You could be happy

I have heard this song a thousand times, starting from the time I first heard it on Smallville (Promise-Season Six, Episode 16), but never really paid attention on the lyrics, never pondered that how deep they were.

Even if not seen in perspective of my, or anyone else's, life, these are some wonderful lyrics, as is the song.

You could be happy and I won't know 
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wish I had not said 
Are played in loops till it's madness in my head 

Is it too late to remind you how we were?
But not our last days of silent screaming blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure 
I should have stopped you from walking out the door 

You could be happy I hope you are 
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything i own, smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true 

Do the things that you always wanted to 
Without me there to hold you back don't think just do
More than anything I want to see you girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world. 

 Simply beautiful. 

There is another song I must mention, having wonderful lyrics (actually there are many more songs with lyrics perfectly soothing, its just that these two songs are coming to my mind right now). Its the title song of movie Have dreams, will travel, called Dreamin Aloud-

How do you speak in silence? 
Why do you speak when you're awake? 
If we just cut the tie-lines ,
then we can simply sail the way. 
Pack up you're things, write it all down, 
you'll soon be accustomed to the sound. 
Dreamin aloud...dreamin aloud....

I want to paint in colors, 
leaving the land black and white 
and if we do go back there 
we will see the day in light.
Ready to go, open the door 
just like the rainfalls from the cloud. 
Dreamin aloud...dreamin aloud.... 

Its a better day 
we are on our way 
it is anything you cant remember 
this is not just a dream.

Dont have to think about it, 
just like a river it will flow, 
we waited too long without it, 
if we just get up now and go. 
Open your eyes, and look around 
you'll be surprised what you've found. 
dreamin aloud..keep on dreamin...i am dreamin...dreamin aloud 
we are in our way...... 
keep on dreamin.


Now coming on the big news. Although something this big deserves its own entry, I was nonplussed that what would write about it, other than the main content, so I fused it in this one.

The news- Grand Theft Auto 4 is coming to PCs on 18th Nov (North America) and 21st Nov (Europe).

Its coming to us!!!!!!!!

And as I was about to finish the blog, this amazing song started playing in my playlist, which has some real deep lyrics too. Its Heartbeats, from Jose Gonzalez (and I came to know about it from the real great and super famous Sony Bravia's Color balls ad).

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away

Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razorblade

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief

Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

And you, you knew the hands of the devil
And you, kept us awake with wolf teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one night

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough.

Exams over.....the final phase of long running drama begins

Apart from the usual 'so great' announcement that the title does, of exams getting over, there is something else too. If the phrase 'long running drama' reminds of those mind blowing (and in a literal way) Ekta kapoor dramas full of evil women, then you're not alone. But what I am talking about here is more like...say House MD or Grey's anatomy. As soon as I say this, I know you know what I am talking about. But it is better we leave such topics at hospital only.

As soon as exams ended, the first thing I did was watching Smallville episodes I had missed. And believe me when I say this that this season is one of the best seasons of this awesome series.


Smallville is going better by each episode.


The best episode, without a shred of doubt, was 'Descent'. If there is one sentence to describe the episode, I would use- 'say hello to real Lex'. He is shaping up to be the real foe of Superman, the one eternal enemy whom all we Superman fans know as the most cunning of them all.
Some people didn't like 'Sleeper', but I liked it. It was more of a 'Chloe-Jimmy' affair, but there was nothing in it which I couldn't like. Sure, its always better Chloe sharing screen space with Clark rather than with Jimmy cause Chloe-Clark have best chemistry on the show, but a departure didnt hurt in my opinion.

And then, right before the big-bang of 'Descent', there was the return of 'Pete ross' in 'Hero'. It was a real treat to see him after a long time.

And while I am writing about Smallville, I am somehow reminding Hannah montana. I am not really a big fan of that show. I watch it because it contains some real good gigs from character Jackson. Otherwise, its a totally girlicious series. If there is one Disney show which I really like is Phil of the future.

Girlicious!!!!

Lets get back to games, our favorite topic- games. The biggest news is, of course, the release of Grand Theft Auto IV. The biggest entertainment release of the year, eclipsing even the biggest movie release, and expected to fetch 400 million dollars in first week only, this is gaming at its best. It is just too bad for me that it is not coming to PCs and I have to make the move to consoles yet.

This is gonna be HUGE!!!!!

Other than this huge game, there is another huge one coming out on June 12th. Once again for the pity of PC gamers like me, this PS3 exclusive is the biggest exclusive any console can get. It is the return of the series of that redefined not only stealth gaming, but gaming altogether. From the genius that is Kojima, it is the final installment of the legend of a series- Metal Gear solid IV: Guns of the patriots.

This thing will drive PS3 heights above others.

Previews have flown in and everyone who has played it is saying that this is the definitive Next gen experience. There is no doubt that the reviews will turn out to be stellar too.

I wanted to write many more things. About IPL, about Tibet and about many other things, but now I am too tired to write about them. Maybe I will write in next entry. And there will be an entry soon, centered on the new probable blossoming of love in my life. Stay tuned!!!!!
