Aishiteru Aishiteta...by Utada Hikaru

Rusu roku ni natta mama de anata no koe ga kikoeru
Irusu nante gomen ne rashikunai yo ne

"mata kakeru yo" tatta juu byou no messaaji wo
Makimodoshite kurikaesu

Yobikakeru yawarakai koe mo hanashikata mo
Zenbu ai shiteta

Sayonara wa ienai kara anata kara no denwa ni wa
Mou nido to denai koto de
Semete isagiyosa misetakatta
Yurushite ne hanashi wo shitara naku kara

Furui ringu hidari mimi no piasu
Nagai ude to hiji no kizu
Mijikai tsume kata no hokuro mo
Tsumetai te mo zenbu ai shiteta

Yawarakai koe yasashii hanashikata
Nagai ude to hiji no kizu
Furui ringu suzu no udedokei
Tsumetai te mo zenbu ai shiteta

Kore kara mou koi wo shinakereba
Kono omoi wa seijitsu to yobareru no?

Ai shiteru ai shiteru

....this is my most favorite japanese song(among the very few that i've heard); it has that sad undertone that, even though you don't understand the language you'll get the feel what she's talking about...even more beautiful are its lyrics, the english translation cannot fully bring out the meaning of the song...but still, here they are...

愛してる, 愛してた

I can hear your voice, which has become a recording on the machine.
I'm pretending to be away, which doesn't really seem like I'm trying
to say I'm sorry, does it?
"I'll call again." It was a mere ten second message.
But I'll rewind it over and over again.
You call out to me with your tender voice.
I love and cherish it all.
I don't want to say sayonara to you,
So I can't bring myself to call you back.
I wish that I could find at least the courage to return your call,
Forgive me, I'll cry if we speak to each other,
so...Your old ring... Your pierced left ear...
The long arms and scratched elbows...
Short fingernails... The mole on your shoulder...
And your cold hands... I loved everything.
Your tender voice... Sweet words...
Long arms and scratched elbows...
Your old ring... Tin wristwatch...
And your cold hands... I cherished and loved it all.
If we are no longer in love, then
These memories are sacred, don't you agree? I love you... Oh, I love you...

...i know, too mushy!!...but it makes my ears very happy...

Things life has taught me...part 2..

7. Before downloading a foreign language movie, download the subtitles beforehand....otherwise keep 2 disprins handy..
8. Never sit with a conductor of a blue line bus...especially if he's fond of singing..
9. Don't order Potato Salad in Cafe 100...infact, don't ever order any salad anywhere...if you like it so much, buy some fruits and vegetables and make it at home...at one-tenth price..
10. When someone walks like, talks like, eats like, smiles like, stares like and behaves like a mean ol pig/bitch...chances are he/she is a mean old pig/bitch...
11. Don't go to Imdb search, when you've an exam tomorrow..
12. Always note the no. of autorickshaw...or one day you'll regret..

Still some more left...will post later...

Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

Kitaro and EVP

Add to My Profile | More Videos

Okay; just to make it clear beforehand, i have absolutely no belief whatsoever in supernatural...but I found this really interesting...this is EVP-Electronic Voice Phenomenon; an alleged communication by spirits through tape recorders and other electronic devices...in the above video, EVP from various sources are mixed with some music...

After World War II, tape recorders became affordable for the average person, and some paranormal investigators began taping their séances. Sometimes when they played the tape back, they heard voices or sounds that were not there when the tape was originally made... this is nothing but EVP ...and it has been mushrooming eversince..

Interest in EVP apparently began in the 1920s. An interviewer from Scientific American asked Thomas Edison about the possibility of contacting the dead. Edison, a man of no strong religious views, said that nobody knows whether “our personalities pass on to another existence or sphere” but

"it is possible to construct an apparatus which will be so delicate that if there are personalities in another existence or sphere who wish to get in touch with us in this existence or sphere, this apparatus will at least give them a better opportunity to express themselves than the tilting tables and raps and ouija boards and mediums and the other crude methods now purported to be the only means of communication." (Clark 1997: 235)

And though nobody knows for sure, that Edison had anything similar to EVP in mind while saying that..and though Skeptics and Paranormal Scientists(as they call themselves) both have their own facts and arguments... its almost like an experiment, and you can get lots of information from the web, how to make you own EVP cassette, if you so desire...

Did you know your DNA could create music...and not some ordinary music, but listen to this excerpt from "The Secret Life Of DNA"(2007) and you'll just say- "INCREDIBLE"...i heard it in the dead of night alone and had a spine-chilling experience...those A/T/G/C of your DNA do everything musical notes are supposed to do; when taken from a life-they make music; when taken from a random sequence- they make cacophony...

The Secret Life of DNA (2007)

This is a new symphonic work by Stuart Mitchell which expresses the protein patterns/music that exists within the four bases of DNA. The protein sequences of a 70 Million year old T-Rex, a Humpback Whale, an orchestral fugue of the composer's son Lewis's DNA melody entwined with the composer's own DNA, culminating with Ludwig Van Beethoven's Nucleotide sequence taken from clippings of his hair. The DNA proteins are all translated into music as he invites the listener into a new realm, a new perception and dimension of sound.

The album will be available by December, 2007

"DNA music exists within every living organism universally and now we have the technology to
unlock a symphony from within everyone for a better and more aesthetic understanding
of life, ourselves and each other."

"When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well..."
-Jackson Pollock(1912-1956)(Jack, the Dripper)

He painted with his body...moved around the canvas as if dancing...he was all about flinging, dripping, pouring, spattering...physicist argue, his work displays property of mathematical fractal...was an alcohlic and died in a car crash...In November 2006 Pollock's "No. 5, 1948" became the world's most expensive painting, when it was auctioned to an undisclosed bidder for the sum of $140,000,000...In 2000, a biographical film "Pollock" won actress Marcia best supporting actress Academy Award...an influential abstract American painter-Jackson Pollock...

Jose Gonzalez- heartbeats (Sony Bravio Ad)

one night to be confused
one night to speed up truth
we had a promise made
four hands and then away

both under influence
we had divine scent
to know what to say
mind is a razorblade

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

one night of magic rush
the start a simple touch
one night to push and scream
and then relieve

ten days of perfect tunes
the colors red and blue
we had a promise made
we were in love

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough

and you, you knew the hands of the devil
and you, kept us awake with wolf teeths
sharing different heartbeats
in one night

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

...this was a recommended must-listen from a friend...and i must say the same too...the colors and d melody...too good!

Always on your side

Always on your side...Sheryl Crow

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side

Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
But my demons and my angels reappeared
Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be
To afraid to hear the world's I'd always feel
Leavin' you with all the questions all these years

Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No, it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side

Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are we left to wonder, all alone, eternally
But is this how it's really meant to be?
no, this isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away,
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wandering through this life
When you know that I was always on your side?

...first heard this song as the soundtrack of tv series "Desire" and absolutely loved it...a beautiful song...
