Flushing Out The Filth

This is the glorious days.
Since the day we were born.
This is not the last.
To be a cleaner.
As Beyond is back.
Live in Kuching.

Humanoid

Paranoia.
Listen up.
Down the stream.
Peaceful ear.
Sweet dream.
Goodnight.

Rocking All Over the World

Oh what a wonderful world.
As i wait for you to talk to me.
Don't waste your time.
To put up the space.
I am tired to wait for you.
The light shining so bright.

A Song For Mia

Just now
I was thinking
And now
I'm wishing
For you to be my only one

And I
Feel like birdie
Fly
From all the way
But why you didn't stop me

Chorus:
Is this the world we should live in?
Should we proud?
It's our pride

On Stage

Pada hari ini.

Hari sungguh menyedihkan.
Apabila saya mengenang kisah kegemilangan di dalam diri saya.
3 tahun berlalu.
Dan zaman itu kian pudar.
Diharapkan satu hari dapat menyatukan semula dua jiwa satu hati.
Zaman mengilai muzik kini berputik kembali.
Keinginan itu tetap ada namun begitu di mana ingin mencari.
Suara latar yang sumbang bukan sahaja menyembuh segalanya namun kerinduan itu tidak lagi terpendam.
Pelayanan oleh lagu-lagu dari The Beatles dan juga Ringo Starr sungguh menambat jiwa.
Dahulunya saya hanyalah seorang vokalis kugiran terpesong.
Hari demi hari kedengaran lagu mereka yang makin terpesong oleh ajaran sesat.
Di manakah kebenarannya?
Kali pertama berada di atas pentas unggul adalah pada 30 Disember 2005.
Hari penuh bermakna.
Berakhir pula pada 9 September 2006.
Dengan hanya berbekalkan 1 demo tidak bermakna.
4 lagu yang masih terletak di laman amp.channelv ini.
Hanyalah tinggal kenangan.
Diharapkan suatu hari nanti dapat bertemu semula.
Jatuh bangun kita di tangan mereka.
Mari bersama kita satukan jiwa kita.
Mengikut rentak irama hati kita.

Sedap didengari.
Di atas bahu anda.
Terselindung sesuatu perkara.
Yang membosankan.
Kerana mereka berkata.
Kemajuan muzik tanahair.
INDIE!
Pemalu.
Tanpa hak yang saksama.
Menambat jiwa.
Luka yang lara.
JANGAN MUSNAHKAN INDUSTRI MUZIK TANAHAIR.

If Tomorrow Never Comes

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

Zee Avi and Her Stuff

Zee Avi is just 23 but she’s an old soul. A huge talent in a petite frame bringing a universal message from the unlikely birthplace of Borneo, an ancient island east of Malaysia which remains an untouched, natural paradise, an apt description of her songs.

How Avi came to record her debut album in L.A., the first joint release from Ian Montone’s Monotone Label and Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records, is a true 21st century tale of the way the Internet has transformed the music business and shrunk the globe in the process.

Born in the tiny town of Miri in Sarawak on the island of Borneo, Zee grew up near the South China Sea in a liberal, encouraging household where her father owned an energy consultancy. “I was bred to be a lawyer,” she says, but music was in her blood. Her father’s father sang and played double-bass, accordion, violin and guitar in bands.

At age 12, Zee moved from Borneo to Kuala Lumpur where she has been based since. At 17, Zee started locking herself in a room for hours on end to learn to play guitar. Guitar took a back seat for 4 years while she was studying fashion design in London. When she returned to Kuala Lumpur, she picked the instrument back up and began writing songs and performing with a band.

Zee began recording her songs on a webcam and posting them on YouTube for a friend to hear. “I remember getting so excited when there was one new comment from some random person I didn’t know… One read ‘I’m lost for words - I shall favorite it and ponder if that’s OK’ ”, which was written by Kris Rowley, a U.K. singer-songwriter with a YouTube following under the name Zzzzzzzzap. He began posting her videos on his site, which began a viral snowball effect.

The day before her 22nd birthday, Zee posted what she intended to be “my last video”, a holiday song, “No Christmas for Me”. By the time she checked her e-mail Avi had almost 3,000 messages including a slew of label offers. One email came from Ian Montone, who had been shown the YouTube clip by Raconteurs’ drummer, Patrick Keeler, prompting Montone to get in touch and offer to release her music on the Monotone Label.

Before she knew it Zee was on a plane to L.A. to record her debut with producer Robert Carranza at Brushfire’s Solar Powered Plastic Plant. “No Christmas for Me” was then featured on the holiday charity album, This Warm December, A Brushfire Holiday, Vol. 1.

