Imagine Dragons - It's Time

After listening to this song over & over again from TM advertisement, I'm hooked to the chorus... and then I'm hooked even more after listening to the whole song. This song will be my driving song for a while :P

It's time to begin, isn't it?   --> YES!
I get a little bit bigger (not literally, please... no bigger than now)
but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am --> but, I will always improve myself!

Hope you'll enjoy this song.

*****

So this is what you meant

When you said that you were spent

And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit

Right to the top

Don't hold back

Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down

I don't ever wanna leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

So this is where you fell

And I am left to sell

The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell

Right to the top

Don't look back

Turning the rags and giving the commodities a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down

I don't ever wanna leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

This road never looked so lonely

This house doesn't burn down slowly

To ashes, to ashes

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

A.P.I - Pelita

OST: Hooperz
I love this song! The chorus is so motivating :)
*In Malay*

*****

A.P.I - Pelita

Tak pernah sesaat daku meragui

apa yang telah daku temui

selama ini,

Tak pernah sesaat daku menyesali

apa yang telah aku nikmati

apa ku alami

selagi hayat di kandung badan

Takkan ku menyerah kalah

walau mimpi ku musnah

harapan ku hancur

sayapku patah

kan ku pancarkan cahaya,

seperti pelita ke serata dunia,

yang gelap gelita

sehingga hembusan nafas

yang terakhir

tak pernah sesaat ku mencurigai

apa yg telah aku kecapi

setakat ini

tiba saatnya kan ku tangisi

pada yang pergi, takkan kembali

Kembali lagi

selagi hayat di kandung badan

Takkan ku menyerah kalah

walau mimpi ku musnah

harapan ku hancur

sayapku patah

akan ku pancarkan cahaya

seperti pelita ke serata dunia

yang gelap gelita

sehingga hembusan nafas

yang terakhir

Selagi jasadku belum terkubur!

Selagi tubuhku, belum ditimpa uzur!

pantang datuk nenek moyangku,

Berundur!

Chorus 2X

Takkan ku menyerah kalah

walau mimpi ku musnah

harapan ku hancur

sayapku patah

kan ku pancarkan cahaya

seperti pelita ke serata dunia

yang gelap gelita

sehingga hembusan nafas

yang terakhir

Akan Ku Pancar Cahaya Seperti Pelita

Ke Serata Dunia

Seperti Cahaya...

Suhaimi Mior Hassan - Kalau Berpacaran

*In Malay*

Good song... Good lyric... Good advice...
A reminder to all of us... single or not...

*****

Suhaimi Mior Hassan (Feat. Ana Raffali & Altimet)

Kalau berpacaran memang banyak pantang larang

Menjaga susila ibu bapa adik abang

Apabila berdua carilah tempat yang terang

Agar tidak pula mencoba aksi terlarang

Chorus

Boleh pandang-pandang...

Jangan pegang-pegang...

Duduk renggang-renggang...

Bertambah sayang...

Biar malu-malu..

Biar segan-segan...

Kerna malu itu perisai orang beriman.

Kalau berpacaran jangan tunggu lama-lama

Kalau dah berkenan jumpalah ayah dan mama

Hantarkan rombongan meminang dengan segera

Kalau terlambat kekasihmu disambar buaya

Chorus

Yeah kita sambung cerita

Kalau kamu berdua aku yang ketiga

Aku penambah perasa

Akulah pendarab nafsu serakah

Hai teruna bikin perangai selamba

Hati si dara kata tak apa

Berani buat terima padah

Kalau tak sedia ucap syahadah

Chorus

Boleh pandang-pandang (boleh pandang-pandang)

Jangan pegang-pegang (boleh pegang-pegang)

Duduk renggang-renggang (duduk rapat-rapat)

Bertambah sayang (nanti confirm dapat)

Biar malu-malu (jangan malu-malu)
Biar segan-segan (jangan segan-segan)

Kerna malu itu perisai orang beriman.

Hah hah haaa...

Yolanda Adams - I Believe

They said you wouldn't make is so far uh uh
And ever since they said it, it's been hard
But nevermind the nights you had to cry
Cause you have never let it go inside
You worked real hard
And you know exactly what you want and need
So believe and you can never give up
You can reach your goals
Just talk to your soul and say?

(Chorus:)
I believe I can (I can)
I believe I will (I will)
I believe I know my dreams are real (know my dreams are real)
I believe I'll stand (Oh yea)
I believe I'll dance
I believe I'll grow real soon and (That's why)
That is what I do believe

Your goals are just a thing in your soul uh uh
And you know that your moves will let them show
You keep creating pictures in your mind
So just believe they will come true in time
It will be fine
Leave all of your cares and stress behind
Just let it go
Let the music flow inside
Forget all your pain
And just start to believe

(Chorus:)
I believe I can (I believe I can oh yea)
I believe I will
I believe I know my dreams are real (All of my dreams are real)
I believe I'll stand
I believe I'll dance (I gotta dance)
I believe I'll grow real soon and (ooo)
That is what I do believe
Whoa oa oa YEA?

