Ok that sounded skanky. Haha. PUH-LEEZE forgive me for being an insufferable piece of wide-eyed bitch! I never meant to NOT update my blog! It's the TIME dammit, the TIME!
(That apology was particularly meant for me and Vuhnessah, probably the only other person who actually bothered to check it whenever she goes online *wide-eyes brimming with grateful tears*)
Ok San I know you do too. And Shermaine. Both of you, sometimes. So half a cheek for you guys. *muah muah*
Ok this is gonna be another blog full of the fabulous nautical nonsence that I ALWAYS spill out(ok, I watch Spongebob, so what?) BUT has been unfortunately left rotted in my brain for...few weeks the least.
I LOVE DANIEL JOHNS!!! (And that's saying something cuz I'm not a band-y kinda person and when I say I LIKE that band, well...I LIKE that band!
Them, then. *cutiepie!!*
Silverchair(!!)
A lil bit of Dissociatives
Muse
Peter Pan
Meet Uncle Hussain
The Fray
And maybe some others that I really can't recall cuz I'm more of a musical-cum-bigvoicesDOimpressme-cum raggae person. I really DO dance. Ziggy Marley, Bob Marley is just my weekly teh tarik kurang mains. Just *snaps fingers*. Jazz is good croak too. Cuz dad's from a Jazz band in his younger days. We've got a tenor sax, the old antique piano and flute at home. So the oldies are a close-to major part in my life. It's like 'Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors' now and 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' then. Haha.
But because I have a sister who's a band-y kinda person, Silverchair has got stuck to me like, do bees like honey? YES! I know every single lyric, tune and moon in their Diorama album. They're Creatures I tell yuh, a bunch of musical geniuses that strips all reality away at that moment and bring you to the brink of orgasm-Silverchair style. It turns u OHN babeh. They're not real. Just like Johnny Depp.
Them, now.*I bet he's got more chest hair V. Lookat his FACIAL hair!*
A laptop souvenir
Is worth its weight in a silver and golden sun
You'll be home again..
And I'll be home again.
Mend in my sleep
I'm boxing underwater
Waddle on the lake
A little torn part from the every-loving 'Across The Night'
'So take another pill
And tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies
Like tuna in the brine.'
From 'Tuna in the Brine'.
Effing genius shtuff, no? They-are-just-INdescribable. I love them with all my heart. They don't use any of those knobs that adjust voices or tunes in their albums. It's all live. Best thing is, they use an orchestra back-up in their songs which is fantabulistic cuz one moment you're like..closing your eyes enjoying the unbelievable trance and suddenly! suddenly the music bumps to a whole different mumbo jumbo and and the violins go all crazy you can't be but impressed at the scores! Goosebump-fied. The good, scary, somewhat a bit demonical type.
Talented skinny buffs. ALL notes written by Daniel freaking Johns. Sexy nut.
The thing that keeps me so awe-struck at their music is the lyrics. Its utter nonsence when u think thrice even, but when you delve in deeper....rub that major brilliance they have on them to your whole body and you're out of this world. You know. You just oh-Know. FEEL it..
Another example ok.
'Too much of not enough.'
'Please die Ana..
For as long as you're here, we're not
You make the sounds of laughter
Open fire on my needs designed
on my knees for you
Open fire on my needs desires
From 'Ana's Song', (Open Fire)
It's the words...plus his voice, ooh, his voice is like a drug. It is THE cocaine,weed, pot. It's gushblahbazeekos, it brings you to a whole new dimension and he croones it around and around and freaking manipulates your soul with it you'd feel it sinful to listen to his music (Bless him). Tambahkan his own original 3 piece band and the absolutely UH-MAzing orchestra touch at the background, you'd get a Sigur-Ros for Vanessa (when it's Silverchair for Hannah).
Everything about Silverchair (and Dissociatives) is original AND undescribable. Listen to their songs for the first time and you'd be surprised at the sudden 'jumping around' change of music in the SAME song and you'd wonder that the lyrics and everything have gone wayward but you listen...and listen...and listen....and you're in the moon.
'It was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night...I hugged a man's arthritic's shoulder'
Across the Night, again.
'Got my fever down, then weighed it up, and know the
Sounds remaining won't strain all the silt from my eyes
Bleach the green from the pastures, feast on the grey
Of the night, straight from the vines refusal to shine
You're my favourite thing, the one that I love
The one so I'd die for your love- (This part KILLS me)
Blind the deafened moon, stimulate the tombs of angels
I'll open my heart won't fall apart, don't fall apart
You're my favourite thing, and I feel like letting go'
You're My Favourite Thing.
