Music of my life

You know I've got this theory, there are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people. You know, the lyrics people tend to be analytical. You know, all about the meaning of the song. They're the ones you see with the CD insert out like 5 minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpreting the hell out of everything. Um, then there’s the music people. Who could care less for the lyrics as long as its just got like a good beat and you could dance to it. I don’t know, sometimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyric girl. But since I’m not, let me just say this. Sometimes things find you when you need them to find you, I believe that. And for me its usually song lyrics.

Querer

Querer
Dentro del corazon
Sin pudor, sin razon
Con el fuego de la pasion

Querer
Sin mirar hacia atras
A traves de los ojos
Siempre y todavia mas

Amar
Para poder luchar
Contra el viento y volar
Descubrir la belleza del mar

Querer
Y poder compartir
Nuestra sed de vivir
El regalo que nos da el amor
Es la vida

Querer
Entre cielo y mar
Sin fuerza de gravedad
Sentimiento de libertad

Querer
Sin jamas esperar
Dar solo para dar
Siempre y todavia mas

Amar
Para poder luchar
Contra el viento y volar
Descubir la belleza del mar

Querer
Y poder compartir
Nuestra sed de vivir
El regalo que nos da el amor
Es la vida

Over me now?

You said you were over me.
You just stood there
And watched me
Falling apart
You didn't care
What it did to me
You never even
Thought twice
About breaking my heart

Didn't you get what you wanted?
Isn't she everything
You said I wasn't?

Are you over me now?
Tell me how does it feel
To be the one left without,
To lose something so real?
Now that your world's crashing down
Are you over me now?

I did what you told
Me I should do
I stopped wasting my tears
And moved on with my life
Now that you've seen me
With some one new,
That drives you crazy
Makes you hate me baby
Isn't that right?

I hope it was worth it, (I hope it was worth it)
Sorry it hurts you baby,
But you deserve it

Are you over me now?
Tell me how does it feel
To be the one left without
To lose something so real?
Now that your world's crashing down,
Are you over me now?

Now that I'm over you
Now that she's through with you
Are you over me?

Tell me how does it feel
To be the one left without
To lose something so real?
Now that your world's crashing down
Are you over me now?

Last Night!

Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison baby.
Last night I did things I'm not proud of,
and I got a little crazy.
Last night, I met a guy on the dance floor,
and I let him call me baby.

And I don't even know his last name.
My momma would be so ashamed.
It started off hey cutie where ya from,
and then it turned into oh no, what've I done and I
don't even know his last name.

We left the club 'bout around 3 o'clock in the morning.
His Pinto sittin there in the parkin lot well it should've been a warnin,
and I had no clue what i was gettin into
So I'll blame it one the Cuervo

(oh where did my manners go)

And I don't even know his last name.
My momma would be so ashamed.
It started off, hey cutie where ya from
and then it turned into oh no, what've I done and I
don't even know his last name
Here we go!

(Instumental)
mmmmmm... Today, I woke up thinkin 'bout Elvis somewhere in Vegas
I'm not sure how I got here or how this ring on my left hand just appeared outta nowhere
I gotta go, take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road
They say what happens here stays here all of this'll disappear
There's just one little problem

I don't even know my last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off hey cutie where ya from
and then it turned into oh no, what've I done and I
Don't even know my last name

What've I done
What've I done
What've I done

Oh, what've I done
I don't even know my last name

When it turned into oh no, what've I done and I
Don't even know my last name

mmmmmm
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah,yeah
ohhhhhhhhh

Change

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
'Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Oh
Everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Everybody's Changing Lyrics
Artist: Keane

I disconnect

For 27 years I’ve been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I’ve found.
Some of them got closer than others
And someone wouldn’t even bother and then you came around
I didn’t really know what to call you, you didn’t know me at all
But I was happy to explain.
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins
And I saw you
But that’s not an invitation
That’s all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect

You always seem to know where to find me and I’m still here behind you
In the corner of your eye.
I’ll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky.

Where I see you
And that’s not an invitation
That’s all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect

Well this is an invitation
It’s not a threat
If you want communication
That’s what you get
I’m talking and talking
But I don’t know
How to connect
And I hold a record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation
I need you, you want me
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect
I disconnect.


Communication Lyrics

نوستالژی قِر

......

