Young At Heart
Sunday, August 12, 2007Growing up, my father always played lovely vocal music on his record player
or he would search the air waves for a radio station that would play songs
from yesteryears - songs from the time he was a teenager. One of the songs I
remember most is a song by Frank Sinatra. The lyrics didn’t really make
sense to me at that time, but when you hear the violins intro followed by
the mellow voice of Frank— you would be swept away on a romantic haze.
Young at Heart
by Frank Sinatra
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If youre young at heart
For its hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If youre young at heart
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way
Dont you know that its worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are its much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all youll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all youll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
Song: The Search is Over
Friday, August 10, 2007When I first began to enjoy music, pop and funk music was the rage but they were really not my cup of tea. I was more inclined to the sentimental songs. Although Survivor is considered more of a rock band, this song stands out in my mind. It is one of the few songs I learned by heart in my early years. I hope you enjoy the lyrics as much as I do.
The Search Is Over
by Survivor
How can I convince you, what you see is real?
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel?
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment.
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever
The search is over, you were with me all the while
Can we last forever? Will we fall apart?
At times it's so confusing, the questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever
The search is over, you were with me all the while
Now the miles stretch out behind me, loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck, it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway's leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me, show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain the man I really am
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
When I touched your hand, I could hear you whisper
The search is over, love was right before my eyes
LED Car lights
For the life of me, I simply cannot understand why Filipino drivers have
changed their warm yellow headlights for eye-searing blue-white headlights.
I can understand if they need the extra light (fog light type) when there is
a heavy downpour or the smog is so thick that they can’t see 50 yards ahead.
But on clear nights those lights can be blinding! Every night after work, I
generally go home with eye strain and a headache because of those flashing
LED lights coming from the opposite lane. And I heard that there is a LAW
that PROHIBITS use of LEDs as headlights. WTF is happening?