I've got nothing else to say. You can listen to this shyt in your sleep and it'll drift you off the shirtless Daniels Land. Listen to it in the train and you hum and be the irritant of the mob. Miss your stop. Lend your ears to him in the forest and you go swishing in the flow of the river. You're out of your body. You're out of control. But yet you AREN'T.
But you know, That's just it lar kan. I haven't got their new album cuz Mr. Johns moved Dissociatives (a much more intense Silverchair with whacked-out lyrics) and I didn't hear anything bout them till another Silverchair fan came up to me and said some blah blah blah and I found out they're back together making more magic with those brains of theirs.
I didn't get their 'Mind Reader' album. Sigh sigh. Daniel Johns has short hair now. He's got such a maniacal aura. I hate Natalie.
Oh I miss Silverchair.

Aaaah...see?? Not that hard once you get started kan?
A freakin' ode to Daniel Johns (Is he the brother of the other Mr.Johns on American Idol, by any chance?)
[oh this suuuper sucks. Youtube isn't working. I can't watch videos. Is it just me?Or is the youtube server itself down?]
But I am impressed. I am now interested enough to go listen to some of this Silverchair shytz. Your passion and obvious love and very convincing lyrical examplia gratas have convinced me to a least give these skinny buggers a try. I am sad to say that I occassionaly suffer from cases of music snobbery, when I go around believing my moosic is better than other people's music (aaah PHOOK my flashplayer is out).
I will be back with my thoughts on this SilverKerusi.
Ah Ok. OK. Ok.
I sempat download Ana's Song just before my connection went sucky.
I like it.
No no..even more. You know what type of song that is? [oooh i smell cucumber!]. No wait..you know what kinda song that is? I don't LOVE it [yet]. It's the sorta song that I'll listen to when it pops up on the paylist, and then it'll sorta seeeep into my subconscious sikit demi sikit sampai one day I'll be playing that song in my head for hours on end until i suddenly realize "eh eh SILVERCHAIR la!"
Hang on my connection dah balik..better go catch it before it goes away again--
Reflections Of A sound is bwerry bwerry nice.
Me liking MrJohns' voice ere
Og gawd. There's this guy on MSN right? He kept pestering me for a picture.He seemed nice and all,then he asked me what size my cups are.
@%$&*?!!!
I told him it's for me to know and you to never find out.
And then he goes.."people like you..it's all about the mentality. If you were in singapore, if i asked a girl that, she'd answer. It's about being open-minded".
Hannah? Hmm???
And then I told him, "so your point is that if i answer every random stranger who askes me for my fucking cup size, it means i have an open-minded mentality? Isn't that some warped kinda logic?" and the bastard goes offline.
Jerks.
I have to go hit something. Being harassed right before lunch is NOT my thing.
everything about their song's unpredictable isn't it? sigh.i LUUUURVE his voice. oooh.
n yeah, silverchair has got that effect on ppl. their songs seeps in subconciously like a freaky lintah n b4 u know it its in your body n ur mind. or like that orangey stuff in 'dreamcatcher'-stephen king. read it.
anywway try listening to 'i miss you love' and 'tuna in the brine'.
'you brighten my life like a polystrene hat
but it melts in the sun like the life without love
and i've waited for you so i'll keep moving on without youuuuuu...'
that's 'without you'
'straight lines'...alah download the whole shyt. its worth listening.
anyway what a fuckin bugger that bugger is! THIS is exactly the kind of person that's NOT open-minded cuz his mind is sooo bloody limited to labelling girls from where they come from. n that's the total really ulu man. *spits on floor*
eh tak payah layan org mcm ni lah. buang masa je. takde standard untuk org machiam yeww tau.
i'm still silverchairing away.
Dreamcatcher!! Isn't it soo disgustingly COOL?? I just kept going "EWWW!" and "WHOAAA" the whole time. You should read Bag Of Bones as well. That's awesomeness.
Oh and and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. And The Shining. And aaannd Skeleton Crew.And Carrie. And Needful Things. And Delores Clairborne.And my favourite, 'Salems Lot.I had a morbid fear of windows for about a month after that.Heck read everything the King has ever written OK? Except his most recent ones; his attempts at fantasy adventure, macam Tolkien and Gaiman. Me no really digg those.
Oooh I like straight lines! That's the video that putme off.the chest hair and whatnot.
Yes I have deleted the fuckin bugger from my contacts list. He ees History. I am way too good for such vermin who trawl through cyberspace and take up my Internet.
yes yes i like reading ur blog la. heheheheh