هر دم تو ازم دوری

من از زندگی سیرم

من دوسِت دارم‌، عاشقتم‌، برات میمیرم

ای راحت جان چاره درد‌ دل ِ ما کن

با گرمی‌ِ بوسه‌ت رو لبام

درد ُ دوا کن

تو الهه نوری و من به شب اسیرم

هر دم تو ازم دوری من می‌‌خوام بمیرم*

* آهنگ طناز – با صدای شهرام شبپره

This Shirt

This shirt is old and faded
All the color's washed away
I've had it now for more damn years
Than I can count anyway
I wear it beneath my jacket
With the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it
But I'm not about to try

This shirt's got silver buttons
And a place upon the sleeve
Where I used to set my heart up
Right there anyone could see
This shirt is the one I wore to every boring high school dance
Where the boys ignored the girls
And we all pretended to like the band

This shirt was a pillow for my head
On a train through Italy
This shirt was a blanket beneath the love
We made in Argeles
This shirt was lost for three whole days
In a town near Buffalo
'Till I found the locker key
In a downtown Trailways bus depot

This shirt was the one I lent you
And when you gave it back
There was a rip inside the sleeve
Where you rolled your cigarettes
It was the place I put my heart
Now look at where you put a tear
I forgave your thoughtlessness
But not the boy who put it there

This shirt was the place your cat
Decided to give birth to five
And we stayed up all night watching
And we wept when the last one died
This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton
Shining like the memories
Inside those silver buttons

This shirt is a grand old relic
With a grand old history
I wear it now for Sunday chores
Cleaning house and raking leaves
I wear it beneath my jacket
With the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it
But I'm not about to try

