iris - goo goo dolls

"iris" is the eleventh track on dizzy up the girl by the goo goo dolls, and written for the city of angels soundtrack. [punk rock]

i believe i first looked up the song after seeing an avatar with a quote from the song: "when everything feels like the movies, you bleed just to know you're alive." the lyrics appealed, so i looked it up.

i thought a good part of the lyrics applied during the few months after course selections in grade ten and i realized i was not allowed to continue band. therefore, there are strong associations to that time and feeling when i listen to the song. which is why it makes me rather masochistic to always pull it up and listen to it, especially these few days.

sick, eh?

the theme of "iris" ties into the movie it was made for, in which an angel falls in love with a mortal woman and has to decide whether or not to give up his angelic nature and become human to be with the woman. that sounds an awful lot like a story i was going to write. huh. guess i can't now.

don't know why i keep listening to this over and over again. has a tendency to make me cry.

And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
And sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of the truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.

i bring it to you - jessica andrews

"i bring it to you" is the fifth track of now by jessica andrews. [country]

i saw the cd in the library and thought her name seemed a little familiar, even if it was country, and i decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to try some country, so with both those thoughts, i took it out.

jessica andrews was born in tennessee and made her debut at 15. she learned of her passion for singing when she sang "i will always love you" in a talent show in grade four.

i am listening to the cd for the first time. there is a slight hint of country in her songs, but for the most part, a lot of it seems like pop-rock.

the beginning of "i bring it to you" reminds me very very much of "iris" by the goo goo dolls. speaking of which...ha, band... the song seems to indicate a girl giving so many parts of her life to someone... some of her songs indicate a GOD or a maker. probably the reason this song stuck out enough for me to listen to and like is because of the chording that resembles "iris". i don't usually pick up on a song on the first run through a cd.

All of these words on paper
All of these thoughts in my head
Deals I've made with the maker
The need that sleeps in my bed

All of these stones in my pocket
Daydreams I've left on the shore
The jagged half of a locket
I lay it all at your door

I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
I bring it to you

Songs I've shouted to heaven
Secrets I've kept in a box trust never given
Keys that don't fit

I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
I bring it to you

But more than anything
I bring you love, I bring you love

I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
I bring it to you

I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
I bring it to you

a thousand miles - vanessa carlton

"a thousand miles" is the third track of be not nobody and also a 2002 single by vanessa carlton. [piano pop]

vanessa carlton is a soft rock/piano pop artist. she started interest in music at a young age and has also taken ballet in her younger years. she refers to herself as being jewish.

i had previously heard of vanessa carlton but had not shown any interest until i heard "a thousand miles" played by karmiela in info tech for a sound editing project. i started liking a fair amount of carlton's songs from there. "a thousand miles" will stay an i.t. song. grace did a pretty good job of singing. i also have a piano score for this song.

the lyrics are fairly cliché in the romantic genre, but the song is catchy and sounds nice, and i like it.

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight

bu pa bu pa - guo mei mei

"bu pa bu pa" is the second single by guo mei mei. [mandarin pop/mandopop]

jocie kok is a chinese-singaporean singer, also known as jocie guo or guo mei mei (郭美美). "bu pa bu pa" is a mandarin version of "dragostea din tei" by o-zone; the words "bu pa" (不怕) mean "not afraid", and the song is about fear. that's the best i can do considering i don't read chinese, and three translations of the chinese is not enough for me to verify what the song is about aside from perhaps overcoming fear.

personally she does not sound good in this song, and i don't like it very much.

hello!看我!
你在害怕什么? ‘
是我错,
没能够啊把自己变得成熟
伤口那么多
已经不怕再痛
没地方可以再受伤了
没什么转身以后
我会练成护体神功!
看见蟑螂
我不怕不怕啦
我神经比较大
不怕不怕不怕啦
胆怯只会让自己更憔悴
麻痹也是勇敢表现
一个人睡也不怕不怕啦
勇气当棉被

please come back - michelle tumes

"please come back" is the ninth track in michelle tumes' debut album listen in 1998. [acoustic pop]

"please come back" i first heard on extreme praise on praise 106.5. the song appears to be expressed from GOD's point of view in which HE calls for a wayward child.

I can't breathe
It's agony
Wondering where you are

Picture me on my knees
Have you run too far?

Can you hear
Can you hear the sound of my heart break
With each step you take
Can you feel
Can you feel me when I say

Please come back to me
I miss you, will you come to your senses
Please come back to me
I await the day when I prepare the feast
And I embrace you running to me

All I am
All I have
Is yours to find
You hide and seek
You think you're free
But you're wasting time

I can hear
I can hear the sound of footsteps pounding
Regret resounding
I believe
I believe the hour is near

What would you give for a ransomed heart
Would it cost too much
I'm telling you now, if you run to me
You will be free

You'll be running, you'll be running back to me

caelum infinitum - michelle tumes

"caelum infinitum" is the sixth track in michelle tumes' third album, michelle tumes. [acoustic pop]

tumes is a contemporary christian musician with a soft acoustic pop style. "caelum infinitum" has an ethereal sound, very soft, and very easily brings to mind the scenes described in the song, a sense of flying over beautiful, quiet landscapes and scenery. it feels as if it could be in the soundtrack for a movie.

Under the starboard sail I glide
Floating on seas that paint the sky
Into the eternal maritime
Laden with troves of seraphic
Under the leaves of clementine
Bathed by the moon at eventide
Whispering breeze has reached my soul
Tarrying not to take my woes
Tarrying not to take my woes

Caelum Infinitum
Caelum Infinitum
Caelum Infinitum
Caelum

Like ribbons that dance in a summer fair
I'm overjoyed oh Sacred Head
You shower the roads where angels tread
The blessings of heaven seers foretold
The blessings of heaven seers foretold
