Kiah rules!!!!!

This morning I checked my mailbox and was really glad that I did. If not, I would have missed the opportunity to have my new fix of … music for the day. Hah!

Yep. It is a package which I expected coming from my ‘tokan’. He’d never fail to deliver. Thanks tokan.

This is a selection of 90’s melodic punk/hardcore bands. In it there is this band called Bouncing Souls. I’m not really ‘the’ fan of BS but for me they’re cool even some critics said that they sounded like Rancid and the like. Well, people with opinions. Eventhough I’m only into two of their albums (Maniacal Laughter and The Good, The Bad And The Argyle), I guess BS has indeed survived with their own brand of sound and of course, songwriting!

There’s a song titled, ‘Quick Check Girl’ – I have been listening to this song for ages but never had the chance to really read through the lines. Not until today. Only now I noticed how funny (or was it hopeless romantic?) one’s experience could be and amazingly, it was well executed with finesse in the song. And the punch line will always be in… you’ll know where to find it.

Four ‘oi!’(s) to Bouncing Souls!

Listen to the song here.

The first Wednesday I saw her
there smiling at me with here blue eyes
and curly hair i couldn't wait till next week
to make the stop see her at the
quick check paper drop.
Every Wednesday we'd count the papers
we'd have a laugh at the people in their suits
no one seemed to notice how she was different
but i did and i knew.
Another Wednesday came and it
seemed it was right so i wrote her a note that i
hoped she would like
dear Kiah would you like to go with me to the boardwalk
what fun it will be
we'll eat cotton candy and we'll get french
fries with vinegar and get a
plate of funnel cake then we'll go on the
zipper look out on the ocean
and puke it all up all the people will scream
we can have a laugh what do you say?
that's what it said in the note.
Another week went by
and she never called another week came and
she wished she had she just
broke up with her fiance and things were kinda crazy
with her i said i understood, another week went by
and she never called but i thought
about the way she looked at me and said to myself maybe..
i pulled into the quick check at 6am to see the sun coming up
when i walked in Kiah wasn't there. The manager said
she quit she isn't here
"Do you want me to help you count the papers?"

CERITA DALAM LAGU - 02

Yeah, bertemu kembali ke rancangan CERITA DALAM LAGU bersama hos anda... Osmaaaan Jailaniii.. Ingat saudara-saudari... read between the lines..

Jealousy which brings you nowhere
With your coldest stare
Your wicked soul urged to mislead
Sewing those evil seeds
Friends turned foes, love became hatred
You tried to be un-you though I know how much you hate it
Rebelling without a cause
It’s like boozing without a pause

And you’ll suffer the consequences


Kalau sesiapa yang masih ingat, aku dulu ada kamcing dengan sorang mamat yang keluarganya ada bisnes yang berasaskan kelapa. Mamat ni punyala baik dan down to earth. Guna SAYA dan AWAK, sebagai ganti nama diri walaupun bercakap dengan geng lelaki. Banyak pengetahuan pasal alternative bands/music sebab dia ada lepak dengan sorang brother yang memang banyak collections of alternative music ni. Aku belajar dengar PIXIES pun dari brother tu. Anyways, cerita ni bukan pasal brother tu, tetapi mamat yang berpewatakan baik tu... mari kita panggil dia... Jalil Hamid...

Jalil adalah seorang yang rajin membantu bisnes keluarga di pasar. Pada masa yang sama dia juga seorang yang sangat sukakan muzik alternatif. Jadi boleh kata setiap hari dia akan kehulu kehilir membawa list of bands yang dia ada untuk di-dub-kan menggunakan CD/Casette player. Ni kira usaha dia untuk mempromosikan bands yang obscure bagi peminat muzik Kuantan pada masa itu. Walaupun dia ada mengenakan charge kepada sesiapa yang mahukan kaset dub dari bands tersebut, tujuan Jalil bukanlah untuk mencari keuntungan tetapi lebih kepada berkongsi dengan sesiapa yang sangat mendambakan lagu-lagu dari bands alternative kegemaran mereka.

