Guess what, guess what! I’m going to see Jake performing LIVE!! I discovered it by accident. Yesterday, I decided to write something about this artist Jake Shimabukura, the Japanese miracle on the ukulele from Honolulu-Hawaii, because I think he’s totally awesome. I saw him for the first time when following the 2010 TED conference live stream a couple of weeks ago and was caught by his music. So I looked at his official website hoping to find some relevant information to write the piece. Clicked the tour section and saw that it would be possible to see him playing live!! Omg, isn’t that great! A wave of excitement went through my body. I love it when I can combine my traveling with events like this. For once, I am in the right place on the right time! This will be MY night out! Let’s kick some ass!

Ain’t No Doubt
JIMMY NAIL

She says ‘it’s not you – it’s me
I need a little time, a little space
a place to find myself again you know?’
oh yes, I know a goodbye when I hear it
she smiles
but her heart’s already out there
walking down the street

she says
‘I don’t want nobody else, I love you’
she’s lying
‘there won’t be somebody else, and that’s true’
she’s lying
‘say you’ll always be my friend, sweet darling’
why does she pretend?

ain’t no doubt, it’s plain to see
a woman like you is no good for me
your heart’s beating at another door
I’m a damned fool for to ask for more

she says
‘it’s like in a song, remember?
“if you love someone, set them free”
well, that’s how it is for me
but you know i’ll always come back
and then she kisses me
and somewhere I hear a door slam
so I say ‘fine’
and just hope that I’m a better liar
than she is

~ Feel good song from my child hood ~ This song is ohhh so wrong!!

To The Moon And Back
SAVAGE GARDEN

Shes taking her time,
making love the reason,
to justify all the hurt inside,
Yes she knows from the smells and the look in their eyes,
everyones got a theory ’bout the bitter one,
they’re sayin’
Mum never loved her much and… Daddy never keeps in touch,
thats why she shys away from human affection, but,
Somewhere in a private place,
she packs her bag for outer space,
and now she waiting for the right kind of pilot to come….

(and she’ll say to him)
Shes sayin’
I’d love flying to the moon and back,
if you’ll be,
if you’ll be my baby…
Got a ticket for a world where we belong,
so will you be my baby….

She can remember a time,
Where she felt needed,
If love was red then she was colourblind,
All her friends had been tried for treason,
and crimes that we never define,
shes sayin’,
Love is like a barren place, and,
reaching out for human faith is,
Like a journey i just dont have a map for, so…
Baby gonna take a dive, and,
we’ll shift to overdrive and,
send a signal that shes hangin’ all her hopes on the stars…

(what a pleasant dream)
shes sayin’
I would fly to the moon and back if you’ll be,
If you’ll be my baby,
Got a ticket for a world where we belong,
so will you be my baby….

If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn’t change a single thing
Cos if I changed my world into another place
I wouldn’t see your smiling face

I started taking singing classes this week just for fun. I guess that’s a follow up on my famous Beatles performance in 2007 at KLM And I discovered I can still read the notes.. Yay! Lucky me!
