born to love you

Kenapa ya, lagu-lagu yang berngiang-ngiang di kepala gue belakangan ini lebih banyak lagu-lagu yang beginian? Lagu-lagu yang menjadi kegemaran gue waktu gue lagi sakit dan otak gue lagi nggak beres. Gue inget, waktu gue minta MP3 lagu ini ke temen gue, dia bilang "Nggak boleh. Lu nggak boleh denger lagu-lagu begini. Ntar nggak sembuh-sembuh." Makasih ya, temen, udah nglarang gue denger lagu ini waktu itu. Walaupun gue tau, elu ngomong gitu karena elu emang males nyariin mp3nya, bukan karena emang sayang ama gue..hehehehe...

-------
You walk into my life, and change the balance of my days
With your eyes you say: I am yours and you are mine
But still, something's very wrong, no I can't just go along
Though you want to stay, I must find a reason to delay

We're not the same, you play a game, I know
But if I keep my feelings strong, I'll find the song you sing
Though I can tell we're worlds apart and in my heart it's clear
That love has found a cloudy day, I'm here to say that I was born to love you

Such a lovely face, with a warm and tender smile
Though I want you so, something deep inside keeps saying
Don't trust your heart this time
Could my mind be playing games?
Am I so betrayed, that my heart and mind can never be the same?

George Duke

Gue juga jadi inget, pernah diceramahin juga mengenai heart and mind ini. Oleh orang yang bikin gue sakit. Well...

it is well with my soul

This hymn somewhat strengthen me when I feel down. The lyric maker was in a condition where he lost his children in a ship collision and he was financially ruined after great Chicago fire. This lyric was inspired to him when his ship passed the spot where his children died .

Somehow I understand that so many people have gotten through more than what I get through.

~~~~~~~~~~
When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot Thou has taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul

Though the devil will ruin, though trials may come
Let this blessed assurance control
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And He shed His own blood for my soul

It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul

And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight
And the clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul

all i am

This is my all time favourite song! I don't have to be in a specific mood to love this song! By Heatwave:

~~~~~~~

Who do you think you see, when you look at me?
Is it somebody strong? Somebody you could admire?
Or, who do you think I am, when I take your hand?
Are you counting on me to fill your dreams and your desire?

Well, all I am is lonely just like you.
All I want to do is have one dream come true.
All I am is handing you my heart, hoping to be part of you....

Who do you think you are, standing in the dark?
Are you waiting for me? Why can't I reach you from here?
And how do I get to you? Won't you let me through?
Don't you think maybe we have something special to be shared?

someone that i used to love

Dulu, duluuu sekali. Dulu sekali yang tidak terlalu dulu, sebenarnya. Lagu ini khusus gue cari untuk mengingatkan gue tentang hal-hal yang sebenernya nggak perlu gue ingat.

..........
When I wake up each morning trying to find myself. And if I'm ever the least unsure I'll always remind myself:
though you're someone in this world that I'll always choose to love, from now on you're only someone that I used to love.

As for me, it's getting down to the last unspoken part. When you must begin to ease the pain of a broken heart.
Tell me, why should I even care if I have to lose your love?
From now on you're only someone that I used to love.

I wished it was enough for you, all the love I had to give.
And I did my best to keep you satisfied. I guess you'll never know how much I tried, I really tried.
And if ever our path should cross again, well, you won't find me being the one to get lost again.
Once I had so much to give, but you just refused my love. From now on, you're only someone that I used to love.
