Brandy: Best Friends Lyrics #MM

In times you are down, it's always good to know that there will be a lending hand of reliable family and best friends. For me, just the thought and knowledge of being surrounded by someone caring can brighten up a day and help to ease some burdens of the heart. People who you can count on, no matter if it's better or worse, are one of the most precious blessings in the world.

I really love that this week's Monday Music Moves Me theme is a dedication to the beautiful relation called "Friendship". So the song "Best Friend" by Brandy goes out as a tribute to all of my beloved friends who have been giving me strength and standing by my side, especially when I was struggling through hard times.

Brandy Norwood is better known as Brandy is a multi-talented American artist who made her first debut as the character Danesha Turrell, a supporting actress role in the 1993 sitcom "Thea". She also signed a recording contract with Atlantic in the same year, which lead to the release of Grammy award-winning duet "The Boy is Mine" with Monica in 1994. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has ranked Brandy as one of the top 20 artists of the '90s.

"Best Friend" is the third single taken from the album "Brandy" released in 1994. The song itself was released in June 1995.

Best Friends Lyrics

Verse:
Whenever I'm down I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend in my time of need
So I'm calling you now just to make it through
What else can I do won't you hear my plea
Friends may come and friends may go but you should know that
That I've got your back it's automatic
So never hesitate to call
Cos I'm your sista and always for ya and

Chorus:
I don't know what I ever do without you from the beginning 'til the end
You've always been here right beside me so I call you my best friend
Through the good times and the bad ones whether I lose or if I win
I know one thing that never changes and that's you as my best friend

Verse:
Whenever I'm down and all that's going on is really going on
Just one of those days to ya you said the right things
To keep me moving on to keep me going strong
What else can I say
Friends are there through thick and thin but I've been told that
And I believe in it's automatic so call me when you need a friend
Cos I'm your sista and always for ya and I don't what

Chorous:
I don't know what I ever do without you from the beginning 'til the end
You've always been here right beside me so I call you my best friend
Through the good times and the bad ones whether I lose or if I win
I know one thing that never changes and that's you as my best friend

I don't know (i don't know) what I'd ever do without you (from the beginning) 'til the end (Chillin)
You've always been here right beside me so I call you my best friend

Verse:

Chorous:
I don't know what I ever do without you (don't you know)from the beginning 'til the end
You've always been here right beside me so I call you my best friend(that your my best friend)
Through the good times and the bad ones whether I lose or if I win
I know one thing that never changes and that's you as my best friend

I don't know what I ever do without you(don't know what I'd do) from the beginning 'til the end
You've always been here right beside me so I call you my best friend
Through the good times and the bad ones (through the good and bad ones) whether I lose or if I win
I know one thing that never changes and that's you as my best friend

DBSK Homin: Keep Your Head Down English Lyrics

Thanks for the honor of this week's "Spotlight Dance" at the Monday Music Moves Me Blog Hop. Since the theme is "Freebie", I thought that I would go for a song with an energetic dance choreography to start of the new days. I love the fact that the performance of "Keep Your Head Down" by DBSK Homin actually begins with an amazing spotlight dance.

Did you know that it might take years of training experience for Korean singers to finally debut in a group? Well, may be this explains some of their powerful dancing skills. DBSK, Super Junior and 2PM are just a few popular groups to mention in this category.  It's good to know their hard work really did pay off. I feel a great delight in transforming their enthusiastic dance moves to my own energy.

Right now the beat and moves of "Keep Your Head Down" are on top of my favorite dance performances, though the lyrics of this song usually wouldn't match my personal preferences for messages of warm feelings. I don't think that leaving someone special behind would be easy for me. But, I guess it's something you gotta do once in a while to save your soul from destructing heartache. To be honest, the thought of shooting out "keep your head down" at someone does occasionally cross my mind and I don't want to deny the fact that it could be me who sometimes needs to keep my head down. So, this song suits as great reminder in both ways. LOL

The lyrics of "Keep Your Head Down" have been a great controversy due to DBSK's recent split.  I find it quite sad that the group finally got divided into Homin (Yunho & Changmin) and JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun & Junsu), after the latter members filed an ongoing lawsuit against their former company in 2010. Some people like to believe that the song lyrics were actually directed toward JYJ, though representatives of Homin already tried to deny those rumors.

FYI, the boys were one of the most famous Korean pop groups during 2003-2010. So, it's no wonder that some of their fans are still hoping for a possible reunion. After all, who wouldn't love to see five hot refreshing faces, voices and dancers perform together on one stage again. You can count me in for sure

DBSK / TVXQ Homin
Keep Your Head Down English lyrics

Keep your head down U-Know time (Max)
You know what time it is?
This is return of the king

(Everything has ended) I didn’t even start yet
(We broke up) I haven’t even heard the reason yet
Everyone around me keeps asking me why I’m like this
Why are you like that, why are you like that? I’m already the bad guy

(If it’s a sin) If loving you was a sin
(If that was a shin) If being genuine is a sin
(I’ll keep it low, I’ll keep it low) I’ll hold it in and stand my ground

(Keep your head down)
You look pretty, but inside you’re so different, that’s what I’m afraid of
(Keep your head down)
I said I loved you but I’ll let you go

(Why?) Did you leave me so easily
(Why?) Did I look easy to you?
(Why?) My heart is ripping to shreds
(Why?) If every moment was a dream
(Why?) If only I had the time to set it right
(Why?) I prayed for your happiness

