One of my favourite Travis songs, from their album called Singles:

The Distance

Do you remember
How you were gonna stay free?
But they had plans for you
And things to do
The same thing goes for me
Well well I never
Saw it coming to me
But when I turned around
To look at you
It was all that I could do

To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I’m no different
Feeling like the only one

In the beginning
Everything was so close
And it seemed that everywhere you go
Everybody knows

You don’t remember
What you wanted to be
Well they went round the class
And you were last
The clock was fast
So no one asked

To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I’m no different
Feeling like the only one

Well how long can you run?
How far and what for?
How far will you run
To get whatever you’re after
Year after year after year

Well I’ve been looking
But I still can’t see
How we get from a to b to c
And feel like we should be

Well I’ve been running
But I’ve been running around
Now there’s nothing left for me to do
But sit around and see the view

And see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I’m no different
Feeling like the only one

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

Ever come across a song that completely expressed how you felt at the moment? A song that you barely seemed to have paid attention to earlier, but suddenly everything is clear and you play it again and again and again only to listen to the words. I have such songs all the time. Three months ago it would have been a melancholy old classic, but for a few days I can’t help but listen to this song again and again and nod my head in approval of every single word (because of the nice lyrics) and tapping my feet too (because of the awesome music).

Song : Kar Salaam Kar Salaam
Music : Pritam Chakraborty
Lyrics : Syed Quadri
Singers : Pritam, Suhail, Soham

Kyun Jindagi Se Ho Shikava Gila…
Yeh Hasati Hai Roti Hai, Jo Bhi Hai Jaisi Hai
Jo Bhi Yeh Deti Hai Woh Hai Tera
Kar Salaam…

Nakhre Utha Isake Nakhre Utha…
Haan Dhoop Bhi Hai Yeh, Chhaanv Bhi Hai Yeh
Jo Bhi Yeh Deti Hai, Tu Maan Ja
Kar Salaam…

Kho Jaana, Pa Jaana, Na Paana, Hai Jindagi Jaane Le
Bik Jaana, Loot Jaana, Bass Jaana Hai Jindagi Maan Le
Ho Ho Ho Karle Yakin, Jo Kal Gaya Woh Phir Se Aata Nahin
Ho Ho Ho Gujra Huva Jo Waqt Hai Woh Dastak Lagaata Nahin
Jo Aaj Hai Bass Wahi Hai Tera…
Ha Kya Teri Hasti Hai, Mitti Ki Basti Hai
Pal Mein Hi Ho Jaati Hai Yeh Fanaa
Kar Salaam…

Kyun Jindagi Se Ho Shikava Gila…
Yeh Hasati Hai Roti Hai, Jo Bhi Hai Jaisi Hai
Jo Bhi Yeh Deti Hai Woh Hai Tera
Kar Salaam…

Well the video is not really interesting..am including it only for the audio..Do listen to this for the wonderful music.

Do we really pay attention to all the lyrics of a song that we are listening to? I just got a new cell-phone which allows me to store about 90 songs in MP3 format (this, though not a novelty for me is a very pleasing thing because I’m happy anywhere as long as there is some music) So i stuffed it with all my favourite songs. And one day i decided to pay attention to what i was listening to……..this is what i listen to…….

…….May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you’ll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance…..                         Lee Ann Womak

 

 ……..Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
“Pride will tear us both apart”
Well now pride’s gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some’d say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive…..                            Ordinary World - Duran Duran

 

 

…..I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
but I’m so lonely I don’t even want to be with myself anymore…..            

                                                                Honestly ok - Dido

 

……..Ok then back to basics grab your shell toes and your fat laces
A little hand clap for some funk faces and make your body move in the following places
Goes up your back and then down your spine and when it hits your head…

                                                                     (hehehehe..) …..Rudebox - Robbie Williams

 

…….If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm
You are the music
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
You get what you’re given
It’s all how you use it…….                      (hmmm -)..God is a DJ - Pink

 

…..Lines ever more unclear
Not sure I’m even here
The more I look the more I think that I’m
Starting to disappear

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I’m fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong….                                             Crystal Ball - Keane

 

…….So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

I’ll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty…..                                  What I’ve Done - Linkin park

 

 

……..And the storm keeps on twisting

you keep on building the lie

that you make up for all that you lack

it don’t make no difference

escaping one last time

it’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh

this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel

fly away from here

from this dark cold hotel room

and the endlessness that you fear

you are pulled from the wreckage

of your silent reverie

you’re in the arms of the angel

may you find some comfort there……                    …..Angel - Sarah Machlachlan

 

 

 

 

 

Ok..these are only some of the songs…more can come later…but for now these are all the lyrics that i can remember.. :-)

 

 

OK. Don’t kill me people. Mirka is cute and i know Roger is already with her. But i saw this video and cracked up. And i couldn’t stop laughing till it was over. I really wonder why the person who made this video thought of James Blunt’s “You’re beautiful (by the way i love the original video for that song too) Watch it…Just for laughs :-D

Now here is something i really liked. It is one of the most watched videos on Youtube . So i guess most people will have already seen it. But this one has to be included in my first post involving videos. He is so amazing that i don’t know whether to believe that it is for real. There are thousands of videos of professional people; famous artists. But i loved this one because even though this guy is awesome, he has jammed it in his bedroom!! :-)
