LEGO HOUSE

Posted by androidsiopao - 0 comments

 

Finally, I've got to know this song. I've been hearing this on the airwaves but wasn't able to know who sang it and its title. Lego House by Ed Sheeran fills my head for quite a while now, it's like paulit-ulit na, but I'm loving it... hehehe. Love the lyrics most especially this part...And out of all these things I've done, I will love you better now. 




LEGO HOUSE
Ed Sheeran

I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
and build a lego house
when things go wrong we can knock it down

My three words have two meanings, there's one thing on my mind
It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
and if you're broke I'll mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now


I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
and of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers
and colour you in
if things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
and I'll surrender up my heart
and swap it for yours

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
and of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking and it's more than I can take

And if it's dark in a cold December, I've got ya to keep me warm
and if you're broke I'll mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
and of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

TREE BY THE RIVER

Posted by androidsiopao - 0 comments


  


 I love this new song from Iron and Wine. It's a happy song about a man's love for his lady. Looking back on the memories of their budding love and how it had bloomed through the years. Time may have passed, but despite the changes, the couple is still together. The man is celebrating while saying... 'happy to be with you and you were happy for me'.

TREE BY THE RIVER
Iron and Wine


Mary Anne, do you remember
The tree by the river
When we were seventeen?

Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
And the mare in the pasture
Pitch black and baring its teeth

I recall the sun in our faces
Stuck and leaning on graces
And being strangers to change

Radio and the bones we found frozen
And all the thorns and the roses
Beneath your window pane

Now I'm asleep in a car
I mean the world to a parted-mouth girl
A pretty pair of blue-eyed birds

"Time isn't kind or unkind," you liked to say
But I wonder to who
And what it is you're saying today

Now I'm asleep in a car
I mean the world to a parted-mouth girl
A pretty pair of blue-eyed birds

"Time isn't kind or unkind," you liked to say
But I wonder to who
And what it is you're saying today

Mary Anne, do you remember 
The tree by the river 
When we were seventeen?

Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon
Happy just to be with you
And you were happy for me

PASSING AFTERNOON

Posted by androidsiopao - 0 comments

Iron and Wine's Passing Afternoon is one of the best tracks in their album, 'Our Endless Numbered Days'. I first heard their song, 'Flightless Bird, American Mouth' on Twilight OST and I was amazed eversince. This song, Passing Afternoon is lovely, though the lyrics a bit sad, the words really cuts deep through our emotions. A song about love and lost, memories you will always remember but you'll never be the same, never would be complete again once you've lost that one very special person in your life. It's not that they had a change of heart but something far beyond our control, death. 

 'There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days...
 There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all 
Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me...  
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone.'


PASSING AFTERNOON
Iron and Wine

There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon 
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon 
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her 
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms 

There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days 
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made 
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls it's children from their piles of fallen leaves 

There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children 'till she let's them go at last 
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring 
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds 

There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all 
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls 
But my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns 
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned 

There are names across the sea, only now I do believe 
Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me 
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know 
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone

IF I DIE YOUNG

Posted by androidsiopao - 0 comments

What's so special about this song is that it remind me of how life is so short and each tick of the clock should be live as if it were your last. It's so sad to hear people saying, "if I only had enough time..." when already so close to end. Also, to those left by, not been able to say or do anything cause of waiting for that 'perfect time'. But when is that 'right time'?  Yup, the song is right, we remember to appreciate people's worth when they're on their death bed or already a goner. So put on your best... while you have chance.

IF I DIE YOUNG
The Band Perry

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh well
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (oh, uh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

The Sweet Escape

Posted by androidsiopao - 0 comments




The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani. I so so love this song. It all started with this song - my cravings for anything that can make everyday a little, if not much, extraordinary and worthwhile. Who doesn't want to have his/her own perfect world? Escape from all that bothers us, recreate a world where we can do whatever we want, enjoy each moment and just be perfectly together with the people we treasured the most. Now, wouldn't that be sweet? hehehe ;)



THE SWEET ESCAPEGwen Stefani


If I could escape I would but, first of all, let me sayI must apologize for acting stank and treating you this way‘Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk all on the floorIt’s your fault you didn’t shut the refrigerator
Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold?
If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own worldAnd I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly togetherTell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?(The sweet escape)

If I could be sweet(Sorry boy)I know I’ve been a real bad girl(I’ll try to change)I didn’t mean for you to get hurt whatsoeverWe can make it betterTell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?(Sweet escape, sweet escape)

I want to get away to our sweet escapeI want to get away, yeah

You held me down, I’m at my lowest boiling pointCome help me out, I need to get me out of this jointCome on let’s bounce, counting on you to turn me aroundInstead of clowning around, let’s look for some common ground

So baby, times get a little crazyI’ve been getting a little lazy waiting on you to come save meI can see that your angry by the way that you treat meHopefully you don’t leave me, wanna take you with me

If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own worldAnd I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly togetherAnd tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?(The sweet escape)

If I could be sweet(Sorry boy)I know I’ve been a real bad girl(I’ll try to change)I didn’t mean for you to get hurt whatsoeverWe can make it betterAnd tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?(Sweet escape, sweet escape)

If I could escape, if I could escape
‘Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk all on the floorIt’s your fault you didn’t shut the refrigeratorMaybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold?
If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own worldAnd I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly togetherAnd tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?(The sweet escape)

If I could be sweet(Sorry boy)I know I’ve been a real bad girl(I’ll try to change)I didn’t mean for you to get hurt whatsoeverWe can make it betterAnd tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?(Sweet escape, sweet escape)
