Empty by Click Five

2009-05-09T06:30:00.000-07:00

Tried to take a picture of love
Didn't think I'd miss her that much
I wanna fill this new frame
But it's empty

Tried to write a letter in ink
It's been getting better I think
I got a piece of paper
But it's empty It's empty

Maybe we're trying,trying too hard
Maybe we're torn apart
Maybe the timing is
beating our hearts
We're empty

And I even wonder if we
Should be getting under these sheets
We could lie in this bed
But it's empty
It's empty

Maybe we're trying, trying too hard
Maybe we're torn apart
Maybe the timing is
beating our hearts
We're empty

Maybe we're trying, trying too hard
Maybe we're torn apart
Maybe the timing is
beating our hearts
We're empty
We're empty
We're empty

Like a Knife by Secondhand Serenade Cover by Caerberu

2009-04-10T06:37:00.000-07:00

Planning to do a cover of this soon.

"Like A Knife"

I dream a lot, I know you say
I've got to get away.
"The world is not yours for the taking"
Is all you ever say.
I know I'm not the best for you,
But promise that you'll stay.
Cause if I watch you go,
You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away

Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
These streets are filled with memories
Both perfect and in pain
And all I wanna do is love you
But I'm the only one to blame.

Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

But what do I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
And these words they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember

Stay with me,
Or watch me bleed,
I need you just to breathe.

Cause today, you walked out of my life
(Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe.)
I'm not living this life

Some people will do anything for you
Some people live and think that they own you too
Some people like to think by now at all
Some people just dont see it when they fall
*Tell me why, tell me why
Theres no sun in your sky
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no love in your eyes
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no sun in your sky
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no love in your eyes
Sometimes i want to scream and shout at you
Sometimes i want to sing my joy to you
Sometimes i wanna leave it all behind
Sometimes i dont know where to start at all

Repeat * till fade

Beauty and Madness - Fra Lippo Lippi Cover

2009-03-04T10:24:00.000-08:00

coming soon

over there, just beneath the moon
there's a man with a burden to keep.
now sleep will fall washout rags n' paper bags.
homes and lives passing by.

who will see the beauty in your life?
and who will be there to hear you when you call?
who will see the madness in your life?
and who will be there to catch you if you fall?

now dreams run wild, as lovers find their way
through the night, not a care in the world.
and over there, over the twinkling of the lights
harbor lights, say goodnight one more time.

who will see the beauty in you life?
and who will be there to hear you when you call?
who will see the madness in your life?
and who will be there to catch you if you fall?

Itchy Worms - Akin Ka Na Lamang

Cover coming soon

Lyrics

'wag kang maniwala d'yan. 'di ka n'ya mahal talaga
Sayang lang ang buhay mo kung mapupunta ka lang sa kanya
Iiwanan ka lang n'yan, mag-ingat ka
Dagdag ka lamang sa milyun-milyong babae n'ya

Akin ka na lang (akin ka na lang)
Iingatan ko ang puso mo
Akin ka na lang (akin ka na lang)
Wala nang hihigit pa sa 'yo

'di naman ako bolero katulad ng ibang tao
Ang totoo'y pag nandyan ka medyo nabubulol pa nga ako
Malangis lang ang dila n'yan, 'wag kang madala
Dahan-dahan ka lang, baka pati ika'y mabiktima
('wag naman sana)

Akin ka na lang (akin ka na lang)
Iingatan ko ang puso mo
Akin ka na lang (akin ka na lang)
Wala nang hihigit pa sa 'yo

'di naman sa sinisiraan ko ang pangit na 'yan
'wag ka dapat sa'kin magduda
Hinding-hindi kita pababayaan!

