I finally found something to write about in my 100th post (wow!) and it's because a lot has been on my mind lately. Usually when I'm thinking about some serious stuff I ease it all by listening to music, and here those songs fit perfectly to the subject!
Anyway, the thing that has been on my mind is a beautiful and important subject. It's mostly about love towards anything or anyone, and can be described only as the beauty of caring.
All of us have heard the lyrics to that one song that hit us deep at some point of our lives. All of us have (hopefully) had the tingling sensation of hearing something so beautiful that it goes right to your stomach. Well, I've been thinking about the importance of those words and those actions in everyday life, and how big of an impression they leave on a person.
See, I've always been the kind of a person who values romance and beauty beyond naive. I very much still do, but I've (thank god) come to terms with the idea that the actual fairytale that I've been searching for doesn't exist. Still, I seem to live in my own little world of romance and wonders and sometimes it hurts to see how cruel and rough this world can be.
"The world is no longer a romantic place. Some of its people still are, however, and therein lies the promise.
Don't let the world win." -John Cage, Ally McBeal So I dream. I dream about finding those people in this world who appreciate and love me for who I am, unconditionally and throughout. Those, who value each thought and are there to talk some sense into me when my world is falling apart. Those, who can tell me to shut up and I know I really should listen. I dream of a love that overcomes all obsticles, that sees every imperfection perfectly and that makes you go crazy as hell sometimes. Something that is so beautiful that there are no words to describe it, and something that makes you miss it every second that it's away with every fiber of your being.
Unfortunately these things are hard to find. Sometimes I feel alone thinking this way, and most of the time seeing everything so beautifully and missing something so badly makes me seem insane to others. Usually in romantic relationships I end up being the one who cares more, and it's not something you should wish for, even though the greatest moments of it can make you so high you're not sure you're ever coming down.
I love it, really. It makes me go crazy sometimes, it makes me appear dramatic to others, but the feeling you get from those great moments, when you momentarily think you're exactly where you should be, or everything around you appears to you so beautiful it makes you want to cry, it's worth all that. My deep emotions and all the beauty I've seen or heard have made me appreciate everything more, and to hope and to dream, sometimes even beyond rationality. And all that will remain with me, in my memories all my life.
So I'll keep dreaming. I'll keep dreaming the world would be just a little more softer on people. That the love people feel would be extraordinary and always kind. That people would find their other halves, those who they just know are their own pieces of perfect and show it to them every day for the rest of their lives. I hope everyone finds those friends who stick with you through thick and thin, and nothing can ever come between that special bond you have, not other people, not time, not money, not anything. Keep dreaming, keep seeing beauty all around and treat people like they deserve to be treated. I beg of you, please, make this world just a little bit more of caring.
Löysin taas huikeen biisin, se on niin vanha mutta niiiin hyvä. Tuassa!
Hei koht on muuten sata kirjotusta täynnä! Huh :o
Don't stray,
Don't ever go away.
I should be much too smart for this,
You know it gets the better of me.
Sometimes
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you,
Pull me out in time,
Don't let me drown.
Let me down.
I say it's all because of you.
And here I go
Losing my control,
I'm practicing your name
So I can say it
To your face. It doesn't
Seem right
To look you in the eye,
Let all the things
You mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth,
Indeed it's time,
Tell you why
I say it's
Infinitely true.
Say you'll stay,
Don't come and go
Like you do.
Sway my way,
Yeah I need to know
All about you.
And there's no cure,
And no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out.
Instilling so much doubt,
It makes me so tired.
I feel so uninspired.
My head is battling with my heart,
My logic has been torn apart
And now,
It all turns sour.
Come sweeten
Every afternoon.
Say you'll stay,
Don't come and go
Like you do.
Sway my way,
Yeah I need to know
All about you.
Say you'll stay,
Don't come and go
Like you do.
Sway my way,
Yeah I need to know
All about you.
It's all because of you.
It's all because of you.
Now it all turns sour,
Come sweeten
Every afternoon.
It's time,
Tell you why
I say it's
Infinitely true.
Say you'll stay,
Don't come and go
Like you do.
Sway my way,
Yeah I need to know
All about you.
Say you'll stay,
Don't come and go
Like you do.
Sway my way,
Yeah I need to know
All about you.
It's all because of you.
It's all because of you.
It's all because of you.
Today I stumbled on a Facebook status that was quite depressing, and I started to wonder if it actually might be true. Well, partly at least. It basically said that no matter what we do we'll never be happy so we should just cut the act and stop insisting it is so. My first thought was "But I am happy, this is bulllshit." But then I started to wonder.
So I, and many more keep saying we're happy. That all is right with the world and you're satisfied with your life as it is. But is it just a lie that we use to cover up the fact that a human being can never be fully satisfied? There is always something we'd like to change if given the change, no matter how happy and satisfied we might seem. You may ask a person how they're doing, and when they answer "great", it will usually be followed with a "but then there's this".
For the last couple of months I myself have been saying that I've actually never been happier. That my life seems and feels perfect at the moment, and that there is nothing I would change. Bullshit. That is just the bigger picture. Damn sure I would find things I'd like to change, things that have not quite met my expectations in life and things that I could even help myself but I've just been too lazy to do anything about it. And god how selfish, ignorant and simply awful it feels to be even thinking about this. Am I never going to be satisfied, do I always want more? Could I actually just say "I'm doing great" without any buts or maybes?
Even though it feels ungrateful to be wondering such things, I also think it is vital for the human race and for us simple human beings to always want more, to always want to evolve. That's what keeps us going in life and that's what is running the world. So yes, it might be necessary to never be satisfied or completely happy in that matter, so that you'll always try to climb up, change your point of view and have new dreams. This is why I separated two kinds of happiness in my mind.
There is the one that keeps us going, the one that keeps us dreaming, the one that is never satisfied with the little things in life, so that you'll always find something to nag about, something to evolve in. But then there's the happy life -happiness. That happiness that people are said to see completely only when they're lying on their death beds. That last idea that tells you if you've lived your life the way you're satisfied with, the thought of not regretting too many things you haven't done, or sometimes even the things you have.
So yeah, I'll always be nagging about the little things. I hate it when he does that, why can't I be more determined in life, god how annoying it can be when people are being like this, why am I still staying in that low-paying job... You know what I'm talking about here, don't you? But these things that I complain about, in the end they'll step aside. Because I happen to love it when he does these other things, and I'm amazed how I love him more each day. I'll always work extremely hard for everything the person I've grown to be finds precious in life. When it comes to people, they can surprise you at every corner of life, and I even belong to one of those lucky ones who actually happen to have a job.
So maybe I'll complain. Loud and a lot, all my life. But while I'm taking my last breath, I'll gladly tell you how incredible my life was, because when you spend it with the people you love, doing things that you love, that's the kind of happiness to be appreciated and cherished, and never to be ruined by some small issues on the way. That's why I am and always will be utterly happy and satisfied.
Oon aivan hämmentyny, nimittäin mun blogissa on ollu vierailuja yli 5 000! En olis ikinä uskonu että kirjottelen pari hassuu ajatusta ylös ja joku oikeesti käy niitä lueskelemassa, kun ei itsellään oo ollu yhtään tarkotuksena jaella blogia minnekään ja oon kirjotellut lähinnä omaksi ilokseni!
Mutta hei kiva että jotakuta kiinnostaa ja kiitos tästä kiinnostuksesta! :) Toivottavasti ootte löytäny jotain itsellenne täältä jossain vaiheessa!
Viime viikonlopun jälkeen oon ollu niin pää pilvissä ja niin jotenkin tunteellisella tuulella että oksat pois. Joten tästä luonnollisesti seuraa se etten osaa olla hiljaa tännekään suuntaan! Ensinnäkin, tosissaan, viime viikonloppu oli uskomaton. On se kummaa että kun jonkun ihmisen kanssa tekee mitä tahansa niin se on AINA käsittämättömän hienoa. Lauantaina oli samassa seurassa vielä kaiken lisäksi häät, jotka oli jotain niin ihanaa että en pääse yli. Kyynelehdin siellä hulluna, enkä ollu todellakaan ainoa. Sunnuntaina harmitti kovasti lähteä takasin Kotkaan päin.
Oon nyt taistellu etten olis ihan yltiöällölöllö ja postailis mitään ihania kuvia ja huutelis maailmalle mitään mitä tekee miel huudella, ja aion jatkaa tätä taistelua, eli keskityn mieluummin nyt tähän kaverien keskuudessa pyörivään hääteemaan mistä jaan teille enemmän! Eli viime viikonlopun ja tulevan viikonlopun häiden innoittamana ajattelin jakaa teillekin biisejä joita oon keränny itelleni valmiiksi mun mahdollista juhlasuunnitteluyritystä varten. Koko listan löydätte seuraavasta linkistä For weddings ja tässä toinen lista josta voi olla hyötyä jos etsiskelee itselleen häihin kappaleita Unconditional love
Saa seurata vapaasti! Seuraavaksi kuitenkin omat suosikkini sanoineen päivineen, plus pari mainittavaa hieman erikoisempaa valintaa.
1. Pearl Jam-Future Days
Tää biisi on tullu mulle todella tärkeeksi tän vuoden puolella ja mun mielestä tää kuvaa kaikkea niin täydellisesti. Tää on alunperin How I Met Your Motherista Robinin ja Barneyn häistä revitty, mutta sanatkin on niin aivan ihanat, että uskon jonkin muunkin pystyvän samaistumaan.
If I ever were to lose you,
I'd surely lose myself
Everything that I have found here,
I've not found by myself,
Try and sometimes you'll succeed,
To make this man of me
All of my stolen missing parts
I've no need for anymore
I believe,
And I believe 'cause I can see,
Our future days,
Days of you and me
Back when I was feeling broken,
I focused on a prayer
You came deep as any ocean
It's something out there here
All the complexities and games
No one wins, but somehow, they still play
All the missing crooked hearts
They may die, but in us they live on
I believe,
And I believe 'cause I can see,
Our future days,
Days of you and me
When hurricanes and cyclones rage,
When wind turned dirt to dust,
When floods they came or tides they raised ever,
Closer became us
All the promises at sundown,
I meant them like the rest,
All the demons used to come around,
I'm grateful now they've left
So persistent in my ways,
Here an angel, lying here to stay
No resistance, no alarms,
please this is just too good to be gone
I believe,
And I believe 'cause I can see,
Our future days,
Days of you and me,
You and me,
It's you and me
Fleetwood Mac-Songbird
Ykkösen jälkeen on mahdotonta laittaa muita järjestykseen. Tän löysin kun katselin Gleetä. Huikee levy, huikee biisi.
For you, there'll be no more crying. For you, the sun will be shining. And I feel that when I'm with you, It's alright, I know it's right.
To you, I'll give the world. To you, I'll never be cold. 'Cause I feel that when I'm with you, It's alright, I know it's right.
And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score. And I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before.
And I wish you all the love in the world. But most of all, I wish it from myself.
And the songbirds keep singing, like they know the score And I love you, I love you, I love you Like never before, like never before, like never before.
Staind-So Far Away
Tää on ainoastaan mun henkilökohtaisia suosikkeja, ja tää ei välttämättä kaikille aukee. Kuitenkin, nätti kappale josta vois tehdä vähän ei niin rokin version ja se olis ihana. Viidennellä luokalla päätin että jos joskus menen naimisiin niin tää on mun häätanssi. Noh, ehkä nyt on jo toinen suosikki mutta kymmenisen vuotta se kesti.