Jalil adalah pengikut fanatik Minority dan juga band-band Kuantan yang ada pada masa itu. Jalil sangat suka menyanyi ketika Minority jam lagu Dead Cities oleh The Exploited. Dia akan menyanyi dengan begitu bersemangat sekali walaupun tak berbutir sepatah haram... Nyanyi ikut sedap tekak bak kata orang tua. Time tu internet pun belum komersil lagi so jangan harap la nak google lyrics eh? Tapi sebab dia cool, I find it rather cute... hehehe.


Standing clueless at a junction
With loads of hesitation
Turning back is not your option
Keep going that wrong direction
You know you’re lost, but admitting means losing
In this thing you called war but still for me it’s nothing
Egoistic only rules
To people that I called fools

And they’ll suffer the consequences

And they’ll suffer!


Pada mula Jalil berada di dalam circle of friends, tidak dinafikan yang dia adalah seorang yang sangat cool. Tapi setelah beberapa bulan (mungkin setahun) bersama, Jalil mula menampakkan perangainya yang biadap dengan kawan-kawan. Perubahan yang drastik bila Jalil mula bercakap tentang sesuatu yang kasar dan sangat menyakitkan hati kawan-kawan, yang nyata tidak ada sebarang masalah langsung dengannya. Dia berlagak seolah-olah he knows it all dan aku beh kali... bila kawan-kawan lain bercakap tentang muzik atau band terbaru... Band yang diminati oleh orang lain semuanya tak cool, dia saja tahu tentang bands yang cool.

Perubahan sikap Jalil ini sudah menimbulkan kemarahan dan kebencian ramai pihak. Aku still stay calm dengan dia dan ada juga sound tepi dan nasihat tapi seperti tak diendahkan. Aku sabar sebab aku tahu masih ada coolness+goodness dalam diri dia. Ada satu insiden di mana kakaknya nak sponsor buat lesen memandu tapi dia bagitahu aku dengan nada bongkak... "Tak thrill la bawak kereta kalau ada lesen..." So aku pun dah mula nampak kecibaian dalam tuturkata dia dan aku pun dah mula menyampah. Ada jugak satu time tu dia call one girl yang kawan aku minat. Memang la kawan aku ni sayur tapi aku rase Jalil tak patut la share dengan girl tu tentang kesayuran kawan aku tu. Ni kira main kotor la ni... Cheh!

Beberapa siri kebodohan dan kecibaian telah berlaku di rumah Lebai tapi cerita ni perlu dipendekkan untuk siaran iklan. Tetapi salah satu insiden yang aku tak boleh terima bila dia bergaduh dengan sorang driver lori yang melanggar kereta kakaknya. Dia dah la takde lesen kalau buat report polis ke apa dah tentu dia pon kantoi. So aku cakap dengan dia kalau nak mintak gantirugi, cakap la baik-baik dengan driver lori tu. Tapi dia langsung tak peduli dengan nasihat aku dan terus ke kilang driver lori tu bekerja, confronted the driver dengan pisau potong sayur yang diambil dari rumah Lebai... Apa punye bangang la??? Memang kena ligan la dengan The Truckers & Co. (bagi bunyik best sikit). Nasib baik tak kena tibai! Bila balik ke rumah Lebai, dia dengan angkuh dan konon ganas gila, mengamuk dan menyatakan rasa tak puas hati dan cuba menyusun strategi untuk counter attack geng abang lori. Aduh la.. Aku dah tak boleh terima benda-benda mengarut ni, aku ambik keputusan untuk tidak lagi berkawan dengan dia selepas pada insiden tersebut. I can tolerate with people's bullshit, but this one... just went beyond the line...


