Till There Was You

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Till there was you

All My Love

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end.

For many hours and days that pass ever soon
the tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?

* Chorus:
All of my love,
all of my love,
All of my love to you,now. (repeat)

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Arianne, one word, my will to sustain

For me, the cloth once more to spin

Chorus

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind

Chorus

In My Life

Artist: The Beatles
Album : Rubber Soul
Title: In My Life

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All this places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life-- I love you more

If you Love Somebody

"If You Love Somebody Set Them Free"
singer: Sting

If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me

If you love somebody, set them free

If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be

If you love somebody, set them free

You can't control an independent heart
Can't tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
We can't live here and be happy with less
So many riches, so many souls
Everything we see we want to possess

If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me

If you love somebody, set them free


wiki-notes:
"If You Love Somebody Set Them Free"

is the first single released from Sting's solo debut album The Dream of the Blue Turtles. It is also the opening track of the album, and is featured on Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984-1994 as well as The Very Best of Sting & The Police. The song's title refers to an aphorism by Richard Bach.[citation needed]
[edit] Song information

Like much of the album, the song has heavy jazz influences, and was a major hit, peaking at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, number one on the US Album Rock Tracks chart for three weeks, number 17 on the US R&B chart[1], and number 26 on the UK Singles Chart.

Live performances of the song are featured on the DVD edition of Bring On the Night and on the CD and DVD editions of ...All This Time.

A portion of the song was later used for Sting's 1987 hit "We'll Be Together" from ...Nothing Like the Sun.

The song was also performed at The Brits in February 1995 with M People. He duetted on the song with the band's lead singer, Heather Small and this track was given the dance treatment by the band who were also backed by a 100-strong Gospel Choir at the Earls Court Arena during the annual music awards show.

Sting said that he wrote the song as an "antidote" to the Police's 1983 song "Every Breath You Take."

Memang Selalu Demikian,(Kata Taufiq Ismail 1966)

Ada sebuah sajak Taufiq Ismail yang sangat populer, ditulis Taufiq Ismail, di tengah kekisruhan politik 1966 yang memunculkan Tritura dan melahirkan Orde Baru. Judulnya, "Seorang Tukang Rambutan Pada Isterinya."

"…Ya. Mahasiswa-mahasiswa itu. Anak-anak sekolah / Yang dulu berteriak: dua ratus, dua ratus! / Sampai bensin juga turun harganya / Sampai kita bisa naik bis pasar yang murah pula / Mereka kehausan karena panas bukan main / Terbakar mukanya di atas truk terbuka / Saya lemparkan sepuluh ikat rambutan kita, bu / Biarlah sepuluh ikat juga / Memang sudah rejeki mereka / Mereka berteriak kegirangan dan berebutan / …/ Dan ada yang turun dari truk, bu / Mengejar dan menyalami saya / "Hidup rakyat!", teriaknya / Saya dipanggul dan diarak-arak sebentar/ …/ "Hidup Pak Rambutan, hidup rakyat!" / Saya tersedu, bu. Belum pernah seumur hidup / Orang berterima-kasih begitu jujurnya / Pada orang kecil seperti kita".

Sajak itu menginspirasikan banyak hal pada kita. Bahwa ada saatnya, pada suatu masa, semua orang bergerak dalam kebersamaan. Semua orang mengambil perannya sendiri-sendiri, memberikan kontribusinya sendiri-sendiri, dengan caranya sendiri-sendiri. Untuk sesuatu yang diyakini bersama, untuk tujuan yang hendak dicapai bersama.
Tidak pernah lagi lahir sajak seperti itu. Karena tidak pernah lagi lahir kejadian yang sejenis. Berapa banyak gerakan advokasi dan demonstrasi mahasiswa sejak 1966. Tapi tak ada yang mengabarkan pada kita bagaimana interaksinya dengan Pak Rambutan-Pak Rambutan yang disaksikan Taufiq Ismail.

Barangkali karena situasinya memang berbeda. Di masa itu, mahasiswa tahu betul bahwa mereka bergerak dengan dukungan Angkatan Darat. Dan di masa itu, militer punya kepedulian terhadap masalah yang dihadapi rakyat: tidak tercatat adanya tentara yang diturunkan untuk menggusur tanah orang, misalnya.

Tapi barangkali juga, karena di masa itu mahasiswa memang memiliki sensitifitas untuk menangkap hati nurani rakyat. Juga 1966 itu barangkali suatu masa, di mana terdengar suara dari seorang ibu seperti yang bisa terbaca di sajak Taufiq Ismail yang lain, "Dari Ibu Seorang Demonstran" (1966) : Ibu telah merelakan kalian / Untuk berangkat demonstrasi / Karena kalian pergi menyempurnakan / Kemerdekaan negeri ini / Ya, ibu tahu, mereka tidak menggunakan gada / Atau gas air mata / Tapi peluru tajam…

Di zaman ini ada sajak Wiji Thukul: "Hanya ada satu kata: lawan!" yang jadi kalimat semua aktivis mahasiswa. Tapi berapakah "semua" itu? Lima puluh, seratus, dua ratus, atau paling banyak lima ratus orang saja terlibat, jika ada demonstrasi mahasiswa. Dua puluh ribu mahasiswa bisa memang turun berjuang, tapi hanya jika isyunya agama: kasus Monitor dan kasus SDSB. Entah apa yang membuat mahasiswa bisa demikian sensitifitas mengendus isyu SARA, tapi tidak terhadap isyu yang menyangkut penderitaan nyata umat manusia Indonesia.

Yang jelas di semua zaman, di 28, di 45, di 66, di masa ini, di masa depan, selalu terjadi apa yang dituliskan Taufiq Ismail, dalam satu lagi sajaknya, "Memang Selalu Demikian, Hadi":

Setiap perjuangan selalu melahirkan
Sejumlah pengkhianat dan para penjilat
Jangan kau gusar, Hadi

Setiap perjuang selalu menghadapkan kita
Pada kaum yang bimbang menghadapi gelombang
Jangan kau kecewa, Hadi

Setiap perjuangan yang akan menang
Selalu mendatangkan pahlawan jadi-jadian
Dan para jagoan kesiangan

Memang demikianlah halnya, Hadi

Edith Piaf - La Vie En Rose

Des yeux qui font baiser les miens,
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche,
Voila le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens

chorus:
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas,
Je vois la vie en rose.

Il me dit des mots d'amour,
Des mots de tous les jours,
Et ca me fait quelque chose.

Il est entre dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause.

C'est lui pour moi. Moi pour lui
Dans la vie,
Il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie.

Et des que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat

Des nuits d'amour a ne plus en finir
Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place
Des enuis des chagrins, des phases
Heureux, heureux a en mourir.

chorus:
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas,
Je vois la vie en rose.

Il me dit des mots d'amour,
Des mots de tous les jours,
Et ca me fait quelque chose.

Il est entre dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause.

C'est toi pour moi. Moi pour toi
Dans la vie,
Il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie.

Et des que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat
