simple but true

i’m not a country music fan. and i don’t even really know who randy travis is. but i was watching reruns of extreme makeover: home edition, and he performed at a fund-raising concert on the show. the song he sang was in most respects a typical country song: melodramatic lyrics, upbeat tempo, lots of “twang”. but the few lines of the chorus really struck me. they were simple, uncomplicated, true.

dedicated as usual to hubby.

FOUR WALLS (randy travis)

Yeah, we’ve got everything that we need,
Between the two of us:
Four walls, three words, two hearts, one love

that’s it in a nutshell.

beauty and the beast

i used to watch this series when i was in grade school, i think. or was it early high school? whenever it was, there was this show on tv starring linda hamilton (most known for her role in terminator) that i was hooked on. and i specially loved its soundtrack.

recently, i was thrilled to find out that my sister in law had a cd with the show’s theme song on it. and now, every time hubby and i go out, i listen to the song in the car – much to his dismay. hehe i keep singing out loud and emoting, i just love the song that much. and although it’s a bit cheesy, i think he’s warming to it too. hehe..

it’s just an added bonus that the lyrics are appropriate too. so if you have time, look up the song. it’s old and not too popular, but i’ll bet it’ll sound familiar to you. enjoy.

THE FIRST TIME I LOVED FOREVER (melanie) — dedicated to my hubby as usual..

The first time I loved forever was when you whispered my name.
And I knew at once you loved me for the me of who I am.
The first time I loved forever I cast all else aside.
And I bid my heart to follow, be there no more need to hide.

And if wishes and dreams are merely for children, and
if love’s a tale for fools,
I’ll live the dream with you.

For all my life and forever, there’s a truth I will always know.
When my world divides and shatters, your love is where I’ll go

weekend’s over again..

..and it’s back to subic for hubby ferdie. another five days of waiting. this weekend was specially tiring: super duper last minute preparations for the dedication, dealing with a cranky baby, getting into a public argument with someone i despise.. two days with one of the people who can help cheer me up really isn’t enough. i need more alone time with ferdie, or a vacation with patty boots and ting.

bone tired and missing you – not one of my better days.

 

To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn’t think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold, Utopian dream.

You do something to me that I can’t explain.
So would I be out of line if I said “I miss you”?

I see your picture.
I smell your skin on
The empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days,
But already I’m wasting away.
I know I’ll see you again
Whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care,
And I miss you.

- i miss you (incubus)

»here with me«

there are some songs that are so appropriate for certain situations and certain people.. that’s why i created a new category for this blog: songs for my hubby..

right now, hubby ferdie is working in subic.. and he only comes home during weekends. it’s tough, me staying home and having a two-month old baby to take care of too. but we’re getting by. here’s a song i’ve always loved, and it seems all the more bittersweet and appropriate given our situation now.

wuv you ferdie. mondays thru fridays, the days are just shadowed memories.

 

HERE WITH ME (dido)

i didn’t hear you leave
I wonder how am i still here
I don’t want to move a thing
It might change my memory
Oh i am what i am
I’ll do what i want
But i can’t hide
I won’t go
I won’t sleep
I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here with me

I don’t want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And i can’t leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that’s been

Oh i am what i am
I’ll do what i want
But i can’t hide
I won’t go
I won’t sleep
I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here with me
