Finally I posted this song on Youtube! I started to learn this song by ear when I was still a middle school student, and I wasn't able to identify the notes and melodies. But now, I can, and this is the proof that I can do whatever I wish if I really work hard on it.
This is "Fairy Dance", the soundtrack from Peter Pan (2003). I watched it at Christmas 2003 and I fell in love, so it's almost 8 years that I've fallen in love for the movie. This is the tribute to the wonderful James Newton Howard. Thank you for composing such a beautiful song.
I hope you enjoy it, and please visit my youtube channel, too :
This is my newest video posted on Youtube. This song reminds me of broken hearts and misery I had in the past. I'm sorry for the dark room, but enjoy the song!
Sorry for not posting quite a long time, I've been very busy and I just got to handle one of my 2 blogs.
Today I want to share me playing one of my favorite songs : You Raise Me Up.
The very first time I heard the song, I cried.
And now, this song touches me even more.
Enjoy!
This song will let us know that love will always find a way.
In the first verse,
"We would never need to face the world alone."
Maybe facing life together makes you worry, makes you confused about how life would be because of its complication. Some say that ALONE means noone can hurt you, but when we are together, we become stronger than before.
"They can have the world, we'll create our own."
The world is so big with its problems that might let you in. Let others have their own world : the world of cruelty, the world of selfishness, the world of mischief. When you are together with the one you love, forget that kind of world and try to create a brand new world which is full of love, laughter, adventure, and passion. Forget the cruelty.
In the second verse,
"Now I realize love is never wrong and so it never dies."
True love will never die. True love is never wrong. I've mentioned before that even if you fall for the wrong person, if your love is true, than it is RIGHT. Love never dies, because it has a struggle. It has something worth fighting for, that every warrior will keep fighting without hestitation. Love is strong and powerful than anything else in this world.
"If only they can feel it too, the happiness I feel with you."
Sometimes love is so complicated, because when you love someone with all your heart, problems are ready to screw everything up. Maybe jealousy suddenly appears, maybe someone else are planning a war to take over your lover, maybe someone will always break you down. That's the problem. Love is blind. It blinds everyone with its magic that every happiness we feel may become a disaster to others.
In the chorus,
"LOVE WILL FIND A WAY."
Love is so mysterious. It builds a bridge for us to escape. There's always a getaway to escape from all the obstacles you and your lover have. Through all the bad times and the problems you go through, there's always a sanctuary, a secret way to run away. And that's what I call the power of love. Believe that your love is true, cause it's the only power you have left to survive.
"Anywhere we go, we're home if we are there together."
Home is not exactly a place. It's a feeling where you feel safe and secure, when you feel guarded. When your heart bears no worries. And you can only feel home when you are together, because together, you are one. Completing each other with your strength and cover your weaknesses. Together you are stronger than you can ever imagine.
When you doubt your love or when you doubt that you should love,
When is the last time you say goodbye?
Did you cry?
This song wants to teach us to say goodbye the way it should be.
In the first verse,
"In the years to come, will you think about these moments that we shared?"
We have the past to remind us. Your past friends with memories, your past mistakes, your past love. And today, do you still remember them? And how about the things today? Will you still remember all in the future? Or maybe you'll be too busy to remember and to think?
"Nothing lasts forever though we want it to."
Let's face it, everything in the world has its time. Nothing is gonna stay forever. Even friendship and love, the 2 things we always think will last in eternity. And though how hard we try to avoid goodbyes, they still happen.
In the second verse,
"In a year from now, maybe there'll be things we'll wish we'd never said."
A year is a long time and anything can happen. Maybe a relationship will go worse than before. Maybe things change us. Maybe a friendship will be over. Sometimes bad things happen. Bad and rude words come out unpleasantly. Things that then lead to an end.
"Each and every end is always written in the start."
When we meet someone new, don't we realize that someday we'll separate? Maybe death will separate us, or maybe graduation days, moving out, and so many things that can cause a goodbye. So all we have to do is make good impressions towards everyone we know, so when we leave, we're leaving good memories.
In the chorus,
"Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny."
Saying goodbye to someone you love is like letting half of your soul go, is like half-dying. It surely will leave pain in your heart, leave scars. But maybe we forget that when there's a beginning, there's an end. Sometimes we can't see that in a goodbye, we will find another new things. And maybe goodbye is our destiny--maybe it's better that way. It's the only way.
