Forbidden Love by S.E.N

For all my years since I started appreciating music, I always wanted to listen to this particular song and yet nobody could tell me and my brother didn't want to tell me after all these years. He finally did today when we went to a music store, I suppose I've been a better sister! I was so scared that he wouldn't even tell me on his deathbed in the future or something like that(no offence). When I was about 4-7 years old, my brother kept playing that song on the piano while I danced to the music. He played it so beautifully that I twirled round and round till I got dizzy. Well, I got the song now, so I want to look out for the music scores. This people, S.E.N, are really good! I don't know who and how they look like but whatever it is, all the other songs are also beautifully composed and played well. I think they are Japanese, their music sounds Japanese like. There is another one, Like a Wind and it's wonderful! I'm not able to find Forbidden Love
on Youtube and all they showed was Forbidden Love by Madonna. Ugh! Her songs are weird but some people love her.

All I Want Is You by Planetshakers

*Full of joyful tears* I finally found the one Christian worship song that caught my ears when I was starting my Secondary school! Every morning, my school plays worship songs, mostly ones that influence youths and that's one of the reasons why my school is so "Cool"! Just kiddin'! I tried searching for this song and nearly gave up, or rather I was so busy here and there and there were times I forgot...This song is so beautiful and I cry so many times just listening to it...God has done so many things in my life and I can't thank him enough! No matter what happened and will happen to me in future, all I want and need is GOD alone, that's all.

All I Want Is You by Planetshakers
I've waited all my life to be here face to face
I never knew that I could feel this kind of grace
The way You show me that Your love has
Washed me clean
Could never be erased, it lives inside of me

Take me to that secret place
Where I can only see Your face
And nothing else will ever feel this way
You take away my guilty stains
The things I've done that I can't change
It's only by the power of Your name

I stand here in this place
See the glory on Your face
Taken by the wonder of Your name

I'm desperate for Your touch
Never needed it so much
'Cause all I want is You

When all the things around me
Have fallen to the ground
I'm always thankful
For the love in You I've found

Just a note...

Just yesterday I realised that the videos and imeem music bars I inserted in this Blog are now all replaced by a square and a dot each. I tried to copy and paste the HTML again but to no avail so from now onwards, other than posting these videos and music bars, I'll also give the URL. It's much safer this way, I don't know much about downloading and it's downsides. Plus, I'll be returning to school so maybe I'll only post once a month. Well, I got to study real hard! Same to students who spent their time on the 'net.

The translation of Caresse sur l'ocean

Caresse sur l'ocean

Caress on the ocean
Carry the so light bird
Coming back from snowy lands
Ephemeral air of the winter
In the distance your echo moves away
Castles in Spain
Turn to the wind spin unfold your wings
In the grey daybreak of the raising
Find a way towards the rainbow
The spring will confide

Caress on the ocean
Put down the so light bird
On the stone of a submerged island
Ephemeral air of the winter
Finally your breath moves away
Far in mountains
Turn to the wind spin unfold your wings
In the grey daybreak of the raising
Find a way towards the rainbow
The spring will confide
Peace on the ocean.

Les Petits Chanteurs de St Marc - Caresse sur l'ocean

This is a video of the Choir I mentioned in the former post. They are singing Caresse sur l'ocean, one of the songs used in Les Choristes and Jean-Baptiste Maunier was also the soloist in this performance just as he was in the film. It's a celestial and touching song people say.

Les Petits Chanteurs de St Marc - Caresse sur l'ocean
Caresse sur l'océan
Porte l'oiseau si léger
Revenant des terres enneigées
Air éphémère de l'hiver
Au loin ton écho s'éloigne
Châteaux en Espagne
Vire au vent tournoie déploie tes ailes
Dans l'aube grise du levant
Trouve un chemin vers l'arc-en-ciel
Se découvrira le printemps

Caresse sur l'océan
Pose l'oiseau si léger
Sur la pierre d'une île immergée
Air éphémère de l'hiver
Enfin ton souffle s'éloigne
Loin dans les montagnes
Vire au vent tournoie déploie tes ailes
Dans l'aube grise du levant
Trouve un chemin vers l'arc-en-ciel
Se découvrira le printemps
Calme sur l'océan.

Les Choristes

I just watched Les Choristes, a 2004 French film yesterday night and I felt that even a simple plot of such story in this film could attract my tears to spill out. It's mostly the music they made mainly from the Choir. Ah...I'm glad that I join the Choir in my school too, it's a great sensation to be in a whole, singing harmoniously. Anyway, the songs are a bit sad(some of them), sounding like an orphan still thinking that his father is coming to fetch him from a boarding school as said in the film. The boys in the school all need hope and encouragement from the teachers actually. So when Clement Mathieu, the new prefect came in, everything changed, as expected from the audience, for the better. When the boys showed him little respect and gave him trouble, he approached them in a different way than the other prefects. He became much of their friend, eventually finding a Choir voice in them. And there were exceptions and other problems too. In all, having watched so many touching films, I felt that there were not much difference with other good films and I expected it quite as much as it was. Still, every story, every film is unique and to be appreciated more than what the critics comment. I would still recommend this film. The boys really sang too and the background music is sung by Les Petits Chanteurs~De Saint-Marc of which one of the choristers, Jean-Baptiste Maunier, was in the film as one of the main actors. I even bought the album they were selling today, thinking that it was the soundtrack of the film. I half regretted when I looked the second time at the album but that was before I listened to them. They have truly earned recognition across the world. I hope that my Choir too, will be just like them(or even becoming better than them one day). True, my Choir is 119 years old this year and it's quite good, but sometimes we don't have much passion for singing. But that's another matter. For those who have not seen this film:

Ohh! Korean! I feel faint...

After watching Witch Yoo Hee/Witch Amusement, a recent Korean comedy romance drama, I got in love with the songs too! I don't really understand the songs but they are really one of a kind. I've never known much of Korean Pop till I started waching Korean drama of course! There's one of my friends who shares much of the same thoughts as me(though I suspect she prefers those weepy to funny ones). Anyway, we both agree that the best looking asian guy is somehow Koreans. There are other good songs from other Korean drama too... I'll be taking time. This would be sort of my favourite song form the drama Wich Yoo Hee below:

The Heart Asks For Pleasure First/The Sacrifice by Michael Nyman

This piece of Classic is one of my favourite. It's shown in movie, The Piano directed and written by Jane Chapman. There's so many things I would like to talk about but don't really know where to start. So anyway, I put out the video and by watching it will make you understand all of what I want to say. By the way, "The Heart Asks For Pleasure First" and "The Sacrifice" are two different pieces which both sound quite alike and can be combined. This time round, the video is only about"The Heart Asks For Pleasure First" So enjoy!
