CHASING PAVEMENTS
by: Adele

I've made up my mind,
No need to think it over,
If i'm wrong I am right,
No need to look no further,
This ain't lust,
This is love but,

If i tell the world,
I'll never say enough,
Cause it was not said to you,
And thats exactly what i need to do,
If i'm in love with you,

Should i give up,
Or should i just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If i knew my place should i leave it there?
Should i give up,
Or should i just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

I'd build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Wait then as my heart drops,
and my back begins to tingle
finally could this be it

Should i give up,
Or should i just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If i knew my place should i leave it there?
Should i give up,
Or should i just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

Should i give up,
Or should i just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If i knew my place should i leave it there?
Should i give up,
Or should i just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

Lagunya bagus dan Adele kayaknya mengerah keahlian vokalnya dalam kapasitas paling baik (meskipun masih dibawah Hometown Glory) . Ini adalah salah satu lagu terbaik yang pernah gue denger. Two Thumbs for Adele!!!

Hard Week part.2

Kamis adalah hari paling mengerikan dalam sejarah ulangan gue!!! Gue udah belajar Bahasa Inggris dari jam 10 sampai jam 1 malam tapi kayaknya hasilnya nihil deh! Gimana enggak coba, soal ulangannya gak ada yang nyambung dengan yang gue pelajarin mana gue ngerjainnya sambil ngantuk, pusing, dan kegerahan. Tapi, untung temen-temen gue mau diajakin cs-an jadi ya gue Have Fun aja! Hari kamis gak juga melulu bikin gue bosen dan kesel tapi juga bikin gue seneng soalnya gue bisa memakai jaket baru yang dibeliin mama di Jakarta. Bahannya bagus dan gayanya terkesan elegan jadi enka dipakai kemana aja. Malamnya gue gak bisa konsentrasi belajar Agama sampai akhirnya pas acara Bukan Empat Mata kelar gue baru bisa belajar meskipun sambil nonton Begadang dan MTV Insomnia. Lumayan masuk sih apa yang gue pelajarin meskipun gue tidur-nya jam 4 subuh. Gue bangun jam setengah 10 pagi dan keteter sambil takut datang telat. Emang bener gue datang telat keruang ulangan, tapi, cuma telat beberapa menit doang kok! Soalnya lumayan (gak mau gue bilang enak soalnya takut termakan omongan sendiri) dan gue bisa menjawab semua soal dengan tenang meskipun ada sebagian yang kayaknya salah. Kelar ulangan bapak Ashadi (guru Bahasa Inggris dan wali kelas 9 H) datang membawa berita tak sedap, gue dan temen-temen , kecuali Ardela, Elvira, Neva , dan Shommad, pada di remedial semua buat mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris! Gue jadi kecewa, udah belajar capek- capek hasilnya malah diremedial. Tapi, gue bakal berusaha buat ulangan dan remedial di hari- hari berikutnya!
Disini gue catat kenangan manis pahit gue pas ulangan pada hari jum'at tanggal 11 Desember 2009 sambil ngedengerin The Heart of Life nya John Mayer yang memberi gue semangat baru!

Hard Week!!!

Awal minggu ini gue jalani dengan berat hati. Kenapa, ya iyalah, musim ulangan kan udah mampir lagi, jadi ya bete ... Persiapan ulangan belum ada tau-tau udah muncul aja tuh hari 'H' nya. Ulangan Bahasa Indonesia di hari senin , sih, bisa gue jabanin dengan baik,tapi, kata wali kelas gue kebanyakan nilai Bahasa Indonesia gak ada yang diatas 9, paling enggak 8 juga belum keliatan! Capek deh!!! Besoknya, selasa, ulangan paling serem dalam hidup gue menghampiri gue; Matematika!!! Persiapannya cuma sedikit banget, tapi, untungnya temen-temen pada baek dan siap cs-an sama gue, jadi, 80% jawaban gue nyontek deh 8!!!! ;p ... Rabu, ceh ilahhh, Pkn booo! Malamnya belajar cuma 2 bab itupun pakai ngantuk . Besoknya gue belajar rembukan sama temen-temen ( Priskila, Priti, Eka, Ishlah, Eno, Neva, Hanny, dkk....) di bawah pohon bulan (katanya sih namanya pohon bulan tau deh nama latinnya apa!) dan diatas meja bulat lingkar ,beton juga tuh mejanya! Beberapa lama kami belajar Bu Isniah ( guru paling dicinta di kelas 9 H) datang dan ngebantuin kami belajar, meski sebentar tapi itu membantu banget (Thanks ya Bu...) !!! Berselang beberapa menit kemudian Hanny datang membawa berita bahagia , dia dapat kunci jawaban dari semua soal Pkn. Semuanya jadi pada ribut dan minta dikasih, ya dikasih deh. Saat bel tanda dimulainya ulangan berbunyi semua pada gugup (termasuk gue tuh) , jawaban yang dikasih Hanny salah semua, pengawasnya Bapak Cinta Laura ( dikatain gitu karena suka ngomong bahasa Inggris mkayak Cinta Laura, nama aslinya tau deh siapa) , mesti lengah tapi matanyta bisa mendelik tibna-tiba loh!!! Selama menjawab soal gak ada gangguan yang berarti gue menjawab soal dengan tenang meskipun ada beberapa kesulitan. Ditengah kesulitan tersebut Dewi Penolong a.ka Hanny nge-sms gue dan ngirimin jawabannya ke gue, duh, thanks berat yeee... Selesai menjawab semua soal gue jadi orang ketiga yang paling cepat keluar dari ruang ulangan...

