The official release date for CNBLUE new single on Japan is still 3 days away (01.08.2012), but this morning I've got the leaked link to listen to their new single (3 songs) in advance ^^


1. Come On

"Come On"

Come on!

The dark covers me, I hear the ticking of the clock
Hey, can you see me?
Here, I am waiting for some kind of miracle and then break away

Mitsuketai mitsukara nai hon no isshun ga 

Come on over come on over
I only wanna see the light
Come on over stand by me
Semegiau netsu ga 
Come on over come on over
Bokura terasu nara 
Come on over stand by me
Hitotsu ni nareru haz darou? 

Come here to my fading star, now I am alone
Hey, can you see me?
Kiseki wo motome hitasura ni migaita yume 

Mitukara nai kumori no nai miageru beki sora

Come on over come on over
Now I’m not afraid with you
Come on over stand by me
Hikareau yubi ga 
Come on over come on over
Karamiatta nara 
Come on over stand by me
Urei mo tokasu hazu darou? 

Come on over come on over
Be my mirror, be my sword
Come on over stand by me
Te wo nobaseba ii
Come on over come on over
Motome atta nara
Come on over stand by me
Hikari ga sasu sou darou?

I'm not so sure about the japanese lyrics for this song, since I don't understand the language hehe.. so please correct me if I'm wrong :)

2. Wake Up 
(Music & Lyrics by Jung Yong Hwa)

Cr. thepsjhkiki (YouTube)

"Wake Up"

You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
You need to find out
You can't be 'OASIS'
You can't be 'BON JOVI'
You need to be yourself

I wanna go, I wanna try
"Why not?" The answer's just the same
I wanna go, I wanna try
Yes, I stand firm on my views

(Chorus)
Hey baby, Wake up Wake up!
You're a copycat
Wake up Wake up
Listen up!
Wake up Wake up!
Hey, can you hear?
Wake up Wake up!
You are a coward

Get away
Now, I don't care about you
Now, I don't care what you say, yeah?
Get away
Yes, It is none of your business

What do you want to be?
You can't be no one else
You need to find out
Hey baby, don't show off
You can't be no one else
You need to find out

I wanna go, I wanna try
"Why not?" The answer's just the same
I wanna go, I wanna try
Yes, I stand firm on my views

(Repeat Chorus)


3. My Miracle
(Music by Lee Jong Hyun, Lyrics by Jung Yong Hwa)

"My Miracle"

Such a feeling's coming over me from you
There is only one wish on my mind

I long to be close to you
I long to be close to you
I'll be on your side, forever more

(Chorus)
You are a miracle to me, miracle to me
Let me tell you this
I don't wanna lose your love, my love
You are a miracle to me, miracle to me
Let me tell you this
But, I can not explain how much I love you

How can I tell you now?
How can I say to you?
There is only one wish on my mind

I long to be close to you
I long to be close to you
I'll be on your side, forever more, forever more

I long to be close to you
I long to be close to you

(Repeat Chorus)

You are a miracle to me, miracle to me
Let me tell you this
I wanna hold you tight tonight, my love

You are a miracle to me, miracle to me
Let me tell you this
But, I can not explain how much I love you

Such a feeling's coming over me from you
There is only one wish on my mind

I long to be close to you
I long to be close to you
I'll be on your side, forever more, forever more
*I guess the word "long" on "I long to be close to you" refers to "belong"*



It's quite funny to hear Yong Hwa's pronunciation of "miracle" haha.. Sometimes I found the english lyrics are strange to be heard as a sentence, but I know Yong Hwa already make a huge effort to write the song and he's still learning to improve his english :)

Somehow I feel their music on Japan slightly a bit different than their Korean songs. The appearance is darker and the music is louder in Japan, while in Korea the boys images are softer and warmer. Those are just my opinion though, but I guess their adapt to the market preference.

Recently, Jung Yong Hwa also composed a song for FNC's new group, AOA. The song title is "Love Is Only You". The group consists of 8 young women, bring a theme of "Angel's Story" for their debut. FNC already released several teaser videos of this group and planned to have their debut on July 30th. It was unfortunate for FNC that the song already leaked two (or three?) days ago, as a contrast it's a blessing in disguise for Yong Hwa fans ;)

As an addition to Yong Hwa accomplishment as a composer, he also give Juniel his song called "Fool"  for her debut couple months ago.

I can't hardly wait for CNBLUE new Korean album or songs. I really wish they'll make a comeback around late Oct or early Nov!

