24 dan 360 Jam.

Untuk beberapa orang yang realistik dan juga tidak ingin berandai-andai, mungkin memikirkan tentang "saat ini" adalah hal paling menyenangkan. Tidak ada beban untuk mewujudkan pemikiran "yang akan datang". Mereka melihat sesuatu dalam jangka waktu 24 jam kedepan. 360 jam selanjutnya mungkin akan dipikirkan nanti saat sudah mendekati saat tersebut.

Saya tidak termasuk orang yang ada di paragraf pertama tersebut. Saya senang memikirkan bagaimana apa yang harus saya lakukan 360 jam kedepan, 48 jam kedepan. Saya suda merencanakan apapun itu, terutama hal-hal yang membuat saya excited. Saya berusaha untuk mewujudkannya hari demi hari. Kadang saya sebal sendiri karena apa yang sudah saya rencanakan malah melenceng jauh. Tapi kembali lagi, setidaknya saya berusaha.

song for today

if we are only friends why do you kiss me like you do?
if we are only friends why do you hold me all night through?
do the words "i love you" never come to your mind
don't you know i love you? or is love really blind?

and every time we dance when there is starlight up above
i wonder if by chance you will discover this is love
could we be as happy as we both seem to be?
could we be so happy for the whole world to see if we are only friends?

all evening in your arms you hold me 'til suddenly it's time to part
i wonder why you always hold me so close to your heart

if we are only friends
why don't you dance with someone new and when the party ends
why do i always leave with you there's a happy ending
but on you that depends and until you tell me
i can only say
we're just very good friends
we are only good friends
we're still very good friends.

lagu dari francoise hardy - only friend atau dalam bahasa prancisnya ton meilleur ami
iseng menjelajah di youtube kemarin malam
dan taaaraaa ini lagu ternyata tahun 1964. masih banyak lagu lama yang sungguh
ngena di hati dan kuping, lirik simpel tapi berkesan
oiya, coba cek 'i want you to want me' nya cheap trick
"i want you to want me, i need you to need me, i'd love you to love me and i'm begging you to beg me"

ANOTHER GREATEST SATURDAY NITE

ALONE AT LAST. setelah sekian lama, sejak dari SMP saya sudah mendengar lagu dari mereka (dan skrg saya kuliah). pertama mendengarkan lewat myspace mereka. baru malam itu 19 maret 2011 saya bisa melihat aksi panggung mereka secara langsung.

percaya atau tidak saya terharu melihat aksi mereka, apalagi saat yas 'berpidato' tentang free drugs. PMA! ah saya suka mereka yang sangat ramah. dan saya lebih merinding lagi melihat yas mencium salah satu standalone crew yg ikut bernyanyi di atas panggung hahaha..

can't wait to see you all again in malang!

selain itu, saya juga bertemu mbak komang kinderwall yang ternyata duduk disebelah saya. hahaha.. dan akhirnya bertegur sapa, sayangnya mbak komang ga mau maju kedepan pas AAL main, jadinya saya sendirian di depan panggung haha.

tapi walaupun begitu, malam itu adalah another great sat-nite setelah nonton rocket rockers taun lalu. satu persatu band lawas yang saya gandrungi sejak SMP datang untuk bermain ke Malang. ya semoga band luar negri dambaan saya bisa mampir ke malang. malang punya kripik tempe yg renyah, serenyah senyum saya :D

still PMA All day!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITIN' FOR?

Here we are again
I feel the chemicals kickin' in
It's gettin' heavier
I wanna run and hide

[Neon Trees - Animal]

FUN. - BE CALM

As I walk through the streets of my new city
my back feeling much better, I suppose
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly I'm lost
On my street
On my block

Oh why, Oh why
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time it's for real, I can see

The tops of trees are turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe

and be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.

I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
"I always see you looking out your window."
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
says I should either leave or pick it up
But with every single buck I've made
I'm saddled with bad luck that came

the moment I was baptized
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
if only I could find my people or my place in life
a when they come a'carolin'
so loud, so bright, the theremin
will lead us to a chorus
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:

Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.

I don't remember much that night,
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
When from that street corner came a song
And I can't remember the man,
The panhandler or his melody.
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.

Oh be calm
Be calm
I know you feel like you are breaking down
I know it gets so hard sometimes
Be calm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times
You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm
Be calm
