The Art of Love

beberapa minggu yang lalu, seorang teman memperkenalkan saya dengan sebuah lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh Guy Sebastian dan Jordin Sparks berjudul The Art of Love. karena penasaran, saya pun langsung mendowload lagu tersebut dan mencari liriknya.

Art Of Love
I’m saying sorry in advance cos this won’t always go to plan
Though we don’t mean to take our love for granted
It's in our nature to forget what matters
How when the going is getting tough
And we’re all about giving up
Things that we never thought we’d gonna say, gonna say them
Things that we never thought we’d play, gonna play them
It ain’t perfect, but it’s worth it
And it’s always getting better
It’s gonna take some time to get it right

Cause I’m still learning the art of love
I’m still trying to not mess up
So whenever I stumble let me know
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out for me
Cause I’m still trying to learn the art of love

If I forget to get the door
Remind you that you’re beautiful
I know my detail requires more attention
If I ever hurt you it’s not my intention
Cause we’re gonna make our mistakes
Find out how much your heart can take
But I know that you got my back
And baby I got yours

Cause I’m still learning the art of love
I’m still trying to not mess up
So whenever I stumble let me know
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out for me
Cause I'm still trying to learn the art of love

Sometimes I’m gonna miss
I’m still learning how to give
I’m not giving up
I’m still learning how to love
Learning how to love…

Still trying to learn the art of love
Still learning, I'm still learning art of love
I'm gonna get it sometimes, cause I'm still learning
the art of love

setelah membaca liriknya saya langsung SANGAT menyukai lagu ini dan liriknya, yang menurut saya, cukup dalam and so true.
di dalam hidup memang tidak akan pernah ada yang sempurna dan akan selalu ada kesalahan, kelalaian, ataupun ketidaksengajaan yang kemudian membuat tidak nyaman orang-orang disekeliling kita, namun semoga dengan semua kesalahan dan pengalaman itu kita bisa belajar untuk menjadi lebih dan lebih baik kedepannya.
terhadap diri kita sendiri, terhadap orang lain disekitar kita, dan terutama terhadap orang-orang yang kita sayangi dan mempunyai arti yang sangat besar di dalam kehidupan kita.

oleh karenanya, dengan semua yang diutarakannya di dalam lirik, saya pun saya resmi menjadikan lagu ini sebagai my monthly song of the mind :)

and Last but not the least,
Happy Monthly Anniversary to You, Big Guy :D

asiik, Bowling. Bowling! hehe..

love and cheers!

Don't Let Me Fall

I found that songs always have their own way to help me realize or cope with whatever emotions or conditions that I'm going through at some times. And I still finding it amazing how sometimes i accidentally found a song that can describe exactly how i felt.

listening to such a song was just helping me so much to go through some of the worst times i've had in my life. because sometimes, when the world spinning out of your control and no one seems to understand how you really felt, it just feels nice to listen to a song that can describe exactly what you've been going through. And it helped me a lot, to know that there's someone out there who knew how i felt and made a lyrics about that :)

couple of days ago, i found this one song and i get really drawn to it. there's something in the lyrics that just attracted me and made me instantly like the song. so, just check it out.

Don't Let Me Fall by Lenka

underneath the moon, underneath the stars
here's a little heart for you
up above the world, up above it all
here's a hand to hold on to

but if i should break, if i should fall away
what am i to do?
i need someone to take,
a little of the weight or I'll fall through

Chorus:
you're just the one that i've been waiting for
i'll give you all that i have to give and more
but don't let me fall
take a little time, walk a little line
got the balance right
give a little love, gimme just enough
so that i can hang on tight

we will be alright, I'll be by your side
i won't let you down
but i gotta know, no matter how things go
that you will be around

Don’t let me fall

you'll be the one
that I’ll love forever more
I'll be here holding you high above it all
but don’t let me fall


it's hard to explain why i like this song. i guess it's just that I kinda understand all the uncertainty, the insecurity, and the doubt of wanting to give what we have to someone, but afraid that the other person will not take a good care of it, that this song talked about.

All and all, this is a very nice song with a lovely tunes. Lenka rocks! :)

happy listening, wish you all a lovely love life, and cheers!

You give me more loving than I’ve ever had
You make me feel better when I’m feeling sad
You tell me I’m special even though I know I’m not
You make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely getting mad
I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
Its as easy as
1-2-1-2-3-4

There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words for you
I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
I love you

You give me more loving from the very start
You piece me back together when I fall apart
You make me feel good when I hurt so bad
You’re the best that I’ve had
And I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It’s easy as
1-2-1-2-3-4

There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words for you
I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
I love you
I love you
You make it easy
It’s easy as
1 2 1 2 3 4
