Anugerah Juara Lagu 22 Best Vocals, Ceritera Cinta – Jac & Lah

Great performance by both Jaclyn and Lah (formerly in the group VE) , great restraint on Jaclyn’s part (no screams in this performance) as well as excellent control by Lah. Anyone who can perform a duet live with Jac, without being outshined, definitely deserves winning the Best Vocals. Congrats Lah and Jac. Definitely one of the few performers in AJL22 that performed well last night. This song has been stuck in my head the whole day. Good thing its a good song. ; p

Watch their winning performance at AJL22 below.

Lyrics below

Ceritera Cinta

Bertanya sang bayu pada ku
Mengapa kau masih disitu
Tiadakah jemu kau menunggu
Ohhhhh

Dan buat seorang perindu
Penantian hanya lah waktu
Dikamus hati ku
Tiada istilah jemu
Ohhhhoh

Hentikan lah saja
Jenaka bermadah
Biasa terlalu sering ku dengar
Ceritera cinta tiada berubah
Hanya mimpi yang indah
Akhirnya nanti kecewa

Buka lah sedikit hati mu
Kenali siapa daku
Ohhh

Beri ku pendam rasa hati
Malu mengakui
Ohhhhhh oh

Hentikan lah saja jenaka bermadah
Biasa terlalu sering ku dengar
Ceritera cinta
Tiada berubah hanya mimpi (hanya mimpi) yang indah
Akhirnya nanti kecewa …

Tanpa mahu mengakui kau pun dihati
Diluar sedar kau ku rindui
Penantian (penatianmu) hanya ruang waktu
Tiba masa kan terbukti cinta ku
Ohhh
tak mudah percaya pada pengakuan aku di hati mu yang tersayang

Hentikan lah saja
Jenaka bermadah biasa terlalu sering ku dengar
Ceritera cinta tiada berubah hanya mimpi (hanya mimpi)
Yeh .. yeh .. yeh … yeh
Akhirnya nanti kecewa …

Itu Kamu – Estranged, Anugerah Juara Lagu 22 Winner

Wow! I was really blown away by Estranged‘s performance in AJL. They used the orchestra backing to their advantage. Some of the earlier singers had to struggle to make their vocals heard over the symphony. Well done Estranged! Keep the great music coming guys.

Below’s their music video for the ballad, Itu Kamu.

As well as the lyrics.

Itu Kamu

Segala yang ku pasti akan aku capai tuk mengambil hati mu
Melepasi angkasa cinta ku
Sesudah aku melafazkan kesemua yang diperlu
Ianya seperti suluhan yang terang

Segala yang kau ragui akan ku padam habis dari hati mu
Mengingkari dalaman akal mu
Takkan puas ku, mengiringi semua tawa dan tangisan mu,
Anggun wajahmu, pelita yang terang

Hatiku mahu mu
Rupa mu
Masih masih masih masih

Kau terindah
Masih ada
Yang tercantik
Itu Kamu

Kau terindah
Masih ada
Yang tercantik
Itu Kamu

Tiada mengapa taupun sampai bila kerna cinta enggan kenal mengalah
Memanah masuk hatiku yang reti
Setelah kau nampak tetap ku masih menunjukkan erti hidupku
Yang mahu bersama kau buat selamanya

Hatiku mahu mu
Rupa mu
Masih masih masih masih

Kau terindah
Masih ada
Yang tercantik
Itu Kamu

Kau terindah
Masih ada
Yang tercantik
Itu Kamu

How To Save A Life by The Fray

I love this song. And I love the fact that I discovered this song because its music video featured clips from Grey’s Anatomy, one of my favourite shows. Enjoy.

How To Save A Life – The Fray

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Slow couple of months

I haven’t had much orders lately. I guess will have to wait until someone’s birthday for another cake order. Oh well, there’s always ups and downs in any business right.

Anyways,  I have been spending most of my free time on reading and checking out youtube. Amazing how many good quality videos you can watch there. And that’s why I’ve been posting so many videos of my favourite songs. Maybe I’ll post a review on a book soon.

Happy New Year 2008. May it be a fruitful year for all of us.

Far Away by Nickelback, I love this song

Video and lyrics for the first ever love song by Nickelback.

“Far Away”

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I’d give it all
I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
‘Cause I’m not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
‘Cause I’m not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
