Craig David: Walking Away Lyrics #MM

It's another Monday and I hope all of us will have a great week. If there is something or someone troubling your heart, how about just walking away to find a better day? Some things are just not worth to bother for. Try to let go and set your feelings free. 

Craig David is an English R&B singer from Southampton,  Hampshire. His first single "Fill Me In" released in 1999 turned him into the  first youngest male artist in the UK to reach a number one hit at the age of 19.

The song "Walking Away" written by David and Mark Hill was taken from the 7th track of Craig David's debut album "Born To Do It" in 2000. It reached number one in New Zealand and as far as I can remember was also a great hit in Indonesia. I hope you enjoy the music as much as I do.

Walking Away lyrics

I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away

sometimes some people get me wrong
when it's something I've said or done
sometimes you feel there is no fun
that's why you turn and run
but now I truly realise
some people don't wanna compromise
well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies
and well I don't wanna live a lie, too many sleepless nights
not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say lady

I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away

Well I'm so tired baby
things you say you're driving me away
whispers in the powder room baby
don't listen to the games they play
girl I thought you'd realise
I'm not like them other guys
coz I saw them with my own eyes
you should've been more wise
and well I don't wanna live a lie, too many sleepless nights
not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say lady

I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away

One Republic: Come Home Lyrics #MM

This week's Musical Monday is held in the spirit of Veterans Day in the US. So, I thought that I would search for a song dedicated to all the men and women who have been sent out to war, nevertheless about their country and nationality. I hope that everyone will come home to the ones they love and someday war can be put to an end. November is also the month of Blog Blast for Peace and I find this moving song as a wonderful contribution for promoting peace.

One Republic is an American band from Colorado Springs that started their carrier through MySpace since 2002, before they made their first debut album in 2007 called Dreaming Out Loud. The song Come Home was taken from the 12th track on this album.

If you have time, I would like to recommend you to check out JalapaoMaji's channel on Youtube for more beautiful videos. I must say that they were quite stunning and I thought that you might enjoy watching them as well.

Come Home lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello world
Hope you're listening
Forgive me if I’m young
For speaking out of turn
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me
They’re in the wrong place trying to make it right
But I’m tired of justifying
So i say you’ll...

[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home
Oh

[Verse 2]
I get lost in the beauty
Of everything i see
The world ain’t as half as bad
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now..Yeahh
Well maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
Until then

[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
Oh

[Interlude]
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
So hear this now

[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
Come home

Preparation | Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Thanks to Jenn for this week's theme

Preparation

Life is uncertain.
Thus, may come whatever comes.
Just try to hold on.

Give strength to the soul.
Be ready conquering fears.
You shall embrace bliss.


~RA

So many questions are coming up through our life. Some are easy to answer, some are not. We seem never to be ready enough to see what approaches within the next step. So prepare yourself as good as you can, but also go with the flow. Try to hold on, even though at the particular moment you don't really feel like it. A strong, warm heart never hurts. It's something you need on the ride to reach out for bliss.

The Corrs: Everybody Hurts | Mount Merapi Eruption #MM

You can hear the song Everybody Hurts performed by The Corrs on almost every Indonesian television channel these days. The song hopefully gives away a sense of courage and enlightenment toward all the pain and struggle people in our nation are currently going through due the eruptions of Mount Merapi. But, let's also not forget about the victims of Wasior and Mentawai who need prayers and help.

Mount Merapi has still no attentions to close down on its activity. Several cities have been under the impact of its volcanic ashes and many flight schedules had been canceled because of thick and hot smoke. I have found a video on Youtube with the song Everybody Hurts by The Corrs that can show you some of the damage and tragedy by Mount Merapi's eruptions. Please, don't get tired of me asking you for prayers and good thoughts on Indonesia. Thank you.

The Corrs is a folk rock band featuring the Corr siblings from Ireland who gained international success in 1996, after performing at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and supporting Celine Dion on her Falling Into You Tour.

The song Everybody Hurts was originally released by the American rock band R.E.M. in their 1992 album Automatic by The People. The Corrs released their cover version as 14th track on their CD album The Corrs Unplugged in 1999.

Everybody Hurts lyrics

When your day is long
And the night
The night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough of this life
Well hang on

Don't let yourself go
Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
(When your day is night alone)
Hold on, hold on
(If you feel like letting go)
Hold on
If you think you've had too much of this life
Well hang on

Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
When you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone

If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on

Well, everybody hurts
Sometimes, everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

And everybody hurts
Sometimes

So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Everybody hurts
You are not alone)

Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) 2010

This is the second time I'm participating in Blog Blast for Peace, since last year. Because I really do believe that even though it seems quite difficult to achieve world wide peace right now, everything has to start from a certain point. So, where better to start than from within yourself. Like the quote from Robert Fulghum says, "Peace is not something you wish for; it's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away."

Vote for Peace, everyone.
It's worth to try. 

Thanks to Mimi Lenox

When nature mourns;
Lands and mounts and seas collide.
Why point the finger?

Souls left without paths.
Grief and loss are on the roll.
Time to lend a hand.

~RA

The natural disaster of Mount Merapi is still not on a hold today and I wish that I could do more to help all those souls in need, including the victims in Wasior and Mentawai. It has occurred to me that in these sad hours, many kind of faces have come to surface. Please, let's not point the finger at somebody else and just give a lending hand. Thinking the other way around seems so absurd to me right now. Grief and loss is certainly on the roll, so helping others to keep and raise their belief should be in top priority by any means.

To me prayers and good thoughts can't be left out from life. Because they can work miracles to show you directions, even in the darkest hours. I hope you don't mind that I'm asking you again to keep Indonesia in mind, everyone. Thank you.

Scorpion: Send Me An Angel #MM

These week's MM is dedicated to all the victims of Wasior, Mentawai and Mount Merapi. It has been a devastating week here in Indonesia and I hope that at the end of these tragic events, everyone will be back on their feet again, even though it may take some time.  Please, send your prayers and good thoughts. Thank you, my dear friends.

Mount Merapi is still active until this very moment and people are anticipating the possibility of further eruptions. Among the victims who have lost their life in previous pyroclastic flows is Mbah Maridjan, a popular person known as spiritual guardian or gatekeeper of the mount. He died in the line of duty at the age of  83 and was survived by his wife and five children. May he rest in peace.

Scorpions is a German rock band from Hannover. The song Send Me An Angel was taken from their album Crazy World in 1990.

Send Me An Angel lyrics

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
