King of Anything

I hate to break it to you babe 

But I'm not drowning 

There's no one here to save 

Who cares if you disagree 

You are not me 

Who made you king of anything 

So you dare tell me who to be 

Who died 

And made you king of anything

(King of Anything, by Sara Bareilles)

A smirk turns up at the corner of my lips when I heard this song this morning. Reminds me of a certain someone who craves to be the king of everything. So here's dedicating this song to everyone who knows someone like that.

Forever can never be long enough

Forever can never be long enough for me 

To feel like I've had long enough with you 

Forget the world now we won't let them see 

But there's one thing left to do 

Now that the weight has lifted 

Love has surely shifted my way 

Marry me 

Today and every day 

Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say

Hello in this cafe 

Say you will Mm-hmm 

Say you will 

Mm-hmm 

Together can never be close enough for me

To feel like I am close enough to you 

You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you

And you're beautiful 

Now that the wait is over 

And love and has finally shown her my way

Promise me

You'll always be

Happy by my side

I promise to

Sing to you

When all the music dies

(Marry Me, by Train)

A Song In My Heart

It has been a year since my last entry. I have been busy... busy living my life. But ever so often, a song will resonate with everything inside me. And I will have to drop everything and let the song take over me, let the lyrics bring me to a very far, very far away place.

Adele is one of my favourite artist recently. Her voice is powerful, and the lyrics of her songs have an almost-hypnotic effect on me.

And for a cool Sunday afternoon like today, this song is perfect.

"Sometimes it lasts in love

But sometimes it hurts instead"

On a side note, how beautiful is that English house of her's.

And I Love You So

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

I guess they understand
How lonely life
has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes I
know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't
set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're
around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief

And yes I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

I fell in love. With Harry Connick Jr's latest album Your Songs. I fell even deeper in love with his rendition of And I Love You So. What an album! I only knew him as an actor, but boy his muscial talent far surpasses his acting skills. You have to get this album because all the songs in this album is perfect for any time of the day! You'll fall in love with his deep soulful voice too!

I'm not one of those girls who dream about their wedding day since they were 12, or "already know" what their future wedding dress looks like. I've never understood why this day is known as "the big day" of one's life (it's could very well be "the end of the good days" too! :P). I've never fantasize about the man standing at the end of the aisle, or wish I'm a Mrs-something soon. I'm just not that kinda girl.

But when I heard And I Love You So, I literally saw a first dance - in my mind! Yep, that wedding first dance. (Disclaimer: Not my wedding dance. Just "a" wedding first dance.) Every single time I hear it, that first dance image would play in my mind -- again and again. It's a strange feeling. It's all dreamy and sweet.
In this vision, everyone else disappears.
Dark background.
Flowers and sash drape a white canopy.
A newly-wedded couple dances in the middle.
Sharp black suit for groom.
The bride adorned in a cream satin gown, with intricate design of beads and pearls.
They are moving slowly, cheek-to-cheek. In love and in tuned with each other's paces. I don't see their faces but joy overflows them. The brides smiles with blush radiance, the groom holds her close to his heart... treasuredly. Love and happiness is evident and overwhelming. What a vision!

Besides And I Love You So, I have only ever remotely thought about another song as (my?) ideal wedding songs. Officially Yours by Craig David. I know, it's an entirely different genre song. But its speaks to me, every time I hear it too! Sing to me, baby, and I'm yours!

I'm officially going on the record
To say I'm in love with you
I'm officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I'll tell the truth

So there you go, Miss Say's wedding songs review. Now, let me go find the Husband. ;)

Halo

I love sitting at my desk in my aparment in the late afternoon. The sunlight reflects itself off the building opposite mine, beating the ray of halo and heavenliness into my room. I love stretching out my hand and trying to catch the sun beams, or just letting the ray of afternoon sun cut through my fingers. Or sometimes just closing my eyes and bask in the halo of warmth and glow.

Just another quiet afternoon which I can reflect and give thanks. Just me, my thoughts, and the reflection of the ever-burning sun. Beyoncé's Halo was playing on my iTunes. What an apt song for all that I have been feeling.

This is the moment I love most everyday.

Halo (by Beyoncé)

Remember those walls I built
Well baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo)