Jealousy which brings you nowhere
With your coldest stare
Your wicked soul urged to mislead
Sewing those evil seeds
Friends turned foes, love became hatred
You tried to be un-you though I know how much you hate it
Rebelling without a cause

And you’ll suffer the consequences


Tak lama selepas tu aku ambik keputusan bekerja di Kuala Lumpur. Lebih kurang setahun lebih aku di Kuala Lumpur, aku balik ke Kuantan dan tengok ada perubahan dari kawan-kawan aku. Aku tak tau sebab apa tapi macam ada satu cerita yang aku ni dah tak respect lagi geng Kuantan dan macam-macam lagi. Aku tahu ni semua angkara Jalil sebab setelah aku tak lagi berkawan dengan dia, rata-rata ramai geng di Kuantan juga tidak berkawan dengan dia. Ini membuatkan dia agak berdendam dengan aku kerana sangkanya aku yang menghasut geng di Kuantan supaya memulaukan dia. Itu la, bila dah bengang tu cepat betul dia buruk sangka dengan aku. Tapi yang aku agak ralat ialah benda ni telah mempengaruhi sedikit sebanyak perpecahan DEP di awal 97. Gila ramai orang tak suka aku. Tapi aku macam biasa cool je (walaupun dalam hati sedih sebenarnye) dan bagitahu kepada kawan-kawan yang masih percaya pada aku yang the truth shall prevail.

Dalam beberapa bulan jugak (atau mungkin setahun) aku nak bersihkan tohmahan yang menimpa diri ini (gila - macam lirik Endang S Taurina). And yes. The truth prevails. Selepas pada itu geng di Kuantan sedar apa yang sebenarnya berlaku dan siapa sebenarnya the real asshole. Hmmm...memang ada sedikit berbaur jalan cerita Hindustan tapi itu semua memang tak dapat dielakkan.

Aku dah tak jumpa lagi Jalil hingga ke saat ini. Aku pun dah tak pikirkan tentang dia. Cuma kekadang aku teringat kebaikan dia masa aku mula-mula jumpa dia. I missed that cool guy. Seriously! Aku rasa cara untuk kita mendapat perhatian dengan kawan-kawan bukanlah dengan cara mendominasi dengan bercakap kasar dan berlagak. Pada pendapat aku, kalau kita jujur dengan kawan-kawan dan bercakap dengan baik pun sudah memadai. Aku juga percaya kita kena celebrate kawan-kawan dengan cara yang kita rasa sesuai. Buat makan ke, pegi outing sekali ke, dan apa-apa la. But if you think that friends are not important, then I rest my case. I hope you find happiness in solitude.(Shhhh...I've been there and it SUCKS!)

Kepada kawan-kawan aku... remember... Buddies For Life!

You told me nobody could bring you down
But I can see your pain through your reflection

NOIR (tajuk setakat ni...)

Black cotton is cheap
Poor souls I could reap
Hear my mind, touch my feelings
I'm staring hopelessly at the ceiling

Medals made of honour
(But) Deeds had turned sour
Imagine... Death sentence
When no one care for your presence

**Tojeng solo ala-ala Frusciante sebelum 'rehab'**

She was anxious and bitter
That's all I could discover
Do I make you nervous?





THERE'S BEEN TOO MUCH HATRED...AMONG US!....

AMONG US... AMONG US... AMONG US...

IT KILLS YOU!

You don't have to cry if they leave you
It won't make you feel much better
You don't have to lie if they like you
Cuz they only gonna make you suffer

Those past years I thought you've learn a lot
Spare us with some of your big thoughts
But we're wrong, you'll never regret
Prepare to die, cuz that what you'll get

You know that it kills you
Rotting every single second
You know that it kills you
So be glad we don't have to mention...
It anymore...

Do you think it's really healthy
With that 10 bucks you gotta pay
Do you think it's really worth it
With the life you have to give away

You know that it kills you
Rotting every single second
You know that it kills you
So be glad we don't have to mention...
It anymore...

Needles... you've shared
Life... despair!

You don't have to cry if they leave you
It won't make you feel much better
You don't have to lie if they like you
Cuz they only gonna make you suffer

You know that it kills you
Rotting every single second
You know that it kills you
So be glad we don't have to mention...
It anymore...
Not anymore!

SHE'S NOT WORTH IT

You said you love her like... hell
Your crazy feeling is hard to tell
But you don't know she's just not that worth it
One day she'll dump you... you'll see!

Lemme tell ya somethin'

She's not worth it
She's not healthy
She's not worth it
Cuz she's not that worth it anymore

Not anymore...

