Back to Basic

Well, well, well... It's 2pm or so and we're waiting for our movie at 10 min before 5pm. What should we do???

While we're walking through the mall, our eyes fell into the store "Pondok Pujian". Hummm.. I don't feel like buying anything, I'm not looking for anything and I'm hungry. Should we just go for our late lunch? Or should we go in? Humm.. I don't know what to eat.. Ah well... Let's just browse for a bit. Maybe we'll be out in 10-15 min then we can fuss about where to eat.

We went in. Looking around. Humm.. Hillsongs got lots of albums. Franky Sihombing. Chris Rice? Interesting. A few days ago there's somekind of a "Rice Song" in that quiz I made in FB. Is that this Rice? No, I don't think so.... Oh well.. Let's look around first...

And so we ended up staying a while and listening to songs. Some of them are MercyMe, Paul Baloche, Lincoln Brewster and Mark Harris's album. Everythings turns out sounds really great and I'm really interested in buying them all!!! (Thank God it's Indo and it's in Rp and it's cheaper! Lol. So tempted to just download them though. Lol). Anyway, after deciding which one to buy (though decisions) and were just on our way to pay, our eyes fell into that Chris Rice's CD again. "What A Heart Is Beating For". Hummm.... Somehow it's like calling me like, "pick me up, pick me up"... And the album title's catchy too... So curiosity wins... Opening up the CD cover and reading the lyrics of the first song "So Much For My Sad Song". Wow, isn't this supposed to be a 'religious' song??? What's up with that title?

Curiosity increases...

"The first thought through my sleepy head. When I fell out of my bed. Is "I hope the sky is gray. I'm gonna write a sad song today.""

Errrr... Interesting... Kinda sounds like me.... Though not in a writing song kind of way...

"So I make up my mind, slip on my shoes. I'm gonna pick up a paper and read the news. Cause I'm sure to find plenty 'nuff blues. To write my sad songs. But when I open the door and the sun spills through. Takes away my breath and I think of you. And the only blues to hit my eyes. Are those beautiful blues in the clear blue sky!"

Damnit!! I knew it!! I shouldn't check the CD out... I don't have enough cash with me!!! This is a bad sign, badddd sign... I'm really interested in this thing. No good for the health of my wallet... Well... What to dooo?? Should I check out the songs?? Looking at the CD box, the CD's gone. Heh? Gone? Where is it? Ahh.. She's played it already....

I looked at her, she looked at me... Smiling, she just silently put the big headphone in my head. "You're gonna love this" Uh oh.... And I listened to it.

Damnit!!! I'm gonna have to buy this thing. Oh no! After all those time I spent listening to the whole album of the other CDs, am I gonna buy this CD just because of the lyrics of the first song and a min listening to it??? No wayy!!!

I'm buying this CD no matter what. I just have to have it...!!!

Abd so I bought it. And loving it....

Chris Rice's What's a heart beating for...

His songs are catchy. Kinda reminding me of Mraz's style though not as catchy (the songs). And the lyrics are mostly kinda symbolic and really interesting. Ahhh... It's been awhile... Since the last time I fell in love... With a song... Hahaha..


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oooo.. I just heard the whole album while reading the lyrics. Wow.. I love them all! Not even one I think is weird or you know, I don't really like. That's something isn't it? Plus some of the songs kinda jazzy... Lalalala... But sometimes the lyrics confused me of the meaning. The guy's too symbolic... But they're still nice songs ^^ Banzaaiii...
