Quiet Times




Singer: Dido

Ask me where i go tonight i go back to today last year.
Me and you had to make each other happier, now there's hope with everything.

It's hard enough to feel the world as it is and hold on anything.
Without these quiet times you've brought round here.

I'm Gonna have to run away, im sure that i belong some other place.
I've seen another side of all i've seen it keeps me wondering where my family is.

It's hard enough to see the world as it is, and hold on anything.
Without these quiet times coming round here.

Now i miss you...
Now i want you...
But i can't have you...
Even when you're here...

Suppose i have to take you with me, broken mind i'd rather leave you here. 

To forget everything you've seen and known erase every idea.

And you walk up in the street, and hold my hand and smile.
Well i won't be taken in, cus i know how it turns out.
And it takes me back to these quiet times coming round here.

Now i miss you...
Now i want you...
You're not coming back...
And i need you...
But i can't have you...
Even when you're here...

Now i miss you...
Now i want you...
You're not coming back...
And i need you...
But i can't have you...
Even when you're here...

Stick to the dream

Pushkar, Rajasthan, India


Today I spotted this photo from an e-newspaper from Lonely Planet. The photo reminds me the unforgettable memory of my India trip. The trip is so meaningful for me for 3 reasons: first, it is a totally different country I was familiar with or I believe for most Taiwanese they will feel the same way at that time; Secondly, it was my first trip to go abroad without accompanying by my family ; Third, I tried very hard to persuade my parents to let me join the trip while I've never been so eager to ask something from my parents until then. And I'm now still grateful for the decision I made.

Bachata Rosa

剛在網路上聽到這首好聽的Bachata歌曲,上Wiki查了一下發現Bachata這個曲風是源自多明尼加,原本多在鄉村地方傳唱,歌詞大部份都是關於愛情、為愛心碎、哀傷的主題。Bachata後來風靡了整個拉丁美洲,並發展出以這類歌曲所編的舞蹈類型。Bachata多半是用吉他、鼓跟多明尼加的傳統樂器伴奏。