"So say goodbye, but don't you cry, cause true love never dies."
If it's time to say goodbye, we have to face it not with tears, but with smile. Because we know that it's the best way for us, though it hurts. Sometimes when we end a relationship, we think that it's the best way for both of us. You know they'll be better with someone else. But true love, as everyone says, never dies, cause when it comes back to us, then it's ours. Perhaps after a-while goodbye, we will realize that it is meant for us. That's why, behind every goodbye, there's always the bright side.
In the bridge,
"Nothing will ever change the way I feel."
Saying goodbye means we have to leave. Leaving means walk away, not forget. How hard and hurt it is, we still feel the same way. But maybe we can;t interfere more. Our feelings won't change. It will still be the same. Love, care, passion... Everything we have. We just have to leave. Never forget.
SO SAY GOODBYE, BUT DON'T YOU CRY, CAUSE TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES.
When is the last time that you feel you're not ready?
"Time Will Let You Know"
In the first verse,
"Now what are we supposed to be?"
For teenagers or teen-adults, it's confusing to decide what we want to do, who we want to be, or what would happen in the future. Even sometimes adults feel the same way too, perhaps about their jobs or their family. Everyone might be confused, and that's normal.
"We're so afraid of something new, you know it's true."
New things are often creepy, they give us uncertainty. Will they be good, or will they drop us down? And it's normal if we are afraid of changes that lead us to new things. We can't predict what will happen in the future. Maybe those things won't fit us like the others supposed to be. Maybe those things will bring disadvantages. But who knows? No one. Because of this uncertainty, we are afraid.
In the second verse,
"Ain't it funny how the story ends."
If we talk about endings, we might be really surprised. We might feel that the ending is really out of thought, or maybe it is just as close as what we predict. When it comes to the end, we'll see that each ending has a lesson for us. It shows our efforts, it shows how hard we've tried for all the way. People always look for the endings, they don't care about the progress.
"You wonder why you're hanging on when it's gone."
Sometimes we love something too much until when it's time to lose, you still feel the same way. Maybe you love someone too much, but when he's gone, you still feel the same way and you can 't escape from it. Thta's absolutely okay, don't worry. But one thing to remember, it's better to move slowly than not moving at all, because in the end it will hurt you so deeply.
These are the powerful sentences :
"It's all up to me, it's all up to you, time will let you know."
You are who you are, not anyone else. You make your own decision, you work for the sake of yourself, and that's the way it is. So when you've decided and you wonder about the answer you seek, TIME will always let you know. You should always rely on time, because it shows the pretty lies yet the ugly truth; your past and your future. It answers all of your questions--sometimes, you have to wait, however, because a process can take a long time.
"Whatever will be, whatever you do, time will let you know."
Because you can't know the future, you do what you can to predict it. But still, time is the one who'll show you everything. So all you have to do is wait. No matter how long it takes, just wait and the answer will be written for you.
When is the last time you feel alone?
When is the last time you feel you can't do it anymore?
In the first verse,
"And your heart bears a heavy load."
A heavy load here can mean anything : sadness, problems, terrible loss.
How heavy it is, how hard the burden is,
"I am always here to bring you home."
One simple sentence, but can make anyone who is falling down, rises again. Because they BELIEVE that they still have someone--anyone. Someone to share to, someone to talk to, someone to give advices. You can always tell your problems and share, because sharing will ease your pain.
In the second verse,
"You took a chance, you crossed the thin red line."
Taking chances is not easy. The thin red line here can mean the safe line. It is true that when you take a chance, you may move out from your safe place. Anything bad could happen when you risk yourself crossing the line.
"And how every word can seem so unkind."
Not every person will let us take those chances. Some may be really unkind to you, saying bad things about you and your decisions. Don't let them bother you, because you make your own decision and that's just for you. Just believe in yourself.
And here comes the most powerful sentences.
"You make mistakes and heart will break and tears will always fall. The world is turning and you are learning what matters most of all: that you are not alone."
When all your decisions lead you into your biggest mistake, and that makes you heart-broken and cry, you will always learn something from our mistakes; something that makes us grow better. That is called EXPERIENCES.
You are never alone. You will always have someone to talk to, someone to share your problems. If you know who they are, don't hestitate to share, cause it will ease your pain. And if you don't know who to run to, you always have God in your heart. He's a constant listener and good advisor.
So whenever you are heart-broken and lonely, just close your eyes, and someone will always bring you home.
