ihayat tune: Littlest Things [Lily Allen]

it's been the 4th consecutive day tht i've been to starbucks...God knows why...ac'ly God does know why, as i do too. my mind has been in a riot for the past couple a days and i guess it's high time i should just face reality.

staying cooped up at home makes you think of a lotta things...initiated by the things you see, hear, smell, taste, feel and to add to the 5 senses; even the stuff u talk about. yesterday i hung out wif a couple of skewl mates...it's been a while since i've had a nice decent conversation with the locals, as being a local here usually make me feel like a tour guide since most of my uni frens are frm outta town.

so while we chatted and laughing away at our lives gone by, i felt a familiar sense of unbelonging. this is sumthing i've felt for ages but kept well at the back of my head. its situations like this that initiates 2002 questions in my head...and in the end, despite all the raving riots and mess, i end up making a life changing decision. one that i'll stick to.

i cant seem to decide for anything at the moment. a lot of things are going on but it seems like life is empty. one thing is for sure...i was right; good things never last. ah well...i did enjoy it while it lasted.

Wishin' and Hopin'

Originally by Dusty Springfield, Covered by Ani Difranco
[My Best Friend's Wedding OST]

Wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' each night of his charms.
That won't get you into his arms

So if your're looking for love you can share
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and love him,
And show him that you care.

Show him that you care, just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',
Wishin' and hopin'.

'cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!

So if you're thinking how great true love is
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him,

and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.

You gotta show him that you care just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',
Wishin' and a hopin'.

'cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!
So if you're thinking how great true love is!

All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him,
and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.

You will be his.

You will be his~

Pablo Neruda [1904-1973]

Neruda recording poems at the U.S. Library of Congress [1966]
ihayat tune: the kooks; naive

Don't go far off...

Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.

Don't leave me, even for an hour, because then
the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.

Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,

because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?

by Pablo Neruda

funny story: i discovered pablo neruda thru a movie called Bollywood Hollywood; where Sue a.k.a Sunitha recited verses from his poem to the dashing Rahul. The words caught me, and with the power of the net; i was able to drown myself in his poetry ~

Awarded with the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971, Neruda; Chilean poet, diplomat and communist leader is the most influential poets of the 20th century. His real name is Ricardo Eliecer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto. The pen name Pablo Neruda was derived from Jan Neruda, a Czech writer and poet which later became his legal name. Neruda used this pseudonym so that his father who was against his passion, would not discover that he was a poet.

His first published work was an essay he wrote for the local daily newspaper, at the age of thirteen entitled Enthusiasm and Perseverance. By 1920, he was a published author of poetry, prose, and journalism. When Communism was outlawed in Chile, neruda went into hiding; hidden by supporters and friends and lived his life in exile when he fled over the Andes Mountains to Argentina on horseback, nearly drowning while crossing the Curringue River.

Neruda died of heart failure on September 23, 1973. His funeral took place with a massive police presence, and mourners took advantage of the occasion to protest the Pinochet regime. Neruda's funeral became the first public protest against the Chilean military dictatorship.

The Night Has a Thousand Eyes

ihayat tune:
violin romance; ludwig van beethoven

The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

THE night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of a bright world dies
When day is done.

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

Francis William Bourdillon

~> Hayat's thoughts...

One fine day, i came across this post tht a fren of mine wrote...i ges the cheesy title caught my attention...he was decribing how a particular song defined love for him. as i read the post, one beautiful song came flowing thru my head...and i realised tht i felt the same way he does when i hear beethoven's violin romance.

note by note, this song was made with love. The first time i heard this song, i was almost brought to tears at its mere beauty. the whole world freezes as i hear the violin sing the words of love. love in my opinion, being something undefined by words, is defined in this song. a song that lifts me of the ground; my joys and my sorrows are all but gone leaving me with pure serenity in a world unknown. love.

My life have yet to be illuminated with such light. Once my heart beats to that song...then i'll know for sure ~

PS: thanx mate for the inspiration ^_^