This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I've never lived before
Somebody shake me
'Cause I
I must be sleeping [chorus]
Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
and all the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here
It's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed
to be the person that I am today
These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay And this is the smile
That I've never shown before Somebody shake me
'cause I
I must be sleeping [chorus]
I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me [chorus]
Bruce Springsteen-If I Should Fall Behind
Tää on niin upee kappale joka on tuttu lapsuudesta asti. Rakastan tätä koska tää on jollain tapaa kovin realistinen. Tässä ei oleteta ihmeitä, tunnustetaan se työ mitä on tehtävä ja pyydetään toista tekemään se yhdessä sun kanssa. Ah.
We said we'd walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walkin a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me
Joel Hallikainen & Timo Koivusalo-Entä Sitten
Tää on ihana suomalainen kappale joka on Pekko-elokuvista tuttu! Tän kun sais jonkun ystävän esittämänä niin ah miten ihanaa. Kaunis kappale, hitaana versiona nimenomaan.
Entä sitten kun linnut on lähteneet ja verkkaan käy virtojen juoksu
Entä sitten kun päivät on viilenneet ja poissa on nurmien tuoksu
Sinä vieläkö viivyt mun vierelläin tuuli tuiskuna lunta kun heittää
Yhä kätesi löydänkö kädestäin paksu jää vaikka muistoja peittää
Entä sitten kun päivä jo hämärtyy se pois viekö elämän uskon
Entä sitten kun eessämme värjäytyy ranta taivaan jo väreillä ruskon
Sinä vieläkö viivyt mun vierelläin aallot raueten iltaan kun taipuu
Yhä kätesi löydänkö kädestäin päivä lopulta mailleen kun vaipuu
Entä sitten kun lyhenee askeleet on haaveiden tilalla muistot
Entä sitten kun silmiin saa kyyneleet nauru lasten ja leikkipuistot
Sinä vielä jos viivyt mun vierelläin kun on kaikki jo sanottu kerran
Sulle ojentaa tahtoisin elämäin
se on sun yhden elämän verran (2x)
Sleeping At Last-Turning Page
Tää on ikävä kyllä jääny vissiin vähän huonoon maineeseen koska on sattunu olemaan osana Twilight-elokuvaa, mutta tää on silti käsittämättömän kaunis rakkauslaulu ja toivottavasti se elokuva ei jäis leimaamaan tätä ikuisiksi ajoiksi.
I’ve waited a hundred years
But I’d wait a million more for you
Nothing prepared me for
What the privilege of being yours would do
If I had only felt the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen how you smile when you blush
Or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough
Well I would have known
What I was living for all along
What I’ve been living for
Your love is my turning page
Where only the sweetest words remain
Every kiss is a cursive line
Every touch is a redefining phrase
I surrender who I’ve been for who you are
For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart
If I had only felt how it feels to be yours
Well I would have known
What I’ve been living for all along
What I’ve been living for
Though we’re tethered to the story we must tell
When I saw you, well I knew we’d tell it well
With a whisper we will tame the vicious seas
Like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees
Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors-What Would I Do Without You
Tästä ei oo juuri muuta sanottavaa kuin se, että tän biisin sanat kertoo sen kaiken.
Sometimes I wake up with a sadness
Other days it feels like madness
Oh…what would I do without you?
When colours turn to shades of grey
With the weight of the world at the end of the day
Oh…what would I do without you?
A decade goes by without a warning
And there’s still a kindness in your eyes
Amidst the questions and the worries
A peace of mind, always takes me by surprise.
I feel like I’m walking with eyes as blind
As a man without a lantern in a coal mine
Oh…what would I do without you?
My imagination gets the best of me
And I’m trying to hide lost at sea
Oh…what would I do without you?
The difference between what I've said and done
And you’re still standing by my side
A guilty soul and a worried mind
I will never make it, if I’m on my own
So you’ve got the morning, I’ve got midnight
You are patient, I’m always on time
Oh…what would I do without you?
You’ve got your sunshine, I’ve got rainclouds
You’ve got hope, I’ve got my doubts
Ja tässä vielä pari erikoisempaa, mainitsemisen arvoista linkkiä joista joku saattaa innostua. Ei sitä aina tarvitse olla niin perinteisiä kappaleita. :)
