Simple Plan had released a new video for their latest single – Save You. One of my favourite songs from their latest album.
That if you fall, stumble down
I’ll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I’ll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won’t give up cause I’ll be waiting if you fall
Oh you know I’ll be there for you
The lyrics can be interpreted ‘cheesily’ as some romantic/lovey-dovey genre but this song is actually a dedication from Pierre (the lead singer) to his brother who was battling cancer few years ago. And it is shown in the video clip about the real meaning of the songs. So, take a look at the music video:-
Oh yeh, I do rarely post song and lyrics on my blogs. But gonna do it today coz I love this song a lot. It’s like a short story that I always smile about. Shahrill and Muzaini, if you guys manage to read this, you both surely love this song. Hm.. I guess Muzaini already had it in the list. And by the way Kak Khalidah, Han-nah Mon-ta-na had released a new album. And Awin, I heard my housemate played that ‘Sarang … whatever that Korean song is’ song last couple of day.
And here the lyrics for Carrie Underwood – All American Girls. The story is nice, I keep smiling everytime I heard this song. Eh, I told you already.
Since the day they got married
He’d been praying for a little baby boy
Someone he could take fishing
Throw the football and be his pride and joy
He could already see him holding that trophy
Taking his team to state
But when the nurse came in with a little pink blanket
All those big dreams changed
And now, he’s wrapped around her finger
She’s the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect
All American girl
Sixteen short years later
She was falling for the senior football star
Before you knew it he was dropping passes
Skipping practice just to spend more time with her
The coach said, ‘hey son what’s your problem’
‘Tell me have you lost your mind’
Daddy said ‘you’ll lose your free ride to college’
Boy, you better tell her goodbye
But now, he’s wrapped around her finger
She’s the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect
All American
And when they got married and decided to have one of their own
She said, be honest, tell me what you want
And he said, honey you outta know
A sweet, little, beautiful one just like you
I want a beautiful, wonderful, perfect All American
Now, he’s wrapped around her finger
She’s the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect
All American girl
Soundtrack hari ini: Rex Goudie (Canadian Idol Runner Up) – Run
Oh yah, I’m fine. Abg Tra asked me if there’s anything wrong as I didn’t update my blog for the past few days. Okay sebenarnya. Agak busy sikit dengan programming and stuff. Semalam, aku duk pulun lagi dengan programming dari kul 1pagi sampai kul 3 pagi sebab hari ni nak jumpa supervisor. Disebabkan perjumpaan mingguan, ader la sikit push untuk aku pulun supaya bleh tunjuk result yang okey kat supervisor aku.
Other than that, everything is fine actually. Jadual harian aku merangkumi study, makan sambil tengok Stargate SG-1, tengok American Idol Finale itu hari dan bersosial dengan Kak Nur dan Andros. Semalam kitorang bertiga gi berseronok-seronok di Tesco (as if Tesco is some theme park to use the word – berseronok-seronok, but well it does feel that way!).
That is all about it. Malam ni Tahir sampai dari London, sebab dia nak gi Scotland dengan kengkawan dia. Aku lak nak turun London dengan Kak Nur Ahad nih, lepak rumah Fayaz (kawan Tahir yang dah jadi kawan aku – alaa.. yang aritu aku jamming kul 3 pagi tu (Rujuk Apologize))
Aku akhiri post kali ini dengan citer fasal cekodok. Tadi baru jer duk bergaduh dengan Hairi dan Amirul fasal nih.
Amirul (bakal housemates) chat dengan aku ari tu. Dia bagitau yang Yusran(juga bakal housemate) masak cekodok, tapi dia kata dia tak makan, sebab dia suka makan cekodok dengan sambal.
Sambal? Are you kiddin me? That was my reaction. Kenapa makan cekodok dengan sambal? Amirul cakap, ‘apa salahnya cekodok dengan sambal?’
Aku cakap, ‘yang satu manis, yang satu pedas, mana masuk’.
Dia redefined, ‘weh, bukan cekodok pisang la, korang panggil jemput-jemput tu..’
‘Ooooh…’,aku baru faham. Walaupun sebenarnya family aku biasa panggil cok kodok (this is apply for Kedahan) instead of cekodok, dan cok masin instead of jemput-jemput.
Tapi lepas Jumaat tadi, Hairi(Malaysian Durham) tambah pulak cerita baru selepas dia dengar aku cerita fasal itu hari. Dia cakap, ‘tapi, orang Johor biasa jer makan cekodok pisang tu cicah kicap.’
‘Eu.. are you kidding me?’ <— ditujukan kepada orang-orang yang makan cekodok pisang cicah kicap.
2 songs about broken heart. One is quite popular by Bee Gees – How Can You Mend A Broken Heart. Surely I don’t listen to this song. I kinda like the version by American Idol contestant (Carrie Underwood Season) – Mario Vasquez. Here is the video clip if you are too free of time to watch it:-
Lagi satu lagu dari Jimmy Ruffin. Who the hell is he? Ntah, Wikipedia helped. Tapi lagu ni dicover oleh Westlife. Sekali lagi, kalau korang sangat tidak busy, boleh la dengar. Lagu ni lama dah Westlife cover. Waktu zaman My Love, I lay my love on you.
But this post actually about the broken hearted. Not mine. But one that I manage to make it broken.
Tugasan aku minggu lepas. Amik satu model.
Tambah noise, dan kemudian bagi dia elok balik. Minggu lepas dah okey, tapi result macam tak brapa betul. Tapi baru kejap tadi aku buat sedikit perubahan. And here is what I get:-
What becomes of the broken hearted? And how can I mend a broken heart?
Seems like I could break a heart easier than to heal it. And yes, I meant for the model above. But Kak Khalid I bet you see the irony of this aren’t ya? Yeah, keep laughing!
Sebenarnya turun London kali ni sebab nak tengok konsert Simple Plan (Kak & Abang, jangan bagitau mak yek).
The concert was fine. Dia buat kat Astoria, sebelah Tottenham Court Station. Tahir dengan kawan-kawan dia tanya camna? Aku jawab, ‘It’s too loud’. It was. I’m more into Westlife pop kind of music. So, punk/rock nih agak bingit sikit la.In the concert, I mean. Anyhow, they were still rock!
Antara lagu yang diorang cover – Addicted, Love is A Lie, What If (my favourite song from the latest album), Jump, Thank you, When I’m Gone, Shut Up, Perfect etc..
The drum sound was too loud, I hated it. But Pierre’s voice was well-mantained throughout the night, so it was good.
Anyway, aku lebih enjoy lagi pengalaman aku ke CD Signing!
Dalam laman web diorang ada bagitau yang CD Signing juga pada hari yang sama. Katanya wristband bleh amik percuma kat FOPP (Kedai Muzik) Covent Garden mulai 8 pagi. Semalam dah tido pun kul 4, rasa malas sangat nak bangun awal. Aku pergi dah kul 3 petang. Ingatkan dah abis wristband tuh, rupa-rupanya ada lagi. Signing kul 6.
Tengah, beratur, aku jumpa dengan Megan, seorang Chinese UK yang juga peminat Simple Plan. Ingatkan nak suruh dia tangkap gambar aku. Tapi dah sampai kat depan, tak leh amik gambar. Tapi dapat ler signing. Aku minta diorang sign atas cover single When I’m Gone yang baru aku beli dan jugak atas DS aku.
Everyone of them were nice. Kinda asking of ‘how’re you doing’. I shook Pierre’s hand. Really unfortunate that I can’t take pictures. But below is the aftermath of the signing. And a video of me going for the signing.