Once Upon Another Time by SB

I have finished listen to Sara Bareilles new EP, called "Once Upon Another Time", which has been released on last May. The EP consists of 5 new songs: Once Upon Another Time, Stay, Lie To Me, Sweet As Whole, Bright Lights and Cityscapes.


The first and second verse lyrics of "Sweet As Whole" are drowning my attention. I can't help but giggling while listening and reading those sweet but sharp words :)

"Sweet As Whole"

[Verse 1:]
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
Got this sugary me stuffed in my sleeve
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
And I'm just who you want me to be
But like most creatures down here on the ground
I'm composed of the elements moving around
And I grow and change and I shift and I switch
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch
But that only happens when I get provoked
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
That mean songs are still better than going postal

[Chorus:]
And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No gettin' away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
Oh-asshole
Asshole
Asshole


[Verse 2:]
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
And I hate to think that I ruined the day
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
Your toxin wasting perfectly good space
And I say what I think
'Cause it's more economic than drugs or a drink


Here's the link of Sara's new songs from SaraBareillesVEVO channel on YouTube:

2. Stay

Have you fall for Sara yet? ;)

Meet Kripac and Bareilles

I have a habit to listen to some music before sleep. Last night, my iTunes shuffled around through Lenka's and Sara Bareilles' songs. I just realized it has been a while since the last time I heard their voices, I guess I really drown and sink too deep into Korean Wave lately >.<

As a fan, I went to Sara's and Lenka's concert in Jakarta last year. I really really love Sara's performance! It was an intimate yet joyful concert because Sara loved to play around with the audience. When the audience asked Sara to sing one of her hits "Between The Lines" even though the song is not on her list, she still tried to sing it while trying to guess some of the song's keys on her piano. It's so funny when she made several mistakes because she hasn't practice to play it for a long time :) Sara was wearing a simple all black outfit, up do her hair, and the stage decoration is just an all black curtain too. It was so simple yet memorable. I wish I'll have a chance to watch her live performance again someday. When I opened Sara's official web, the homepage placed a big announcement about her new EP. I'm listening to her new songs at the moment ^^


Lenka's performance was also fun and enjoyable. She was on an early pregnancy when she held her concert in Jakarta last October. She has asked one of her fans to write some lyrics for "Everything At Once" and sang that new version while play the tunes on her keyboard :) She's wearing a simple batik dress that look so cute on her. The stage was small with a little decoration that match with her second album concept "Two". Everything's good except the choice of the concert venue. I went through to Lenka's official website and it hasn't been updated for a while, I guess Lenka is currently enjoying her new duty as a mother :)


Below are some youtube links of my favorites songs from Lenka and Sara!



2. Lenka - Don't Let Me Fall
3. Lenka - The Show
4. Lenka - Heart Skips A Beat
5. Lenka - Everything's Okay
6. Lenka - Bring Me Down

I love the concept of Lenka's "Trouble is A Friend" video!


7. Sara Bareilles - King of Anything

My fav MV!

8. Sara Bareilles - Love Song
9. Sara Bareilles - Uncharted
10. Sara Bareilles - Basket Case
11. Sara Bareilles - Gravity
12. Sara Bareilles - Love on The Rocks

Have you ever heard Sara's version of Yellow? IMO, it's more heartbreaking than Coldplay..


Hope you'll enjoy their music as much as I do ;)

Happy Thursday! Who's fasting today? Happy fasting you, you, and you! :D

I'm A Loner

I'm the type of person who read the lyrics and try to find the meaning behind a song. I'm a weirdo.

Last night I went to have some fun with my friends and decided to close the day with 2,5 hours of karaoke. I've got a chance to sing CNBLUE's Oetoriya (I'm A Loner) although I sang the song alone happily because none of my friends know how to sing this song ;p

This morning, I heard the same song on my phone, scrolled down the lyrics, while humming with its melody. After read those words throughly, I stunned for a moment.. *blush & burning* daradiridaraduu..

Somehow, I love how FNC Music formed and named the band as C(ode) N(ame) B(urning)L(ovely)U(ntouchable)E(motional). Because, IMHO, their music perfectly sync with those words :)

In case you haven't seen the MV of Oetoriya, you can check this video out!

  해도 다른 사람 생긴걸 알아... 이미 너와 나의 거리... 멀어진 그리고 벌어진 남보다 못한 우리 사이...
차라리 다른 사람 생겼다고 내가 싫으면 싫다고... 차라리 솔직하게 말해줬다면  너를 죽도록 미워하진 않았을 텐데...  말을 되새겨 봐도 이리저리 둘러대는 거짓말이야...

Daradiridaraduuuu..