Akin ka na lang (akin ka na lang)
Iingatan ko ang puso mo
Akin ka na lang (akin ka na lang)
Wala nang hihigit pa sa 'yo

Akin ka na lang
Liligaya ka sa pag-ibig ko
Akin ka na lang
wala nang hihigit pa sa 'yo
Wala nang hihigit pa sa 'yo
(akin ka na lang)

Boys Like Girls | Hero / Heroine

2009-03-02T10:28:00.003-08:00

Lyrics to Hero / Heroine :
It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do
When I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hold of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can get in line
But not this time

Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And it's so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie

You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

Face Down
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Cover by Caerberu (planning to do this sometime soon)

Lyrics

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy.
One look put\'s the rhythm in my hand.
Still I\'ll never understand why you hang around
I see what\'s going down.
Cover-up with make-up in the mirror
Tell yourself it\'s never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Chorus:

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I\'ll tell you my friend one day this world\'s going to end
As your lies crumble down a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what\'s going down.
I see the way you go and say you\'re right again,
say you\'re right again,
heed my lecture

Chorus:

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I\'ll tell you my friend one day this worlds going to end
As your lies crumble down a new life she has found.

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
its coming round again.

Chorus:
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I\'ll tell you my friend one day this worlds going to end
As your lies crumble down a new life she has found.

Pasensya Na
Cueshe

Cover by Caerberu (planning to do this sometime when i have free time)

Mga mata mo’y nakakaakit
Ng ‘di sinasadya
Ngiti mo’y nagbibigay sigla
Ng ‘di mo alam
Maamo mong mukha pag nakikita
Ako ay natutulala
‘Di ko alam ano’ng gagawin
Kaya pasens’ya na
Kung may pagtingin ako sa iyo
‘Di mapigilan bulong ng damdamin
Isisigaw ko para mapansin mo
Pansinin mo naman ako

Galaw mo’y aking sinusundan
‘Wag ka sanang mawala
Nang ikaw ay lumapit
Pinagpapawisan sa sobrang kaba
Pilit kang mahawakan
Pero ‘di ko kaya
Sa iyo’y nahihiya
‘Di ko alam ano’ng sasabihin
Kaya pasens’ya na
Kung may pagtingin ako sa iyo
‘Di mapigilan bulong ng damdamin
Isisigaw ko para mapansin mo
Pansinin mo naman ako
Kaya pasens’ya na
Kung may pagtingin ako sa iyo
‘Di mapigilan bulong ng damdamin
Isisigaw ko para mapansin mo
Kaya pasens’ya na
Kung may pagtingin ako sa iyo
‘Di mapigilan bulong ng damdamin
Isisigaw ko para mapansin mo
Pansinin mo naman ako

FM Static - Tonight

2009-01-28T23:35:00.000-08:00

(Will do a cover of this one soon)

I remember the times we spent together
All those drives, we had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York everything felt right
I wish you were here with me,
Tonight

I remember the days we spent together,
were not enough, it used to feel like dreaming
Except we always woke up,
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late

I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus, and how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad, sometimes
Not having you here

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I say
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

Chris Daughtry | Over You

2009-01-20T09:52:00.000-08:00

Planning to do a cover of this one... just posting it here so I won't forget.

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Lips of an Angel by Hinder (Cover by Caerberu)

Planning to do a cover of this song. Coming very soon~

Lips Of An Angel lyrics

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?

2009-01-08T00:21:00.000-08:00

Thinking of doing this cover once I get my guitar back! Coming soon~

Watch out for the cover video~~~

Lyrics:
Today is a winding road
Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa
Today in the blink of an eye
Im holding on to something and I do not know why I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation; what Im feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I dont know, whoa
Today Im on my own
I cant move a muscle and I cant pick up the phone, I dont know

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Yeah Im walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think Ill make it out but you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road
Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

Typecast | Infatuation is Always There Cover by Caerberu

2008-10-30T06:19:00.000-07:00

Here's my take of Infatuation is Always There by typecast. My guitar is on standard tuning. It's really hard to be comfortable with the normal vocal pitch for this song, but I did my best, hahaha. Hope you like it.

Lyrics:
i understand what you're trying to say no need to say it i am leaving
but don't walk away just stay right there i'll fall.
and i'll just look at you

i'll just look at you

i don't know why i always feel like this
it's hard to breathe when you're around
your big brown eyes are drowning me to sleep
the space is tearing me i'll stay,
please stay

words are not important smiles are all i need from you
the yearning, it's getting stronger im dumb.
i hope you like me too

you're two tables away you could see me mezmerised
i want to talk to you but im so scared
before i never cared, infatuation's never there
but now it's killing me i really hate myself

Making April | Chase You Down Cover by Caerberu

2008-10-30T06:12:00.000-07:00

Here's my take of Chase You Down by Making April. Hope you like it!

