"Glass" by Gavin DeGraw
talent at his finest...an unreleased track about his break up......love singers who are able to emote their songs..
Lyrics:
Fool you made the girl fall in love
you said those beautiful things
she thought you spoke things you mean
Caress her skin like it's glass
she hears your voice making plans
and she just breaks in your hands
Don't wanna see somebody beg
as you feel her heart surrender
you begin to fall
How do you say that something's through
when it never even started
at least not for you
You breathe her air and you leave
you keep your mind on yourself
and like the glass on the shelf
After the heavenly speech
your body throws holy heat
the angels sing when our eyes meet
It wasn't a lie but it wasn't true
I just wanted to make you feel good
just wanted you near
I wasn't prepared I wasn't thinking of you
that you could actually love me
we never should have started
She's dreaming back on the past
every opinion agreed
doesn't know what to believe
It must have been for a cause
our lives have so many doors
don't think about him anymore
But it was the kiss, it took me away
it's like he knew that I am fragile
she said he handled me like glass
and it hurts but it's what I deserve
because I should have been more careful
with the others that I handled
she said I should have been more
I should have been more
and knowing this I know
I don't want to suffer
cause deep down I know that he's glass too
but it really doesn't matter
until it's happening to you
everybody breaks
everybody breaks
sometimes
"Chariot" by Gavin DeGraw
First single for Gavin DeGraw...post is way overdue cos it was a while ago I discovered him being a talent as he is...there are not many impressive male singers....but he is one of them...
Lyrics
Staring at a maple leaf
Leaning on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries
And seedless watermelon ohhhh
Nothing from the ground is good enough
Body rised
It puts over me
[Chorus:]
Oh chariot your golden waves
are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your:
Strength
Remember seeking moons of birth
Rings made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
It is a living promise land
Even over fields of sand
City filled with burden
Cover me
From bringing back
More than a memory
[Chorus]
You'll be my vacation away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup,
It's pouring over the sides
Make me wanna spread my arms and fly
[Chorus]

Bah - Tham
back from the small island of batam....gotta say it is one up on Redang given our more than extravagant resort. We were really treated like kings and queens.....
Here is why:
- we were picked up from the ferry terminal
- the resort staff open the doors for us
- on checking in, we were given a welcome drink
- we were then chauffered to our resort room
- the resort staff were all smiles everyday
- etc etc ( I can't really remember all though)
Basically it was an RnR trip. Time was not of a factor over there cos everything was so slow paced. 1 hour seemed like 2 over there. Basically, we just busked in the sun, had some massages and body scrubs, tanned beside the pool, sipped some cocktails at the poolside etc.....
yes my blog entry is not exactly very detail cos memory is failing me....hopefully i will have the photos to make a chronological order of what we did but all in all the resort gave the exact definition to the words idyllic, serene and peaceful....bah
