The river runs and the river hides Out to the ocean and under the sky I promised you, the answer will come Hold on to patience and watch for the sign Everything in its time..
- Lyrics from Corrinne May's song Everything In Its Time
Mula-mula, dengar lagu Hanzalah nyanyian Rabbani kat Youtube. Kemudian, klik lagu nyanyian Nadamurni. Live performance. Allah..! Dengan jubahnya, serbannya, mata yang bercelak.. itulah trademark rijal Arqam dulu, kan? Walaupun kite masih kecil mase tu.. memori ni tetap ada. Bila tengok video tersebut tadi.. terdetik kat hati, "alangkah sopan dan cermat penampilan mereka!" Sejuk mata memandang, kan?
Selepas tu, klik pautan2 lain pula. Terjumpa lagu ini -
Kegelapan Malam - Nadamurni
Sangat-sangat nostalgic! Rasanya, tak pernah dengar lagu ni selain dari kaset. Kite ingat lagi, kite ada kaset lagu2 dari Arqam, termasuk Nadamurni. Tapi dah lamaaa hilang entah ke mana. Kalau jumpa pun, bukannya boleh dengar, sebab kat rumah takde cassette player. Jadi, boleh dikatakan, tak dengar lagu ni sejak 13-14 tahun yang lalu. Reaksi bila dengar lagu ni kat Youtube, setelah sekian lama? Something immediately clicked! "Oh..Ohhh..Ohh!! Ni dia..! Pernah dengar!"
Terharu kite tau! Dapat jumpa balik lagu2 ni semua.. sebab masa kecil dulu kite sukerrr dengar.. sedap! Dan bila dah besar ni, baru lah dapat dengar betul2 dan hayati liriknya ^_______^
Rindu - Nadamurni
Pemimpin Tiga Darjat - Nadamurni

1. few weeks ago, my sister bugged me to check out Maher Zain's songs. after several days of 'nantilah... nanti kakak dengar..', i finally sat down, let Aqila play one song from Youtube, and listened.
I focused on the lyrics, and enjoyed the melody. my reflective mode was almost turned on. but, i restrained myself. hmm... i must say, it was a song to be remembered!
I find Maher Zain's music appealing.. the genre that he adopts suits the ears of many, especially youths and young adults. well, it suits mine. heh.
2. stepped into Darul Andalus at Golden Landmark today. tgh browsing, sekali terjumpa majalah Solusi. Immediately grabbed a copy. haha. excited. first heard about it from kak Khadijah last year. she was sharing with me how hooked she was to that magazine, the different contents, relevant, fresh approach. then, recently i went to kak Huda Khamsani's blog, turns out she likes the magazine very much. hmm.. enough to make me want one. curious!
now it's beside me - isu nombor 17. the theme is 'Membina Keyakinan Diri'. Allah! kena betul dgn situasi kite skrg. ~Allah Maha Mengetahui apa dalam hati ni, apa yang diri ni perlukan~ cant help but feel that i was at the right place, at the right time, and got the right first copy.
inshaAllah, i'll share with you more about this after i finish reading the magazine.
Just got to know that We Are The World has been remade, in aid for the Haiti Earthquake.
The song's been given a very fresh makeover, i must say. *love it!* although i think there's just tad too many artists involved, oh well, it's the music that matters.
There's also a sort of remake of The Earth Song at this year's Grammys. When I heard Michael Jackson's singing.. whooaa.. I cant help but feel strange.. almost chilling.. to think that he's underground right now, yet there was his voice, so strong, so into the music. i wonder if he stirred in his grave..
The Earth Song has been a favourite of mine ever since I heard it when I was a kid.
(i notice two of MJ's nephews look like him! Dont you think so?)
Of course, not forgetting this one --
Say the words, I'll lay 'em down for you Just call my name, I am your friend See then why do they keep teaching us Such hate and cruelty We should give over and over again
What have I got that I can give (We should give over and over again) What have I got that I can give (Oh my God, oh my God) See, to love and to teach you To hold and to need you What more can I give
Kite suker dgn lagu Miley Cyrus, The Climb. kite bukanlah peminat lagu2nya dan orangnya. tapi lagu ni lain sikit. lebih bermakna.
videoclip ni dari The Hannah Montana Movie. hehe.. you guessed it, I watched the movie. hah, ni kes tgh boring2 then takde movie best2 yang lain, so picked this one. i dont fancy the movie. pokok ceritanya taklah serious/substantial mana kot. but when it reached the scene above, i found myself concentrating on the song lyrics. relating it and reflecting upon it. yup, it was meaningful! touching too.
afterwards, kite teringat satu quote yang kite pernah cari dulu. bits and pieces. ape lagi, kite pon carilah kat notebook2 lama.. Yes! jumpa jugak akhirnya. di sini, kite nak kongsi dengan korang kata2 Joe Henderson. (tak ingat dari mana kite dapat ayat2 ni.)
