Feeling melancholic ? you betcha... oh well... haha.. there's always friends to give you warm hugs.. and the hugs that really mean something...

the comforting feeling that "i will be there... no matter what happens to the world..."

wow... what a feeling...

anyway, new video up... haix... sad song... actually not really... its a real hopeful song... just listen to the lyrics... its well... it goes like this...

Sewn - The Feeling

Give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
And god knows
You got me sewn
Nah nah nah etc.

Danny boy, don't be afraid, to shake that ass, and misbehave
Danny boy, I now you got time, but what are you waiting for,
Anyway the dust may just blow away, if you wait for a windy day
But you may find the chance has past you by;
I can't do the way
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend
So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
So give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft And god knows
You got me sewn
Nah nah nah etc.

Danny boy, don't be a fool
Take upon to break the rule
Danny boy your lookin so low
You lookin like the dead grown old
Anyway the blues just may wash away, if you wait for a rainy day
But you may find, the chance had past you by
I can't do the walk
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend Unless
I pretend So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
So give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
Yeah, yeah, yeah
oh Yeah, yeah, yeah etc.

Its actually a very hopeful song aint it ? it may be really sad sounding but hey ! it has hope... just what i need... hope.. that one day.. the right one will come by... :)

the right one will make my head soft... :)
and let me walk the walk... talk the talk.. haha.. :D

I was talking about myself. ha. Smile. And the world will smile with you. Pictures, still and moving alike. Laughs. And more to come. Friends. Can't Live without them. Art. Total Appreciation. Love.
