I Finally Found Someone

I Finally Found Someone

by Bryan Adams & Barbra Streissand





Lyrics to sing along with :)

[Bryan:]
I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete
[Barbra:]
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin
[Bryan:]
This time it's different,

[Barbra:]
Dah dah dah dah

[Bryan:]
It's all because of you,

[Barbra:]
Dah dah dah dah

[Bryan:]
It's better than it's ever been

[Both:]
'Cause we can talk it through

[Barbra:]
Oohh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say

[Both:]
To take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night

[Barbra:]
'Cause whatever I do,

[Bryan:]
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,

[Barbra:]
Ooh, someone

[Bryan:]
I finally found someone,

[Barbra:]
Oooh...

[Bryan:]
Did I keep you waiting,

[Barbra:]
I didn't mind

[Bryan:]
I apologize,

[Barbra:]
Baby, that's fine

[Bryan:]
I would wait forever

[Both:]
Just to know you were mine

[Bryan:]
You know I love your hair,

[Barbra:]
Are you sure it looks right?

[Bryan:]
I love what you wear,

[Barbra:]
Isn't it too tight?

[Bryan:]
You're exceptional,

[Both:]
I can't wait for the rest of my life...
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night

[Barbra:]
'Cause whatever I do,

[Bryan:]
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,

[Barbra:]
Whatever I do,

[Bryan:]
It's just got to be you

[Both:]
My life has just begun
I finally found someone...

Dreaming of the stars on high
That speak to me in secret sighs
Drifting on a breeze only I can feel and hear

Could it be the sacred wind
It's calling me to now begin
To walk into the dark carrying the light of tomorrow

Beating are the wings up high
Beyond the earth, beyond the sky
Come now, don't hesitate
Don't look back, we've got to go now

Don't fear
You'll be safe from now on
Morning sky watching over the world

Deep inside so silent
Here my heart must beat
Deep inside of me
Memories flickering and shimmering on endlessly

Keeping close to the path
Morning sky watching over the world

Moving over endless mountains oh so high
Walking to the light
Your heart will see the path and you will find the way
Just wait and see

Moving over endless sky oh so high
Tomorrow will follow
When above, your promise is today
Just wait and see

You're Everything

A cool new song by Michael Buble :)





And here's the lyrics to sing along with :)

You're a falling star
You're the get away car
You're the line in the sand when I go too far
You're the swimming pool, on an August day
And You're the perfect thing to say

And you play your card, but it's kinda cute
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true
Cause you can see it when I look at you

Chorus:
And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It's you, it's you
You make me sing
You're every line
You're every word
You're everything

You're a carousel
You're a wishing well
And you light me up
When you ring my bell
You're a mystery
You're from outer space
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, that I'm your man
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can
Whatever comes our way, we'll see it through
And you know that's what our love can do

Chorus:
And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It's you, it's you
You make me sing
You're every line
You're every word
You're everything

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

Chorus:
And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It's you, it's you
You make me sing
You're every line
You're every word
You're everything
You're every song
And I sing along
Cause you're my everything

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

Piano Squall

Stumble into this website one fine day. Discover that it is quite cool. That is if you're interested in piano and games/anime OST.

This guy, by the nickname Piano Squall, is an "Anime and Game Pianist". Yes, Squall as in THE Squall Leonhart from FF VIII. And yes, this guy apparently wears Squall's costume while he plays the piano (wondering, if that can actually boost up his piano skills).




http://www.pianosquall.com



* Note: Check out his website and watch him play in the video section. There are also piano song sheets of anime/game OST so you can try your fingers on.

But, ponder of all ponders, why Squall? After much ponder, the little mouse thought of a few “good” candidates (*ahem* tips for those who would want to imitate Piano Squall).

• Sephiroth - Evil and mean looking. Focus on playing only battle and gory songs


• Cloud Strife - hmm… Cloud playing the piano, I like that!


• Tidus - Bare chest + bermuda pants + grand piano ?!?!?


• Mog - Its fingers are too fat for the piano keys… And does it have five fingers in the first place??