Lyrics
It feels like summer is on it’s way
But it’s mid November
I’ll hang this dream up on display
But I wont remember anything at all
And you haven’t told me anything at all
But you know I’ll chase you down
Complacency is lost for now
But I’ll never doubt you
‘Cause all I do is wonder how
I could be without you anywhere at all
And I’d run to find you anywhere at all
But don’t you run too far away
I’m racing time for you
You know I need this now
‘Cause I’ve been burning all my aspirations down
But I’ve been feeling closer day by day
You know I’ll chase you down
It feels like summer is on it’s way
Will it ever get here
These sheltered hearts can’t make me stay
No I wont forget we’re everything I know
And I hope you take this everything I know
And you make it worth this ride to me

Typecast - Phoenix Cover by Caerberu Video

2008-10-30T05:59:00.000-07:00

This is from Typecast. I'm using a capo on the sixth fret without changing the chords so I could sing comfortably--the original vocals is just way out of my comfortable range. Hope you like my take of it!

Lyrics
I'll rise above the clouds
Your voice kept me alive
I'll spread my wings and fly
I've returned for you again my love
I've kept all that i've gained
Your smile and how your eyes shine
Am i strong enough to be with you again?
If im not, i'll stretch my arms to hold you. ..
Im ready
Hold me tight once more
And slowly
We'll pick up the pieces we lost
The battles i fought
Unruly but won gloriously
Im your lord knight, i've gained so much
But still i need you here

Maybe by Secondhand Serenade

2008-09-26T20:20:00.000-07:00

Cover by the Blue Hat Beru

This is a great song from Secondhand Serenade. You can use the same chords on a standard tuned guitar. I only used the capo to get a pitch I'm more comfortable with.

Lyrics
A great song from Secondhand Serenade.

(Note: You can use the chords I use and ignore the capo. I only moved it so far into the higher frets to set the pitch to something I'm more comfortable with.)

Lyrics
Didn't you want to hear
the sound of all the places we could go
Do you fear
the expressions on the faces we don't know
It's a cold hard road when you wake up
and I don't think that I
Have the strength to let you go

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

There goes my ring
It might as well have been shattered
and I'm here to sing
about the things that mattered
about the things that made us feel alive for oh so long
about the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

And someday, I promise I'll be gone
And someday, I might even sing this song
To you, I might even sing this song, to you
and I was crying alone tonight
and I was wasting all of my life just thinking of you
So just come back we'll make it better
So Just come back I'll make it
better than it ever was x2

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
( I want it all, Don't leave right now)

Cover - Worth Fighting For by Ninedays

2008-08-20T09:16:00.000-07:00

played by Caerberu
Notes from Caerberu: Ninedays is one of my favorite bands. Here's a song from their latest album Slow Motion Life.

Lyrics

Summer burns June to July,
And we undress and take the dive,
No one holds the hands that hold themselves,
Remember who we are today,
When sunburned souvenirs have faded
And we collect the moments on a shelf,

And its all right if you feel like crying,
but i won't leave you alone,
"Cause nothing in this world worth fighting for is easy,
I thought you should know...

Winter stirs the stars to life,
And we still burn from autumn fires,
Laughing even in our discontent,
And on until the lion fades,
And April wears a brand new face,
Own the moments, life is not for rent

And its all right if you feel like crying,
but i won't leave you alone,
"Cause nothing in this world worth fighting for is easy,
I thought you should know...

Finish what you say, don't throw it all away,
There is no way i can save us both anymore,
Still i'm on my way [a hero saves the day]
So open up yours eyes and open up your door,
You're worth fighting for...

It's alright if you can't stop smiling,
Cause i know just how you feel,
You're the one thing in this world worth fighting for,
I need you now more than you know...

Remember who we are today,
In 20 years when the pictures fade,
'Cause you can't rest a good life on the shelf.

