Suatu hari Dikala kita duduk ditepi pantai
Dan memandang ombak dilautan yang kian menepi
Burung camar terbang bermain diderunya air
Suara alam ini hangatkan jiwa kita
Sementara sinar surya perlahan mulai tenggelam
Suara gitarmu mengalunkan melodi tentang cinta
Ada hati membara erat bersatu
Getar seluruh jiwa tercurah saat itu
Kemesraan ini… janganlah cepat berlalu
Kemesraan ini… inginku kenang selalu
Hatiku damai… jiwaku tentram disamping mu
Hatiku damai… jiwa ku tentram bersamamu
jangan berakhir aku tak ingin berakhir
satu jam saja kuingin diam bersama
mengenang yang pernah ada
jangan berakhir karena esok takkan lagi
satu jam saja hingga kurasa bahagia
mengakhiri segalanya
jangan berakhir kuingin sebentar lagi
satu jam saja ijinkan aku merasa kisah kita pernah ada..
*nggak mau pisaaaahhhhh*
Okay, after David Cook, here comes David Archuleta. A 17 years old boy who greatly take America’s breath away.
David Archuleta was born in Miami, Florida to James Jeffrey Archuleta and Lupe Marie Archuleta. He has three younger siblings, Amber, Daniel and Jazzy, and an older sister, Claudia. Archuleta’s family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah when Archuleta was thirteen and currently lives in Murray, Utah, where Archuleta is a student at Murray High School. The only regular job he has had was over the summer of 2007 as a sound “techie” at a park amphitheater. He once suffered partial vocal paralysis but refrained from risky surgery and feels he is almost fully recovered.
Archuleta started singing when he was six because he was inspired by a Les Misérables video. “That musical is what started all of this,” he said. He started performing publicly at ten years old when he participated in the Utah Talent Competition singing “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton; he received a standing ovation, and won the kid division.
Archuleta’s mother is from Honduras, and much of the music he listened to as a child, according to an interview aired on American Idol, was Latin-influenced. She also “was big on dancing” according to Archuleta, and would “make” him dance to traditional music with his older sister. He also listened to jazz music, he said, from his father’s collection as well as gospel, pop, rock and “soulful music”. In a later interview he also revealed that his dad was a jazz musician. Archuleta also enjoys Broadway musicals.
On his American Idol “Fast Facts” page, Archuleta cites his musical influences as Natalie Cole, Stevie Wonder, Kirk Franklin and Bryan Adams. When asked to list his top pop artists, he cites Natasha Bedingfield, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Adams, Kirk Franklin, and Robbie Williams. He also cites Tamyra Gray and Elliott Yamin as his favorite former American Idol contestants. Like Yamin and another singer he admires, John Mayer, Archuleta aspires to infuse his pop selections with a soulful vibe.
Here is Archuleta list of performance in American Idol.

Can’t wait to see their performance!!
This week, on Tuesday, American Idol 7 will hold the very last stage of this season competition. And I will give you a sneak-peek to each finalists. I’ll begin with David Cook.
Cook was born in Houston, Texas and raised in Blue Springs, Missouri. Cook’s interest in music began early in life; he received his first guitar at the age of 2. He began singing in second grade, when his elementary school music teacher gave him a solo in a school choir performance. He proceeded to perform in virtually every Christmas and PTA program. He also participated in choir and drama programs in middle school and high school. At Blue Springs South High School, he performed in musicals, including The Music Man, West Side Story, and Singin’ in the Rain.He had also been an avid baseball player during high school. After losing interest in sports, he focused more on music. He earned a theater scholarship to the University of Central Missouri, but he abandoned theater after two semesters, graduating from the school in 2006 with a degree in graphic design.While in college, he was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa. After his college graduation, he relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma to pursue his career in music, telling his family, “I just want to give myself until I’m 26 years old to get a job.”
