(P Ramlee – Sabar)

This song brings back good memories and feelings.

Lyrics:

Beginikah derita
Hai orang yang sabar
Dituduh berdusta
Walaupun bercakap benar
Namaku dicemar
Manaku pergi Orang tak gemar
Imanku tak kan bertukar
Dari menipu
Biar terlantar

Mengapakah dunia
Hai penuh tipu daya
Dosa dan maksiat
Itulah yang diutama
Si jujur menjadi mangsa
Pandai menipu lekas berharta
Biarlah aku merana
Aku tak rela hidup berdusta

Dimana keadilan
Yang aku harap-harapkan
Mengapa kezaliman
Menjadi balasan
Yang lemah ditekan
Yang berharta jadi sanjungan
Padamu oh Tuhan
Aku serahkan
Tetapkan iman

Louis Prima – I Wan’na Be Like You (Theme from The Jungle Book)

Who still remember The Jungle Book? I used to have the VHS, and man I really liked the movie. I used to watch it all day long and this song is one of my favorites.

Scorpions – Still Loving You

Yeah balls. Classic slow rock song. One of my favorite songs from Scorpions. My uncle is a big fan of Scorpions, always play it in his taxi other than the likes of Santana and Led Zeppelin. That’s how I come to like this song. Well, pretty nice to hear to in the morning with a cup of hot green tea.

Mood Indigo by Brett aka Moondoggie .

I was looking for a guitar version of Duke Ellington’s Mood Indigo and I came across this one user. I think his interpretation of Mood Indigo is so different and nice. I just kept logging back to youtube to hear it again and again for the whole of today.

Hujan – Pagi Yang Gelap

Hujan – Pagi Yang Gelap

This band is so lepak. Orang seme sebok buat lagu cinta dgn matair dorang buat lagu pasal rindu abang pula. Itu yang best. Itu baru feel. Haha. This song reminds me of my childhood you know? Their lyrics, actually. When I was a kid, probably, primary 2 or 3, during the June holidays my cousins from JB and all, we used to get together at my Grandma’s place. During one of the time when we can’t play that 8 bit nintendo console because maybe baru masuk waktu zohor or asar. We found this really old guitar tong in the store and we brought out to our room and started strumming like we know how to play it lah. Feeling-feeling, gitu. Then it got fun, we took pencil and paper out and started writing a song about how Pak Ngah Beli Slippar Baru. It was so ridiculous beyond anything ever imagined. Then grandma couldn’t take all the noise so she took the guitar away and threw away that piece of paper. Hahaha. : p

I wish I could feel again like I was in that age. When nothing really matters – it’s all about just having good fun. I think that’s what Hujan managed to do. They can feel sincerely like a kid, which is a brilliant thing.

And oh, this is a good song for sing-alongs! Especially fun during road trips.

Bob Dylan – Things Have Changed

Apologies, can’t embed this video here. So just click on the link, it will still work. This song is so beautifully written. And oh, Bob Dylan and I, we share the same birth date. Geminis write good music, you know? : P

Lyrics after the jump.

Lyrics:

A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There’s a woman on my lap and she’s drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin’s eyes
I’m looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I’m well dressed, waiting on the last train

[Bridge #1:]
Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I’m expecting all hell to break loose

[Chorus]
People are crazy and times are strange
I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

This place ain’t doing me any good
I’m in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain’t no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he’s got anything to prove

[Bridge #2]
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too
Don’t get up gentlemen, I’m only passing through

[chorus]

I’ve been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I’ve been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can’t win with a losing hand

[Bridge #3]
Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street

[chorus]

I hurt easy, I just don’t show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I’m love with a woman who don’t even appeal to me

[Bridge #4]
Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I’m not that eager to make a mistake

[chorus]

Eagles – Waiting in the Weeds

Eagles – Waiting in the Weeds

Thanks to my dad’s influence again, I’ve become a Eagles fan. But it’s quite a while already. They’re really talented and inspired musicians. There’s something about these classic rock stars that they have so much soul, you know? It’s very inspiring listening to them. Maybe because they don’t really care anymore, they’re in their own world and music is their god. Haha. I don’t know. This song is beautiful in so many ways and its off their latest, 2007 release, Long Road Out of Eden. So this is a new song, after a pretty long break.

Peter Green – Cryin’ Won’t Bring You Back

Peter Green – Cryin’ Won’t Bring You Back

Peter Green has the sweetest guitar tone I’ve ever heard next to The Shadow’s Hank Marvin. I often relate Peter Green as Thelonious Monk of Blues. These two individuals are esoteric, but damn, because of that the feel in their music is just way of the meters.

Modjo – Lady

This is a beautiful song for a long road trip. Picture you driving a car, with a bunch of mates on the back, your girl on your side, and this song on the stereo. I guarantee it will keep you on the road for hours! Such a nice uplifting feel.