Winning is finishing the distance you set for yourself, however humble it might be. Speed is a gift your parents either gave you or couldn't give you. You had little to say about it, so the time you take to run your distance doesn't say much about your spirit. But endurance and persistence are qualities that are largely trained and learned. Finishing is a victory of strong spirit over weak flesh.
dalam lagu The Climb, it's about going up. vertical. quote ni plak, gives me the impression of running. horizontal. (Joe Henderson ni seorang pelari kot?) haha.. ni tak penting lah sgt. apa yang penting, mesejnya sama :) serasi jugak lagu dengan kata2 nasihat ni. iya.. dua2 sebagai satu ucapan perangsang untuk kite. dan awak juga! ^__^
then, minutes ago, i saw the name 'Amr Khaled' again. was reminded of this song. searched youtube. i think he is a.. talk show/documentary host? looks like he's got influence. hmm.. im curious about this guy.
anyhow, i was attracted to the song because of its title, Bismika Nahya. By Your Name, We Live. Dengan NamaMu Kami Hidup.
i'd like to find the arabic lyrics. some other time yea.
rasanya, dlm banyak2 boyband, i like westlife the most. not the guys, ya! im talking about the songs.. and mark's singing voice. subhanallah~
plus, they're not too high-profile, banyak scandal ke ape ke.. and they are still standing tall..
so, baru2 ni, terdengar abang bukak lagu baru westlife kat pc.. sedap ah..
liriknye pon, cukup bermakna!
Us against the world Against the world Us against the world Against the world
You and I, we’ve been at it so long I still got the strongest fire You and I, we still know how to talk Know how to walk that wire
Sometimes I feel like The world is against me The sound of your voice, baby That's what saves me When we're together I feel so invincible
Cause it's us against the world Me and you against them all If you listen to these words Know that we are standing tall I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall Cause it's us against the world tonight
Us against the world Against the world
There’ll be days We’ll be on different sides but That doesn’t last too long We find ways to get it on track And know how to turn back on
Sometimes I feel I can’t keep it together Then you hold me close And you make it better When I’m with you I can feel so unbreakable
Cause it's us against the world Me and you against them all If you listen to these words Know that we are standing tall I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall Cause it's us against the world tonight
We’re not gonna break Cause we both still believe We know what we’ve got And we’ve got what we need alright We’re doing something right
Cause it's us against the world Me and you against them all If you listen to these words Know that we are standing tall I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall
Cause it's us against the world tonight
Us against the world Me and you against them all If you listen to these words Know that we are standing tall I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall
Us against the world Yeah it’s Us against the world, baby Us against the world Tonight
Us against the world Against the world Us against the world
and, when i saw the music video, i realise that the song is about them, westlife. hmmm... the years they've been together, the friendship, hardships and happy times.. aahh... i guess this song is relevant for many people out there =)
sorry, the video-embedding function has been disabled. you can still view the video at youtube though. click here.
it is one of the truely inspiring songs i've ever heard and fallen in love with =)
Lonely The path you have chosen A restless road No turning back One day you Will find you light again Don't you know Don't let go Be strong
Follow you heart Let you love lead through the darkness Back to a place you once knew I believe, I believe, I believe In you
Follow your dreams Be yourself, an angel of kindness There's nothing that you can not do I believe, I believe, I believe In you.
Tout seul Tu t'en iras tout seul Coeur ouvert A L'univers Poursuis ta quete Sans regarder derriére N'attends pas Que le jour Se léve
Suis ton étoile Va jusqu'ou ton reve t'emporte Un jour tu le toucheras Si tu croix si tu croix si tu croix En toi Suis la lumiére N'eneins pas la flamme que tu portes Au fonds de toi souviens-toi Que je croix que je croix que je croix Que je croix En toi
Someday I'll find you Someday you'll find me to (erm.. to? or, too?) And when I hold you close I'll know that is true
Follow your heart Let you love lead through the darkness Back to a place you once knew I believe, I believe, I believe in you
Follow your dreams Be yourself, an angel of kindness There's nothing that you can not do I believe, I believe, I believe In you.
