'top to toe'

she's a little all over the place, that was for sure. good news is when she loved, she loved big. and if she loved you, you knew she loved you. you never had to wonder. 

this song caught my attention after a listen. i hope you like my rendition :)

song: aku tenang by fourtwnty
mic: yeti (Blue Microphones) 
guitar: martin dx1rae solid spruce top

lyrics: 
Denganmu, tenang
Tak terpikir dunia ini
Karenamu, tenang
Semua khayal seakan kenyataan

Berlari-lari di taman mimpiku
Imajinasi telah menghanyutkanku
Mimpiku sempurna
Tak seperti orang biasa

Karenamu, tenang
Semua khayal seakan kenyataan

Berlari-lari di taman mimpiku
Imajinasi tak menghanyutkanku
Mimpiku sempurna
Tak seperti orang biasa

Aku berbeda
Aku berbeda

Berlari-lari di taman mimpiku
Imajinasi telah menghanyutkanku
Mimpiku sempurna
Tak seperti orang biasa

Fikirkan indah tentang surga
Seakan-akan disana
Berkhayal semua tentang jiwa
Ku tenang

'aku tenang'

----------------------------------------
lyrics:
In the thunder and rain, you stare into my eyes 
I can feel your hands moving up my thighs 

In the thunder and rain, you stare into my eyes 
I can feel your hands 

I recognize your fragrance, hold up
You aint never gotta say it 
Cuz I know your taste is 
A little bit high maintenance
Everybody else basic
You live life on an everyday basis
With poetic justice, poetic justice 
If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it? 
I mean I write poems and these songs dedicated to you 
Anytime you can get it, you can get it, you can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want 
Poetic justice, put it in a song alriiight 
Things I don't understand 
Sometimes I need to be alone 
Dont kill my vibe, dont kill my vibe 
Cuz I can feel your energy from two planets away
Got my drink, I got my music I can share it but today I'm yelling 
Dont kill my vibe, dont kill my vibe 
Dont kill my vibe, dont you kill my vibe 
Dont kill my vibe, dont kill my vibe 
Dont you kill my vibe 
Be the last one out to get this dough? No way
Love one of you bucket headed hoes? No way
Hit the streets, then we break the code? No way 
Hit the brakes, when they on patrol? No way
Money trees is the perfect place for shade
And that's just how I feel 
A dollar might
Yeah, that's just how I feel
Forget that
Hol' up
See the big stuff poppin', everybody's watchin' 
When you do it like me, losin' ain't an option
Hol' up
Money trees is the perfect place for shade
That's just how I feel 
This m.A.A.d city now I run, yeah
That's just how I feel

In the thunder and rain, you stare into my eyes 
I can feel your hands moving up my thighs 

In the thunder and rain, you stare into my eyes 
I can feel your hands

'kendrick lamar medley'

i adore you.

lyrics:
she is like the first few days of summer-- warm and new
yes, she's warm and new
she is like the colours and the wonders of sunsets,
yes, she's all that too

she'd talk about the things she loves,
adores everything that you are,
she could be anything at all

she craves for tunes of l-o-v-e
and all the places she should see
oh, promise me, you'd keep her wild, wild, wild

so make your escape
won't you take me away?
we could try,
see the stars,
dance our souls out till the morning sun

and be my escape,
we could go far away,
build a house,
don't think twice,
cross my heart it'll just be the two of us

the two us, the two of us

she is like the first few days of summer-- warm and new,
yes, she's warm and new
and you are too, and you are too, and you are too

we could be true

'she'

see, self discovery isn't this comfortable, miraculous thing. it can get ugly, it can get confusing. it's gritty, it's hard. it's difficult to confront yourself sometimes, it's difficult to be the person who does things differently, who doesn't settle. 

but it's the greatest gift you will ever give yourself. it will push you towards figuring out what your own personal version of happiness looks like; and when you grow on your own terms, when you figure out what actually matters to you, and when you carve your own path, you will live on your own terms. you love on your own terms. you become the person you have always wanted to be, rather than the person you were always told to be. that is beautiful. because when it comes down to it.. life is about making yourself proud on your own terms. it's about finding happiness that works for you.

song: 'butterfly' by desi kinanthi
guitar: taylor gs mini
-------------------------------------------------------------------
lyrics: 
you said, hey 
stay a while
you are one of 
a kind

but my dear,
i never plan to go
you are all that i’ve known
for a while

like a butterfly
you let me try
fly my way to a place i belong

no matter how far
i’ll fight the sun
with my stories untold  
i am on my way
to a place we can go as one
i’ve found home

hey, but will you stay a while?
your heart is so kind
all that i want
one of a kind

but my dear,
i never plan to go
you are all that i’ve known
for a while

like a butterfly
you let me try
fly my way to a place i belong

no matter how far,
we’ll fight the sun
with our stories untold
we are on our way
to a place we can go as one
we’ve found home

Original 

'butterfly'

pain should never make you feel small. i think that with every loss in love our hearts will become wider. and someday my heart, our hearts, will be large enough to hold the world. 

this is my song of patience. i hope you enjoy :)

song: 'lagu kesabaran' by desi kinanthi

lyrics:

jika kau merasa lelah
percaya dengan matahari
akan terbit lagi
lagi
mencoba lagi

pegang tanganku dan bernafas
kita bisa berani
walaupun perlahan-lahan

terimalah apa adanya
izinkan dirimu untuk mencari ketengan
percayalah dengan semesta
kau akan menuju ketempat yang seharusnya

jika kau merasa lemah
tetaplah mencintai
berikan cahaya di dunia ini

lalu pegang tanganku dan bernafas
kita bisa berani
walaupun perlahan-lahan

terimalah apa adanya
izinkan dirimu untuk mencari ketengan
percayalah dengan semesta
kau akan menuju ketempat yang seharusnya

jika kau merasa lelah
percaya dengan matahari
akan terbit lagi

'lagu sabar'

some songs speak for itself

northern wind

lyrics:
rise and shine to you, my dear
it's 2 in the morning here, my dear
can't seem to fall asleep

i can hear your call, my dear
promise you will hold on tight, my dear
so we could sit on your front porch
scream and shout to Marley 
on that swinging bench

sweet, sweet boy,
was it hard for you to see me go?
was it hard for you to see me turn the last time?
all you gave me was a smile, my dear
you said, 
don't you worry i'll stay right here

the sun light hits that old church by the street
i see your colours everywhere, my dear
so tell me how's your heart today
did you love yourself enough 
to make the pain go away?
away

sweet, sweet boy,
was it hard for you to see me go?
was it hard for you to see me turn the last time?
all you gave me was a smile, my dear
you said, 
don't you worry i'll stay right here

oooo
oooooooo
ooooOOoooO

i still tend to fall
but you'd pick me up
holding me close
this time

sweet, sweet boy,
i hope one day we'll have a place called home
don't have to worry about seeing me go
we'll stay right here

oooh 

sweet, sweet boy,
was it hard for you to see me go?
was it hard for you to see me turn the last time?
all you gave me was a smile, my dear
i said, 
don't you worry i'll stay right here
