Jazzy..are we?

(tony and me were messing around with some cool licks and words…we are just pretending to be a jazzer, believe me)

uuu, i’m pretending, pretending, pretending to be a jazzer
yeaaah,now i’m trying, i’m trying, to be a soulful player
woo yeaa, even though they always think me as a creep
i’ll keep on playing this shit
dup di du dauww, don’t you know how much it means to me
for sure it is my destiny
it’s just a matter of time that you will see me

yeahh,, now i’m playing this song so smooth and tenderly
uum..mm, once u listen to this line, then you wanna sing along
woo yeaa, even though they always think me as a creep
i’ll keep on playing this shit
dup di du dauww, don’t you know how much it means to me
for sure it is my destiny
it’s just a matter of time that you will see me

if you could see inside of me
then you will find a story i try to tell ya
just sing with me this melody………………………….

Run baby, run

(round in Feb 07, when my last band started to arrange musics..we were trying to make a ballad like DT’s the spirit carries on, yeah right!)

run baby run
cos time won’t stop till you stand
fly high to the sky
leave the world that covered with lie

sleep tight tonight
don’t think the world outside
it’s all gonna be alright
tomorrow the sun will sun bright

just stand beside me
together we’re gonna be free
hold the world in our hand
throw out your fear
i’ll be waiting here

never stand behind the line
there’s too much good things to be found
now make your step
move to the next
the truth’s lyin there waiting for you

Untitled.. (not really a good title)

(someone was about to leave the city, so I thought this might be a nice thing to give)

good to be good, to be what you should
sometimes it ain’t the way you would
got to be strong, but don’t get this wrong
this ain’t a lesson, it’s just a song

you’ve been forced to behave with the things you don’t have
i said, “pick whatever you like most”
“throw away those goddamn jokes!”

oh baby, though it’s sad to let you go
and i guess you feel it more than i know
but maybe just in a year or two
we’ll find ourselves don’t feel blue
anymore..

oh baby, we might find somebody new
who we can trust and share our dreams too
the memory, become a piece of me and you
that’ll be shining like a sun and moon

then maybe just in a year or two
we won’t find ourselves feel blue
anymore..

Negeri Yang Seragam

that’s the country we are living in..

semua-semua sama,band-band memainkan musik super mellow n lirik2 yg banci, all tv programms show the same stuffs, buku bacaan pop yang mengangkat tema2 yang sama, fashion n gaya hidup…apalagi!!!..

pada dasarnya para pengekor pengecut yang menyedihkan itu hanya ingin ikut2an jadi populer saja, mencoba peruntungan mereka dgn baju milik orang lain,…KASIAN BGT!!

beruntunglah mereka yang bangga dan sukses dengan keunikan mereka masing-masing….

Whatever you might say

Ada sentence bagus di lagu My Stupid Mouth-nya J.Mayer,
…” mama said, think before speaking..”

Akhir2 ini saya geli melihat banyak orang yang asal ngomong sedangkan pengetahuan atas apa yang diucapkannya itu sendiri masih kurang kalau tidak mau dikatakan tidak ada sama sekali. Misalnya, pernah ada orang yang berkata kpd sy, ” Teman kita si A tidak menunjukkan tanda2 mau bekerja sama, responnya lama, etc… saya jadi curiga jgn2 ada yg disembunyikan”. Kenapa sih kalo masih curiga harus bilang-bilang ke orang? Simpan aja dalam hati dulu, cari tahu alasannya sama-sama. Bisa jadi respon lama itu karena si A bingung atau masih belum mengerti permasalahan, dan sejuta kemungkinan lain. Dengan melontarkan kecurigaan itu, bagi saya setidaknya ada dua hal negatif yang muncul.
Pertama, sudah jelas, su’udzon/negative thinking. Sebut aja sok suci, but it is, isn’t it?
Kedua, berpotensi mempengaruhi anggapan orang lain thd si A. Makin terpuruk dong si A atas sesuatu yang mungkin gak pernah ada, konyol bgt..
Mungkin orang bisa aja ngomong..”ini dunia nyata bung, dunia yang penuh kecurigaan”. Yeaah, say it dude but I’ll say ” Dont let the world win”

Ada juga orang yg kalo bicara n bercanda kadang tidak pada tempatnya, tp kalo ini sih gak terlalu parah. Karena toleransi orang thd bicara n candaan yg rada kurang ajar sdh makin tinggi, which means people wouldnt get overreact with those things. But still, it’s kinda like a time bomb that’d explode if it had its time.

Dalam konteks “think before speaking”, mungkin bisa juga diadaptasi menjadi “think before writing”. Kalau dilihat-lihat, banyak tulisan di internet (blog, bulletin) yang rada2 gak penting. Apalagi kyk kuisioner gak jelas gitu, mis:
“sekarang kamu pake sepatu apa?”
“terakhir terima sms/telp dari mana?”
“orang terakhir yg ada di pikiranmu sblm tidur?”
“hari ini kamu minum apa?”
“hr ini kamu udah boker brp kali?”
Ya ampun, PENTING GAK SEHHH?? Memangnya ada yg peduli smua itu? Sampai di publish lagi. Knp gak dikirim aja ke member yg udah pasti akan baca (ur lover, ur gang, whatever..)?
Disamping kuisioner kyk itu, tulisan2 “sok tau-basi-asli gak penting” lainnya juga bertebaran di dunia maya. Ada yg sampai dijadiin buku lagi. Gak perlu saya tulis detilnya, please deh. Jgn2 ntar tulisan ini jadi tulisan “sok tau-basi-asli gak penting” sejenis lagi.

So, did u think?
