Little Velveteen Knight - Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows

Infants like phantoms, denied and suspected, their existence discovered always when least expected. Prepared for the day, the knight, he just cannot keep the perfect mask in its place, when he is falling asleep. Faces slacken in slum ber, each rigid muscle relaxes, without warning the hidden child comes to the surface. From the deepest darkness, some unnameable place, of the tower inverted, forms a different face; climbing upwards with effort, to see through the eyes… windows to the soul -now shut- are starring inside. And while the outside beholder sees the face of a child, this fearful and helpless infant turns to a wild beast inside: becomes the architect of the most terrible dreams and puts a cruel fears of death into our hero’s sleep…

This child is a dragon, who you must strive to kill, though it defeated you once… and, yes, it always will! Oh, little velveteen knight (and heroes of all kinds), endeavour to slay the dragon (and yourselves when you try)! Yes, this monster’s immortal … and your fight is in vain, it only will last forever, some monsters just cannot be slain. This infant’s a beast, and the dragon’s its guardian, protecting his child, so that no one can harm it, their most gruesome shape puts the fear of death into our supposed (but velveteen) hero; yet, you must get me right: there is no choice for the child, its intentions are good and always upright. Tell me, why do you from?

Do you bear questions… or doubt?

Have you not recognised that both, dragon and child, are in face more than kin— they represent the same thing! And all our characters that you will see or seem are merely part of the dreamer… and therefore the dream.

Gw kebanyakan dengerin Tokio Hotel (cuman empat lagu doang) sampe gw discover ini ada bagus dari Jerman juga. Tapi ya gitu agak-agak darkish, dandanan kayak Marilyn Manson tapi cewek bok, iya cewek. Gw kira cowok. Hahahaha. Dengerin tadi malam dari 8tracks. Suka banget kesannya kayak penyihir jahat terus ketawa-ketawa di depan kuali. Tapi mungkin akan ada beberapa bagian yang agak ngagetin apalagi kalau didengerin tengah malem pake headphone.

Katie Melua - The Flood

Broken people get recycled
And I hope that I will
Sometimes we’re thrown off our pathways
What I thought was my way home
Wasn’t the place I -

No I am not afraid of changing
I am certain nothing’s certain
What we own becomes our prison
My possessions will be gone
Back to where they came from

Blame no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again

See the rock that you hold onto
Is it gonna save you?
When the earth begins to crumble
Why do you feel you have to
Hold on imagine if you let go

Blame no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again

Wash away the weight that pulls you down
Ride the waves that free you from your doubts

Don’t trust your eyes (wash away…)
It’s easy to believe them
Know with your heart that (the weight that pulls you down)
You can leave your prison
Don’t trust your mind (ride the wave…)
It’s not always listening
Turn on the lights (that free you from your doubts)
And feel the ancient rhythm

Don’t trust your eyes (Blame, no one is to blame)
It’s easy to believe them (As natural as the …)
Know in your heart
That you can leave your prison (Rain, here comes the flood again)

Blame no one is to blame (la la)
As natural as the rain that falls (la la)
Here comes the flood again (la la)

The Dreamer - The Tallest Man on Earth

i’m just a dreamer but i’m hanging on
though i am nothing big to offer
i watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
it’s like nothing in this world’s ever still

and i’m just a shadow of your thoughts in me
but sun is setting, shadows growing
a long cast figure will turn into night
it’s like nothing in this world ever sleeps

oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
and why can’t that always be
tossing aside from your birches crown
just enough dark to see
how you’re the light over me

and by your side, girl, where the acres grow
into the strong and stunning meadow
a cowboy stumbling in the finest field
and nothing good out there won’t be old

oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
and why can’t that always be
tossing aside from your birches crown
just enough dark to see
how you’re the light over me

sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
and why can’t that always be
tossing aside from your birches crown
just enough dark to see
how you’re the light over me

Aduh suka suka sukaaaaaaaaaaa banget >.<

Enya - Orinoco Flow

Let me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow,
Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli,
Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
Let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea
Deh-dah-deh-dah-deh deh-dah-deh-dah-deh

Sail away, sail away, sail away…
Sail away, sail away, sail away…
Sail away, sail away, sail away…
Sail away, sail away, sail away…

From Bissau to Pilau - in the shade of Avalon,
From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
From Peru to Cebu, feel the power of Babylon,
From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea
Deh-dah-deh-dah-deh deh-dah-deh-dah-deh………..aaah,

Turn it up turn it up turn it up - bye, adieu
Turn it up turn it up turn it up - bye, adieu
Turn it up turn it up turn it up - bye, adieu

Sail away, sail away, sail away…
Sail away, sail away, sail away…
Sail away, sail away, sail away…
Sail away, sail away, sail away…

From the North to the South, Ebudae unto Khartoum,
From the deep Sea of Clouds to the Island of the Moon,
Carry me on the waves to the land I’ve never been,
Carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never seen
We can sail, we can sail with the Orinoco flow,
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away

We can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
We can sigh, say Goodbye Ross and his dependency
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away

We can reach, we can beach on the shores of Tripoli,
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away
From Bali to Cali, far beneath the coral sea
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away

From Bissau to Pilau, in the shade of Avalon
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away
We can reach, we can beach for beyond the Yellow Sea
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away

From Peru to Cebu, feel the power of Babylon,
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away

Sail away, sail away, sail away…
Sail away, sail away, sail away…
Sail away, sail away, sail away…
Sail away, sail away, sail away…
aah!…. 
Pertama dengerin pas ada acara di kantor. Tapi bentuknya instrumental yang pake flute (gw nebaknya sih dari flute keyboard karena suaranya statis) gituh. Gw suka aja sama instrumentalnya yang bisa terbilang jenius. Dan rasanya kepengen goyang (emang dangdut). Ya sejak saat itu instrumental lagu ini terekam sempurna di otak gw.

