Sound of music

Well, le'vasiz is gonna post something different file this time.It's not a video or levasiz performing but it's a midi file of some sort of music. It's music created by the guys in levasiz. Its something that we experimented a few days ago for a new song. To be specific , for 'unanswered calls'. It's just a small file to show what levasiz could come up with.




Hear it..


well , after hearing that. If you guys havent heard 'standing next to you' by le'vasiz. Click on the next one. You'll have to download it first. Standing next to you was le'vasiz 's first song by the way. It was first performed acoustically even before Le'Vasiz was made. Then, when all went well for us. This song was then perform in the Festival of Arts 2005.

Le Vasiz

Same old song-Unanswered calls

Writing season is here...

This post is just about another written song . It's something new but it's also the same old song.
Well, this is probably a better piece than my last few but it's nothing much. This song probably has the simplest run of chord progressions. Three chords all the way and nothing complicated.


Unanswered calls

Calling for help,for someone to be there
by your side
You're to far a distance from my existence
In this lonely place
All those decisions that were made by me
have gone to waste
A stab at the back, a shot to the head
It's the same old song


All this while, I've been down
I've been walking when I should've drown
And all the unanswered calls
are making me cold
Hope you'll understand
In this state that I'm in


What's there to do
Could this be the end
where do we go from here
It's all in our hands
So, let's find common ground
In this old town
I succumb to defeat, and you gave up
Oh my ....


All this while, I've been down
I've been walking when I should've drown
And all the unanswered calls
are making me cold
Hope you'll understand
In this state that I'm in

Let It Be

Yeah....how long must we wait for it ?
well, here it is another song written by Marvin. Nothing much this time but still a good song. It is titled 'let it be' and it's about not having things coming your way and just leaving it as it is.

Let It Be

I'm stuck with a feeling
that's caught me inside
In a place that i can't abide
There are many decisions
that I can't decide

Maybe you are just like me
seing life that was never meant to be
Maybe you are just like me
We're bound to feeling down

What If I could throw it all away
All the pain in me
And if today never comes your way
Just take it and let it be

To many things that
I just can't leave behind
Hundreds of puzzles
that are caught in my mind
I ponder If I will ever cross the line

Maybe you are just like me
searching far across the sea
Maybe you are just like me
Hoping things will turn around


What If I could throw it all away
All the pain in me
And if today never comes your way
Just take it and let it be
let it be...


Le'Vasiz-there's more where that came from.

The Day Le'Vasiz comes Right.

...too bad for Le' Vasiz as they didn't do well for the AsianBeat band competition. Well, I guess it never came our way . Hopefully, the next time we could make it right.
Heck lar, I'm not gonna sit and moan like mourinho here. This is a happy blog. not.
Anyway, the members of levasiz have forgotten about the shite that happened in the band competition and have begin to look forward. No looking back in anger.

To proof my statement, we have started writing again. New material have been coming in our minds every day. The first of the new material we have wrote is 'The Day I'm Right' by the lead vocalist of Le'Vasiz, Leroy. This is an amazing song by the way with very powerful lyrics.
Here it goes.

I'm fading away

So this will be an update on Le'Vasiz and what they had the past week or so , which was Asian Beat and the jamming practices leading to the event. As you guys should know, levasiz didnt make it through the next round of the Asian Beat competition. I honestly don't know what the judges were listening too, besides around 5 bands , the rest of the 35 bands were playing the same type of music which was metal rock. I guess the judges had something in their ear in that same time.

Okay, I think i should stop ranting on the competition/judges and blame it all on ourselves. not. Anyway , it wasn't our best performance but it wasn't our worst either.We just did okay i guess... We're fading away....

The Life Of Le'Vasiz and Their Music

First let me tell you on our song choice and how we manage to choose one in such a short period.
Leading to this competition, the guy that has been writing tunes was Marvin. Since we've started, levasiz have always played an original song for any kind of band competition. This time they chose to pick a song made by marvin . It all started on the first day of jamming, Marvin had 3 songs for show. The members of levasiz had 2 agree on one song to play for Asian Beat.Well, marvin started the set with a few acoustic performances. I believe all the songs were nice okay but one song stands out the most which was 'All that I know Is That I Don't Know' .We still don't know why we chose the song but all that we know is that we don't really know.

