Belho's World

This song is a melodious one...quite sentimental again and I'm not necessarily feeling blue;)...just linking it for records. again the credit goes to atuo, surprisingly though I really loved Ritchie Blackmore, I'd never heard it before 2003. I had been away from Nagaland for so long and i did miss out the music scene...still I'm struggling to catch up. We have Saturday set aside for recordings and jamming. Hopefully if everything is fine, we should have our brand of music by next year, maybe include paulie's too.

Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...
Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...
I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes...
In your eyes...
Wish you were here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...
I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you...
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away...
The snow is getting colder, baby,
I Wish You Were Here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I Wish You Were Here...
I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you...
Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...
Wish You Were Here...
Wish You Were Here...
Wish You Were Here...

This is a song by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole(sad he passed away in 1997). This song is a interesting blend of Judy Garland's Somewhere over the Rainbow and Louis Armstrong's What a wonderful world. Atuo introduced this version to me and I was touched by the raw energy of the number. The first time i heard 'somewhere over the rainbow' was around 1988-89...it was an instrumental piece from guitar legend -Chris Impelliterri. Then years later after the self imposed embargo on soft music was lifted, i heard Judy Garland's version which was a bit sentimental compared to this rendition. anyway, I hope you'll like this as much as I do


OK this one's for Gabby
Ooooo oooooo ohoohohoo

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I?

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I?

Ooooo

Sometimes Life is like a soulful ballad, we sing wishes against the inevitable events that divides the past and the present...hoping that songs can paint the future in a way we want it to be...these longings are, in a way, reasons Life becomes more meaningful and eternal..A story that is told but never concludes..so many mysteries, so many continuation. I dedicate this song to anyone who would find it meaningful


Oleander, Oleander
Will you bloom again this spring?
I adored you, then I ignored you,
And now to me you're everything
And those white blossoms that you gave freely
Are now just twinkles in your eye
Oh beholder, Oleander,
Grows on the inside.

She will forgive me for I bring water,
A sunny window to sit by
Oleander, I understand her,
She's just waiting for the time,
To say it's alright,
Another season,
Has brought us another chance,
We're together, in this hot weather,
To dance.

Oleander,
I think you'd better,
I think you made it through another winter.

Well nothing has ended, it's all been mended,
It's the way that it should be,
You're coming back, you're coming back,
It was so lonely here just me,
This time no promises of what's to come,
We'll just live it for the day,
Oleander, I see you stand there and I know you'll be okay.

Oleander,
I think you'd better,
I think you made it through another winter.

Oleander,
I think you'd better,
I think you made it trough another winter.

One good and Fresh song I listened to and liked lately. Do buy the album. It's Jason Mraz.


Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you
Across the water
Across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky
Oh my and baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I wait for you, I promise you I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty, you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh
Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohhohhohhohh

This song by John Lennon has very simple Lyrics but has a very passionate feel to it. I first heard it in Shillong in '92, I think My friend Lucas had the tape and for a long time I was searching for the song..I couldn't remember the Lyrics or the name but the tune was stuck in my head...Finally here it is for you to hear and hopefully enjoy.


Oh my love for the first time in my life
My eyes are wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My eyes can see

I see the wind, oh I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
I see the clouds, oh I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world

Oh my love for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My mind can feel

I feel the sorrow, oh I feel the dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel life, oh I feel love
Everything is clear in our world

This is sung by Declan again and it has a haunting melody. I guess Charlotte Church made it more popular.


I wish I was in Carrickfergus
where she is waiting, my rainbow's end
I would swim over the deepest ocean
just to see her sweet smile again

but the sea is wide and I cannot get over
nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I knew a friendly boatman
to ferry me back to my sweetheart's side

I close my eyes and I remember
the fields of green and flowers gold
where we would walk in sunlit meadows
how my heart's longing to be back home

but the sea is wide and I cannot get over
nor have I the wings to fly
so I’ll just dream of Carrickfergus
and the day I said goodbye
now and forever my love and I..................