She sleeps with anyone she loves to
Though she said that she loves you
Wake up! She's just a bloody whore
Cuz she's not that worth it anymore

Lemme tell ya somethin'

She's not worth it
She's not healthy
She's not worth it
Cuz she's not that worth it anymore
Not anymore...

STUPIDITY RULES! (YOU)

People are moving but you still there
Don’t know what to do
Inject that macho thing into your self
Makes you look like a fool
You know everything that’s what you think
But stupidity still rules you
It still rules you!

You just love to criticize
But where’s your contribution?
Violent flame is in your eyes
And there’s no solution

Spreading lies to all those kids
For your own priority
Misguiding them into your tribe
That is how it’s got to be
You know everything that’s what you think
But stupidity still rules you
It still rules you!

You just love to criticize
But where’s your contribution?
Violent flame is in your eyes
And there’s no solution

SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES

Jealousy which brings you nowhere
With your coldest stare
Your wicked soul urged to mislead
Sewing those evil seeds
Friends turned foes, love became hatred
You tried to be un-you though I know how much you hate it
Rebelling without a cause
It’s like boozing without a pause

And you’ll suffer the consequences

Standing clueless at a junction
With loads of hesitation
Turning back is not your option
Keep going that wrong direction
You know you’re lost, but admitting means losing
In this thing you called war but still for me it’s nothing
Egotistic only rules
To people that I called fools

And they’ll suffer the consequences

And they’ll suffer!

Jealousy which brings you nowhere
With your coldest stare
Your wicked soul urged to mislead
Sewing those evil seeds
Friends turned foes, love became hatred
You tried to be un-you though I know how much you hate it
Rebelling without a cause
It’s like boozing without a pause

And you’ll suffer the consequences

You told me nobody could bring you down
But I can see your pain through your reflection

SOLDERED BY PAIN

I can see that swollen face
I know your pride has been disgraced
When you’re crawling
Your tears falling
You’ve been soldered by pain

I can see that big grey sky
I can see that smoke gets in your eyes
This air we’re breathing
It’s so suffocating
We’ve been soldered by pain

No one cares if it’s not right
No one care if we’re inside
This unbearable pain
Release us from these chains
We just wished for once that we could stand on our feet again
Stand on our feet again!

I can hear the children cry
Their needs have long been denied
Their bellies need filling
To keep on living
They’ve been soldered by pain

This world is so full of lies
People we meet, they’re full of disguises
They all pretending
To know our feelings
That we’ve been soldered by pain

No one cares if it’s not right
No one care if we’re inside
This unbearable pain
Release us from these chains
We just wished for once that we could stand on our feet again
Stand on our feet again!

WHERE I BELONG

I wish I was at the place where I belong
Being alone as a stranger, bad vibes are getting stronger
Those wasted days made me feel so wrong
Well I don’t wanna be here, please take me back to the place where I belong

My smiles fake my agony
Do you think it’s that easy?
Pride swallowing is possible
But how long could I keep this invisible?

The things that I’ve said
Promise I made
The damage I’ll mend
But will the pain ever end?

I wish I was at the place where I belong
Can’t stay any longer when things are getting harder
This misery has been here for so long
Well I don’t wanna be here, please take me back to the place where I belong

My smiles fake my agony
Do you think it’s that easy?
Pride swallowing is possible
But how long could I keep this invisible?

The things that I’ve said
Promise I made
The damage I’ll mend
But will the pain ever end?

THE QUESTION

Depression kills! And it’s what I’m feeling now
It keeps on hurting me no matter what no matter how
It takes some time to learn about this shitty life
But when you’re ready to face it makes you think that you just rather die

There’re some questions to be answered not to be ignored
Choose a wise solution don’t you drag your brain into mind war

Please answer my question
Is it good to have a life like this one?
Please answer my question
I’ve been waiting for consoling signs
Please answer my question
Is it bad to have a life like this one?
Please answer my question
Or should I end this for the other line?

I’m full with fear when things are getting out of hand
My destiny is clear yet I just can’t understand
It takes some time to think about what we’re looking for
We deserve good things in life but we just can’t ask for more

There’re some questions to be answered not to be ignored
Choose a wise solution don’t you drag your brain into mind war

Please answer my question
Is it good to have a life like this one?
Please answer my question
I’ve been waiting for consoling signs
Please answer my question
Is it bad to have a life like this one?
Please answer my question
Or should I end this for the other line?

