If It Kills Me

by Jason Mraz.

There are only live performances videos of this song on youtube, so the sound quality is not the best. But still this song is great.

When I was trying to choose the best video to put I found it funny to see how Jason almost always starts this song with this "who came to this show with their best friend" act. At first look it seemed like it was just something spontaneous.

I found a video of the song where things got a little bit differently and Jason got a bit confused with that act. And I think the sounds quality there is better. So here it is. The second video is presented here just so you will also get a chance to see how he usually opens this song.







Hello
Tell me you know, yeah you’ve figured me out
Something gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment to see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now
And baby that’s a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing
Cause you and I, why we go carrying on for hours on end
We get along much better than you and your boyfriend
Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

How long can I go on like this?
Wishing to kiss you before I rightly explode?
And this double life I lead isn’t healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all

Baby there’s a lot that I’ll miss in case I’m wrong
All I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

If I should be so bold
I’d ask you to hold my heart in your hand
Tell you from the start how I’ve longed to be your man
But I never said I would
I guess I’ve gone and missed my chance again

Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
It’s a feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
I think it might kill me

Parachute

by Sean Lennon.



Love is like an aero plane
You jump and then you pray
The lucky ones remain
In the clouds for days
If life is just a stage
Let's put on the best show
And let everyone know

Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather be with you
Cut the parachute before the dive
Baby don't you cry
You have to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground

Love is like a hurricane
You know it's on the way
You think you can be brave
Underneath the waves
If life is just a dream
Which of us is dreaming
And who will wake up screaming

Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather be with you
Cut the parachute before the dive
Baby don't you cry
You have to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground

Cause if I have to die tonight
I'd rather it was you
Cut the parachute before the dive
Baby don't you cry
You have to bring me down
We had some fun before we hit the ground

Halston Fall 2009

by Colonel Blimp.

Halston released this video clip instead of producing a runway to show off their 2009 collection.

I think the video clip is cool, and it surely touched my Oh-I-Miss-New-York sensitive points, but again, I love the song the more. From what I understand it was composed especially for Halston and this video clip by Benjamin Bronfman and that it is called You’re The One. Will keep on looking for information about this song.

Her Morning Elegance

by Oren Livne.

The same guy is responsible for the music and the video. I had to think about it for a while before I could decide which I like better and decided that I like the song more.

What do you think?

Ilha Da Loucura

by Jorge Fernando.

I have just returned from a short and amazing vacation in Lisbon, Portugal.
Even though it is not the best season (it almost didn't stop raining), and even though I was there for just 4 days, I noticed that this city has something unique in it. Some sort of classic style that makes you feel very calm and comfortable there. I had a really good time. I will upload the pictures soon.

At the first night me and my friend went to a Fado pub. Unlike most of the touristic Fado clubs, this was a local one which means very very small and crowded, no English speaking service or even customers and really good Fado singers. Also this place is open only two nights in the week.

We got in pretty late and heard the last two singers of that night. Before the last singer the owner stood up to introduce her. Of course he spoke in Portuguese and I didn't understand a word, but from the way he spoke I thought\imagined that he is saying that the next singer is very unique.
Then a beautiful girl stood up and started singing. I lost all my thoughts and couldn't focus on anything. Her singing was very touching and exciting (and did I mention she was beautiful?)

The song Ilha Da Loucura was the first song she sang and it was the most amazing performance I saw in a long time. I did my best to explain to one of the waitresses that I want to know the name of the song and she went to singer and asked her. The version I put here is the only one I found on the internet. It is not nearly as good as the one that I heard in the pub, but I think the song itself is very good and I hope you will like it too.

The Portuguese lyrics are below.

UPDATE - it seems like the song doesn't go through RSS readers. If you are reading this from one, go to the actual post to hear the song.



Cheguei á estranha ilha da loucura
Onde a paixão violenta me tocou
Errava então minh’alma á procura
Quando encontrou a tua e sossegou

Depois foram as mãos que se tocaram
Trementes, acudidas de emoção
Os olhos nunca mais se nos calaram
Contando as emoções do coração

Meu amor, meu amor
Aceita as emoções do coração

A voz era um murmúrio na garganta
Qual pássaro aturdido a esvoaçar
A sede da minh’alma fora tanta
Que só na tua se pôde saciar

Então, meus pés descalços sobre a ilha
Partiram sem partir, a desvendar
O mar beijando a areia, fez-te filha
E a ilha meu amor, reinou no mar