بیست و نهم دی ماه هشتاد و هشت

این روزها فقط رضی الدین آرتیمانی می‌خوانم . به نظرم عجیب مهجور مانده

خدا را به جان خراباتيان
کزین تهمتِ هستيم وارهان

به ميخانة وحدتم راه ده
دل زنده و جان آگاه ده

که از کثر ت خلق تنگ آمدم
به هر سو شدم سر به سنگ آمدم

مِئی ده که چون ریزیش در سبو
برآرد سبو از دل آواز هو

از آ ن می که در دل چو منز ل کند
بدن را فروزان تر از دل کند

از آ ن می که چون عکسش افتدبه باغ
کند غنچه را گوهر شب چراغ

از آ ن می که چون عکس بر لب زند
لب شيشه تبخاله از تب زند

از آ ن می که گر شب ببيند به خواب
به شب سر زند از دلِ آفتاب

از آن می که گر عکسش افتد به جان
تواند در آن دید حق را عيان

از آن می که چون ریزیش در سبو
همه قُل هو الله آید از او

از آ ن می که در خم چو گيرد قرار
برآرد ز خود آتشی چون چنار

مئی صاف ز الودگیِّ بشر
مبدّل به خير اندر او جمله شر

مئی معنی افروز و صورت گداز
مئی گشته معجون راز و نياز

مئی از منیّ و توئی گشته پاک
شود خون فتد قطره ای گر به خاک

به یک قطره آبم ز سر در گذشت
به یک آه بيمار ما درگذشت

هیجده بهمن هشتاد و هفت

سلام

حال همه ما خوب است

ملالی نیست

جز گم شدن گاه به گاه خیالی دور

که مردم به آن شادمانی بی سبب می گویند

با این همه عمری اگر باقی بود

طوری از کنار زندگی می گذرم

که نه زانوی آهوی بی جفت بلرزد

ونه این دل ناماندگار بی درمان

تا یادم نرفته است بنویسم

حوالی خوابهای ما سال پر بارانی بود

می دانم همیشه حیات آنجا پر از هوای تازه باز نیامدن است

اما تو لاقل

حتی هر وهله

گاهی

هر از گاهی ببین که انعکاس تبسم رویا شبیه شمایل شقایق نیست

راستی خبرت بدهم

خواب دیدم خانه ای خریدم بی پرده بی پنجره بی در بی دیوار

هی بخند بی پرده بگویمت

چیزی نمانده است

من چهل ساله خواهم شد

فردا را به فال نیک خواهم گرفت

دارد همین لحظه یک فوج کبوتر سپید

از فراز کوچه ی ما می گذرد

باد بوی نامهای کسان من می دهد

یادت میاید رفته بودی

خبر از آرامش آسمان بیاوری

نریرا جان

نامه ام باید کوتاه باشد

ساده باشد

بی حرفی از ابهام و آینه

از نو برایت می نویسم حال همه ما خوب است

اما

تو باور نکن

سيد علي صالحي

مطرب مهتاب رو - قسمت دوم - شانزده مهر هشتاد و هفت

بیا تا قدر یکدیگر بدانیم

که تا ناگه ز یکدیگر نمانیم

چو مومن آیینه ی مومن یقین شد

چرا با آینه ما رو گرانیم

کریمان جان فدای دوست کردند

سگی بگذار ما هم مردمانیم

غرض ها تیره دارد دوستی را

غرض ها را چرا از دل نرانیم

گهی خوش دل شوی از من که میرم

چرا مرده پرست و خصم جانیم؟

چو بعد از مرگ خواهی آشتی کرد

همه عمر از غمت در امتحانیم

کنون پندار مُردم ، آشتی کن

که در تسلیم ما چون مردگانیم

چو بر گورم بخواهی بوسه دادن

رُخم را بوسه ده کاکنون همانیم

خمش کن مرده وار ای دل ازیرا

به هستی متهم ما زین زبانیم

crazy girls

I’ve been behind on the events of the past 7 days
I’ve been sleeping in my bed
And missing you like sometimes crazy girls do
I’ve been hanging like a child onto this photograph of us
It was taken on a bus across town the last time I saw you
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, down
Well I can’t get my self together
I’m soaking in the pain
It’s ridiculous how easy it is to go astray
When my focus ain’t right
Sometimes crazy’s all right
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, oh
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right
Well I never thought I’d say I was in love with you again
It’s funny how my life has come around to this
And I’m crazy for you I do like crazy girls do
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down…
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right, crazy’s all right

Hooked On A Feeling

I can't stop this feeling
deep inside of me
boy, you just don't realize
what you do to me
Your lips are sweet as candy
The taste is on my mind
you just keep me thirsty
for another cup of wine
When you hold me
in your arms so tight
you let me know
everything's all right
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
that you're in love with me
I've got it bad for you darling
but I don't need a cure
I'll just stay addicted
And hope I can endure
All the good love
when we're all alone
keep it up boy
yeah, you turn me on
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
When you hold me in your arms so tight
you let me know
everything's all right
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
that you're in love with me
I said I'm hooked on a feeling......


Hooked On A Feeling Lyrics
Artist(Band):Vonda Shepard

Ask the lonely

I'm feeling something!
I've dreamt about it last night!
There's this voice I can hear all the time....
The voice is crying out loud!
If I just can talk to ....!
One chance - It's all about the talk , the kiss , the hugs!
And I'm sure the moment is so close....!
Here u go , sing it with me :

Just ask the lonely
When you feel
That you can make it all alone
Remember no one is big enough
To go it all alone
Just ask the lonely
They know the hurting pain
Of losing the love
You can never regain
Just ask the lonely
The young and foolish
Who laugh at love and slowly run away
Confident and sure that fate
Will bring another love their way
But ask the lonely
How vainly a heart can yearn
For losing a love
That will never return
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
They'll tell you a story of sadness
A story too hard to believe
They'll tell you
The loneliest one is me
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
Ask me,
I'm the loneliest one you will see

Ask The Lonely Lyrics
Artist(Band):Vonda Shepard

- Don't get me wrong if I posted this lyrics , I was just listening to it , reminds me of second grade at high school , thought u might like it too!
Believe me there's nothing better in the world to have someone , who cares about u , and hugs u tight when u r alone .

