Free Falling

I liked the song 'Free Falling' since I heard it for the first time. The song is sung by Tom Petty in his 1989 solo album ‘Full Moon Fever’. It has been on various charts for a long time now and even Tom Petty considers it to be one of his all time favorite song. According to internet sources, it all started with the producer Jeff Lynne while he was playing his keyboard using only three chords, where Tom Petty started to sing along with the chords. Finally, they reached to the completion of the first song of their album. They wrote the song together.

The song starts slowly as follows:

“She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day, livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway, runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin’”

The song conveys the message of his level of successes in his life and it is a truly inspiring song. It describes about the sad romance and emotions. It’s a song that I listen to whenever I feel lonely and depressed. It helps me out and of course other songs work out too.

It’s ending like this:

“And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
And I'm free, free fallin'
Oh!
Free fallin'
And I'm free, oh! free fallin'”

‘Free fallin’ has a strictly impeded meaning, which the object falling has no force acting upon it and it should be coming down. If object goes up probably it should be ‘free rising’ or ‘free flying’. Probably, I would like to be free flying or am I thinking too much! Whatever, the song is great! And of course Tom Petty!

There is Rock in Korea

I didn’t hear much about the rock scene in Korea until I watched the show ‘Rock on Korea’ on Arirang. Initially all I thought was that there is no rock, no metal in Korea. But there is rock in Korea!

It’s not that only K-Pop exists in Korea, in fact the evolution of K-Kop was triggered by the Korean rock bands of 1950’s. After the World War II, the rock music in Korea started. 

The band members are old now, they hardly sing, but they listen to the modern rock music though. They were the talented guys, they learned themselves, they played for the 8^th US Army, they were the starters and they were the legends of rock and K-pop in Korea. 

In 1950’s they were so famous in Korea just like the Big Bang is now.  They loved to play the music by Santana and The Beatles. They are the ‘4 Add’,  'Shin Jung-hyoen' and the other band members.

The 8^th US Army in Korea was the main audience to the rock music played by the Koreans. Those armies encouraged the rock music players, where they released various albums. The albums would mostly certainly contain blend of Korean traditional and western rock music. 

The bands were so perfect that even if those band members play together with Elvis Presley, they would make no mistake.  That was the standard of rock scenario in 1950’s. 

The younger generations tend to sing those old rock hits to the taste of modern rock music. They maintain their ancestry and try to reach those songs to the modern Korea. There are now many rock and metal bands, they rock the Koreans as K-Pop does globally.  

The rock music in Korea has come a long way now and it gave birth to different genres like K-Pop. It all started with the US in Korea and now the Koreans rock US and the world with the Gangnam Style.

Get fooled!

           

We know more when we feel it!

Just like when we get fooled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lately I have desperately pondered,

Spent my night awake and wondered,

What could I have done in another way

Just to make you stay.

There’s no enough space in this world for tears to drop,

But I still carry a hope,

That I will smile one day, like you do now,

When I learn to live without you,

I take a inch, when you take a mile,

It’s miles away, when I opened my eyes,

Just like I am miles away behind you.

Take a look around and find fire burning inside of me,

And wonder how it feels like when it gets fueled up,

You walked a way strangely,

But I guess everything always happens for a reason.

Was a time when I wasn't sure

But you set my mind at ease

There is no doubt

You're out of  my life now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had a time when I saw sunshine warming me up,

It cared me and it loved me but no longer,

Sometimes I wish that sunshine would come back,

You are that sunshine!

We can learn from the past and we learned,

But those days are gone and m alone.

All this emotions without solution rocks the show,

Waiting for this moment to go,

But who knows,

It might last forever, whatever, it’s only a thing to remember.

The moment we laughed, the moment we cried, everything seems like a dream,

Sometimes I wish that we ll wake up and this all just be a dream.

Everything seems to be waiting for the good times to come back again,

Until I deal with this never ending pain.

So, saying the lords name,

I hope the life’s staying the same to end this game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whatever, if you are happy,

I am happy for you.

Even if you are sad again and again in your life,

Just be strong,

Like I am now.

Hey Baby Girl

                                                                                                                                                  16.05.10

When everything is meant to be changing, the thing left behind with you, is u and your tears.

Just read,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found the changes in your eyes,

Saying that you wanna leave everything behind,

I found the changes in you taking things in the ways, that are not supposed to be,

But I’ll be there for you in every change you make, every step you take and every smile you fake,

And I’ll be there for you, this I confess from the rest of my heart.

From my balcony one night,

I saw you my baby, kissing with a stranger yo!

I was like, “yo! Wat up?”.

Hey my baby, that’s what I’ve been missing, your kiss ho.

Sick of crying,

Tired of trying,

Yeah! I am smiling,

But, inside I am dying.

Yo! To my surprise, she was like ‘she wanna be with me forever’.

But I paid no heed, for sure we wouldn’t be together.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For sure my lady is not mine, in times, kissing wouldn’t be no crime.

So I let her go in times to come.

Listen up yo!

I met a girl from my high school, sometime in 2004.

With a white blouse in an angelic look.

She lived down the street next to my door.

In February, 2010 she came up with a card and said ‘she would be my valentine’.

I couldn’t believe my eyes, she would be mine.

So I gave rest of my heart.

The very next day I called her just to find out my friend answer ‘Hello”,

I was like “yo! Wat up? ”.

I gotta know why she was acting strange towards him.

I thought couple of times and couldn’t believe,

So I went up to her to find them kissing,

Now, I was like, “yo! Wat the hell? “.

!!!END!!!

Outta myself

I don’t wanna know, wat up, wid dis game

Cuz I don’t need no fame, no not shame

Lyf tried to tame,  but I be da same.

Cuz I am, der to say Lord’s name.

Dey tried to put me down beneath the ground,

But I landed perfectly sounded lyk I intended.

Yea, dat was a ma intention to b unda cova,

U kno wat? I feel completely secure wen m down wid nothing to loose,

I get da freedom to do wat dey don’t want me to do, dough.

I don’t need u to feel ma flow, cuz m on da go,

To make maself feel so low,

Unfortunately, dats ma lullaby, yo.

Dat’s ok, cuz I don’t know, until I get da blow,

Wid dat all growling  Metal heads around me,

Makes ma lil’ rap thing flee, see, ma baby, who made me free,

Wasn’t enough of dat s***.

N for sure it woke me up into a different world,

Where I find m da only one to smile, even tough it’s fake,

Tryna b da happiest person out der, I try to take ma pain away dat I make, for ma own sake.

I don’t wanna find maself wer m I slipin,

Cuz I m slipin….Slipin…flipin….creepin……outta maself.

 ~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel m callin maself inside out “wer r u?”

I m wer I m, I say, “wer da hell r u?”

Ma consciene always tell meh dat ma fren should make his way up,

He made his way up until he got all da attention, which messed him up.

Den he tried to fall,

But he din’t get any way at all,

Da world seems so small,

Fortunately, he gotta lord’s name to call, so he fell,

But m da one who’s fallen, yea it’s meh who’s fallen.

It’s kinda hard for meh to imagine dat m nowhere,

Cuz I can’t find maself holdin ma own flag ova.

Feelin da way I feel I feel maself unda

Wanna watch da game play by such a playa,

N I played, I played til I saw whole lotta hell raisa.

Yea, it’s raisa pulling meh down,

So dat dey can make demselve peacefully mourn,

But I’ ma b on ma way on n on.
