Such Great Height (TB Updated)

Today task:
Dengar semua lagu dalam CD yang Chuck bagi a week ago.

List of albums:

#1 Arctic Monkey - "Humbug":

None was able to give me the goosebump feeling like "505" did when I listened to it for the first time. Even until now, lagu tu still berhantu. Tangan sure rasa seram sejuk kalau dengar and gives me the "butterflies in the stomach" kind of feeling, lepas tu layan sambil pejam mata.. ahhh! Anyway, if I have to choose one song out of all, I'll pick "Crying Lightning"..

Your past times consisted of
the strange and twisted and deranged..

#2 Garden State OST:

My pick: I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You by Colin Hay (gosh.. what a long title), Blue Eyes by Cary Brothers, Fair by Remy Zero (woot woot), Such Great Height (both versions), Let Go by Frou Frou (posted the lyrics months ago), Winding Road by Bonnie Somerville and lastly, Beautiful World by Coldplay (semua orang pun memang suka lagu ni kan ;p).

#3 - Muse - "The Resistance":

(to be updated)

#4 - Paramore - "Brand New Eyes":

Before this, tak pernah dengar the whole album. Just tahu lagu "Decode" which agak goosebump juga and membuatkan aku terasa nak main drum sambil menyanyi. Basically, I love the whole tracks and these are the Top 3 - "The Only Exception", "Decode" and "Misguided Ghosts".

"The Only Exception"
It kinda sounds like one of Avril's songs. Ah anyway, lagu ni sangat membuai-buai, banyak kali click button Replay. It starts out with an acoustic guitar melody that made me want to sway from side to side, exspecially when it reaches this part.. auwwww ;')

But darlin..
You, are, the only exception..
You, are, the only exception..
You, are, the only exception..

Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness

'Cause none of it was ever worth the risk, but..
You, are, the only exception

#5 - Regina Spektor - "Far":

Wow, she's wonderful and well, not bad at all. Easy music, powerful lyrics I may say. My Top 4 are "The Calculation", "Two Birds", "Dance Anthem of the 80's" and "Folding Chair". "Dance Anthem of the 80's" is soooooo darn cute, as cute as a button exspecially the intro part of the song..

Mm tt mm tt ahh
You-ou-ou-ou-ou a-a-a-are
So sw-ee-ee-ee-ee-eet
Da-a-a-a-an-ci-ing to the
Be-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-eat

#6 - She and Him - "Volume One":

(to be updated)

#7 - Sondre Lerche - "Heartbeat Radio":

(to be updated)

#8 - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "It's Blitz":

(to be updated)

Currently listening to Garden State OST, thanks Chucky for the CD! So far, I heart Fair by Remy Zero the most. Dan mungkin juga Sondre (I think so) sebab last time sangat jatuh cinta dengan lagu "Let My Love Open The Door". By the way, I'll be updating the reviews from time to time once I've done listening to the albums. In the meantime, mari layan Such Great Height. There are two versions, from Iron & Wine and The Postal Service.. and frankly speaking, I love both versions. :)

I am thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes
are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
that God himself did make us into
corresponding shapes like puzzles pieces from the clay

True, it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head
When you're away, when I am missing you to death

When you were out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

I've tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat sounded thin upon listening

That frankly will not fly
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down when this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll say...
