You don't know what it's like to love somebody the way I love you.

Artist: The Bee Gees
Album: Bee Gees' 1st
Year: 1967


There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you

There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind

I'm a man, can't you see
What I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
I ain't got you, ain't got

Traaalaaaaaaaaa ....... here comes the song of the day! I really like this song. I like most of their songs. I listen to this song and think how it starts on a near normal tone, and slowly with the advancing stanzas it starts perpetuating sadness. A profound sadness arising from the sense of hopelessly being in love with an impossible person.

To think of it, in reality too, it takes some time for any kind of profound emotion experienced to sink in, isn't it. This song seems so personal, as if while in the process of singing the singer suddenly realizes the truth of the lyrics and cannot help the sadness of his heart from creeping into the rendition, slowly.

This is a song by Bee Gees, written and performed by them. Such lyrics don't just happen, we like to believe that they are fruits of some personal experiences. It made me wonder.....these people are famous people, and we usually associate famous people with luck and fortune, luck atleast in love. Who wouldn't fall in love with a rockstar or a popstar or whatever! Someone sure didn't, as the song indicates. We humans, 'nobodies' as well as a 'somebody' always do manage to fall in love with a wrong person, always, at some point in our lives. Strange.

( Now I am trying to get into the heads of the Bee Gees.....ha ha....I am absolutely fascinating!)

You wanna make a memory by Bon Jovi

Artist / Band : Bon Jovi
Single Lyrics from Album : Lost Highway
Released : March, 2007
Genre : Hard Rock



Hello again, it’s you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin’ wine, killing time
Trying to solve life’s mysteries

How’s your life, it’s been a while
God it’s good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave

If you don’t know if you should stay
If you don’t say what’s on your mind
Baby just breathe
There’s nowhere else tonight we should be

You wanna make a memory?

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had.
It’s bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing I don’t wanna ask

If you go now, I’ll understand
If you stay, hey, I’ve got a plan
We’re gonna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines

You wanna make a memory?

I chanced upon this album at the gym today. I absolutely loved it, and had to ask at some point which one this was. Gotta buy this soon. I love the album name too. Until I get hold of the ONCE soundtrack, guess I'll stay hooked to this one for sometime now:).

Selfish busyness

Indeed, a very busy day,
Not a moment to spare,
Unbound from the shackles of thought,
On such days I hardly care.
Nothing matters, even ones so dearly sought,
I feel free and faraway.

Inspite of the day being quite busy, and inspite of me trying to keep my mind blank, something strange did manage to happen. And now I cannot stop myself from thinking, atleast to some extent about the past. A blast from the past kinda thing:)!!! I am utterly confused....should I feel pity, or should I let myself derive sadistic pleasure from the situation(which somehow I am not being able to do as I cared too much once). I guess I should just let myself feel sad, and reinforce my belief in the statement that "whatever happens, happens for the best". It did, for me. Not for the other person though, probably.

Days account

Spent almost the entire sunday at my cousins place. This is one place where I feel completely at ease. The whole day, we just ended up pulling each others legs and eating, God did we overeat today! Yesterdays tummy ache might come back tonight:(. Had a really relaxed weekend after a long time.

We laughed and we ate
Chocolate, pasta and cheese,
Chicken and crab even.
Sunday was fun, cousin's a tease,
His craziness totally proven.
But I love him albeit!

Thought of the long long night....

"it is fascinating how our lives are defined not only by people who are with us - but also by some that cannot be."

Quoting a person I know, or rather used to know long time back(whom I still know, but in a different way). This he wrote in a mail to me while talking about the movie 'ONCE'. How true. How very true. As if he read my mind(or rather my blog...)!

Came back from a party, with tummy ache and a very bad headache:(. I guess I am going to be sick on sunday. Inspite of physical discomfort it was a nice evening. It was mostly a gathering of families with children of different sizes, it feels good to see your kid interacting with other kids, now that she speaks in sentences(that too in english, which is important here as her peers are multilingual), it's all the more fun watching them play together. She had a great time, and me too, watching her having so. Someone commented that she is becoming sweeter with passing time, and very typically I replied that she's bound to be, she is my daughter afterall, sweetness personified. Surprisingly the speaker very enthusiastically(and seriously) agreed with me:).

Someone else complimented me by saying that I am a very creative person(don't know why/where that came from). Feels good to hear good things though, about ownself and people you so love.

Memories old and somewhat fresh,
Some bitter, some sweet,
Mostly not gone un-cherished.
Some moments're all-time treat,
While few are better perished.
Just need to sieve and thresh!

I dwell too much in the past, recent as well as long gone, how sad is that. This is getting kinda regressive. Gotta think about something fresh, ziplock fresh!!!

Free spirit

The sunshine is on
And sky is bright and blue,
And the spirit is to be free.
Mind's clear, nothing to rue
Found atlast the lost key
To happiness. The gloom's gone!

AAAAh what a relief:). The feel of the sunshine changes with season. Since a few days back it has taken on a lighter, fresher, brighter hue. One look outside and the heart suddenly soars with an unexplained happiness. I am thankful, oh yeah, that I feel this way today. I am trying, I am trying very hard. I am a positive person by nature, I hate to be sad, I always find ways to feel happy. Hope that doesn't change too often. Some dark days are fine, they make you more reflective and introspective, you become wiser, they are also needed. But I want to be happy and free most of the days of my life. Brooding leads to nothing.

I have a strong sense of smell(ha ha...now what is this leading to!), perhaps an outcome of spending too many years of my life with dogs and cats:). I don't know if other people feel this way, but I have noticed that the night air smells different from the morning air, and early morning air smells different from daytime air. It happens rarely these days, but I love it when I get a chance to spend the entire night outside, and feel the difference in the fragrance of air with each passing hour until it's morning. There is something magical about night. You know a person for very long, spend many waking moments with that person, you like each other and everything, but then you get a chance to spend a night in conversation,and then there's suddenly a special kind of bond. I have experienced this in many instances, cousins became best buddies after a night spent talking instead of sleeping, friends became lovers, lovers became soulmates and so on and so forth.

I am hugely capable of disoriented thoughts...ha ha.