SELF – CONTROL

It’s about time to take turns
Voicing about something that we can all learn
Some will agree some will not
But still it’s a matter of thoughts
Just don't keep it to yourself
Cuz I won’t talk on your behalf

If there seems to be trouble
Let’s face the fact
Together we’ll be able
To seal the crack

Barriers breaker is what we are
Being so closed minded feels like living in a jar
You always hate the typical world
They just keep going in circles
So it’s time to take control
Don’t let them jeopardize your soul

It’s time to take control
There’s no looking back
Together we’ll be able
To fight back

All these people
These over friendly people
They just drag you down
Make you drown

All these people
These over friendly people
They just drag you down

Conscience will help you
Keep your eyes wide open
You will see what’s good for you
Don’t let nobody tell you what to do
When they were never there for you
You’ve gone this far by yourself
Have faith in yourself

One thing about trouble
They keep coming back
But we’ll always be able
To face the fact

TASTELESS

This used to be our playground
But now you’re not around
I feel no sorry
Why should I be?
Now you’re someone
Try to get your job done
We’re not (even) in your last page
So you can kick us like garbage

You’ve burned your hometown
Keep your feet off the ground
You left your old pal
And it makes you feel well
Makes you feel well…

You got a tasteless mind
A tasteless soul
You think that’s fine
Our dejection is your goal

You got the power, you should bring justice
You ain’t got no guts, you don’t deserve this
Your brain is clay, you don’t know how to say it
You make the rules don’t expect that we’ll play it

You think we’re dying you think we’ll suffer
You know you’re wrong cuz we don’t take orders
What can I tell you? It’s your decision
Free society or is this prison?
Or is this prison?

You got a tasteless mind
A tasteless soul
You think that’s fine
Our dejection is your goal

CO-OPERATION NOT COMPETITION

Who's good, who's better, who's best?
This attitude has been a mess
We're living on the same shelf
You're not more than yourself

Unity is the subject
But why do we go crack?
Divided into pieces
Falling like broken glasses

CO-OPERATION, it's NOT COMPETITION...

Unity is the subject
But why do we go crack?
Divided into pieces
Falling like broken glasses

Understand this situation
Once is suffice to mention
Believe in this co-operation
Leave this fucking competition!

CO-OPERATION, it's NOT COMPETITION...

SWEET LULLABY

Here's my sweet lullaby, just hear it today
There's more to come, to come this way
Here's my sweet lullaby, just hear it today
Think about tomorrow, forget about yesterday

Yesterday...

You don't have to cry, it isn't necessary
Forget about your past, think about your future glory
But take up something for you to spare
Something for you to share

Yes, you may...

I heard you laughing
And still wondering
Then I heard you talking
About yesterday

Yesterday...

Here's my sweet lullaby, just hear it today
There's more to come, to come this way
Here's my sweet lullaby, just hear it today
Think about tomorrow, forget about yesterday

Yesterday...

I heard you crying
And still wondering
Then I heard you talking
About yesterday

Yesterday...

THIS ONE'S FOREVER

I've been waiting for this moment to tell you
That things are not the same as before
Certain changes happened to what we loved
And the things that we loved are not easy to score

We both feel so sad when everything turns bad
And you really gonna feel like crying
But you better remember that I'm still here
And when we're all together we can feel like flying

THIS ONE'S FOREVER...

They said there's a hope for you
One for me and some for everybody
But what difference does it make
When this hope got no possibility?
So who's to blame, now things have gone insane
And we only have to watch them going
So it's better to make our move together
If you really want this right to last forever

THIS ONE'S FOREVER...

They've taken everything, including our mind
And they think that's fine...

I've been waiting for this moment to tell you
That things are not the same as before
Certain changes happened to what we loved
And the things that we loved are not easy to score

We both feel so sad when everything turns bad
And you really gonna feel like crying
But you better remember that I'm still here
And when we're all together we can feel like flying

THIS ONE'S FOREVER...