Cover - Half Alive - Secondhand Serenade

2008-06-22T08:25:00.000-07:00

played by Blue Hat Beru

Notes from Blue Hat Beru: One of Secondhand Serenade's good ones. I did this with a capo on the second fret so I could raise my normal voice a bit, so I'm singing this a whole octave lower than the original song. This is also the first time I'm using Cool Edit Pro to record this, as usually I use Nero Wave Editor. There's some noise on the background because my family's watching the news, so I might do this again another time.

(Please wait for the IMEEM to load. It should play automatically after 10-20 seconds.)

Lyrics

It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own
I don't know if I'm home
Or if I lost the way into your room
I'm spiraling into my doom
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day
You and I will be free,

To live and die by our own rules,
Free..
Despite the fact that men are fools.

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It's okay that we're dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

Well excuse me while I get killed softly,
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay
At least 'til yesterday,
You know you got me off my highest guard,
Believe me when I say it's hard.
We'll get through this tonight
And I know one day you and I will be free

To live and die by our own rules,
Free..
Despite the fact that men are fools.

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It's okay that we're dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

And you touch my hand ever so slightly
(Girl we're not ready for this yet)
And the deadly look she cast upon me
I won't regret, I won't regret
I won't regret. I won't regret...

And I was trying to disappear,
But you got me wrapped around you
I can hardly breathe without you
I was trying to disappear
But I got lost in your eyes now,
You brought me down to size now.

I'm almost alive
And I need you to try and save me.
It's okay that we're dying
But I need to survive tonight, tonight
Tonight...

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It's okay that we're dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.
I need to survive tonight, tonight

Lyrics

It's hard to wake up
When the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted
It's so pathetic
It makes no sense at all.
I'm ripe with things to say
The words rot and fall away.
If a stupid poem could fix this home
I'd read it every day.

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost.
It's not right

Their anger hurts my ears
Been running strong for seven years
Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them
It makes no sense at all
I see them every day
We get along so why can't they?
If this is what he wants and this is what
she wants
Then why is there so much pain?

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost
It's not right

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost
It's not right

Lyrics

Splintered piece of glass falls, in the seat, gets caught
These broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost
In trying so hard to look away from you
we followed white lines to the sunset
I crash my car everyday the same way

Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins.
(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twilight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done

I don't want to feel this way forever
A dead letter marked return to sender

The broken watch you gave me turns into a compass
It's two hands still point to the same time 12:03, our last goodbye

So push the seats back a little further
I can see the headlights coming
So push the seats back a little further
Roll the windows down and take a breath
I can see the headlights coming
They paint the world in red and broken glass

Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins.
(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twilight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done

I don't want to feel this way forever
A dead letter marked return to sender

The spinning hubcaps set the tempo, for the music of the broken window
The Cameras on and the cameras click
We open up the lens and can't stop

Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twilight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done

I don't want to feel this way forever

The lights are on and the cameras click
We open up the lens (to broken glass!)

Staring at the setting sun (And it's over!)
No reason to come back again (In a flash!)
The twilight world in blue and white (and I'll never!)
The needle and the damage done (ever understand!)

I don't want to feel this way forever (Understanding!)
(In a Car Crash!) A dead letter marked return to sender (In a Car Crash!)
(In a Crash!) In a Crash!

Notes from Blue Hat Beru: This band is quite new to me. I'm playing this song and dedicating it for someone very important to me.

Lyrics

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Your Guardian Angel
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
[to fade]

Lyrics

Pardon me while I burst...

A decade ago,
I never thought I would be,
at twenty-three, on the verge of
spontaneous combustion. -Woe-is-me.-
But I guess that it comes
with the territory,
An ominous landscape of
never-ending calamity.
I need you to hear,
I need you to see
that I have had all I can take and
exploding seems like a DEFINITE possibility
to me.

So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

Not two days ago,
I was having a look
in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy
fried up above his knee.
I said, "I can relate,"
cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcome vacation from
the burdens of
the planet Earth.
like gravity, hypocrisy,
and the perils of being in 3-D...
but thinking so much differently.

Pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

Never be the same, yeah...
Pardon me, while I burst into flames...
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.