Now I 'm gonna write about our daily schedule, through out the whole of last week, all we did were music and nothing else. Right after school, we'll all head back home for a short rest before we drive to joel's house. The first thing we do is always stepping inside the heavenly like jamming room in Joel's house. The aircond , aircond, carpet, camera, instrunents, amps and did i mention air-cond. So, we'll normally start jamming from 3pm right to 7pm with a lot of stuf f in the middle non-stop. We'll end up taking a break at around 5pm without fail at every jamming session. We will normally take a short walk to perling mall and the first shop we'll go there is to Le'Vasiz 's favourite restaurant ,McDonalds. Well , i would like to thank McDonalds in this blog for being kind enough to supply levasiz with meals they can't live with without.
Right after tea, we'll all head to the game arcade centre. There, Shahrul will be playing his 'TimeCrisis'(he's quite good in this) and the rest will run straight to Daytona.
Overhere, Le'vasiz will like to thank all our parents for giving us the freedom to do all this stuff and for being very supportive especially Joel's parents who let us hang out in their house the whole week. Then there's our biggest fans which is our friends....you guys know who you are,don't you?



At the eve of the band competition, Le'Vasiz had another special photoshoot session in.......place not to be named. We needed to submit a picture to submit to the fellas in charge of the AsianBeat competition.

On the competiton day itself, we did a couple of things right before the competition like getting our hair done by Touch Saloon. They became our hairstylist for the day. We had to pay zero bucks for something that cost around RM40. We were living the high life I guess. We would like to thank nigel's father,Mr.Loh for the hair and his saloon as well. They were great. So , anyone who wants to get their hair done , go to Touch Saloon in holiday plaza in the top floor.




Now, I should summarize up the story of LeVasiz in AsianBeat. The whole band competition started out at 2pm(malaysian time meaning 3pm). Luckily for Leroy's lucky hands levasizmanage to draw an early slot. We were the 12th band to perform. We were lucky enough not to take a slot at around 7pm-10 pm. How did Le'Vasiz fare against the other 39 bands in JB ? well, all that i know is that i dont know but I believe we did okay but not our best . We had problems here and there but It wasn't a bad performance. At least our music were different from the other shite metal-influence bands.

I've posted our performance here. So take your time and have a look. Leave comments too.





'ALL THAT I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T KNOW'-Le'Vasiz

Sitting inside a room waiting for the rain to stop,
As I look into the hour glass, I feel lost,
Don't you cry, don't you sigh, no you don't have to buy
And you're standing while you're waiting for your chance to come

Don't you know the world is moving around the sun,
And you wonder if it'll ever come your way....

I don't think that I'll be there,
As I'm fading away and I don't care
I hate the way that even when you know
that you are wrong , you say you're right
And don't you know that all you know
is that you really don't know
You really don't know(I'm fading away)......

Lying on my bed and waiting for the sun to shine
As we look into the life inside our little heads
Don't you cry,don't you sigh, no you don't have to buy
And your sitting waiting for your car to drive real far

Don't you know the world is moving around the sun,
And you wonder if it'll ever come your way....

I don't think that I'll be there,
As I'm fading away and i dont care
I hate the way that even when you know
that you are wrong , you say you're right
And don't you know that all you know
is that you don't really know
You really don't know(I'm fading away)......

All you know is true...
All you know is true...
All you know is true....
All you know is true....

I don't think that I'll be there
As I'm fading away and I don't care
I hate the way that even when you know
that you are wrong you say your right
And don't you know is that all you know
Is that you really don't know
You really don't know....(I'm fading away)

Le Vasiz
Free Us From Pain
2006

The world in our heads

A Le' Vasiz banner....Currently there's only one in this wonderful world!

So, where should I start . The pain?The exams? Te music ? Asian Beat? Let me go back to square one. By today , after three weeks of torture, the members of le'vasiz are done with all their exam papers. We are not sure on how we did but I guess we'll be fine. We'll get what we get I suppose but we still want to pass the exams with flying colours or maybe just walking colours. The whole exam period we were in a scenario where we could answer questions like given f(x) =1-2x and g(x)=4+x, find fg....but we couldn't answer questions like 2+2=? correctly. Believe it or not, we answered 5 for that question. Therefore, 2+2=5 .
Argh........

