I’ve fallen inlove with this song way back in 2003… love the melody, the piano, awesome voice from Josh Groban, damn I love this guy… He’s got this uber awesome voice. ONLY i wish i could sing like him, or I wish i had a singing voice like his.

I tried playing this song as well, I was a noob at playing by ear back then, i only got up to the beginning… but i plan to give it another shot… I just love the song and I must learn to play it =)

I seem to be picking up a lot of GOOD songs at work… see, we have this satellite radio thing playing in the store, and trust me they play a LOT of good musics, songs I would never imagine I would hear (I don’t listen to radio… i listen to some online radio station very sledom)… ahahaa, what I’ll do to find out the song is remember 2 or 3 lines of the chorus then as soon as i get home, i google it up…

This song is one of my favorite song at the moment… love the lyrics, love the singer’s voice, love the chorus, melody… in short I LOVE THIS SONG. It’s awesome…

You’re all smiles and silly conversation
As if this sunny day came just for you
You twist your hair, you smile and you turn your eyes away
C’mon, tell me what’s right with you
Now it dawns on me probably everybody’s talkin’
And there’s something here I’m supposed to realize
‘Cause your secret’s out, and the universe laughs at it’s joke on me
I just caught it in your eyes, it’s a beautiful surprise

Chorus:
When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue
‘Cause I swear I never knew it
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?

Make your way over here, sit down by this fool, and let’s rewind
C’mon, let’s go back and replay all our scenes
You can point out the hints, the clues, the twists and the smiles this time
All the ones that slipped by me
I bet my face is red, and you can hear my heart poundin’
Well I guess it don’t matter now that I realize
‘Cause baby I missed it then, but I can surely see you now
Right there before my eyes
You’re my beautiful surprise

Chorus:

Was it at the coffee shop
Or that morning at the bus stop
When you almost slipped, and I caught your hand
Or the time we built the snowman
The day at the beach, sandy and warm
Or the night with the scary thunderstorm
I never saw the signs
Now we’ve got to make up for lost time
And I can tell now by the way that you’re looking at me
I’d better finish this song so my lips will be free

Have you been waiting long, when did you fall in love
I kept you waiting so long, when did you fall
Have you been waiting long
When did you fall in love with me
When did you fall in love?

lots of things happened this week. tuesday we [my strings class] headed down to Kiwanis Music Festival. it was a lot of fun actually although the “festival” itself wasnt so much fun!… honestly it was a lil bit lame because it wasnt like the SUNPEAKs or the WHISTLER music festival. It was actually sad that no one came to watch us or no one was assigned to watch our performance beside the senior orchestra from my school. Usually, it should be a band or people from other school but i dont know why we ended up having our senior string class as our audience.

well we tried making it as much fun experience as we could. lolz. I didn’t know that we suppose to bring our own lunch, wait, actually i did but i just ignored it and assumed that i could find a place to get something to eat. So while all of them are eating. i was ther doing nothing. i asked my stand partner if she could come with me and see if we could find a place to buy something. a bending machine would be fine. but about 20ft away we found ABC COUNTRY RESTAURANT we were not suppose to go that far but heck who cares. so we went in and bought a meal and a ice cream/cake!.. and they have a souvenir items in there too so i picked one to buy. and i named him Kiwanis.

We went back to the practice room and shared our food with our fellow strings mate. it was fun but a mini cake wasnt enough so we bought a new one although we were forbiden to go there, me and Manal sneak in again!

I’m not sure how we did on our performance but i thought we sucked! I made few mistakes and i didnt play the hard part of the pieces. oh well, its over. thing is, SPRING CONCERT is this coming wednesday and I’m gonna redeem myself.

and btw, heres a video clips of the performance. i asked one of the senior strings whos apparently in my senior band too to film us, problem was he was sitting on a bad spot. so i was blocked the whole time. you can see my hand and my vow moving but you cant really see ME.

This first piece is called Little Russian March, i didnt like it at first because the bowing and the techniques were pretty hard, but i got used to it and i love the tune and the excitement of how it sounds

This next clip is called Fantasia on a theme from Thailand, it’s a pretty sweet piece. very asian (thailand duh!), classy and elegant though i dont think it sounded elegant at all the way we performed it.

ENJOY THE CLIPS!!!

its 2months worth of learning and practicing.
