Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Oh ooh ...

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
to hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you
but I know you won't be there

Ooh, I'm sorry for blaming you
for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
Oh ooh ...

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
to have just one more chance
to look into your eyes
and see you looking back

Ooh, I'm sorry for blaming you
for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

If I had just one more day,
I would tell you how much that I've missed you
since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
to try to turn back time

Ooh, I'm sorry for blaming you
for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you

Gary Jules - Mad world

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
mad world
mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
mad world
mad world

Enlarging your world
Mad world

Avril Lavigne - How does it feel ...

I'm not afraid of anything
I just need to know that I can breathe
I don't need much of anything
But suddenly, suddenly

I am small and the world is big
All around me is fast moving
Surrounded by so many things
But suddenly, suddenly

How does it feel, to be
different from me
Are we the same?
How does it feel, to be
different from me
Are we the same?
How does it feel?

I am young, and I am free
But I get tired, and I get weak
I get lost, and I can't sleep
But suddenly, suddenly

How does it feel, to be
different from me
Are we the same?
How does it feel, to be
different from me
Are we the same?
How does it feel?

Would you comfort me, yeah ...
Would you cry with me, yeah ...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ...

I am small and the world is big
But I'm not afraid of anything

How does it feel, to be
different from me
Are we the same?
How does it feel, to be
different from me
Are we the same?
How does it feel, to be
different from me
Are we the same?
How does it feel, to be
different from me
Are we the same?

Ah, ah, aah, ah ah, ah ah ...

How does it feel, how does it feel
Different from me, different
How does it feel, how does it feel
Different from me, different
How does it feel, how does it feel
Different from me, different
How does it feel, how does it feel
Different from me

Miss You Love

I've run out complicated theories
so now I'm taking back my words
I'm preparing for the breakdown

Your t-shirt lost its smell of you
and the bathroom's still a mess
Remind me why we decided this was for the best

Because I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love

I know the distance is a factor
but I stretch as often as I can
I hope to reach your hands any day now

Please don't blame me for trying,
to fix this one last time
I have a hard time as it is

Because I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love

Don't act like you don't know me
It's still me, I haven't changed
I'll be here when you come back

And I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love

...

Just Hold Me

Comfortable as I am,
I need your reassurance
And comfortable as you are,
you count the days

But if I wanted silence,
I would whisper
And if I wanted loneliness,
I'd choose to go
And if I'd like rejection
I'd audition
And if I didn't love you,
you would know

And why can't you just hold me
And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken
And why do I still care,
still care ...

You say you see the light now,
at the end of this starrow hall
I wish it didn't matter
I wish I didn't give you all

But if I wanted silence,
I would whisper
And if I wanted loneliness,
I'd choose to go
And if I'd like rejection,
I'd audition
And if I didn't love you,
you would know

And why can't you just hold me
And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken
And why do I still care

Poor, little misunderstood baby
No one likes a sad face
But I can't remember life without him
I think I did have good days
I think I did have good days

And why, and why can't you just hold me
And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken
And why do I still care

You're The Only One

Well I saw you with your hands above your head
Spinning around, trying not to look down
But you did, and you fell,
hard on the ground

Then you stumbled around for a good ten minutes
And I said I'd never seen anyone look so dumb before
And you laughed and said
I still know how to turn you on though

You're the only one who
drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
You're the only one who
knows exactly what I mean

And I probably forgot to tell you this
Like that time when I forgot to tell you about the scar
Remember how uncomfortable that made you feel?
See you're not what I expected
But you're the only one who knows how to handle me
And you're such a great kisser and I know that you agree

You're the only one who
drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
You're the only one who
knows exactly what I mean

I hope you can forgive me for that time
When I put my hand between your legs
And said it was small
Cause it's really not at all
I guess there's just a part of me that likes to bring you down
Just to keep you around
Cause the day that you realize how amazing you are
You're gonna leave me

You're the only one who
holds my hair back when I'm drunk and get sick
You're the only one who
knows exactly what I mean
You're the only one who
drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
You're the only one who
knows exactly what I mean

Exactly what I mean

Well I saw you with your hands above your head
Spinning around, trying not to look down
But you did, and you fell,
hard on the ground

Free

I've been walking around all day,
thinking, I think I have a problem,
I think I think too much
I've been tought to hold back my tears and avoid them
But you've made pain into something I could touch

I've been walking around all day, laughing
Think I'd be better off without you here
And I bet you are sweet and hard to get over
So I'll cry and people will stop and stare
Now that's ok, let them stop and stare

CauseI am fragile
I am hopeless
I'm not perfect
But I am free...

I've been walking around all day, waiting
And waiting is all I seem to do
'cause I never get it unless I'm fed it
But this time I'll just have to
Yeah this time I'll just have to

And I am fragile
I am hopeless
I'm not perfect
But I am free...

Say you're not around... am I finished?
If you're not around that's too bad
Hope you're safe and sound, not alone now
'cause you know I believe in you

I'm still fragile
I'm still hopeless
I'm not perfect
But I am free...

And I am fragile
I am hopeless
I'm not perfect
But I am free...

