jay Z was there, boping his head to beat. Coldplay are HUGE, and they still manage to maintain their humble attitude. Live performance wise they're amazing. Even Matt Bellamy said something along this line,"I thought I was a good singer then I saw Chris Martin singing. Now that guy, he could really sing." Poor Matt, his confidence shattered HAHA. When Coldplay are on stage, their presence are too strong, you're drawn to it. I think that's the key to success, to have your presence felt. And marvellous songs help as well :D I've known Coldplay longer than Muse, they're always on the radio, so Coldplay has history with me. And I took Coldplay for granted and didn't really pay attention to them. And when they played their old hits in concert, my mouth automatically starts to sing a long. And Chris Martin is usually the main focus, and he likes to communicate with audience as though you're friends with him. Friendly you might say. After a song, he'll talk and then gets a few laugh from the audience then continue to play. I don't think Coldplay changed personality wise but their music evolve along with every album. If you had to create the same type of music over and over again, you probably die of creativity deprivation. Summary of Coldplay, they have been my music while growing up. And I swear to pay attention to them more:D Yes, Chris Martin is HOT. I wish I could write more, but time is short. So moving on.

MUSE consist of Matthew Bellamy who plays piano,guitar and sings (just like Chris Martin :O Myb I'm attracted to those type of guys). Dominic Howard aka Spiderdom, colourful pants guy he bangs drums and human bones. Chris Wolstenholme, he's the gentle giant, he doesn't speak much because Matt usually blabs off so he never gets the chance :( But when he speaks its pleasant to hear what he has to say :D

Here's the incommon things Muse and Coldplay have they're both British (Gotta love the accent). Muse and Coldplay are friends. They're unbelievably tremendously awesome live. I love them both. They're funny people. Loyal fans. And sometimes I couldn't comprehend what they're talking about.

Now for the difference, Coldplay is famous everywhere, Muse on the other hand have problems reaching US.Most obvious thing, they have different genre, Coldplay are more to soft rock vibe but Muse are like rock, with some space and conspiracy theories mix into their songs. Chris Martin seems to be a confident person and connects with audience more easily but Matt is quite shy ( Not Joking) so he doesn't talk to the crowd often, usually Dom does it. And Coldplay said they're always a step behind on live performance with Muse. See they love each other. Awww :)







Better stop now.

The Fray

Their new self-titled album will be release 3rd of February. The song 'You Found Me' I like the begining not sure about the chorus abit depressing but it's easy listening. And recently the posted Syndicate which has a nice piano intro. Frankly, the Fray's songs are quite the same all around. Will it fray away? ok Lame-o joke. I think The Fray writes the type of songs that could ease your mind from stress. With their nice melody and no hard rock guitar solos, you feel as if you can doze off, in a good way.


*omg i hear screams. hahah. I thought it was the TV and it turns out it's from The Fray live acoustic set :P ma bad. My heart skipped a lot of beats. I thought I was being haunted.


Continue, The Fray reminds me of Coldplay, Keane and so on. The soft rock type. If you need some stress relief or you need a good snoozing. The Fray are the ones. I like 'She is' simple and soothing. 'Heaven Forbid' again sad, "Heaven Forbids you end up alone, and don't know why." I feel like sighing throughout the whole song.
