Emiliana Torrini is one of the few artists I admire listening to nowadays. The following is one of my favorite songs in my lifelessness (I uploaded some of her songs for you to check out here)

Heartstopper

You said I began
This messy state of love affair
And I drink too much and smoke too fast
And this city’s cleared my innocence

Coffee is pouring out my ears
It’s the only thing they have in here
And my heart stops beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Number tree still on my plate
I heard the trains are running late
And I laugh out loud
My life is a mess
I have gone too far
In my lifelessness

Another coffee it’s on the house
The poor girl look is on the owners spouse
And my heart stopped beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Outside your house
To make a scene
In my head you grabbed me passionately
But the lights are out
And in an hour I walked on home
In the pouring shower
Lost my keys in front of me
My neighbor’s smile he’s handing me
The blackest coffee you will ever see

And my hearts stopped beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Well its unusual for guys to love her, but i do, been downloading some video clips for her best songs, she really sings from the heart and has a lovely voice, you can feel how much she suffered in her life, even though i havent read much about her love life heh ..

Anyway, been listening to my 2 favorite songs for days now ..

It must have been love

Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground. I wake up lonely, theres air of silence in the bedroom and all around. touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but its over now. it must have been good but I lost it somehow. it must have been love but its over now. from the moment we touched til the time had run out.

Make-believing were together, that Im sheltered by your heart. but in and outside Ive turned to water like a teardrop in your palm. and its a hard winters day, I dream away.

It must have been love but its over now, it was all that I wanted, now Im living without. it must have been love but its over now, its where the water flows, its where the wind blows.

Spending my Time

What’s the time?
Seems its already morning
I see the sky, its so beautiful and blue
The TV’s on
But the only thing showing is a picture of you

Oh, I get up and make myself some coffee
I try to read a bit but the story’s too thin
Then I thank the Lord above
That you’re not there to see me
In this shape I’m in

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you think of me too
I’m spending my time

I try to call but I don’t know what to tell you
I leave a kiss on your answering machine
Oh, help me please
Is there someone who can make me
Wake up from this dream?

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you are missing me too

I’m spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of “tears of a clown”
A prayer gone blind

I’m spending my time

My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on
Time will make sure will get over you
This silly game of love you play you win only to lose

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you are missing me too

I’m spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of “tears of a clown”
A prayer gone blind

Since am on vacation, i know the song lyrics are a bit out of topic, but the song title is just perfect. I remember we played this song on our graduation party when we were distributing the diplomas.

By Pink Martini

Ma chambre a la forme d’une cage

Le soleil passe son bras par la fenetre

Les chasseurs a ma porte

Comme des petits soldats qui veulent me prendre

 ( Refrain)

Je ne veux pas travailler

Je ne veux pas dejeuner

Je veux seulement oublier

et puis je fumeee …

Whilst tensions are rising in Lebanon, here in my side of the world, Kuwait, things are rather calm. Well, Kuwait has always actually been a really calm place to live in… sometimes I think it’s a bit too calm for my taste.

Work has been taking up a lot of my time recently yet I have been managing to meet up with friends socially.

The weekend is here. I still have some errands to run for an event I am managing that will take place next week but besides that I expect a relatively calm weekend.

I am sick and tired of the regular places me and my friends hang out with. Nothing exciting anymore. I need something to spice up my life a bit… maybe a someone.

I am quite bored with my life at the moment and am in desperate need of a major change. I never was the type who would enjoy stability, routine and security but it does seem that I have gotten quite cozy recently. It definitely eases my mind, but deep down inside I want some excitement in my life. I want to feel all tingly and happy… really and truly happy.

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you baby
But you’re still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
But you’re still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me

The miles just keep rollin’
As the people leave their way to say hello
I’ve heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby
But you’re still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
But you’re still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it’s all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

I’m here without you baby
But you’re still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
But you’re still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