Cook was the lead singer and guitarist of the band Axium from 1999 until 2006. He formed Axium in his junior year of high school with drummer Bobby Kerr. One of the band’s songs, “Hold,” was picked up by AMC Theatres Movie Tunes and was played before previews on over 20,000 screens nationwide. Axium was also named one of the top 15 independent bands in the country in the “Got Milk?” independent band contest, and it was chosen as the best band in Kansas City in 2004.
In 2006, after the breakup of Axium, Cook relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and joined the regional touring band Midwest Kings, playing guitar, bass, and singing backup vocals. He recorded one EP, Incoherent with Desire to Move On, with the band in 2006. He also worked as a bartender at several Tulsa clubs, including Blank Slate and Rehab Lounge.
Cook released a solo independent album, Analog Heart, in 2006, the year he graduated from the college. It was written from 2004 to 2006, and he designed the artwork as well. The album was chosen as the fourth-best CD released in 2006 by website Music Equals Life. Cook also won the Urban Tulsa Weekly’s “Absolute Best of Tulsa” award for “Best Locally Produced, Independent Album” in 2007. He had completed recording his sophomore album before his appearance on American Idol.Over the weekend of April 18 to April 20, 2008, Analog Heart was listed as the number one album for “Today’s Top MP3 Albums” on Amazon.com. Soon there after, the album was removed from Amazon.

Hope you’re doing great in the final!! I’m a big fans of yours.. Hahahah
Like A Star by Corinne Bailey Rae *
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I’ll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honour to love you
Still I wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,
You’ve got this look I can’t describe,
You make me feel like I’m alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you’re on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can’t find the words to write this song,
Oh…
Your love,
Still I wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,
Now I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It’s not a secret anymore,
’cause we’ve been through that before,
From tonight I know that you’re the only one,
I’ve been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,
I wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I’ll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands
* from 27 dresses, someday.. it’ll be ur day..
a nice song indeed.
I’m holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I’m hearin what you say but I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around, and say that…
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I’d take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it’s nothing new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it’s turning blue, and you say…
“Sorry” like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid…
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
It’s too late to apologize, yeah
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah-
I’m holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground…
As days go by and fade to nights
I still question why you left
I wonder how it didn’t work out
but now you’re gone and memories all I have for now
but no it’s not over
we’ll get older we’ll get over
we’ll live to see the day that I hope for
come back to me
I still believe that
we’ll get it right again
we’ll come back to life again
we won’t say another goodbye again
you’ll live forever with me
someday, someday we’ll be together
someday, someday we’ll be together
I heard someday might be today
mysteries of destinies they are somehow
and are someway
for all we know they come tomorrow
for today my eyes are open
my arms are raised for your embrace
my hands are here to mend what is broken
to feel again to walk on the face
I believe there is more to life
oh I love you much more than life
and still I believe I can change your mind
revive what is dying inside
and someday, someday we’ll be together
someday, someday we’ll be together
someday, someday we’ll be together
we’ll be together
we’ll be together
someday
all you have to do… is listen. from August Rush. Hope someday you’ll find your own Louis Connelly.
..
I’ll be true // i’ll be useful // I’ll be cavalier // i’ll be yours my dear // And i’ll belong to you // If you’ll just let me through
This is easy as lovers go // So don’t complicate it by hesitating // And this is wonderful as loving goes // This is tailor-made // whats the sense in waiting?
..
this is easy as lovers go.so dont complicate it.what’s d sense in waiting?
Hiaaaaaaaaaaaa,, sabtu kemaren di mobil david baru sadar kalo lagunya bagus.. Maknanya… Lagu dokter banget dah!! huhu.. jadi kangen mas yg satu itu.. hahahahahahaha..
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
HAD I KNOWN HOW TO SAVE A LIFE??
baru sadar, tnyata lagunya bagus.. hehe.. dan gw berharap ‘dia’ adalah kekasih sejati gw.. hihi.. ngarep..
..mungkin aku bermimpi//menginginkan dirimu//untuk ada di sini menemaniku//oh mungkinkah kau yang jadi kekasih sejatiku//semoga tak sekedar harapku..
ngena banget tu.. maybe this whole thing is just a dream..
just..
DON’T DREAM IT’S OVER..
