… but you’re not — here, i mean. so, maybe it’s kinda weird that i’m posting this, yeah?

ugh, here i am again, having a conversation with myself. whatever. anyway, let’s just get on with the music for tonight. heard this on today’s episode of american idol (katelyn epperly) but found this waaaay better (original) live performance by carole king herself.

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around

Oh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can’t stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around

Oh, darling, when you’re near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something that I just can’t tame
I’ve just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold all over

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down

…is your head not right
Did you hear my warning
This is the time of times

And your head feels like your body
You mind is close behind
There’s a teardrop on your shoulder
Says this is the time of times
It’s the time of times again

- Badly Drawn Boy | Time of Times

Can you tell me, can you tell me what went wrong?
Guess I should have seen it coming all along
Gotta fight it, I gotta be strong
I gotta do something, can’t let it drag on and on …

Of all the people
Of all the people to let me down
Of all the people
Of all the people…why now?

- Dinosaur Jr, Said The People

* Finally, Skins Series 4 started Jan 28. First ep was Thomas. Frankly, I don’t give a shit — except that he cheated. Ugh.

* Of all the people, Naomi, why?!

* Episode 2 was Emily. Great acting, I’m totally sold on Kathryn Prescott and Lily Loveless. Totally loved the episode (except for the whole *cheating* thing again), but absolutely hated what happened. I also liked that scene in the football field with the cross-processed filter thing on again. Much <3. BTW, props for the awesome music again.

I’m miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

- Set Fire To The Third Bar, Snow Patrol feat. Martha Wainwright

lovin’ you is just like breathin’ in and breathin’ out.

I wish that I could be
In the cellars of the sea
And disappear in them
Never to be seen again

Leave this life
Its unrelenting appetite
For feeding off the weak
Who never had their turn to speak

The sky will be my shroud
A monument of cloud

If we could turn back
You can paper over the crack
But it will return now
And your heart will burn black

Give me your hand
Cut the skin, let me in
The molecules of us
Bleeding into one again

The sky will be my shroud
A cenotaph of cloud

If we could turn back
You can paper over the crack
But it will return now
And your heart will burn black

Forgotten my way home
Forgotten everything that I know
Every day a false start
And it burns my heart

I know everything you said was right and I suppose
Everything is here forever till it goes
You gave it all away, kept nothing for yourself
Just a picture on the shelf

Je souhaiterai m’immerger dans les profondeurs des mers
Y disparaître pour ne plus jamais être vu

Burning up
Now I’m racing down a road I don’t recognise
I realise I’ve forgotten my way home
Forgotten everything that I know
Every day a false start
And it burns my heart
Turn back

- Keane, Black Burning Heart

In a desperate attempt to breathe life back into this blog, I must publish the following nonsense:

* It’s really annoying, how I manage to get up at eleven in the morning during the weekend no matter how late I slept the previous night. I used to be able to sleep up to 3pm. Is this what growing older’s about?

* The Yokohama Oktoberfest was a blast. Too bad we got there like 8 frikking 15 and the whole thing will close at 9pm. What on earth are you doing hosting an Oktoberfest that closes at 9pm?!

* So, see I got myself a new theme. And it was just because I was almost bored to tears so the most logical step would be to redesign the site’s appearance yet again.

* I wanna go somewhere and snap photos because srsly, I haven’t gone to anywhere since I came back from the Singapore – Thailand trip and I seriously need to put updates on my Flickr stream that doesn’t involve me. Maybe Hakone in November? All those pretty pretty colors — man, they just kill me, every frikkin’ year.

* I wonder, will I be able to see the 12-24mm Tokina that I bought tomorrow? *Makes parinig at Meemax and Moogs* :P

* You are a believer, I am not — Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, Believer.

Didn’t think you would trust me.
Thought you would see what I see.
This days have been good for me too,
But I can’t stay.
You know why.
Didn’t want this to end like this.
Thought I might could convert.
These nights have been sad for me too,
But I don’t pray.
You know why.

You are a believer,
I am not.

Didn’t think I could ever love,
So I had to destroy it all.
But you will do find someone new,
When I am gone.
You know why.

You are a believer,
I am not.
