"Take me to your place where our hearts belong together. I will follow you. 'Cause you're the reason that I breath. I'll come running to you. Fill me with your love forever. Promise you one thing that I will never let you go. 'Cause you are my everything."

Can’t decide which one is my most favorite but maybe Breakaway which also soundtrack for Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement. It would give you courage and spirit for running this life. A Moment Like This is good too. Because of You’s lyrics are so sad yet pretty. Since You Been Gone and Behind These Hazel Eyes will give you such a good spirit to move on. And Kelly’s technique while singing I’ll Be Home for Christmas and her whistlings in some songs are really awesome! Well, all songs are truly good indeed ;)
I’m not a type of person who has difficulties in giving a perfect score for something I think really good. So for this great album, I give 5 out of five stars! (5/5)
Scarborough Fair is one among famous classical-traditional ballads in the world. It comes from Great Britain - precisely Yorkshire, and been popular since 18th century. It was named after Scarborough, a small town on the coast of England. The "Scarborough Fair" was a popular gathering in Medieval times, attracting traders and entertainers from all over the country. The fair lasted 45 days and started every August 15th. In the 1600s, mineral waters were found in Scarborough and it became a resort town. Today, Scarborough is a quiet town with a rich history. In Medieval England, this became a popular folk song as Bards would sing it when they traveled from town to town. The song itself, had been rewritten, modified, and adapted for so many times that the original version is yet unknown.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Remember me to one who lives there,
For once she was a true love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Without a seam or needlework,
She will be a true love of mine.
Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Where never spring water or rain ever fell,
She will be a true love of mine.
Tell her to dry it on yonder grey thorn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born,
She will be a true love of mine.
Now he has asked me questions three,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
I hope he'll answer as many for me
Before he shall be a true love of mine.
Tell him to buy me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Betwixt the salt water and the sea sand,
Then he shall be a true love of mine.
Tell him to plough it with a ram's horn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
And sow it all over with one pepper corn,
And he shall be a true love of mine.
Tell him to shear it with a sickle of leather,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
And bind it up with a peacock feather.
And he shall be a true love of mine.
Tell him to thrash it on yonder wall,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
And never let one corn of it fall,
Then he shall be a true love of mine.
When he has done and finished his work.
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme:
Oh, tell him to come and he'll have his shirt,
And he shall be a true love of mine.
(Scarborough Fair, 1889 - Modern version)
This song is often sung duet. It's a tale about a young man who asks his former love some impossible tasks, such as making him a cambric shirt without a seam and needlework; washing it in a dry spring where water or rain never fell; and dry it in yonder grey thorn where plants always blossom there, and he will take her back again once she completes these task in return.
And the woman answer his demands with some equally impossible tasks too: Buy her an acre of land between the salt water and sea sand (does that mean a beach?); plough it with ram's horn and sow it all over with one pepper corn; shear it with a sickle of leather and bind it up with a peacock feather; thrash it on yonder wall and never let any corn fall, and once he completes these task she will give him that shirt without a seam and needlework he asks her to make.
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme are famously known in myth as ingredients of the witches' love potion.
* Parsley : Parsley is still prescribed by phytotherapists today to people who suffer from bad digestion. Eating a leaf of parsley with a meal makes the digestion of heavy vegetables such as spinach a lot easier. It was said to take away the bitterness, and medieval doctors took this in a spiritual sense as well.
* Sage : Sage has been known to symbolize strength for thousands of years.
* Rosemary : Rosemary represents faithfulness, love and remembrance. Ancient Greek lovers used to give rosemary to their ladies, and the custom of a bride wearing twigs of rosemary in her hair is still practiced in England and several other European countries today. The herb also stands for sensibility and prudence. Ancient Roman doctors recommended putting a small bag of rosemary leaves under the pillow of someone who had to perform a difficult mental task, such as an exam. Rosemary is associated with feminine love, because it’s very strong and tough, although it grows slowly.
* Thyme : According to legend, the king of fairies dances in the wild thyme with all of the fairies on mid summer night; that’s the best known legendary appearance of the herb. But the reason Thyme is mentioned here is that it symbolizes courage. At the time this song was written, knights used to wear images of thyme in their shields when they went to combat, which their ladies embroidered in them as a symbol of their courage.
Or in simple way, parsley was comfort, sage was strength, rosemary was love, and thyme was courage.
Both man and woman in this ballad invoke said powers in naming these herbs: Mildness to soothe the bitterness of their relationship, spiritual strength to endure being apart from each other, faithfulness and lastly encouragement, to fulfill the impossible tasks given.
Some people also believe that this song and its story are actually represent the condition of Great Plague that happened on the late Middle Age (medieval); some take it as a riddle where in this song appears a big question like why does lovers who seem to be deeply in love give such impossible missions to do for each other where they can actually be together so easily? Or why parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme? Some answer that maybe the woman has died or leave him unexpectedly where he can't forget her until that time he sings the song or when he goes to the Scarborough Fair and always remembers her. Do he want her back from death?
Well, it's still a mystery. Anyhow, Scarborough Fair is one of the most beautiful songs ever.
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I'll live as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And if, by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
Yo, I'm taking a day off today. I spend morning by watching movies and browsing. I was watching 'Special A' when suddenly I remember some animes I used to watch when I was a kid. I didn't watch TV a lot though but still able to remember pretty clearly those soundtrack. Anyway, here we go, my most favorite anime ending Ost.
1. Sexy Sexy (Ghost at School Ost.)
Until even now, I still don't get the meaning of 'sexy sexy' in this song. But that's somewhat funny :))
2. Ne, Nande? (Trouble Chocolate Ost.)
Such a deeply sad song. Very meaningful though. Sometimes I burst into tears while listening to this song. Hinano (the main female character) has undoubtedly beautiful smile. I use her picture to my Y!M avatar until now.
3. Snow Flower (Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar)
OMG it's very beautiful.
Well, I think that's all for now. I will update this post later when I find the others.
So, have a nice day, guys!
I'll be looking at my window seeing Adelaide sky / Would you be kind enough to remember / I'll be hearing my own foot steps under Adelaide sky / Would you be kind enough to remember me
I'll let you know what's on my mind / I wish they've made you portable / Then I'll carry you around and round / I bet you'll look good on me
I'll be looking at my window seeing Adelaide sky / Would you be kind enough to remember / I'll be hearing my own foot steps under Adelaide sky / Would you be kind enough to remember me
I've been meaning to call you soon / But we're in different times / You might not be home now / Would you take a message / I'll try to stay awake / And fight your presence in my head
I'll be looking at my window seeing Adelaide sky
Would you be kind enough to remember
I'll be hearing my own foot steps under Adelaide sky
