I can’t believe it’s over I watched the whole thing fall And I never saw the writing that was on the wall If I’d only knew The days were slipping past That the good things never last That you were crying
Summer turned to winter And the snow it turned to rain And the rain turned into tears upon your face I hardly recognized the girl you are today And god I hope it’s not too late It’s not too late ’Cause you are not alone I’m always there with you And we’ll get lost together Till the light comes pouring through ’Cause when you feel like you’re done And the darkness has won Babe, you’re not lost When your worlds crashing down And you can’t bear the thought I said, babe, you’re not lost
Life can show no mercy It can tear your soul apart It can make you feel like you’ve gone crazy But you’re not Things have seem to changed There’s one thing that’s still the same In my heart you have remained And we can fly fly fly away
’Cause you are not alone And I am there with you And we’ll get lost together Till the light comes pouring through ’Cause when you feel like you’re done And the darkness has won Babe, you’re not lost When the worlds crashing down And you can not bear the cross I said, baby, you’re not lost I said, baby, you’re not lost I said, baby, you’re not lost I said, baby, you’re not lost
Salam semua..... Masa menonton Memorial Service untuk MJ hari Selasa yang lalu ada satu lagu yang bertajuk "Smile" dinanyikan oleh abang MJ, Jermaine Jackson untuk adiknya. Bila dengar lagu tue wah bestnya.... Bila cari-cari kat internet, rupa-rupanya lagu tue dicipta oleh Charlie Chaplin. Tak sangka ye, Charlie Chaplin seorang pelawak pun ada tulis lagu. Bila dengar lagu nie, kita tak patut tunduk kepada masalah atau kesedihan. Senyum selalu macam lirik nie:
" Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile.."
‘Smile’ was the theme music for Chaplin last silent picture ‘Modern Times’ in 1936. It became officially ‘Smile’ when John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added lyrics to Chaplin’s composition in 1954. Nat ‘King’ Cole recorded the song and it became a hit! Cole’s recording reached the #10 position on the Billboard Charts in 1954.
Over the years, it became a standard which many artist have recorded including Tony Bennett, Barbara Streisand and Rob Stewart. Latest to record ‘Smile’ is Robert Downey Jr. on his ‘The Futurist" CD. Downey played Charlie in the movie ‘Chaplin’.
There are people who may heard this song but still not know the melody was originally Charlie Chaplin’s. You will know it quickly if you watch ‘Modern Time’.
Other Chaplin music includes Academy Award winning score from Limelight and ‘This Is My Song’ from ‘Countness of Hong Kong’.
‘Smile’ Charlie Chaplin’s Theme Music for ‘Modern Times’ – 1936 Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons – 1954
Smile tho’ your heart is aching, Smile even tho’ it’s breaking, When there are clouds in the sky You’ll get by,
If you smile thro’ your fear and sorrow, Smile and maybe tomorrow, You’ll see the sun come shin-ing thro’ for you
Light up your face with gladness, Hide ev-’ry trace of sadness, Al -’tho a tear may be ever so near,
That’s the time, You must keep on trying, Smile, what’s the use of crying, You’ll find that life is still worth-while,
If you just smile,

Tue dia siap beli CD Rabbani yang terbaru bertajuk Nostaliga Nada Murni untuk dapatkan tandatangan dari kumpulan Rabbani. Fikir-fikir lawak pulak sebab beriya-iya beli dan pergi belakang stage untuk dapatkan tandatangan. Berlumba pulak ngan students. Hahaha.... tak pe la sesekali jadi macam bebudak sekolah pulak.
Semalam 24 Mei diadakan Program Motivasi Perdana Insan Cemerlang dan Konsert Kesenian Islam Bersama Ustaz Akhwan dan Rabbani bermula jam 9.15 malam di dewan sekolah. Program nie bermula dari petang dengan program motivasi untuk pelajar asrama sekolah yang dijalankan bersama-sama Ustaz Akhwan dan Ustaz Asri. Sebelah malam barulah konsert ini berlangsung. Program dimulakan dengan nyanyian nasyid oleh kumpulan nasyid sekolah dan diteruskan oleh Ustaz Akhwan. Program bersama Ustaz Akhwan nie adalah tahun ketiga diadakan. Tahun pertama dulu bersama Nazery Raihan, tahun lepas dengan kumpulan In Team dan tahun ini dengan kumpulan yang lebih besar iaitu kumpulan Rabbani. Ustaz Akhwan nie sekali pandang ada yang kata macam Mawi. Memang pandai menyanyi dan berlawak sambil-sambil menerapkan nilai motivasi kepada para pelajar. Hampir pukul 10.00 malam muncul la kumpulan Rabbani yang dinanti-nantikan dengan lagu pertama Intifadah. Seramai 7 ahli kumpulan Rabbani yang hadir dengan diketuai oleh Ustaz Asri Ibrahim, ahli-ahli lain adalah Ahmad Shafie, Mohd Asri Baidul @ Ubaidullah, Muhammad Loqman Abdul Aziz, Zulkiflee Azman, Azadan Abdul Aziz dan Mohd Rithauddeen Yaakob. Ada dua lagi ahli yang tak hadir.
Untuk sesi yang pertama mereka menyanyikan lagu Intifadah, Mana Milik Kita dan Saksi. Di samping tu ada satu sesi bersama pelajar.
Nie semasa waktu rehat Rabbani di belakang dewan. Pelajar-pelajar tidak dibenarkan ganggu waktu rehat mereka tapi hehehe... cikgu-cikgu ada yang sibuk nak minta tandatangan dan bergambar. Sesi kedua kumpulan Rabbani sampaikan tiga lagi lagu iaitu Bila Nur Melimpah di Hati, Pergi Tak Kembali dan Teman Sejati. Persembahan terakhir adalah Kumpulan Rabbani dan Ustaz Akhwan bersama-sama dengan pelajar-pelajar berselawat ke atas junjungan kita Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.
Semalam balik dari konsert terus nak masukkan entry tentang Rabbani tapi internet pulak ada problem jadi hari nie baru boleh letak di sini. Kalau konsert nie di tempat lain mungkin tak pergi tapi sebab di dalam sekolah sendiri jadi Layannn......
Hari nie cuba untuk letak video dalam blog nie. Saja letak lagu nie sebab bila dengar je teringat masa zaman sekolah dan belajar dulu, teringat kawan-kawan, cikgu, pensyarah...Hmmm... bestnyer if only we could turn back the clock