I was always satisfied with having you
I was happy to dream the same dream as you no matter what they said
I had to let you go, but I’m just walking my path anyway
Now I’m just chillin’, Feel like I’m healing

It’s too late, you said you can’t come back
You’ve always believed that I’d crumble without you
That’s a misunderstanding, why would I do that? Why, why, I told you I wouldn’t

(Hey) I was really, really sad, because you were so immature
and I was afraid you’d meet someone bad (Why? baby)

(Keep your head down)
You’re really pretty, but that’s all there is to you, there’s nothing important inside of you
(Keep your head down)
A nail is driven into the heart that is holding in the pain of love

Ha~ Don’t play with people like that
In front of me, all you do is speak of lies
You’re such a two-faced person
(Why why why) Since when did our crystal-like feelings become so opaque?
Our love has ended, I’ve let you go, and now my heart is empty
But my future is gesturing towards me to get up and smile
I’m letting you go, live happily (why why why)
One day far from now, far from now, I want to just smile comfortable

(Why?) Why
(Why?) You let go of our love so easily
(Why?) Did you ever think that someone would get worried?
(Why?) I don’t think you know yet
(Why?) Exactly just what you let go of
(Why?) Just remain there and watch me grow

(Keep your head down)
Erased, disappeared, you’ve burned to death in my heart
(Keep your head down)
Erased, disappeared, you’ve died in my heart and you no longer exist

Growth | Sensational Haiku Wednesday


Growth HaikuThanks to Jenn for this week's theme

Growth


To each his own mind.
Embrace people with a big heart.
Why battles of view?

~RA

Talking about the process toward maturity, the growth of my heart is something I still would like to work on throughout the journey of my life. Coming to a certain state of acceptance is sometimes much easier to talk about than to do. But I believe that with an open mind, a person will be able to come to peace and move forward without having too many burdens on all those differences.

So what contributes to a heavy heart? I think one big factor is that you think something or someone is quite unacceptable toward a set of values. Well, like it or not you gotta keep in mind that not everything or everyone can be put on the same page. We need to try embrace these facts with a big heart or at least acknowledge that differences do exist. No need for useless battles of view. 


The meme basics:

Haiku is simple!
It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively
(a great way to use your fingers!)

I don't create poetry, I create myself,
for me my poems are a way to me.

~Edith Södergran

Keep a poem in your heart.

Wedding | The Muffed Target 21


My sister had been going through her wedding vows on last Sunday, and I really had been looking forward to take as many photos as I could on this special event. I did manage to shot some wonderful moments, but most of the others unfortunately got blurred. The thing is that I didn't expect my hands to become so shaky on this once in a lifetime experience. Note to myself: You are not suitable to become a photographer on emotional events like this. It is good to know that there were also more professional photographers or we would be in big trouble. LOL   

A traditional Indonesian wedding consists of several parts. You can say that two of the main ceremonies are the vows and the reception afterward. But, there might also be held other unique ceremonies at separated places by the family of both sides. Nowadays, things have been kept more simple without neglecting the sacral parts. 

I don't know why, but the part of a father giving away his daughter to her future husband has always been my weak moment while attending weddings. It is considered as a very sacred moment here in Indonesia, where a bride is send off by her parents to go on a new journey with her husband. May be like a bird who flies for the first time out of her nest. Anyway, I couldn't bring myself to hold the camera straight and gave it to my husband. It turned out that even he shook a little. My father's face got blurred.

Kim Tae Woo, Rain & JYP: Brothers & Me (Eng Sub)

Friends who mean like family to you are one of the most precious blessings in life, especially in hard times. I feel as if they are angels in disguise sent from heaven. That's why the song lyrics of "Brothers & Me" performed by Kim Tae Woo featuring Rain and JYP have me moving this week. I have been going through rough moments and needed something to express my gratitude toward loving friends. Thanks to all of you for being there, standing by me on this journey, blowing away sadness and loneliness.

"Brothers & Me" is a song taken from Kim Tae Woo's newest album "T-School" released on March 22nd, 2011. It speaks about the special value of friends who know you better than yourself. Remarkable persons who can make you feel stronger even without saying a word.

Brothers & Me English Lyrics


yeah~ it's been a long time 
three brothers, this is our story
brother and me, brothers and me, my brother JYP
Where am i coming from, what road did i take
How far it was, whatever happens,the person who know everything
To that person, i miss to meet you

Not pretending to be strong, Not even worry
In my vision there is you, every time i see you
Whatever, the person who wont worry
That person, when i misses you

Without a words, the persons who already knows my heart
My brothers and Me, together, we wont feel lonely even for a bit
In this world, if living for one more day too
If i stumble, whatever wounded i had, the first person who comes in mind
To that person, i miss to meet you

When i lost my everything, the first thing i turn to
The same looks in the eye that looking at me
The person who always laugh
That person, when i misses you

Without a words, the persons who already knows my heart
My brothers and Me, together, we wont feel lonely even for a bit
my brothers, my brothers
my brothers come on

Before it's too late, Embraces the importance, That's a great blessings, thank you
that's why we will always be together in many kind weather
Without a words, the persons who already knows my heart

My brothers and Me, together, we wont feel lonely even for a bit
The person who knows me better than me
It seems those strange and special person hard to believe to be exist
