On the same day during lunch time at a Viet restaurant in San Jose I accidently ran into a long lost friend, and if I remember correctly, last time we hung out was 5+ years ago. A little introduction here and there lead us to find out that we were going to the same karaoke/book signing party later on the day at The Mint in San Francisco...>> (fast forward)...By popular demand I signed up to sing one song and before I was able to perform such an adventurous task, I finished 2 glasses of beer to boost my confidence level up by at least 5x. When it was my turn, the bar was really packed with the after gay pride parade goers and at the moment, I realized that what I liked and signed to sing wasn't something that the audience wanted to hear but I did follow through and finished my piece. Smooth jazzy ("I love you for sentimental reasons" by Nat King Cole) and pop/rock just didn't go well together. That was something to make a note for myself if there's a karaoke party next time. Just hope it won't be so soon.

Gavin Rossdale - Love Remains The Same

-D-

Here are the lyrics:

a thousand times i've seen you standing 
gravity like a lunar landing 
make me want to run till i find you 
shut the world away from here, drift to you, you're all i hear 
everything we know fades to black 

half the time the world is ending, truth is i am done pretending 

i never thought that i had any more to give 
pushing me so far here i am without you 
drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made 
everything will change, love remains the same 

find a place where we escape 
take you with me for a space 
a city bus that sounds just like a fridge 
walk the streets through seven bars 
i had to find just out where you are 
the faces seem to blur they're all the same 

half the time the world is ending, truth is i am done pretending 

i never thought that i had any more to give 
you're pushing me so far here i am without you 
drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made 
everything will change, love remains the same 

so much more to say, so much to be done 
don't you trick me out, we shall overcome 
cause our love stays ablaze 

we should have had the sun 
could have been inside 
instead we're over here 

half the time the world is ending, truth is i am done pretending 
too much time to love defending, you and i are done pretending 

i never thought that i had any more to give 
you're pushing me so far here i am without you 
drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made 
everything will change, everything will change 

i, oh, i, i wish 

this could last forever 

i, oh, i, as if 

we could last forever 

love remains the same 
love remains the same

Agradecidas sim? :P
