Momentous score …

Somewhere Out There

by James Ingram & Linda Ronstadt

Somewhere out there,
Beneath the pale moonlight,
Someone’s thinking of me,
And loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there,
Someone’s saying a prayer,
Then we’ll find one another,
In that big somewhere out there.
 

(Chorus 1)
And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star,

And when the night wind start to sing
A lonesome lullaby,
It helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the
Same big sky.

(Chorus 2)
Somewhere out there,
If love can see us thorugh,
Then, we’ll be together,
Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true.

An American Tale (1987)

It was during my Recruit Era and this was the first score that we, the juniors had to learn in order to play along with the rest of the band members.  Cuak jugak since selama tu we just looked at the simple form of ‘togey‘, the killer marches. Thank God this score wasnt that hard, otherwise sure kena sedasss dgn Kak Piza.

Eye-coordination was the main important lesson that we learned in playing in the big orchestra.  Switching eyes from the score sheet to the majestic yet gracefull body and hand movement of Kak Natasha Ann Sidhu, our Senior Drum Majorette at that time, was indeed a wonderful moments.  I have never seen someone conducting the band the way she did.  Watching her ..it blewn me away..pheww.

I miss that era…

My fave ‘guitar’ tune .. ever

A                     E    D
  I hate the world today.         You’re so good to me,
    A                         E    D
I know but I can’t change.         Tried to tell you but you,
F#m                             B
look at me like maybe, I’m an angel underneath,
  D
  innocent and sweet.

  A                  E    D
Yesterday I cried.         You must have been reliefed to,
  A                    E    D
see the softer side.         I can understand how,
  F#m                   B

you’d be so confused. I don’t envy you.
        D

I’m a little bit of everything, all rolled into one.

CHORUS

        A                         E
I’m a bitch. I’m a lover. I’m a child. I’m a mother.
        F#m                    D
 
I’m a sinner. I’m a saint. I do not feel ashamed.
          A                         E

  I’m your hell. I’m your dream. I’m nothing in between.
               F#m                        D
 
You know you wouldn’t want it any other way.

VERSE:

  A       E      D
  So take me as I am.     This may mean you’ll have to,
  A       E      D
 
be a stronger man.      Rest assured that when I,
  F#m    B
 
start to make you nervous and I’m going to extremes,
  D

tomorrow I will change and today won’t mean a thing.

CHORUS:

A                                  E
 
I’m a bitch. I’m a lover. I’m a child. I’m a mother.
F#m                             D
 
I’m a sinner. I’m a saint. I do not feel ashamed.
A                                   E

I’m your hell. I’m your dream. I’m nothing in between.
F#m                                 D
 
You know you wouldn’t want it any other way.

BRIDGE:

  E
 
Just when you think, you got me figured out,
      F#m                    D

  the season is already changing
  E                      F#m

I think it’s cool, you do what you do
      D
 
And don’t try to save me

CHORUS:
A                                 E

  I’m a bitch. I’m a lover. I’m a child. I’m a mother.
F#m                              D

I’m a sinner. I’m a saint. I do not feel ashamed.
A                                    E 
 
I’m your hell. I’m your dream. I’m nothing in between.
F#m                              D 
 
You know you wouldn’t want it any other way.

A                                 E
I’m a bitch. I’m a tease. I’m a goddess on my knees.
F#m                              D

  When you’re hurt, when you suffer I’m an angel undercover.
A                                 E
 
I’m a numb, I’m revived. You can’t say I’m not alive.
F#m                              D

  You know I wouldn’t want it any other way.

It was back in 2000.  Locked myself up in the room and strummed this song over and over again and sings my heart out…  (Tapi bab F#m & B tu selalu terkial².. eheh)

I’m new to Dewa’s tunes.  After awhile listen to this song on the internet-radio, it grows inside me.

We belong together

by Mariah Carey 

(Ooh, ooh, sweet love, yeah)

I didn’t mean it
When I said I didn’t love you, so
I should have held on tight
I never shoulda let you go
I didn’t know nothing
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I’d be
Sitting here beside myself
Cause I didn’t know you
Cause I didn’t know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

The feeling that I’m feeling
Now that I don’t hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don’t have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn’t give
To have you lying by my side
Right here, cause baby
(We belong together)

[chorus]
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together

Who else am I gon’ lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

I can’t sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack’s on the radio
Saying to me
"If you think you’re lonely now"
Wait a minute
This is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
"I only think of you"
And it’s breaking my heart
I’m trying to keep it together
But I’m falling apart

I’m feeling all out of my element
I’m throwing things, crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
It ain’t even half of what
I’m feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life, baby

[chorus]
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together

Who else am I gon’ lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby

[chorus]
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together

Who am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together