From the above paragraph , we can conclude that Le'Vasiz are free to do WHATEVER they want now.

Le'Vasiz will probably be back to the studio/jamming room by next week and do some practices before we head on to AsianBeat band competition. We're all charge up and ready to go. So it's music 24/7 for next week. By the way, we haven't decided yet on which song to sing. If we're gonna do something let me settle the music scoreshit sheet.


Eh, you guys want musical notes or tabs?


Last but not least , I would like to say the property of matter to resist any change in its motion or its state of rest is inertia......oops!! the exams must have really made me sick. I just wanted to say that there's a new le'vasiz sticker. The black one above . The old one was really a hit as the old sticker were past around to places in JB ,KL , schools, playgrounds, whiteboards, tuition advertisements and maybe toilets too. For example, look below ...




This picture was taken by a friend who spotted the sticker in some ulu place in Johor!!


well , I'll end my report here. Like some ucapans, they end it with a pantun or something but I'll end this post with a song instead. Something different....

This song is chosen because the exams were so...Hard Easy that I could not answer at all. answer the questions with both my eyes close.This song is also dedicated to the millions out there who had their exams in the past few weeks / last month. It's merdeka now!


The Student(a cover of coldplay's 'The Scientist") edited lyrics.
Note: This is more like a tribute than a parody. Btw, I love coldplay.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and language
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me I love add.maths, you must be kidding
Oh and I rush to the start
Drawing some circles, scratching our heads
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame i couldn't start
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start


The End. All that we know is that we don't know. tous je sais est tous je ne sais.
Another puzzle to solve ?


Le' Vasiz are gonna live forever.....vivre pour toujours
Free Us From Pain

All that I Know Is that I don't know..

Finally Le'Vasiz are freed from the exam pain.
Now, we got all the time in the world to do what we want.
Well, let me start the run of post with a new, long-awaited song. Its actually been a long time since Le'Vasiz had wrote something new. So , this is it , a newly written and compose song in 20 minutes.

First, let me explain the story behind the song. Basically, the song was made as I was feeling bored at home waiting for the heavy rain to stop. As I tried to figure out something better than just sleep the whole afternoon which I ended up doing, I grabbed my acoustic guitar and just played around with it. It wasn't long before i manage to find out the music and the lyrics for the song. So , this is it.
Just for the fun of telling you, this song is also inspired by the torture I had during the HORRIBLE 'heaven-like' period of 3 weeks of EXAMS.

ALL THAT I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T KNOW

Sitting inside a room waiting for the rain to stop,
As I look into the hour glass, I feel lost,
Don't you cry, don't you sigh, no you don't have to buy
And you're standing while you're waiting for your chance to come

Don't you know the world is moving around the sun,
And you wonder if it'll ever come your way....

I don't think that I'll be there,
As I'm fading away and I don't care
I hate the way that even when you know
that you are wrong , you say you're right
And don't you know that all you know
is that you don't really know
You really don't know(I'm fading away)......

Lying on my bed and waiting for the sun to shine
As we look into the life inside our little heads
Don't you cry,don't you sigh, no youdon't have to buy
And your sitting waiting for your car to drive real far

Don't you know the world is moving around the sun,
And you wonder if it'll ever come your way....

I don't think that I'll be there,
As I'm fading away in a black parade
I hate the way that even when you know
that you are wrong , you say you're right
And don't you know that all you know
is that you don't really know
You really don't know(I'm fading away)......

All you know is true...
All you know is true...
All you know is true....
All you know is true....

I don't think that I'll be there
As I'm fading away and I don't care
I hate the way that even when you know
that you are wrong you say your right
And don't you know is thta all you know
Is that you really don't know
You really don't know....(I'm fading away)



That' all folks....The music for this song is sort of melodious too. The chords for this song were taken from wonderwall originally made by me. I made a new tune out of it. Anyway, nice song title,huh?
