YUI Tokyo​

She's been around for years but I've only just discovered her.

That's beautiful, thank you for posting it.

That's beautiful, thank you for posting it.

This is Yui in her current incarnation.

She's a great performer. I'm in love, my heart is aching. I just wish I was thirty years younger or even twenty!

I'm so sorry in the morning
You can believe what you believe,
I'm used to waking up alone

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.

My mother used to listen to this all the time. I guess it got stuck in my head, but it is a very easy/nice song to play on the guitar.

59th Street Bridge Song

I drove over that bridge every time we went to visit our family in Queens, NYC.

I think I drove over it once, perhaps twice... Or rather, was driven over.

The silly side of metal rock has lost its head alien.

The silly side of metal rock has lost its head alien.

Damn. That's awesome, in a completely nonsensical way. I approve.

Here is something else that is dead, too. In a sense.

 

[Neonurotic]

Step out the door and it feels like rain
That's the sound, that's the sound on your windowpane
Take to the streets but you can't ignore
That's the sound, that's the sound, you're waiting for

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's where you'll find me
(Yeah)

[butters]

for tsotha - to remind you not to give in to the silence

 

[pelegrino]

And another one for Tsotha with lyrics and all.
It is quite flexible for attaching one's own meaning to them...
