October 18, 2007 | Filed Under A Day in the Life, Favourite Songs, Music Discussion | Leave a Comment
so my cold got worse.. the voice is back, but now it hurts to drink water even, much less talk.. pooey. guess i’m stayin in and bumming around for a few days.. need to catch up on photos from the past weekend anyhow, jus hope i can stay awake for longer than 4-5 hrs at a time tomorrow.. wasn’t able to do that today, but i’ll be ok soon either way.
also, talked to one of my closest producers a bit today and thought a bit about some of the things i wanted to do for the nex album, so thats always good.. i think when i get back into it full-force, a lot of good things will happen jus coz of how hungry i am about the music again.. on that note, here’s the first of several new media-kit photos that we’ll be using for my next album:
i like it about as much as i could be expected to like being IN a photo i guess.. we’ll see..
anyways, re: the title of the post, my homegirl sent me this song yesterday and its literally been on repeat ever since.. i know the reason she sent it, esp at this particular juncture, but i’m not sure whether its the lyrics itself or the production value thats making me like this song as much as i do.. maybe both? doesn’t matter i guess, but this is the 3rd or 4th meaningful song i’ve heard from Tamia that i’ve really liked now so i guess i should stop sleeping on her and actually check out an album at some point.. will keep you posted whenever i get a chance, hope you like this:
She cant do what I do to you,
I know she can’t love you the way I love you.
Right here looking in your eyes,
Thinking about what we did last night,
& How you suddenly blew my mind,
Your touch to your tender kiss couldn’t take you breathing in my ear,
Just being with you made me realize.
[Hook:]
& Everytime I see you baby I fall in love over again,
So proud that you were my man,
& I still can’t, can’t get you outta my head,
Your all I’ve ever wanted and you just gotta know that…
[Chorus:]
She cant do the things I do to you,
No one is loving you the way, the way I love you,
She can’t be everything you need and what you need is me,
’cause its the way I love you.
The way that I love you,
Love you the way I do,
The way, the way, the way I love you.
When you smile my mind goes spare,
Can’t imagine life without you here,
Someway somehow you’ve completed me,
Thankful you came my way,
What we have cant be replaced,
You make it easy to be in love.
[Hook:]
& Everytime I see you baby I fall in love over again,
So proud that you were my man,
& I still cant, cant get you outta my head,
Your all I’ve ever wanted and you just gotta know that…
[Chorus:]
She cant do the things I do to you, (She can’t)
No one is loving you the way, the way I love you,
She can’t be (no baby) everything (every little thing baby) you need and what you need is me,
Coz its the way I love you.
The way that I love you,
Love you the way I do,
The way, the way, the way I love you.
Don’t waste your time baby,
You know that your mine baby,
She can’t satisfy the way that I do
Cause She can’t love you like I do.
[Chorus:]
She cant do the things I do to you,
No one is loving you the way the way I love you,
She can’t be (she can never be baby) everything you need (coz she knows that you need me)
and what you need is me,(she can’t do what I do)
Coz its the way I love you(it’s the way that i love you)
She cant do (oooo) the things I do to you (please listen to me)
No one is loving you the way the way I love you, (the way i love you)
She can’t be everything you need and what you (you baby) need is me,
Coz its the way,the way I love you.
The way that I love you,
Love you the way I do,
The way, the way, the way I love you.
The way that I love you,
Love you the way I do,
The way, the way, the way I love you.
SCP8/Montreal Trip Aftermath // 10.17.07 Update
October 16, 2007 | Filed Under A Day in the Life | Leave a Comment
poof, where do i start. Montreal trip for SCP8 with the girls turned out well, all things considered.. pretty happy with how it all played out, even if there were some snags (ie. getting lost eeeeverywhere) – got really good feedback about the girls and i’m sure they picked up a lot of experience from it.. at the show I tried to lay low for the most part to let the girls do their thing, but throughout the show as i was talking with other convention-ers, car owners & the other models working the event, the consensus was that the girls were definitely doin their thing.. schedule-permitting, i’ll probably make the same trip up nex year and we’ll kill it.
so now i’m back in TO, took a day off to myself jus to chill and regroup a bit.. made up for the junk/crap food i had on the road in MTL the other night too; thanks to Nat for treating me to the first actually good Chinese restaurant i’ve come across in the Toronto in over 3 yrs.. guess i’m spoiled from growing up in Vancouver/Hong-Couver where all the best cooks in the world flock to.. forgot the name of the restaurant already, think its “______ Queen” or something and its by Steeles
& Leslie i believe.. anyways, the (Giant) Seafood Super Bowl Congee was dope – the two of us chowed down on it, but it probably could’ve fed 4-5, so the leftovers became my breakfast today.
speaking of today, i woke up today with no voice.. i got the drift i was gettin sick (i’m gonna kill whichever girl i caught it from on this trip, grrr) last night but i actually had no idea my voice was gone til a phone call woke me up, and i jus couldn’t talk audibly when i picked up.. kinda nuts coz its never happened (to this degree at least) before.. oh well, had some stuff to take care of so i still tried my best to get thru the day before finding out that you lose your voice when your vocal cords (not chords, as i used to always misspell it as) are inflamed and any attempt at using your vocal cords would only further damage the tissues surrounding the area.. doh :/ but, i know now, so i’ve been a mute for the past few hrs and hopefully my voice will return shortly..
pretty happy that my cold didn’t affect my energy level today though, still had a really good workout and i’m still progressing way faster than i had expected when i set out to get back into shape a couple months ago.. kinda crazy that i can usually run at 9.5km/hr for 40-45 mins without gettin winded when i used to die after 10-15 mins on a treadmill at much slower speeds..
on a more personal note, its official and the final decision has been reached at last. this means a couple of changes in my life over the nex few months as i try to grow from the experiences of the past year.. it’ll be hard coz i still have feelings for her, but as of now, we both have too much to think about and work on to continue and try to make it work, so that’s that. looking back, we had lots of memorable moments and we also had some really terrible times, but as i always say – everything happens for a reason, so i’ll try to move forward on a positive note, and hopefully we’ll be able to stay friends in the long run.
3 Doors Down – “Here Without You” Lyrics

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I’ve saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder
and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face
I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me
The miles just keep rollin
as the people either way to say hello
I’ve heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go
I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me
Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it’s all said and done
it get hard but it won’t take away my love
I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me