(Music break)

Nevermind what people say
Hold your head high and turn away
With all our hopes and dreams
I will believe
Even though it seems it's not for me
I won't give up I'll keep it up
Look into the sky
I will achieve all my needs
I will always believe?.OoOo

(Chorus 2x)
I believe I can
I believe I will (I can)
I believe I know my dreams are real (I got strength)
I believe I'll stand
I believe I'll dance (I gotta dance)
I believe I'll grow real soon and (watch me watch me watch me)
That is what I do believe (I do believe in me)

I believe I can
I believe I will (oh yea)
I believe I know my dreams are real
I believe I'll stand
I believe I'll dance (I gotta dance)
I believe I'll grow real soon and
That is what I do believe (I do believe! yayeeyay)

Happy 1431 Hijrah Everyone…

I welcomed Maal Hijrah with prayers on evening yesterday… and also with hope as high as the sky.

I have real good Maal Hijrah memories for the first 3 years in secondary school. Maal Hijrah was an event that I look forward to. Every year we performed nasyid at Islamic Center in Kuala Lumpur. The first year, we sang nasyid together with delegates from other government departments. In the 3rd year, we got to sing on stage in-front of Sultan Azlan Shah… that was a great experience… and we got a waqaf Al-Quran from Egypt government as a souvenir...

The first 3 years in secondary school, I was really active with my nasyid choir… we were so cool… nerdy cool… hahahaaaa…

I still remember all the Maal Hijrah songs that we sang… I don’t remember the titles though… so, absorb to heart the lyrics below. If you want to hear the song, maybe I’ll sing and upload them here… I have to warn you though. That might bring 'thunderstorms'… heheheheeee…

* The lyrics are all in Malay… sorry…

The last song is my favorite :)

1 Muharram detik permulaan
Perkiraan tahun Islam Hijrah
Perpindahan Nabi & umat Islam
Dari kota Mekah ke kota Madinah

Atas keyakinan & iman yg teguh
Kaum Muhajirin & Ansar bersatu
Rela berkorban, harta & nyawa
Demi menegakkan Islam tercinta

Hijrah itu pengorbanan
Hijrah itu perjuangan
Hijrah itu persaudaraan
Hijrah membentuk perpaduan

Oleh itu, mari semua
Kita sambut Maal Hijrah
Tekadkan semangat, tegakkan syiar Islam
Untuk sepanjang zaman...
Untuk sepanjang zaman...

Untuk sepanjang zamannnnnn...

Hijrah!
*****

Hijrah Muhammad Rasullullah
Dari Mekah ke Madinah
Membela kehidupan ummah
Hilang gentar, datang rahmat.

Muliamu dan amanahmu
Mengkagumkan dunia maju
Tunjuklah semua yang ragu
Mengakui Allah yang satu

Riangnya hati kaum Ansar
Menyambut Rasul yang berbudi
Basah airmata mengalir
Terharukan wajah suci

*****

Berhijrah dari derita
Berhijrah dari sengsara
Berhijrah kita dari berdosa
Berhijrah dari noda

Hidup ini kan kita isi
Kekuatan tanpa terhenti
Menuju arah redha Ilahi
Pelihara harga diri

Maal Hijrah seribu erti
Bersamalah Hijrah sejati
Berhijrah sepenuh hati
Itulah Hijrah hakiki

Dalam hijrah ada perpaduan
Dalam hijrah ada kemesraan
Dalam hijrah ada keamanan

Hiduplah Maal Hijrah!

*****

So, happy Maal Hijrah to all my fellow muslims. May this new year brings more meaning and success to all of us.

Rascal Flatts - Stand

Loving this...
*****

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough

You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off

Then you stand...
Then you stand...

Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone

Start holding on...
Keep holding on

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place

Vanessa Williams - Colours of the Wind

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned ?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
In a cirle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you there hes been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

How high does the sycamore grow ?
If you cut it down, then youll never know

And youll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We just sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All youll own is earth until
You can paint with all colors of the wind

(OST of Pocahontas)

Hilary Duff - Fly

In a moment everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute all the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust its longing and take control?

[CHORUS]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
'Cause it's your time
Time to fly

All your worries, leave them somewhere else
Find a dream you can follow
Reach for something when there's nothing else
And the world's feeling hollow

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust its longing and take control?

[CHORUS]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
'Cause it's your time
Time to fly

And when you're down and feel alone,
Just want to run away
Trust yourself and don't give up
You know you better than anyone else

In a moment everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute all the world can wait
Let go of yesterday

[CHORUS]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Fly
forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
'cause it's your time
time to fly

In a moment, everything can change

Miley Cyrus - The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith...

Take That - Never Forget

We've come a long way, but we're not too sure where we've been.
We've had success, we've had good times, but remember this.

1.Been on this path of life for so long,
feel I've walked a thousand miles,
sometimes strolled hand in hand with love,
ev'ry body's been there.