Dan kemaren pas gw nonton Misfits episode terakhir, ada lagu ini cuman sekilas doang. Awalnya gw ga sadar… tapi gw familiar banget sama instrumennya. Gw sampe bolak-balik scene dengan lagu itu di Misfits, dan sampe gw inget itu instrumen yang dipake buat acara transforming di kantor gw. Dan untung gw ga perlu cari lebih tau itu lagu apa, karena ternyata di subtitle-nya ada caption kalau yang diputer itu lagu Enya. Jadi lah sekarang gw berakhir dengan ber-SAIL-AWAY-SAIL-AWAY-SAIL-AWAY.

Yang tambah epic, gw cek di last.fm lagu ini untuk liat komentarnya. Dan komentar paling epic adalah… INI LAGU ADALAH SALAH SATU PLAYLIST MIKAEL BLOMKVIST DI THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO FINCHER VERSION (ETA: Anjrid, ternyata dipake di rape-scene-nya, kampret, pengen nonton #alahh)! Jadi sekarang gw berakhir dengan bergalau karena kalau pun sampe di Indonesia… udah lebih dulu ada file-nya di Torrent.

Demon Days - Gorillaz

Ya, karena selama ini kalau gw denger kata GORILLAZ, adalah band kartun yang musiknya agak-agak… ga bisa gw deskripsiin dan yang jelas gw ga nyangka ada yang agak-agak ambient gospel ginih.

Jadi gw ceritanya baca The Alchemist (yeps, gw bisa hipster pada beberapa hal, tapi kalau soal telat sama sesuatu, gw jagonya juga), dan gw mencoba untuk cari ‘suasana’. Awalnya gw baca pake sontreknya Never Let Me Go, tapi akhirnya gw cari di 8tracks dengan description The Alchemist, dan dapet satu.

Eh ga nyangka bok, PAS BANGET mix-nya! Kan jarang-jarang yah ada mix yang pas begituh karena manusia kan beda-beda interpretasinya. Dulu pas gw baca Battle Royale, dapet tuh mix-nya dari 8tracks, tapi metal ngerock ga jelas dan gw ga demen. Jadi gw baca Battle Royale sambil dengerin lagunya Alex Turner, yang mana ga nyambung, dan menjadi alasan kenapa gw ga pernah nonton Submarine sampe sekarang.

Tapi mix-nya Journey to Enlightenment ini pas banget deh. Dan yah pas aja gw dapetin lagunya Gorillaz yang ini dan gw terdiam sesaat… download (alah)… dan gw dengerin sekarang. … to the sun! katanya mah. Hahaha.

Well, untuk bukunya sendiri menurut gw bagus banget :) Cukup gw banget terutama di bagian ‘tafsir mimpi’, yes… ‘tafsir mimpi’ yah, bukan zodiak…, don’t ever give up on your dream, beberapa hal spiritual yang mungkin agak sedikit dicekal oleh para agama gw (dan gw sendiri yang berusaha menjadi Muslim sejati), tapi bagus kok. Ya sisanya mungkin sering-sering baca Al-Qur’an, melaksanakan sholat lima waktu, bertakwa kepada Allah, dan menjadikan ke Mekkah untuk naik haji adalah salah satu mimpi gw. Karena kata-kata NAIK-HAJI-nya yang harus digarisbawahi, bukan bagi yang mampunya.

Eaaa, stop sebelum gw bahas yang laen lagi.

Fading Memory - Cabaret Noir

For miles
Only
Wind and water
Sweep
Roar
And now try to look
Through the mist
And…
Strain my eyes
To see what
Is behind
A fading memory
Little old
Weary man
Walk in my mind
Fading memory
The dew
Shines upon
The lotus blossom
On the heavy grass
A child dances

Aduh gw baru dengerin dengan seksama lagu ini. Ternyata ada suara gamelannya. Mungkin si vokalisnya mencoba nyanyi a la sinden, tapi karena orang Perancis jadi nyindennya a la Perancis.

Dolphin - Alexander Rybak
Drifting along
Where am I to go
The purpose in me
Sadly I don’t know

Who’ll take my hand
I’m sailing in the sand
Nothing to enjoy
Feeling quite destroyed

But I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I’ll find my girl

No one to love
No one to lose
All by myself
This is what I choose

Lovers everywhere
Why should I even care
Will I ever change
That would sure be strange

But I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I’ll find my girl

She has the taste of silver
Cute shiny eyes of love
And untill I find that girl of mine
I have a friend above
Yes, I have a friend above

‘cause I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I’ll find my girl

She has the taste of silver
Cute shiny eyes of love
And untill I find that girl of mine
I have a friend above
I have a friend above
Yes, I have a friend above 
Gw suka bangettttttt lagu ini! Asli aransemennya sempurna dari segala sisi, dimensi, sudut, permukaan, apapun ini kesempurnaan. Gw suka lagu dengan aransemen sempurna dan jenius kayak gini. Gw ga kepikiran gimana para jenius musik mampu buat lagu dengan aransemen kayak gini. Pokoknya gw suka (!!!)