Mixtape

You say hello, inside I'm screaming I love you

You say goodnight, in my mindI'm sleeping next to you

You drive away from my car crash of a heart

And I don't know

Cause you gave me the best mixtape I have

And even all the bad songs ain't so bad

I just wish there was so much more than that

About me and you

You talk to him, and it burns me like the sun

You talk to her, and you say that you feel like he's the one

I talk to me, but you can't hear the pain I feel

You don't know

چـيزی نمـی دانـم از اين ديوانـگی

وقتی گريبان عدم با دست خلقت می دريد

وقتی ابد چشم تورا پيش از ازل می آفريد

وقتی زمين ناز تو را در آسمانها می کشيد

وقتی عطش طعم تورا با اشکهايم می چشيد

من عاشق چشمت شدم نه عقل بو د و نه دلی

چـيزی نمـی دانـم از اين ديوانـگی و عـاقـلی

يک آن شد اين عاشق شدن دنيا همان يک لحظه بود

آندم که چشمانت مرا از عمق چشمانم ربود

وقتی که من عاشق شدم شيطان به نامم سجده کرد

آدم زمينی تر شد و عالم به آدم سجده کرد

مـن بودم و چشمان تـو نه آتشی و نـه گلـی

چيزی نـمی دانـم از اين ديوانگی و عاقلی

بی خبری

یاهو مسنجر تعطیل . حوصله اش رو ندارم . تو خونه ی آقای الف عینک دار کامپیوتر، فعلا دانشگاه ست . مسلما من خونه ام . خونه ی خودم . نتیجه آسونه ، اینترنت مثل مغازه های جمعه تعطیل !
چند روز بود این جا نبودم . خونه ی آقای الف عینک دار به زندگی خیلی نزدیکه . در عین حال از دنیا دوره . منم عاشق دوری از این دنیام . عینک اش بهم این امکان رو داده که دوستای خودم رو ببرم توی دنیام . بقیه برن پی کارشون . من باهاشون هیچ کاری ندارم .
برای دوستانی که در طلب دیدن من توی خونه ی جدیدم هستند توضیحات مختصری ضمیمه می کنم .
خونه ی آقای الف عینک دار
بالاتر از میدونی هست که من خیلی دوستش دارم .اصلا اون خیابون رو خیلی دوست دارم . یه کوچه ی تنگ یک طرفه با ساختمون هایی که بوی 50 سال پیش هنوز از تیرچه های چوبیشون به بینی ات می رسه ! در کوچک آهنی ، سفید – طبقه ی سوم . خونه ی خیلی کوچیکیه . خیلی ! شاید چون میز و صندلی ها رو جمع کردیم و جاش کتاب چیدیم . شاید چون توی آشپزخونه ، جا کتابی گذاشتیم . شاید چون توی دستشویی پر روزنامه و مجله ست ...نکنه که فرصت مطالعه هدر بره . آرشیو فیلم ایتالیایی هم داریم . می پسندم . تلویزیون بزرگی داریم که دلمان برای سینما تنگ نشود .
فعلا پله قدغن ! نمک قدغن ! سختی قدغن .
دکتر گفته : بی خبری .
من هم بی خبرم . از همه چیز و همه کس . دوستانی که ماندند خبر نمی آرند ... محبت بوسه می کنند .
برای دوستانی هم که رفتند و دشمنان عزیز .... من رفیق نیمه راه بودم . همیشه آن که می ماند رفیق نیمه راه است ، نه آن که می رود .
عدس پلو با دکتر شفیعی کدکنی – چای با استاد ایرج افشار و زندگی با ه . ا . سایه و شب ها با یادواره ی اخوان جان ( همانگونه که اسماعیل خویی از او یاد می کرد ) ، عکس با آن عکاس سرشناس و فیلم با آقای الف عینک دار .
این جمعه هم گذشت . خوب گذشت . با شوری و صوبا و سهز گذشت . با شیک دت میلک ام اند ام !
هر شب همین خواهد بود .
امروز یاد بازداشتگاه افتادم و روز افشای راز . یاد امان افتادم . یاد کمانچه و بهمن . یاد برنامه ی این هفته و ژوژمان دوستانه ی هفته ی آینده . یاد دفترم که هشتم آبان هزار و سیصد و هشتاد و شش تمام شد .
ساعت هشت – بیست و سه آذر سال هزار و سیصد و هشتاد و شش – جمعه
پی نوشت :
چند پیش قبل از جمعه ی پیش ، با دوستانم حرف زدیم . از اولین عشق . اولین بوسه . اولین گریه . اولین ترس . اولین اعتراف . اولین آینه . اولین هم آغوشی مضحک که به داستانی افلاطونی بدل شد . اولین شب نقره ای که کسی به یاد ما بود و ما خاکستر شدیم میان دود . اولین و آخرین هوس که دوستی را محکم کرد .

Till we aint strangers anymore

But its harder to be friends

Baby pull down the covers

Its time you let me in

Maybe light a couple candles

Ill just go ahead and lock the door

If you just talk to me baby

Till we ain't strangers anymore

Lay your head on my pillow

I sit beside you on the bed

Don't you think its time we say

Some things we haven't said

It aint too late to get back to that place

Back to where, we thought it was before

Why don't you look at me

Till we aint strangers anymore

Sometimes its hard to love me

Sometimes its hard to love you too

I know its hard believing

That love can pull us through

It would be so easy

To live your life

With one foot out the door

Just hold me baby

Till we aint strangers anymore

Its hard to find forgiveness

When we just run out of lies

Its hard to say you're sorry

When you cant tell wrong from right

It would be so easy

To spend your whole damn life

Just keeping score

So lets get down to it baby

There aint no need to lie

Tell me who you think you see

When you look into my eyes

Lets put our two hearts back together

And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor

Make love with me baby

Till we aint strangers anymore

We're not strangers anymore

We're not strangers

We're not strangers anymore

Closing time

You sit on the floor, behind the door
When you want to be all alone
You look through the window for a shining star
But when you reach for them they’re just too far
So you turn out the light and cry all night

Daylight comes, once again
With the same old sun, or the same cold rain
Got nothing to do, no one you’d rather call
You stand on the edge, but too afraid to fall
This is the part of your life that you call closing time
Your hope’s about to die and it’s closing time

Just like a flower that’s still in bloom
Everyone left you right in your room
Everyone that you loved, has sailed away
For every broken heart, there's a price to pay
You cut your phone’s wire and bury your desire
There’s a closing time for this burning fire

The night has come like the day before
You lay down in your bed and nothing more
Behind your window there are thousands stars
So you crawl back to door and sit on the floor
This is the part of your life that you call closing time
Your hope’s about to die and it’s closing time

This poem is from one of my best friends , Arash , which is one of the best poems he’s ever written , hope he can make the best music for it too!
Thanks Arash .
