Pete Murray – Opportunity

July 31st, 2010

Opportunity
And so it goes another lonely day
Your savin time but your miles away
Your fly was drownin in some bitter tea
For seeing lost opportunity

Find your mirror go and look inside
And see the talent you always hide
Don’t go kidd yourself well not today
Satisfaction’s not too far away

Hold on now your exits here
It’s waiting just for you
Don’t pause too long
It’s fading now
It’s ending all too soon you’ll see

Soon you’ll see

Your coffee’s warm but your milk is sour
Life is short but your here to flower
Dream yourself along another day
Never miss opportunity

Don’t be scared of what you cannot see
Your only fear is possibility
Never wonder what the hell went wrong
Your second chance may never come along

Hold on now your exits here
It’s waiting just for you
Don’t pause too long
It’s fading now
It’s ending all too soon you’ll see

Soon you’ll see

Hold on now your exits here
It’s waiting just for you
Don’t pause too long
It’s fading now
It’s ending all too soon you’ll see

Soon you’ll see [x5]

Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto – Desafinado

May 22nd, 2010

One of the most famous bossanova songs ever produced. Listening to this now on a wet rainy Saturday afternoon.

Stan Getz makes me feel like picking up my saxophone lessons again. Has been untouched under my table for at least 7 years.

Incubus – Love Hurts

March 8th, 2010

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
I don’t want to lose what I had as a boy
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
As common as a cold day in LA
Sometimes when I’m alone, I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts…
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
’cause without love I won’t survive.

I’m fettered and abused,
I stand naked and accused
Should I surface this one man submarine?
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth!
I’ll never lose what I had as a boy.
Sometimes when I’m alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts…
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
’cause without love I won’t survive.

Flight Facilities – Crave You

January 26th, 2010

Heard this first on Perez and I love it. You heard it here first…. or second… :)

The identity of the artists behind Flight Facilities remains mysterious… Rumour has it that this project is the brainchild of Jimmy 2 Sox and (possibly) U-Go-B, two Sydneysiders affiliated with Australian electro labels Bang Gang 12 inches and Modular.

Plans to work together were formed then but didn’t really take off until the following year when they met again at the secret Bang Gang Runway party. This time, real plans were formed and and they started doing some remixes for a bunch other artists such as Bag Raiders, The Lowbrows, Toecutter and Sneaky Sound System.

They are just about to release a fantastic single, “Crave You”, that will be out in a couple of months (March 26th to be exact). They are also planning to release an album called Taking Flight some time in 2010.

Hope for Haiti

January 25th, 2010

Here’s my favourite two favourite performances at the Hope for Haiti telethon concert. There are lots of ways and channels to help, here is one of many.

A wonderful rendition of Hallelujah done by Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris at the Hope for Haiti benefit concert. One of the best I’ve heard. So far I love the Jeff Buckley version, but I must say this one comes a close second to the Jason Castro one.

Graffiti 6 – Over You

January 11th, 2010

As you know, i’m a huge Jamie Scott & The Town fan, terribly starstruck when I got a chance to meet them at SingFest in 2008.

SingFest 2007 with Jamie Scott & The Town

Now he has collaborated with Tommy D to form Graffiti6, who have produced the successful track Stare Into the Sun. I came across this video from The Sun newspaper online. An amazing song done acoustic called Over you, I love love love LOVE it.

And somehow, this song struck a chord. Felt a sudden pang of sadness, and buried emotions resurfaced. I wish I could hear him play live again, pure talent. Someone please hook me up with a live gig if I’m ever in the UK this year!

I don’t think it has been released, so you heard it here first!

Graffiti 6 – Over You
Lay down your armour baby
No need to fight no more
Coz i have been wondering darling
We should just stop this war

but it’s alright
nothing lasts forever baby
it’s alright
now i can dance

coz I’m over you
this time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
said I am over love
this time is the last time
always my love

no need for arguments
just walk through the door baby
sometimes I don’t know what we’re talking about
you lose yourself i lose myself baby

but its alright
nothing lasts forever baby
its alright
now I can dance

coz I’m over you
this time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
said I am over love
this time is the last time
always always

And maybe yeah it took a long time
when you’re running away from truths you can’t find
maybe yeah it was a hard time
when love had gone

Now I’m over you
this time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
said I am over love
this time is the last time
always always

Now I’m over you
this time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
said I am over love
this time is the last time
always Mmmmm
