Ruby Tuesday , other bloghop events, and a lullaby...

Tulog Na

by: Sugarfree


Tulog na mahal ko
Hayaan na muna natin ang mundong ito
lika na tulog na tayo

Tulog na mahal ko wag kang lumuha
malambot ang iyong kama
saka na mamrublema

Tulog na hayaan na muna natin sila
Mamaya hindi ka na nila kaya pang saktan
Matulog tulog ka na

Tulog na mahal ko
nandito lang akong bahala sa iyo
Sige na tulog na muna

Tulog na mahal ko
at bukas ngingiti ka sa wakas
at sabay natin harapin ang mundo

Tulog na hayaan na muna natin sila
Mamaya hindi ka na nila kaya pang saktan
Matulog tulog ka na

(Translation)


Sleep now, my love
let the world be for a while
come now, let's sleep

Sleep now, my love
don't cry anymore
the bed is soft, don't you worry now

Sleep now, my love
I'm just here, I'll take care of you
Go on, sleep now

Sleep now, my love
tomorrow you'll smile at last
and we'll face the world together

Sleep now
Let them be for a while
They won't hurt you anymore

Sleep now...

Sometimes, Teddy has dark moods. Maybe because there are so many things that he thinks he wants needs to take care of. I'd always tell him, "...relax, everything will turn out right in it's own time and pace."

I always wanted to sing this song to him, a lullaby , a reassurance that everything will be alright.

Mad World -- Gary Jules

"Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule."

– Samuel Butler

Music Monday -- Passenger Seat by Death Cab for Cutie

I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

"Do they collide?"
I ask and you smile.
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter.

When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride
When you need directions then I'll be the guide
For all time.
For all time.

What if you -- Joshua Radin

Some People's Lives (Janis Ian)

Some people's lives run down like clocks.
One day they stop, and that's all they've got.
Some lives wear out like old tennis shoes
no one can use. Well, It's sad but it's true.

Didn't anybody tell them?
Didn't anybody see?
Didn't anybody love them
like you love me?

Some people's lives fade like their dreams,
too tired to rise, too tired to sleep.
Some people laugh when they need to cry,
and they never know why.

Didn't anybody tell them
that's not how it used to be?
Didn't anybody love them
like you love me?

Some people ask if the tears have to fall.
Then why take your chances? Why bother at all?
And some people's lives are as cold as their lips.
They just need to be kissed.

Doesn't anybody tell them?
Doesn't anybody see?
Doesn't anybody love them
like you love me?
'Cause that's all they need.

Monday Sound -- More Than Anyone (Gavin Degraw)

"More Than Anyone"

You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say to convince you
To change your mind of me?
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together baby
Free together baby
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Monday Sound - Making Memories of Us (Keith Urban)

I'm gonna be here for you baby

I'll be a man of my word

Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard

I wanna sleep with you forever

And I wanna die in your arms

In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you

And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother

I wanna learn from your pa

I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw

I wanna stand out in a crowd for you

A man among men

I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you

And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow

Wherever the four winds blow

And there'll be a new day

Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on

This you know somehow

You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now

And I'm gonna make you a promise

If there's life after this

I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you

And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you

And I'll win your trust making memories of us

Monday Sound -- Having you Near Me (Air Supply)

I googled why a  "song/music/melody  is stuck to one's head" and several articles says that it is a  phenomenon called "earworm". It happens to me all the time. Research say that all of us are afflicted by this at one time or another.

So what's your earworm today?

Monday Sound -- Jesus Doesn't Want me for a SUNBEAM

By the Vaselines

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For the all the reasons you have to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to die for thee.

 Kurt Cobain of Nirvana (R.I.P.) made a cover of this song during their MTV Unplugged in 1993. Though I like Nirvana's cover better because I felt that their acoustic concert was sort of a goodbye, for 5 months later Kurt ended his life, I wanted to share their favorite, The Vaselines.

Musical Monday -- The Fear You Won't Fall

This is my favorite Joshua Radin song. Honest, sweet, and I think many people has gone through this feeling once or twice in their lives.
I keep playing this song in my head for weeks. I think this speaks for me, about how I feel. I guess even after a year, we are still at the state of romance where there are moments we are both unsure of our footing. And I think this "guessing game" makes our relationship exciting and it's like, we are putting ourselves "out there" taking chances the other would fall (in love back).

Digging a hole and the walls are caving in
Behind me air's getting thin but I'm trying
I'm breathing in
Come find me
It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it
That's part of it all
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you is the fear you won't fall
It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
And I hate the phone
But I wish you'd call
Thought being alone
Was better than was better than
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel this way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
Can't get my mind off of you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

Going Home

Time seems long till morn,

stomach churning, heart skipping

to hold your hand, 't last!

See you soon, JV!

MusicMonday ~ Unlove you

Unlove You – Ashley Tisdale

I fell in a perfect way
Never had a choice to make
Crashed into your tidal wave
I didn’t even struggle
Sailed right through your atmosphere
Closed my eyes and landed here
Didn’t see the trouble
And I didn’t care

Chorus:
I can’t unlove you
Can’t do that
No matter how I try
I’ll never turn my back on
Someone who loved me too
I can do most anything I have to

But this one thing I cannot change
I almost kind of like the pain
Wear your tattoo like a stain
It will take forever
To fade away

Chorus

There’s always time for other dreams
Why must we erase these things?

I can’t unlove you
Can’t do that
No matter how I try
I’ll never turn my back on
Someone who loved me too
But I can’t unlove you
Get through that
No matter how I try
I’ll never turn my back on
Someone who loved me too
I can do most anything I have to
But I can’t unlove you

MusicMonday ~ Merchant of Love

Joan Armatrading - Merchant of Love
Album: What'S Inside



LYRICS:
~~o~~
You're selling emotions
That I can't buy
Don't want the sadness
Price is far too high
And I don't want
I don't need your package lies
I've got too much in store

Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
Selling heaven here on earth
I've bought pain and measures
Of pure heartache
I've had all I can take

I'm willing to wait
For lasting pleasure
With promises
That won't ever break
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
With a full guarantee

I'd travel
Miles and miles and miles
To find the place
With treasures
Much more rich than gold
I just want a heart
That captures my soul
And I'm willing to wait

I'm willing to wait
For lasting pleasure
With promises
That won't ever break
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love

Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
With full guarantee

Heads or Tails ~ Note to God

The theme/prompt for THIS week, August 11, is:

HEADS - "Note"

Make any kind of post using this week's theme/prompt "Note."

With this prompt, I thought of Charice Pempengco, our very own Oprah Winfrey sensation. JoJo first recorded "Note to God" on her album The High Road back in 2006. The song was written by Diane Warren. Charice's cover version was produced by David Foster. Charice's single Note to God, released only in the US broke into the Amazon.com and ITunes music charts.

Note to God

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I’d ask for all the hate to be swept away
For love to overflow

If I wrote a note to God
I’d pour my heart out on each page
I’d ask for war to end
For peace to mend this world
I’d say, I’d say, I’d say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road…… we’re on

If I wrote a note to God
I’d say please help us find our way
End all the bitterness
Put some tenderness in our hearts
And I’d say, I’d say, I’d say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven’t got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we’re on

No, no no no
We can’t do this on our own
So

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven’t got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we’re on

No, no no no
We can’t do this on our own
So, So

If I wrote a note to God

My mind at Random # 2

You came whistling down town
breaking down my wall
As I put my guard down
I let myself fall.

I'm mostly Me

I can be whatever you want me to be
Your angel in disguise
All soft and warm and nice
So I can save you from you
But I'm mostly me, though.

I can be whatever you want me to be
Your devil's advocate
Push you whatever it take
So you can make it through
But I'm mostly me, though.

I can be your guide, your teacher
Be your friend and lover
If you just want me to be
Eventhough I'm mostly me.

Standing here

As I see you standing there
with a smile on your face
And your heart on your sleeve
Took your hand, together
we ran away to a place
We wished we'll never leave.

Now you see me standing here
a warm glow in my eyes
And my soul for you to see
Took my hand, together
we hope this love will suffice
Now and forever we'll be.

I said I love you

As I bared my soul
Did you ever see
all the hurt inside
the anguish I tried to hide?


When I touched your hand
Did you ever feel
All the warmth inside
the hunger I tried to hide?


I said, "I love you"
Did you ever hear
the longing inside
and the fear I tried to hide?

Maybe you never did
It's sad to know
That even if you did
You just never really showed.

Conversations

I hear your voice
Somewhere in my head
And amidst the noise
"I love you", you said.

My mind at Random

Today you're here
Come waste time on me
Let's have some beer
and let tomorrow be.
