Have always love Bon Jovi for his solid voice, meaningful lyrics and power music.
dedicate this one to you, one of my favorites from him.
finally, i’ve found someone whom i can dedicate this song to.. it’s exactly what i was trying to say but couldn’t say yesterday, and when i was using the simplest and most stupid words, whether or not it conveyed the message, i meant it all, with my fullest and most sincere heart…
..
Thank You, for loving me…
Thank You For Loving Me
It’s hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There’s no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We’ll leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words tonight
[Chorus:]
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky’s a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you’d make believe
That you believed my lies
[Chorus:]
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me
[Solo]
Lock the doors
We’ll leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words tonight
[Chorus:]
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
You parted my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
When I couldn’t fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Didn’t know you have a taste for Corinne’s songs as well, i’ve been listening to her for quite a while as her R&B is somewhat different from others, and for the fact that she wrote most of the pieces herself. a very talented lady.
You told me how special this song is to us. somehow, it’ll definitely be on the audio when we were pouring each other’s heart.
and because, you said it says the words you want to say.
so, here you go, i’m gonna put it up here, just for you. as well as everyone else who loves Corinne Bailey Rae.
.
on another note, i would also love to take this opportunity to send the deepest condolence to Corinne for the departure of her beloved husband on the 28th March 2008, may he rest in peace.
Corinne Bailey Rae - Like a Star
Just like a star across my sky,
just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life,
feel like I’ll never be the same,
just like a song in my heart,
just like oil on my hands,
Honor to love you
Still i wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,
You’ve got this look i can’t describe,
you make me feel I’m alive,
when everything else is au fait,
without a doubt you’re on my side,
heaven has been away too long,
can’t find the words to write this song of your love,
Still i wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,
Now i have come to understand,
the way it is,
It’s not a secret anymore,
’cause we’ve been through that before,
from tonight I know that you’re the only one,
I’ve been confused and in the dark,
now I understand,
Yeah-yeah
Oooh……Ooohhhh..
I wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this,
with anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
for anyone but you
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,
Just like a star across my sky,
just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life,
feel like I’ll never be the same,
just like a song in my heart,
just like oil on my hands.
been following Shayne’s music since his days while he was still struggling in the reality TV show X-Factor, when he wasn’t even known to a lot of people back here in Malaysia. due to the reason because i’m a real sucker to new voices. somehow, this fella has this special Charisma that would glue you to his voice even if you don’t really fancy over-night celebrities.
His new and second studio album “Breathless” didn’t disappoint me like some of the over-night stars, instead of ballad style like most of his titles in the first album, he gave new genres a little try in this new album, such as “If That’s Ok With You” that has some element of Reggae, and some RnB in “No U Hang Up”.. i always admire celebrities who are willing enough to jump out of the commercial box and give a try to new styles instead of hiding themselves in their so-called “safe-zone”, especially those over-night stars who’ve won fame over reality TV show.
as usual, his high pitch has brought much life to the main title “Breathless” and gave the song a certain level of sexiness. i realized, it wasn’t the MV that’s sexy, but his voice. and when it comes to sexiness, the MVs in this album featured much flesh than the previous album, pretty much of flesh flashed and red hot love-making scenes. and that made me believe the top 5 rules in Sales Bible said: “SEX SELLS”, no doubt, because i’ve been repeating his MVs. however, i hope this better not become the main reason why he sells.
here, highly recommended by me.

The 3rd and i guess the last album from his “SUPER” trilogy. Gary Chaw has been one of my latest favorite singer, simply for his wide vocal range as well as his talents. as compared to some other Malaysian originated artiste, he is the only one so far who can not only sing well, but create, compose as well as experiment with music. he is, to me, not only a singer, a celebrity, but an artiste, a musician. for those of you who’ve heard his on-stage live performance like me, i’m sure you’ll be awed by his extraordinary live performing skill. personally, he is another person who is on par with my all time favorite MISIA, whereby both of their voices during live performances are as good as their studio recorded albums
due to my special love for jazz music, my personal favorite in this album is track 10 - 愛的弧度. it’s the perfect blend of contempt jazz with chinese lyrics, i hope he can produce more pieces like this in his upcoming albums… this fella, darn, he is good.
on an overall scale, however this is a pretty well done album, though they’re still some unavoidable commercialized factors in some of the songs, the overall result of his album to me has overcome the commercialized factors, that’s on a personal note. it’s up to you to decide. he has once again proved his ability in playing around and experimenting with music. and most importantly, he hasn’t fail me yet to tickle my urge for multiple music types in one single album, on a very personal note, it’s been a very pleasant experience listening to his album.
Seriously speaking, how many soul music artists are there in the Chinese music industry? and how many of them can actually play it like him? After 2 albums from him, i’ve totally fallen in love with his music and his talent. there are many artists in the Chinese music industry who love to self-proclaim that they are the singers of Chinese R&B. Yes, Jay Chou maybe is the R&B sensation of the decade, not until you listen to Khalil Fong, a humble and talented musician whom you can feel his passion for R&B and Soul in his music. noone, i mean, NO ONE could make such soulful music in the Chinese Music Industry like him yet.
don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying Jay isn’t good, he’s cool and he’s definitely one of the most gifted musicians. really, Jay earned his status in the industry. during his early days, i was crazy about him as well because i thought there finally is going to be a real Chinese R&B musician, however, he sort of disappointed me after i listened to his 3rd album as there’s not much of changes, he has been playing the same type of music over and over again with different lyrics.
and this is where Khalil Fong stands out, like David Tao (陶喆), you can have a taste of almost everything in one single studio album, in terms of instruments, performing styles, music types, mood change, etc. however, maybe the genre of music of his kind doesn’t really appeal your senses, or maybe it’s just that you haven’t get used to this genre of music in Chinese. anyway, if you still don’t know who the heck is Khalil Fong, now, it’s time for you to get to know him, his music as well as the real original R&B and Soul Music.
..
alright now, i would like to proudly recommend to you:
