indulge in reminiscence

Lately I am addicted to classical stuffs. I’ve watched black and romantic movies (Roman Holiday, Casablanca), the great love story that runs for almost 4 hours ‘Gone with the wind’, the ‘Ghost’ movie starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, The English patient, and Out of Africa (I think Meryl Streep looks beautiful in it). And heck, watching romantic movies makes me become more soapy. My mom was quite disturbed by my boohoo. She can hear me from downstairs. Hahah. Another current activity is, I am addicted to a particular classical song from The Shirelles.

Will You Still Love Me Tommorow – Shirelles

Tonight you’re mine completely
You give you love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment’s pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I’m the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I’d like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won’t ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?

(INSTRUMENTAL)

So tell me now, and I won’t ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Lagu ini hari ini

Kawanā€¦ Dunia Kita Memang Berbeza
Jalan Kita Melencong Dan Lurus
Namun Matlamat Kita Tetap Sama
Jadilah Insan Yang Tulus

Hidupku Aku Yang Rasakan
Bukan Seperti Yang Kau Andaikan
Tak Seindah Yang Kau Anggapkan
Tapi Cukup Untukku Dendangkan
Lagu Ini Aku Tulis Hari Ini
Sekadar Untuk Sendiri Renungi
Bukan Saling Menyalahi
Tiada Sebab Yang Tersembunyi

Duniakuā€¦
Tak Seindah Pandanganmu
Namun Cukup Untukku
Dendangkan Padamu
Lagu Ini Hari Iniā€¦

Mereka Semua Tak Peduli
Apa Yang Telah Aku Lalui
Ada Yang Hanya Tahu Mengeji
Syukur Masih Ada Yang Mengingati
Kawan, Lihat Diriku Ini
Kita Hanya Beza Rupa Hakikatnya Sama

Tak Hindar Salah PadaNya
Bukankah Kita Telah Berjanji Pada Dia
Untuk Saling Menyanyangi
Kasihnya Bawa Kita Ke Sanaā€¦

Duniakuā€¦
Tak Seindah Pandanganmu
Namun Cukup Untukku
Dendangkan Padamu
Lagu Ini Hari Iniā€¦
ā€¦Untuk Kita Renung Kembali
Bila Tiba Masanya Nanti
Apakah Kau Masih Mendengar Lagu Ku Ini?

Ingatlah Kita Suatu Hari Nanti
Semua Pasti Pergi Tiada Terkecuali
Pergi Ke Sana Menemui Guru Sejati
Dia Yang Bersemayam Di Arasy Yang Abadi

Waktu Itu Lagu ini Tiada Erti Lagi
Dan Pastinya Tiada Yang Mendengari
Asalkan Siapa Yang Ada Sekarang
Bisa Menilai Yang Boleh Dan Yang Terlarang

Janji Dari Ilah mu Pasti Hadir
Dunia Ini Pasti Berakhir
Ingatlah Wahai Semua Musafir
Hari Yang Akhirā€¦ Hari Yang Akhir… Kian Menghampirā€¦

Sami Yusuf in Wembley Arena

His voice is mesmerising. His lyrics are touching. His songs are breathtaking.

He is famous for ‘mother’ song. It is sung in Arabic, Turkish and English. View the video here.


First time I heard nasheed artist performing at Wembley arena. Cheapest ticket price? It is 15 pounds ladies and gentleman. Probably I can see his tiny dot from afar. T_T

Alongside, there are Outlandish (yeayy!!), A R Rahman, Kareem Salama, Hamza Robertson and The Sound of Reason.

When? This very 21st October.

More details about the concert can be found here.

Alf sineen=seribu tahun

Relaku menunggumu seribu tahun lama lagi
Tapi benarkah hidup aku akan selama ini
Biar berputar ke arah selatan ku tak putus harapan
Sentiasa setia

Relaku mengejarmu seribu batu jauh lagi
Tapi benarkah kaki ku-kan tahan sepanjang jalan ini
Biar membisu burung bersiulan terlelah gelombang lautan
Ku masih setia

Adakah engkau tahu… ini cinta
Adakah engkau pasti… ini untuk selama-lamanya

Relaku menunggumu seribu tahun lama lagi
Tapi benarkah hidup aku akan selama ini… yeah…
Biar berputar ke arah selatan ku tak putus harapan
Sentiasa setia

Jangan putus harapan… sentiasa setia…

I am called to write about this

Raining heavily-wet & chilly cold. In the darkness of night. Tired and sleepy. Just came back from Collective Voices meeting and Wan’s house (listened to fi zilal just for a moment), yet I am called to write about this music band. I am so amazed. They’re called ‘DEBU’ (means dust in English), comes from Indonesia. Most of the band members are from USA, but they established very well in Indonesia. There are 14 members basically. Mustafa (the one who is so into DEBU) can speak many languages (Indonesian, Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Chinese, Spanish and English), and so some others. Amazing huh? Their songs are inspired by sufi’s poetry. About love and god. So, can’t think what to write anymore, but hope you will be interested with them as instant as I did (hee hee :P). Take a peek! PS: The guitar is superbly amazing!
