The Concert

It's been a while that no new article was posted in TAP, and I feel sorry for that. Even though I'm questioning the fate of blogger with the phenomenal growth of Facebook users that has made other social network sites such as Friendster in limbo, still I'm committed in maintaining the blog. It seems that previous active bloggers are now spending more time in Facebook rather than doing blogwalking and posting new articles in their blogs. Blogger needs a fundamental surgery in its engines and interfaces to survive from the deadly attack of Facebook.

The other reason for being absent from blogging is that I was so busy preparing February 14 music concert at BlackBox Theater, High/Scope Indonesia, Jl. TB Simatupang 8, Jakarta, where LKers band played with Leo Kristi and Cecil in "Konser Nyanyian Cinta LK-LKers". It was the third time for LKers to play with Leo Kristi.

The challenge for an amateur bass player like me, and for other LKers amateur musicians as well, is that we have to memorize all of around 80 music compositions of "Konser Rakyat Leo Kristi"'s songs, and some of them I haven't learned yet. It took several difficult days merely to know where to press the string and to play with the right timing for just a single song.

While we predicted that only 35 songs at max could be performed from 8 pm to 11 pm, but any song could be played. Learning from the past experience, even though LKers had agreed with Leo Kristi which songs to be played, but he always deviated from the script.

The concert is over, and it gave mixed memories to those who were on the stage and to around 400 people who packed the BlackBox Theater.

Here's the group of "Komunitas Pecinta Musik Konser Rakyat Leo Kristi" at Facebook.

Traffic is certainly important for your blog, as no matter how good your articles are, you still need to attract readers to come to your blog so that they can read and appreciate your works.

Longing for the Past

For those of you who were born in the 50s and early 60s, this is for you. There are a couple of very special songs and lyrics that will bring you back to and refresh your aging memories of the good old days. Just as what the Alan Parson Project says: Time, flowing like a river; Time, beckoning me; Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever; But time, keeps flowing like a river, to the sea.

It's time to reconnect with your friends. The sooner the better, as you won't know whether you will have a chance to see them again next year. Some of them have gone already, and some will follow. Charge your handphone, and make calls. God Bless you.


Epitaph
King Crimson

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.



I love you more than you'll ever know
Blood Sweat & Tears

If I ever leave you....you can say I told you so!
And if I ever hurt you baby..... you know I hurt myself as well.

Is that any way for a man to carry on
Do you think I want my loved one gone
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

When I wasn't making much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to baby
And I never spent a red cent

Is that any way for a man to carry on
Do you think I want my loved one gone
Said I love you
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

I'm not trying to be
just any kind of man
I'm just trying to be somebody
You can love, trust and understand
I know that I can be
yeaaahhhh
A part of you that no one else could see

I just wanna hear,a hear ya say
its allright
yeahhh yeahhh

I'm only flesh and blood
But I can be everything that you demand
I can be king of everythang
Or just a tiny grain of sand

Is that anyway for a man to carry on
Do you think he wants his little loved one gone
I love you baby, i love you baby
i love youMore than you'll ever know

If I ever leave you....you can say I told you so!
And if I ever hurt you ..... you know I hurt myself as well.

Is that anyway for a man to carry on
Do you think he wants his little loved one gone
I treid to tell ya I love you baby, i love you baby
yea i love you baby
i love you More than you'll ever know

i love you
i love you
i love you baby!!

i told you so many times before
I love you
I love



If you go away
Terry Jacks

If you go away
On a summer day
Then you might as well
Keep the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
And our lovers knew
And our hearts were high
And the days were young
And the nights were long
And the moon stood still
With the night birds song

If you go away (3)

But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
Well sail on suns
Well ride on the rain
Well talk to the trees
Well fly with the wind

But if you go away
And I love you so
They'll be nothing left
In the world you know
Just an empty moon
Full of empty space
Like an empty look
I see on your face

If you go away (3)

But if you stay
Ill make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
Well sail the suns
Well ride on the rain
Well talk to the trees
Well fly with the wind

If you go away (3)



Still Got The Blues
Gary Moore

Use to be so easy
To give my heart away
But I found that the haeartache
was the price you have to pay
I found that that love is no friend of mine
I should have know'n time after time

So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Use to be so easy
Fall in love again
But I found that the heartache
It's a roll that leeds to pain
I found that love is more than just a game
Play and to win
but you loose just the same

So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

So many years since I seal you face
You will my heart
there's an epmty space
Used to be

(SOLO)

So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Golden days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you



Time
The Alan Parson Project

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows if we shall ever meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea

Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

Goodbye my friends, Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friends, stars wait for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