• Vincent Valentine – Ohh, sexy. But can only play with his right hand (unless he drop his “claws” on his left hand)


• Zidane – cute :)


• Chocobo – err... hmm... arr... Oversized chicken playing piano... no comment
  

Final Fantasy Masterpieces

Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra should organise a performance playing solely on Final Fantasy masterpieces. And of course, mainly on FFVII soundtrack. The series have one of the best composition the little mouse had ever heard! Ok, let me rephrase. The BEST the little mouse had ever heard (and yes, she's being very very bias).

Here's one of the OST, the ever so famous FFVII Prelude.


The original (as heard in the game)


As performed in the VOICES concert


As played by someone on the piano



And...

One-Winged Angel with a rock twist as performed in the VOICES concert.

The Magic Flute

Mozart overdosed! The little mouse and her chipmunk friend is truly, really going to indulgence with Mozart. Lotsa lotsa Mozart this season!

Mozart Indulgence

The little mouse finally has decided to abandon Beethoven for Mozart. Yes, the gentle looking Mozart beats the agonized, lion-haired Beethoven in winning her mousie heart! On top of that, actually, the little mouse could not get the Beethoven tickets. Still, the little mouse prefers Mozart’s piano sonatas.

Ladies, which do you prefer?
Neat hair guy?	Messy hair guy?

Beethoven Concerto

After missing Beethoven piano concerto, the little mouse insist and persist on going to watch Beethoven violion concerto, though she does prefer piano more.





Some enlightenment from dear Mr. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven (baptized December 17, 1770[1] – March 26, 1827) was a German composer. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of music, and was the predominant figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music. His reputation and genius have inspired — and in many cases intimidated — ensuing generations of composers, musicians, and audiences. While primarily known today as a composer, he was also a celebrated virtuoso pianist and conductor, and an accomplished violinist.

Born in Bonn, Germany, he moved to Vienna, Austria, in his early twenties, and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. In his late twenties he began to lose his hearing gradually, and yet he continued to produce notable masterpieces throughout his life, even when his deafness was almost total. Beethoven was one of the first composers who worked as a freelance — arranging subscription concerts, selling his compositions to publishers, and gaining financial support from a number of wealthy patrons — rather than being permanently employed by the church or by an aristocratic court.

Quando Quando Quando

Yes, the little mouse finally heard her all time favourite swing performed live at Alexis. Most yummiest tiramisu cake ever too :)

Quando, Quando, Quando
(originally a pop song by Engelbert Humperdinck. Also sang by Michael Buble's, with a jazzy twist :D )

Tell me when will you be mine
Tell me quando quando quando
We can share a love divine
Please don't make me wait again

When will you say yes to me
Tell me quando quando quando
You mean happiness to me
Oh my lover tell me when

Chorus:
Every moments a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare

I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando quando quando
Say its me that you adore
And then darling tell me when

Chorus:
Every moments a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare

I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando quando quando
Say its me that you adore
And then darling tell me when

Amazing Grace

Little mouse's worship for tonight :) The good ol' Amazing Grace.

(By John Newton)

G C G
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
D
That saved a wretch like me!
G C G
I once was lost, but now am found,
Em D G
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
We have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

When we've been here ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

Do You Know Where You're Going To?

A gift from a colleague, Ah Lun. Thanks :) I appreciate it very much.

Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To?) Lyrics

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds
You knew how I loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughin' at the questions
That you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?

Christmas isn't Christmas

The little mouse would love to share something dear to her...



Chorus:
Christmas isn't Christmas
'Til it happens in your heart.
Somewhere deep inside you
Is where Christmas really starts.

So give your heart to Jesus
You'll discover when you do
That it's Christmas,
Really Christmas for you.

Verse:
Jesus brings you warmth like a winter fire
A light like a candle's glow.
He's waiting now to come inside
As he did so long ago.

Jesus brings gifts of truth and light
And makes them bloom and grow.
So welcome Him with a song of joy
And when He comes, you'll know...

Chorus:
That Christmas isn't Christmas
'Til it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you
Is where Christmas really starts.

So give your heart to Jesus.
You'll discover when you do
That it's Christmas, really Christmas
Christmas, really Christmas
Christmas, really Christmas for you.