Duh, gue khawatir nih sama ulangan besok-besok, susah udah pasti, tapi kitanya aja lagi yang mesti berusaha buat ngeraih nilai tertinggi. Disini gue catat ingatan gue hari rabu tanggal 9 Desember 2009 sambil ngedengerin lagu The Heart of Life nya John Mayer ( lagu paling menenangkan kalau disaat jenuh seperti ini...) .

HOMETOWN GLORY

by: Adele

I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I could call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam. I ain't lost, just wandering"

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

Gue lebih ngejagoin lagu ini buat memenangin Grammy Award 2010 lewat kategori Best Female Pop Vocal Performance daripada Taylor Swift lewat 'You Belong With Me' dan Beyonce lewat 'Halo' , soalnya lagu ini seakan memiliki sesuatu yang 'lebih' dibanding dua lagu diatas. So, lho pasti menang Adele!!!

John Mayer's Lyric Song from Continuum Album

WAITING ON THE WORLD TO CHANGE

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want

That's why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

I DON'T TRUST MYSELF ( WITH LOVING YOU)

No I'm not the man I used to be lately
See you met me at an interesting time
If my past is any sign of your future
You should be warned before I let you inside

Hold on to whatever you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with loving you

I will beg my way into your garden
I will break my way out when it rains
Just to get back to the place where I started
So I can want you back all over again

Hold on to whatever you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with loving you

Who do you love?
Girl I see through, through your love
Who do you love me or the thought of me? me or the thought of me?

Hold on to whatever you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with loving you

Hold on to whatever you find baby
Hold on to whatever gets you through through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with loving you
I don't trust myself with loving you
I don't trust myself with loving you
I don't trust myself with loving you

BELIEF

Is there anyone who
Ever remembers changing there mind from
The paint on a sign?
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time

Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they're not going easily

Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching under water
You never can hit who you're trying for

Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It's the chemical weapon
For the war that's raging on inside

Everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Everyone believes
And no ones going quietly

We're never gonna win the world
We're never gonna stop the war
We're never gonna beat this
If belief is what we're fighting for

What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand
Belief can
Belief can
What puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand
Belief can
Belief can

GRAVITY

Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away

Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
[repeat]

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
And gravity has taken better men than me (now how can that be?)

Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
Oh... where the light is! [repeat]

THE HEART OF LIFE

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

(Whistle Interlude)

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good

I know it's good

VULTURES

Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
Cause they've never gone this long
Without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made, by power being taken
So I keep on running
To protect my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me

Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it

STOP THIS TRAIN


No I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind but...
I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly won't someone stop this train

Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't but honestly won't someone stop this train

So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68, you'll renegotiate
Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
Don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train

See once in a while when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
'til you cry when you're driving away in the dark.

Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take this speed it's moving in
I know I can't
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train

(think I got 'em now)

SLOW DANCING IN A BURNING ROOM

It's not a silly little moment,
It's not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on.

Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody's gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

I'll make the most of all the sadness,
You'll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room.

Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?

BOLD AS LOVE

Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on

But they're all bold as love
Yeah, they're all bold as love
They're all bold as love
Just ask the axis

My red is so confident that he flashes
Trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go around
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

I'm bold, bold as love
Yeah I'm bold, bold as love
I'm bold, bold as love
Just ask the axis
Yeah he knows, he knows everything
I'm bold, bold as love

IN REPAIR

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new look upon me
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

And now i'm walking in a park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unready
Oh i'm never really ready, i'm never really ready
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there

I'M GONNA FIND ANOTHER YOU

It's really over, you made your stand
You got me crying, as was your plan
But when my loneliness is through, I'm gonna find another you

You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons but you will never have my rhymes
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you

When I was your lover
No one else would do
If I'm forced to find another, I hope she looks like you
Yeah and she's nicer too

So go on baby
Make your little get away
My pride will keep me company
And you just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me and once for someone new
I'm gonna do somethings you wouldn't let me do
Oh I'm gonna find another you
