Jonas Brothers

OMG! I absolutely love the music by Jonas Brothers! They are literally brothers btw.

Just look, they all have the same eyes! All so small and squinty. LOL.

Teen pop, that’s my kind of music, my cup of tea. This song is absolutely the best music I’ve heard from a teen pop band since Busted. Wonderful!

Hold On

by Jonas Brothers

We don’t have time left to regret
It will take more than common sense
So stop your wondering take a stand
Theres more to life than just to live

Cause an empty room can be so loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

One single smile a helping hand
Its not that hard to be a friend
So don’t give up stand ’til the end
Theres more to life than just to live

Cause an empty room can be so loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When you love someone
And they break your heart
don’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When it falls apart
And your feeling lost
All your hope is gone
don’t forget to hold on, hold on

Cause an empty room can be so loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When you love someone
And they break your heart
don’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on

Cause an empty room can be so loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When you love someone
And they break your heart
don’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Here’s the video too!

And look who they met in England…

David Cook

Time of My Life

by David Cook

I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
I’m searchin’ for that magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave in the love
Watch all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
Feelin’ my world start to turn

And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time
This is the time to be
More than a name or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life…

Holdin’ onto things that
Vanish into the air
Left me in pieces but
Now I’m rising from the ashes
Findin’ my wings and all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
as close as the beat of my heart

And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time
This is the time to be
More than a name or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life…

Now I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
Keepin’ my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
Facing the sun

And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time
This is the time to be
More than a name or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life…

More than a name or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life…

This is the time of my life…
Time of my life…

I Wonder

Just found this song by Kellie Pickler. 5th runner up of American Idol 5. Beautiful song. It’s about her mother who left her to her “abusive” dad when she was only 2. Very emotional song.

I Wonder

by Kellie Pickler

Sometimes I think about you
Wonder if you’re out there somewhere thinking bout me
And would you even recognize
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
Cause I look in the mirror and all I see
Are your brown eyes looking back at me
They’re the only thing you ever gave to me at all

Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me

I think about how it ain’t fair
That you weren’t there to braid my hair
Like mothers do
You weren’t around to cheer me on
Help me dress for my high school prom
Like mothers do
Did you think I didn’t need you here
To hold my hand
To dry my tears
Did you even miss me through the years at all

Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me

Forgiveness is such a simple word
But it’s so hard to do when you’ve been hurt

Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
And just in case you’re wondering about me
From now on I won’t be in Carolina
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off to Tennessee

Here’s the MV so that you can sing along too.

She sang this song during the CMA Awards and had an emotional break down when she sang the song. She won all 3 awards she was nominated for.

Heart breaking… T_T

So Close by Jon McLaughlin

So Close by Jon McLaughlin

as seen and heard in Disney’s latest, Enchanted.

Probably one of Disney’s best love songs.

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

Sheffield University Symphony Orchestra

Just back from the concert. Once again, wonderful evening of music. 3 inspiring pieces by 3 classical composers. The hall was more pack than it was at the previous concert by Sheffield University Wind Orchestra. Once again, I can say that GBP 2.50 well spent. Unfortunately this is the last orchestra concert for the autumn season. The next season will start in Spring. Can’t wait for more!

Happy! Happy!

I finally got the tickets! My wonderful, lovely, thin pieces of cut paper printed off a computer printer tickets!

2 tickets to be precise.

The orange one is the ticket to watch the Department of Music’s concert featuring Sheffield University Symphony Orchestra which I was talking about in my previous post about the Sheffield University Wind Orchestra. Costs me GBP 2.50 (student price). It’s happening this Sunday, 3rd December, 1930 hours, which coincidentally happens to be my mum’s birthday too. Well, I’ve already sent the birthday card to Malaysia and I’ll give her a call to wish her. The card should be around India’s air space now (if a plane actually flies in the air for 5 days straight, if you get what I mean).

And the white ticket is my ticket to the wonderful city of York! Organized by MASSOC (the Malaysian and Singaporean Students Society) of Sheffield. It’s a day trip with tantalizing sightseeing treats and tempting Christmas shopping haven. 9th December is the day and I can’t wait for it! I heard from many that York is a wonderful place, different from other cities in a special way. Well, the only way for me to find out is to actually BE THERE! So I’ll be there on that Saturday! And the ticket is priced at GBP 7.00 (for members).

It’s going to be two wonderful weekends to usher in the Christmas holidays!

Sheffield University Wind Orchestra

Yup. That’s what I went for today. I just had the best evening of my life. I went for an evening concert organized by the music department of the university.

A full wind orchestra on stage with a leading conductor. And the best thing of all, LIVE music! A list of instruments are 12 flutes, 2 piccolos, 6 oboes, 1 cor anglais, 2 bassoons, 1 eb clarinet, 12 clarinets, 1 alto clarinet, 1 bass clarinet, 5 alto saxophones, 2 tenor saxophones, 1 baritone saxophone, 2 horns, 13 trumpets, 4 trombones, 4 euphoniums, 3 tubas, 1 string bass, 6 percussion and finally 1 piano.

They even had a complimentary glass of wine for each and everyone! 1 hour of music, a 10 minute interval for everyone to drink wine and then another hour of music till the end.

And all I paid was GBP 2.50! I definitely think that the money was very well spent. Next, 3rd December - Sheffield University Symphony Orchestra! I can’t wait!

Christina Aguilera - Hurt

Another nice song by Christina. Wonderful lyrics, touching music and excellent video.

Hurt by Christina Aguilera

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh, ooh

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you’ve done
Forgive all your mistakes
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won’t be there

Ohh I’m sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won’t admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide ’cause it’s you I miss
And it’s so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this, oooh

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back

Ohh I’m sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself, ohh

If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I’ve missed you
Since you’ve been away
Ooh, it’s dangerous
It’s so out of line
To try and turn back time

I’m sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself by hurting you

Live performace during the VMAs.