So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

Never be the same, yeahh!!

Lyrics

verse:
you're the one that never lets me sleep
to my mind, down to my soul you touch my lips
you're the one that i can't wait to see
with you here by my side i'm in ecstasy

pre-chorus:
i am all alone without you
my days are dark without a glimpse of you
but now that you came into my life
i feel complete
the flowers bloom, my morning shines
and i can see

chorus:
your love is like the sun
that lights up my whole world
i feel the warmth inside
your love is like the river
that flows down through my veins
i feel the chill inside

verse:
every time i hear our music play
reminds me of the things that we've been through
in my mind i can't believe it's true
but in my heart the reality is you

repeat pre-chorus and chorus

Lyrics

I
Better than watching Gellar bending silver spoons
Better than witnessing newborn nebulaes in bloom
She who sees from up high smiles and surely sings
Perspective pries your once weighty eyes and it gives you wings

Refrain
I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels
Like a waking limb, pins and needles, nice to know you

Chorus
Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you

II
Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go
And higher than the heights of what we often think we know
Blessed is she who clearly sees the wood for the trees
To obtain a birds eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze

Refrain
I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels
Like a waking limb, pins and needles, nice to know you

Chorus
Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you

Bridge
So could it be that it has been there all along?

Cover | Higher by Creed

2008-05-03T19:28:00.000-07:00

played by Blue Hat Beru

Notes from Blue Hat Beru: I first heard this song in class in second year high school when Ms. Chiongson, our English teacher, played it on the stereo and let us critique the song lyrics. Ever since then, I've loved listening to Creed and have been following their albums. I think this song is supposed to be played on two guitars (one rhythm and one lead), but I tried adapting it for one person. It's a bit harder to play that way so it may sound rough in certain areas of the song, but I hope you'll like this.

Lyrics

I
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake

Refrain
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?

Chorus
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets

II
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?

Chorus
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets

Refrain
So lets go there, lets go there,
Come on, lets go there
Let's ask can we stay?

Bridge
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine

Chorus
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets

Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets

Lyrics:

Stanza 1
uso pa ba ang harana
marahil ikaw ay nagtataka
sino ba 'tong mukhang gago
nagkandarapa sa pagkanta
at nasisintonado sa kaba
may'ron pang dalang mga rosas
suot na may maong na kupas
at nariyan pa ang barkada
naka porma, naka barong
sa awiting daig pa ang minus-one
at sing-along

chorus
puno ang langit ng bituin
at kay lamig pa ng hangin
sa 'yong tingin ako'y nababaliw, giliw
at sa awitin kong ito
sana'y maibigan mo
ibubuhos ko ang buong puso ko
sa isang munting harana
para sa'yo

Stanza 2
di ba parang isang sine
isang pelikulang romantiko
hindi ba't ikaw ang bidang artista
at ako ang 'yong leading man
sa istoryang nagwawakas
sa pag-ibig na wagas

chorus
puno ang langit ng bituin
at kay lamig pa ng hangin
sa 'yong tingin ako'y nababaliw, giliw
at sa awitin kong ito
sana'y maibigan mo
ibubuhos ko ang buong puso ko
sa isang munting harana
para sa 'yo

Cover - Your Call by Secondhand Serenade

2008-04-05T22:32:00.000-07:00

performed by Caer'beru

Notes from Blue Hat Beru: I really like this song, but only the version where there were three voices on the second stanza. So here is my take on it. I know this is nothing compared to the real version, as I find the person behind Secondhand Serenade's vocal range is pretty straining. But what the hell, it's actually fun to do! haha. And Secondhand Serenade is made by only one person anyway, so I decided to do sort of the same thing, mixing my own second voice in it. lol. Anyway, hope you like my take on this great song by a good band--one man band that is.

Lyrics

I
Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry
Call I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
(Like when we would meet)

Chorus
Cause I was born (BlueHat:Darn, I get out-of-breath on this part, haha) to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

II
Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take.
While you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy?
(What's yours? What's yours, What is yours)

Chorus
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Bridge
And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
X4
( I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

Chorus
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Cause
I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
( I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)
