I Heart Broken

Not A Broken Record.

I'm in trouble. I think I'm seriously addicted to Airi's single 'Broken'. I know I sound like a broken record, pun intended, but I just love the song! I've also gotten a few offices-full of people addicted to it, and in KL mind you! My cousin, three friends and their colleagues - thats about 30+ people - have given me the thumbs up, a few of them have had it on loop for a few days now, citing they thought it was some international artiste....my reply - "Got standard right?"

Even when I can't sing it outloud cos everyone in the house is asleep, I plug my headphones in, put it on loop, close my eyes and mute-lipsync my heart out. Its just such a great tune, but the best part about it, apart from Airi's crooner delivery, are the lyrics and emotion conveyed.

And if its anything to go by, the album coming out in just over a month's time will be something worth looking forward to.

I've sung this song to myself so many times I thought I'd just do everyone the service of putting out the lyrics so you can sing along too. This player I found online automatically loops it - perfect!

No copyright infringement intended, just a fan/friend sharing her love for another friend's music. If you like music, support the artiste, please go buy it from your telco or the Nokia music store (like I did :).

Broken by Sezairi Sezali

VERSE 1:

dropped of your keys last night

the front door still unpainted

you were polite like ice

i, once could met it

you took our pictures down

and you left them on the ground

its like you wiped all the mem'ries

of what we used to be...

you and me before it all crashed down

CHORUS:

and i know i never told you

that i love you

now its all too late

and i don't know how to hold you

but i want to

i don't want to leave this way

all i know

is broken

VERSE 2:

i heard your voice break when you said

"well i hope you're happy"

nothin' to say i'll stare straight into my coffee

then the conversation changed

how we talked around the blame

and the pain of losin'

all of the good times lost

when it all crashed down

CHORUS:

And i know i never told you

that i love you

now its all too late

and i don't know how to hold you

but i want to

i don't want to leave this way

all i know...

is broken...

BRIDGE:

well i'm here if you need me

i know you don't believe me

well i'm so sorry

for all the pain i've caused

Ho-oohhhhh

CHORUS :

and i know i've never told you

that i love you

now its all too late

and i don't know how to hold you

but i want to

i don't want to leave this way

all i know...

is broken...

Ho-oh...

Touched By An Angel - Sezairi Sezali

Now, you can sing (and emo) along...

I've got the official lyrics (not transcribed k, got it from your Singapore Idol himself who was still up and about on MSN like 15 minutes ago!) Wow, it just hit me again that Airi is THE Singapore Idol. I was MSN-ing with the Idol. O.O

Pretty soon all communikay's gonna have to go thru 'proper channels', no more "hey wassup Airi can I whip out my phone cam and interview you...." *sob*sob* (maybe he'll make an exception for me and this blog :) *hope*)

Ok, drama aside, here's the studio recording of Touched By An Angel, followed by the lyrics, followed by a fan-vid recorded at Indoor Stadium when he sang. Imo, that performance at Indoor, is the one that will bring on the goosebumps and well up your tear ducts - absolutely stellar vocals on that one.

Enjoy...

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL performed by SEZAIRI SEZALI

(Music & Lyrics by Ken Lim)

Verse 1

My world had just gone by
Always darkened skies
There was no reason to try
Never could fly

Now I’m tired of searching
And wondering why
It’s not really all that, much far
Reaching out for stars

Bridge
Time to reach out
Time to be who I am

Chorus
Finally, I believe
My dreams will unfold
It’s like being touched by an angel
A brand new beginning
It’s amazing
This is, a moment, I will remember

Finally, I can feel
Heaven on earth
It’s like being touched by an angel
My world is changing
I’m living out loud
Feels like, I’m been, touched by an angel above

Verse 2
I’ve waited for so long
For this day to arrive
The world seems a different place
Knowing I can fly

repeat Bridge, then Chorus

Live performance at Indoor Stadium, Singapore Idol Grand Finals, 27th December 2009.