With danger on my mind I would stand on the line of hope,
I knew I could make it,
once I knew the boundaries,
I looked into the clouds and saw my face in the moonlight,

just then I realized what a fool I could be,
just cause I look so high I don't have to see me,
finding a paradise wasn't easy but still,
there's a road going down the other side of this hill.

Never forget where you've come here from,
never pretend that it's all real,
someday... soon this will all be someone else's dream,
this will be someone else's dream.

2. Been safe from the arms of disappointment for so long,
feel each day we've come too far,
yet each day seems to make much more.
Sure is good to be here,

I understand the meaning of 'I can't explain this feeling' now
and it feels so unreal.
At night I see the hand that reminds me of the stand that I make,
the fact of reality.

Never forget where you've come here from,
never pretend that it's all real,
someday... soon this will all be someone else's dream,
this will be someone else's dream.

We've come so far and we've reach so high,
and we've look each day and night in the eye
and we're still so young and we hope for more.
But remember this,

we're not invincible,
we're not invincible, (No)
we're only people, we're only people, hey
we're not invincible, we're not invincible.

So agaon I'll tell you,
never forget where you're come here from,
never pretend that it's all reall,
someday... soon this will be all someone else's dream,
this will be someone else's dream.

Zubir Ali - Doa

Tuhanku
Dalam termangu
Ku sebut namaMu
Biar susah sungguh
Mengingati Kau
Penuh seluruh

Tuhanku cahayaMu
Panas suci
Bagai kerdip lilin
Di kelam sunyi

Tuhanku
Aku hilang bentuk
Kembara di negeri asing
Tuhanku
PintuMu ku ketuk
Aku tak bisa berpaling

(lagu nyanyian Zubir Ali, pernah dipopularkan Aishah)

Ebiet G Ade - Berita Kepada Kawan

Perjalanan ini terasa sangat menyedihkan
sayang engkau tak duduk di sampingku kawan
banyak cerita yang mestinya kau saksikan
di tanah kering berbatuan

Tubuhku terguncang dihempas batu jalanan
hati tergetar menambah kering rerumputan
perjalanan ini seperti jadi saksi
gembala kecil menangis sedih

Kawan coba dengar apa jawabnya
ketika kutanya mengapa
bapa ibunya telah lama mati
ditelan bencana tanah ini

sesampainya di laut kukhabarkan semuanya
kepada karang kepada ombak kepada matahari
tetapi semua diam tetapi semua bisu
tinggal aku sendiri terpaku menatap langit

Barangkali di sana jawabnya
mengapa di tanahku terjadi bencana
mungkin Tuhan mulai bosan melihat tingkah kita
yang selalu salah dan bangga dengan dosa-dosa
atau alam mulai enggan bersahabat dengan kita
coba kita bertanya pada rumpun yang bergoyang

Joey Mcintyre - Stay The Same

Don't you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are.When you learn to love yourself, you�re better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,cuz there�s nothin' 'bout you I would change.

Verse
I think that you could be whatever you wanted to be
If you could realize, all the dreams you have inside.
Don't be afraid if you've got something to say,
Just open up your heart and let it show you the way.

Chorus

Bridge
Believe in yourself.
Reach down inside.
The love you find will set you free.
Believe in yourself, you will come alive.
Have faith in what you do.
You'll make it through.

Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when, You don't say a thing

[CHORUS:]
The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best,
When you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may, they could never define
What's been said
Between your heart and mine

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

[Repeat chorus]

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

Michael Bolton - Go The Distance

I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its harms
I don't care how far, i can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

Sister Hazel - Change Your Mind

Hey, Hey
Did you ever think
There might be another way
To just feel better,
Just feel better about today

Oh no
If you never want to have
To turn and go away
You might feel better,
Might feel better if you stay

Bridge
Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard
A word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough
Of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in…

Chorus
If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind...

Hey hey
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining- just for shining
Or the sea?
Oh no- take it all in
The world's a show
And yeah, you look much better,
Look much better when you glow

Bridge & Chorus

Hey hey
what ya say
We both go and seize the day
'cause what's your hurry
what's your hurry anyway

Bridge & Chorus

Clay Aiken - On My Way Here

I took my first step
On that black and white kitchen floor
I sometimes wonder if that house
Is even there, anymore
I had my first glimpse of love
When I was five
I watched two people split apart
But still the three of us survived

I've seen the best
I've seen the worst
I wouldn't change what I've been through
I've touched the sky
I've hit the wall
But I did what I had to
Ooooohhhh

On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want to leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here.

Oh yeah yeaaah

My address has changed
Almost every year
I've found that standing still
Can quickly make a lifetime disappear
I'd rather try and fail
A thousand times denied
And this, whenever you feel pain
It lets you know that you're alive

I've been a fool
I've been afraid
Yeah, I've been loved
I've been lied to
I've been wrong
And I've been right
I stood up when I had to

Yeah Yeahhhh

On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want to leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here.

No guarantees
I believed that I would find
An open door or a light
To lead me to the other side
I guess that is why

On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want to leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here
