I SAY MAKE A SPLASH

Love and Drama. Exaltation.

I love music.

When you are young, young enough to feel love, don't miss the joy. It is just too luscious to miss. When you become older in life, it is such a source of gratitude and elation to have lived life, loved life, dared to be different if that is who you are and to have loved. How exciting!

Don't
play it safe
or do what you're expected to do
or ignore your own heart.
When anyone tells you that you can't do something, ask yourself why he or she would have a reason to tell you what you can or can't do. Trust yourself first.

"Friend, don't be a perfectionist. Perfectionism is a curse and a strain. For you tremble lest you miss the bulls-eye. You are perfect if you let be. Friend don't be afraid of mistakes. Mistakes are not sins. Mistakes are ways of doing something different, perhaps creatively new. Friend don't be sorry for your mistakes. be glad for them. You had the courage to give something of yourself. It takes years to be centered; it takes more years to understand and be NOW."
Frederick Perls

If You Go Away
This is sung by a Youtube poster, Rudy, jazzdjoe from Singapore who writes: This is my humble rendition of a wonderful song of Brel. English lyrics are by Rod Mc Kuen. I added the Malay lyrics at the end. Enjoy.

If you go away
On this summer's day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
And the day was young
And the nights were long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird's song

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We'll sail on the sun
We'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees
And worship the wind

But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you will
You must tell the world
To stop turning
'til you return again
If you ever do
For what good is love
Without loving you?
Can I tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
'til the next hello

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on your smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much

But if you go
I won't cry
Though the good is gone
From the word goodbye

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you must
There is be nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
And I'd been the shadow
Of your shadow
If you might have kept me
By your side

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
If you go away...