With an eclectic pool of influences that range from such eccentrics as Cat Power, Regina Spektor, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Jolie Holland, Daniel Johnston and Chris Garneau, to jazz greats Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, to classics like Velvet Underground and Led Zeppelin, this self-described “rock lover at heart” captures the dark, bittersweet qualities of romance with a crack left open for hope and optimism.

From the sensuous scat singing on “Honey Bee” to the sultry break-up song, “Is This the End”, recalling the existential longing of Peggy Lee’s “Is That All There Is”, Zee is hopeful of finding love, but equally aware of lurking heartache.

The songs on Zee Avi’s debut are about an outsider’s desire to belong and the tentative hope of moving on, filled with regret and loss, but boasting an impish, worldly wise sensibility. “I tend to be a loner,” she nods. ‘Honey Bee’ is about a romance between two nonconformists who are different from the rest of the hive, and are trying to avoid the pressure to be like everybody else.”

“Just You and Me”, the first song she wrote on ukulele, has a 20’s New Orleans swing jazz vibe.

“I get my melodic feel from the simplicity of classic jazz, people singing what they felt with straightforward lyrics and not too many harmonies”, Zee says. “Just a lot of honesty. I’m a girl of simple pleasures.”

The elemental acoustic guitar of “Story of…” is enhanced with an Eno-like ambience that add to its shimmering quality, while “Poppy” is autobiographical “with a little bit of poetic license” that looks back at the demise of a two-year relationship.

“My stuff is pretty dark,” Zee admits. “Most of my songs are about the reality side of romance, outlets to vent my emotions.”

While her live experience amounts to playing gigs in Kuala Lumpur, Zee appeared this January on From the Basement, the U.K. TV webcast/broadcast that has featured Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Damien Rice, the White Stripes and the Shins. From the Basement will also air on the U.S.’s IFC Channel.

From Malaysia to Los Angeles, Zee Avi is enjoying the ride and ready to take on passengers. “I’m still pinching myself” she gushes. “My parents always told me it’s important to keep yourself grounded. I’m thankful, but at the same time, I just want to jump through the roof. It’s been a pretty amazing journey, getting to work with some really wonderful people, a blessing, really.”

Zee Avi’s Monotone/Brushfire Records debut returns that blessing…and then some.

Monotone Records is owned by Ian Montone, whose Monotone, Inc. manages the White Stripes, M.I.A., The Shins, Vampire Weekend, the Raconteurs, Against Me!, Cold War Kids, Crookers, among others.

Brushfire Records is owned by Jack Johnson and his manager Emmett Malloy and is home to artists like Rogue Wave, Matt Costa, Neil Halstead, Money Mark, G. Love, Mason Jennings, ALO and Zach Gill.

The Pokerface

Pokerface by Meryl Pearl Gallon and Them.

I'm not into Lady Gaga music.
But here the cover from Meryl.
You judge what you got.

What Do You Think?

I see that you think 

I think that you feel 

I feel that you want 

But I hear thee not, I 

I've borrowed a dictionary 

A to Z you hear my word

I am confused piles one thousand words 

Then you pull on the sleeve 

And where you want to go 

I hang on your legs 

If you ever fall on the mouth must 

Why will not my

It's crazy how beautiful you are silent 

How your pretty little head tilt 

And so loud the whole world and me 

The cold shoulder 

Your silence is your tent 

You put it in the middle of the World 

Margin, the chords and marvel 

Mute when 

At night, a girl falls below

At your feet I'm red 

To head and neck 

I want you in deep water 

Large waves 

Throw in my blood 

The endorphins bubbles 

If behind your silent 

Rabbit eyes, the thoughts racing

Just give me a word.

Bang Bang You're Dead

Bang Bang You're Dead.

I Hate You.
I Kill You.
You Die.
Goodbye.

Terima Kasih Tuhan

Betapa hatiku.
Berterima kasih Tuhan.
Kau mengasihiku.
Kau memiliku.
Hanya ini Tuhan persembahanku.
Segenap hidupku, jiwa dan ragaku.
Sebab tak kumiliki harga kekayaan.
Yang cukup bererti untuk kupersembahkan.
Hanya ini Tuhan permohonanku.
Terimalah Tuhan persembahanku.
Pakailah hidupku sebagai alatMu.
Seumur hidupku.

Aku mencintaimu sekarang dan selama-lamanya.

Us

I don’t want to see the world alone to take a chance on life again.
If I were to be your king and you are my queen on our throne
Forever rule the kingdom of our love together living in a bubble.
The days are never ending for US.
Close your eyes and think about the future coming our way but don't be scared
Brace up cause I see the fear that's coming out of your eyes.
Illusion is a plain imagination.
It’s just a mirage of the mind.
It’s fake and it’s so hard to find because I got to say this maybe it’s in your eyes.
It’s definitely in your smile because I just can go crazy losing it all and it will make me happy catching u fall.
Sweet dreams to you.
I'll say goodnight.