Gavin DeGraw - We Belong Together (Tristan & Isolde)

Heeeerlijke film, Tristan & Isolde :)
En 'n heel mooie bijhorende song ;-)


We Belong Together

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores

Wedded by the planet force

We've all been spoken for

The hammer may strike,

be dead on the ground

A net to my hand,

a cross on his crown

We're done if who we're undone
Finished if who we are incomplete

As one we are everything

We are everything we need

We belong together

Like the open seas and shores

Wedded by the planet force

We've all been spoken for

What good is a life,

with no one to share

The light of the moon,
the honor of a swear

We could try to live the way of which you speak

Taste the milk of your mother earth's love

Spread the word of consciousness, you see

We are everything we need

We belong together

Like the open seas and shores

Wedded by the planet force

We've all been spoken for

All this indecision

All this independent strength

Still, we've got our hearts on safe

We've got our hearts on safe

Someday when you're lonely
Sometime after all this bliss

Somewhere lost in emptiness

I hope you find this gift

I hope you find this gift

I hope you find this gift

Awesome movie :)

Nick Lachey - What's left of me

Watch my life pass me by
in the rear view mirror
Pictures frozen in time
are becoming clearer

I don't wanna waste another day
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes
Yeah ...

'Cause I want you, and I feel you
crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burning
to find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have what's left of me

I've been dying inside
Little by little
Nowhere to go,
but going out of my mind
In endless circles
Running from myself until
you gave me a reason for standing still

'Cause I want you, and I feel you
crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burning
to find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have what's left of me

It's falling faster, barely breathing
Give me something to believe in
Tell me it's not all in my head

Take what's left of this man
Make me whole once again

'Cause I want you, and I feel you
crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burning
to find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have all that's left,
yeah yeah yeah
What's left of me ...

I've been dying inside, you see
I'm going out of my mind,
out of my mind
I'm just running in circles all the time

Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me
Just running in circles in my mind

Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me
Take what's left of me ...

Madness - It must be love

I never thought I'd miss you
Half as much as I do
And I never thought I'd feel this way
The way I feel
About you

As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know it takes you and me
To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best

How can it be that we can
Say so much without words?
Bless you and bless me
Bless the bees
And the birds

I've got to be near you
Every night, every day
I couldn't be happy
Any other way

It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best

As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know it takes you and me
To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love

Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best




Er is een prachtige versie van dit nummer, gezongen door Jasper Steverlinck (frontzanger van Arid). Echt een aanrader :)

[There is a beautiful version of this song, sung by Jasper Steverlinck (lead vocals of the Belgian group Arid).]

Howie Day - Collide

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide

Michelle Branch - Are You Happy Now

>> Hotel Paper (album by Michelle Branch)

>> Including 'Are you happy now'













ARE YOU HAPPY NOW

Now, don’t just walk away
Pretending everything’s ok
And you don’t care about me

And I know there’s just no use
When all your lies become your truths
and I don’t care,
yeah, yeah, yeah

Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you’re happy now, oh ooh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

You took all there was to take
And left me with an empty plate
And you don’t care about it, yeah

And I am givin' up this game
I’m leaving you with all the blame
‘cause I don’t care,
yeah, yeah, yeah

Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you’re happy now, oh ooh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased?
Are you happy now?
Oh ooh

Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Do you really have everything you want?
You can't ever give somethin' you ain't got
You can’t run away from yourself

Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're happy now, yeah yeah

Come on, tell it to my face or have I been replaced?
Are you happy now? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, ooh...)
Are you happy now? (Yeah, yeah, oh, ooh... )

Would you look me in the eye?
Could you look me in the eye?
I’ve had all that I can take
I'm not about to break
’Cause I’m happy now, oh ooh

Are you happy now?

The Kooks

>> Luke Pritchard (lead vocals, guitar)

Inside In, Inside Out (album) <<

Do you want to see the world
Do you want to see the world
Do you want to see the world
In a different way

I remember how we used to sing
Writing poems in your bed sit
Finding time to be the passenger
But there you are, you never saw me leave
But there you go, you're sailing away
And you know
You never come away

(> See The World)

But you don't love me the way that, I love you
'Cos if you did girl you would not, do those things you do
You killed my heart just to see if, I will rise
Above your anger and above your lies

(> You Don't Love Me)

But oh oh, I love her because
she moves in her own way
And oh oh, she came to my show
just to hear about my day

(> She Moves In Her Own Way, one of their best songs)

You want to go to the seaside?
I'm not trying yo say that everybody wants to go
But I fell in love on the seaside...

(> Seaside)

I want it back
Well yes I want it back
Yes I want you back
Please give it me back
'Cause I want your love
But I can't let myself love you

(> I Want You Back)

Jude - King Of Yesterday

Can you still remember how it seemed
that we could live forever
in a lovers dream

And falling was the best part
but now you know the things you cling to
your heart can start to grow

You, you're walking away
I've been there, now I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday

A silly little love song for myself
It's all I ever do, you know, I shine the shell
A pretty little picture, the face of you
You were my setting sun and now you're every view

You, you're walking away
I've been there, now I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday

Why don't, why don't, why don't you stay
Why don't you stay
Why don't you stay
Why don't you stay

Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You are the one that I want

Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You were the one that I wanted

And someday I'll be over on my own
Believing all the legends of the loves I've known
And seeing you in summer the way we were
when you were seventeen, you know
I much preferred you walking away

I've been here, now I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday

Why don't, why don't, why don't you stay
Why don't you stay
Why don't you stay with me
Stay …

Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You are the one that I want

Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You were the one that I wanted

You were the one that I wanted
King of yesterday
King of yesterday


Zo'n mooi liedje ... =)
