More songs from Wicked
Thursday, December 10, 2009
Hello! I have been listening to songs from Wicked recently. Here's a few beautiful ones..
1. For Good -- Elphaba and Glinda
Think we should sing stuffs like this when we graduate..
2. No Good Deed --Elphaba
Very touching.. "Fiyero" is such a musical name!
3. As Long As You're Mine-- Elphaba and Fiyero
4. Thank Goodness
Sad implications behind the song but it is sung it such a spirited manner!

All This Time
Saturday, October 24, 2009
Today I just went for Boarding Annual Dinner 2009--Celebration of Togetherness in Diversity. I was in the deco comm and feel a little bit sad that I won't be seeing them again, since a whole lota them are from other schools and I will be leaving Boarding when I become a year 6 next year. Will miss you guys!
More importantly, throughout the event, I kept reminding myself to not be too absorbed by self-indulgence, an important point which is aptly highlighted in this song by Delirious--All This Time. I won't embed it here but you can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXtAObsf2aw
All This Time--Delirious
I’m a father and a son;
I’ve been a lover with just one,
But this world can get me all undone,
And I’m frightened I’m the only one.
I wrestle with the thoughts I keep,
If I sow the seed of arrogance
Then it’s loneliness I’ll reap,
It’s loneliness I’ll reap.
Please don’t leave me stranded here,
With a head of lies and a heart of fear.
My life’s a show on Gods TV,
The world an audience, watching me.
So wake me, shake me, keep me sharp,
As I touch the power of Gods great harp.
And this world can fill your head with praise,
That steals me from eternal grace.
So how can I serve God and wealth?
I can captivate an army, but I can’t control myself.
I can’t control myself.
Ghostly figure out at sea,
I hear a voice that’s calling me,
To walk upon the waves of faith.
For in the arms of God, I am safe.
[The highest point of the song]
All this time, since the day that I was born,
I’ve never known a time like this,
I don’t wanna let you down.
I will sing, sing for your light has come.

Bill Gilman's songs

Hello people!
Thanks to Vera's introduction, I have been listening to a couple of Bill Gilman songs..
Here's three of my favourites!
1. Oklahoma
This is classic.. If I don't listen to it for a while and I listen to it again, I will feel like crying all over again.
2. God's Alive and Well
Very nice lyrics. When he first appeared on Larry King Live, I think he was supposed to sing another song. But in view of the then-"recent" 911 attacks, he chose to sing this song instead. I didn't put up the live version because I prefer the use of a few instruments in this version.
3. My Time On Earth
Again, he sang this on Larry King Live. I like the chorus lyrics a lot..
I like I Gotta Make It To Summer as well but.. if ever there is a next time, next time! ;)

How Could I Live Without You
For your love is higher than heavens
Deeper than seas
All I want is You in my life
No one else can satisfy my soul
Make me fill this way
Only You Lord, Only You
For your love is higher than heavens
Deeper than seas
All I want is You in my life
No one else can satisfy my soul
Make me fill this way
Only You Lord, Only You
