Thank you.


Lyrics:
So the pain begins
As the music fades
And I'm left here with
With more than I can take

If you lift me up
Just get me through this night
I know I'll rest tomorrow
And I'll be strong enough to try

When the static clears
And all is said and done
I will realize
That we all need someone

If you lift me up
Just get me through this night
I know I'll rest tomorrow
And I'll be strong enough to try

So when you see me crashing
And there's nowhere left to fall
Will you lift me even higher
To rise above this all

If you lift me up
Said if you lift me up

Whoo-yeah, ahhh-yeah (repeat x2)

Said if you lift me up
Will you lift me higher

When you see me crashing
And theres nowhere left to fall
Will you lift me even higher
To rise above this all

If you lift me up
Said if you lift me up
If you lift me up
Just get me through this nigh

War - Jay Sean

This is not the blog which only introduces u some latest music/movie, but more importantly, also something that I really love.

I bet many of us hv listened to the #1 hit "Down" & top-10 hit "Do you remember" by Jay Sean last year, back to late 2009 and this year, early 2010 at least once.
I'm not going to review these two upbeat songs.
Another song off his 3rd album "All or Nothing" is far more impressive imo.
It's a sad song called "War".



Lyrics

War
Jay Sean

I would march across the desert to defeat my enemy
And I would lie here in the trenches with your picture next to me
And when I told you it's forever, then it's how its gonna be
Don't, won't let him just take the place of me (No..)

Does he really know you like I know you, all the little things?
Does he really love you, like I love you, how can he compete?
If he makes me fight for you, die for you, would he do the same?
This is turning into way more than a game..

Now it feels like soldiers in a war and none of us are backing down
And I will show you victory is mine before we leave this battleground
Cause he don't wanna leave, and I don't wanna go
And I know just how this battle goes
He don't wanna leave and I don't wanna fight this kind of war

You know he's not the man you think he is; he's hiding all his flaws
So tell me what's the point of fighting? Because we'll all end up with scars
But girl if that's what I must go through, then I'm not prepared to lose
Cause I've already bled so much for you (No..)

Does he really know you like I know you, all the little things?
Does he really love you, like I love you, how can he compete?
If he makes me fight for you, I die for you, would he do the same?
Baby this is turning into way more than a game..

Baby cause we're soldiers in a war and none of us are backing down
And I will show you victory is mine before we leave this battleground
Cause he don't wanna leave, and I don't wanna go
And I know just how this battle goes
He don't wanna leave and I don't wanna fight this kind of war (No, No..)

Getting kind of sick of this battle
Wish I could take it back to when I had you
I'm always thinking that I can have you, just let him have you
It's getting kinda hard to convince you

After all the shit that we've been through
Why would you let all this happen?
You gotta choice to make it stop
It's already going too far..

Girl we're soldiers in a war and none of us are backing down
And I will show you victory is mine before we leave this battleground
Cause he don't wanna leave, and I don't wanna go
And I know just how this battle goes
He don't wanna leave and I don't wanna fight this kind of war

Cause he don't wanna leave, and I don't wanna go
And I know just how this battle goes
He don't wanna leave and I don't wanna fight this kind of war..

--------------------------------------------

One thing need to be clarified first, I hvn't experienced any love failure yet boz I hv never had a gf B4. Here is the mystery! Every time I listen to this song, I feel sad. I feel sorry about the man (stance: who sings this song) losing her gf boz of the third party.

The song's melody is simple but beautiful. With the help of lyrics, it's easy for guys to imagine u're fighting for yr gf against yr enemies.
The whole background/picture in this song is clear. The song starts with a realistic scene, a man "march across the desert" and "lie in the trenches" to be ready for protecting his territory (symbolize the man's place in the girl's heart). He then knows that this is no longer a love game anymore but rather is a War of Love in the pre-chorus. When it comes to the chorus, the war between 2 men starts. Later on, he tries to convince her gf or say: wake her up. Yet, it's pointless. The 1st man is already "Getting kind of sick of this battle" but he still doesn't give up/back down. Although he knows himself doesn't like battles, he has no choices unless letting her go. (If u dun know wt I'm talking about boz of my poor Eng, u can check this website out to look at the comment by Holl93: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jay_sean/war.html.)

Ok...... I know I analysed too much... (not to mention it may be wrong)
But I just can't stop sharing this song! It's so amazing.
I'm going to stop here! And let u enjoy it yrself.

Favourite line: "So tell me what's the point of fighting? Because we'll all end up with scars"
To battle with anybody, whether it's your girl, family or another country never solved anything.

btw: Music Video of Jay's new single "2012" ft. Nicki Minaj will be premiered soon.

Katy Perry's New Single and Album Cover

The CALIFORNIA GURL, Katy Perry, gives us more from her coming album - Teenage Dream.
Few days ago, both her album cover and full-length new single came out.

Album Cover first:
When I first saw this, I "WOW" & "LOL".
After the shock, I was not "Laughing out Loud", but I was speechless.

1) A naked Katy lying on the cotton-candy-cloud? That's too much for me! I'm really not that into naked women... It looks like a PG pornographic to me. XD But I hv to admit that this is kinda fantasy & dreamy. That fits to the name of her album.

2) No words on the cover!? It's uncommon. (Ppl like Lindsay & Whitney did the same thing B4 but I didn't notice) I hvn't seen like that previously. But it's too plain without texts or logos. Hope it isn't the final work.



New Single "Teenage Dream" - Sweet song

When I first listened to CG few months ago, I said "Katy, U rock. I barely can find another recent songs that can compare to yours." But now, after I listen to TD, I hv to say: Katy, U rock again!

I personally feel that Teenage Dream is a chill-out period after CG. It's not about beautiful scenery or attractive girls in California any more. I think TD includes a deeper meaning than CG (though it's talking about Sex dream)... I specially like the following lines: "so take a chance and dont ever look back, dont ever look back" & "i finanly found you my missing puzzle piece, im complete"

B4 telling u how I like this song, the fact is that I almost CLOSE the window media player boz of the first verse... It's too high pitched! HA But after that, the song jumps to the pre-chorus. Then, I gave it a chance and kept listening. When the chorus is finished, I like the song. I esply like the melody of this song's bridge.
Yes, I hv used LIKE but NOT LOVE several times on the above as this song has yet to grow on my mind.

Anyway, another top 10 material! I guess.
-----------------------------------------------------
A few more photos for u, although a little bit old ^^"

Rumored Teenage Dream Single Cover

















Promotional photoshoots
Katy looks thirsty -.-






























---------------------------------
Updated (24/7/2010)

















Yeah! This is the final work of Katy's album cover!
Far better than the original design (the one without text)
Now that I call it an ALBUM COVER.
Except that "Teenage Dream" font makes me kinda dizzy XD

2010 Summer Hits

My 1st entry of this blog, and it's summer now. (Really hot in HK!) So let's talk about SUMMER SONG! These days, I went cycling, camping, hiking, also to the beach, theme park etc. All are outdoor activities and what songs hv I played on my Ipod-touch while travelling?

2010 Summer Hits

My own choices:
1. California Gurls - Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg

I bet we all agree that this is one of our most successful 2010 summer hits. 6 weeks on the top spot of Billboard Hot 100 so far. First, its lyrics kill it! “Palm trees, golden coast, daisy dukes, bikinis, sun-kissed skin, popsicle”. Second, the melody is fun, relaxing and upbeat. Not to mention its music video, we can’t forget the bird-Flipping Gummi Bear & Katy's Whipped Cream Bra. I really want to spend some days in California!




2. Your Love Is My Drug - Ke$ha

I thought it'd be a huge summer hits, but it turned out to be 3weeks No.8; 2weeks No.7; 2weeks No.4 on Hot 100. Who knows that there’re so many competitors among it, esp California Gurls. Although the lyrics of this song are only related to love but not summertime, the melody is not less upbeat than Katy’s one. Most importantly, YLIMD is a lot funnier than CG. For example, the paragraph Ke$ha raps out; she laughs at last and says “I like your beard”.
Our summer needs to be fun, this song actually helps! Comparing to CG, Katy just sings the song but losing her unique voice & personality (like her voice in "I kissed a girl" & "Waking Up In Vegas").


3. TiK ToK - Ke$ha & I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas
Perhaps these 2 songs are quite out-dated but I never stop listening to them since they’re released.
“Wake up in the morning feeling like P.Diddy, Don’t stop Make it pop”
“Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday. Party every day, p-p-party every day"
It’s PARTY anthem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never get bored ;]


4. Airplanes - B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams
I listen to this song boz of Hayley Williams. B.o.B? I dun know much about him but in this song, I dun know why, I think he is likely to Eminem.
Btw: instrumental of this song is awesome!

5. Nothin’ On You – B.o.B ft. Bruno Mars
Love this song so much! Bruno Mars’s voice is fu*king sexy. <3 I kinda believe that he'll become popular fall 2010 or spring 2011. He's talented.
Still dun care about B.o.B…




6. Billionaire – Travie McCoy ft. Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars again!!! Yes, I’ve gone crazy a little bit… Back to the song, Travie did a great job. I like its lyrics as well.





7. Take It Off - Ke$ha
This SHOULD be a summer hits!!!!!! An awesome song can be played in disco, club, beach, party and of coz, on the radio! Those bases from the intro/opening work the song out! Incredibly catchy! They’re likely to our heartbeats. “thump thump thump thump…”
Every time I listen to this song, I pop my chest! Ha! Everybody should dance to this song. And the promotional photoshot of the music video is pure perfect! An new image of K$. Can’t wait any longer.




Summer single/hit I dun like:

1. Alejandro - Lady Gaga
I love this song since “The Fame Monster” came out. But single for the summer??? Gaga team….. U obviously made a mistake. I know this is catchy but the mood is kinda sad. I don’t wanna be sad in summer -.- And the music video sucks!!! Gaga… maybe u should release it in winter. I played this song several times tho. “Hot like Mexico rejoice” YEAH!

2. O.M.G - Usher ft. will.i.am
OMFG! This song is fu*king annoying!!!!! Why does it still on Billboard??? Go away…… I remember that when this song spotted No.1, I said “OMG”! To say this is one of our summer songs, it’d rather to be the World-cup themed song. The “oh, oh, oh, oh, oh …..” backing vocals make me feel like I’m a spectator in the football court.

3. You Lost Me - Christina Aguilera
More or less the same as Lady Gaga. Wrong single choice. Who wanna listen to a slow sad ballad in the summer which is full of excitement? This song helps nothing to her flopping album... Actually, she should release "Woohoo" or "Bionic"! Her performance on MTV Movie Awards 2010 is amazing (no matter she lip-syned or not). She looks beautiful in her coming music video tho.




Possible hits for this summer:

1. Love The Way You Lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna
2. Dynamite – Taio Cruz
3. I Like It – Enrique Iglesias ft. Pitbull
4. Your Love - Nicki Minaj
5. Club Can't Handle Me - Flo Rida ft. David Guetta
6. Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
