Cold May

Was thinking of digressing from those slow sad songs because of the fact that today's new year's eve and all, but well, i happened to stumble to on some material i did a few months back which was hardly finished.
Again, this song holds special meaning and its only meant for those moeing. :)
There's this one person i met in May-


Have Yourself A Merry Little New Year

COLD MAY

New Year's eve and its the same as last year
Foolish boy its still that sunny afternoon
there's no point the clocks don't go any faster
rough it out past the gloomy moon

think you hit a dry spell, no you're wrong
cos all you gotta do is smile
then you end up playin a stupid song
ya know it'll only help for a little while

shooting stars don't go any slower
you turn too slow and it's not there
she's so sweet with a face like heaven
big shocker man, she's already taken

What's the use, You've got nothing to lose
What's the point, i ain't got a choice
I'm so far away, and it's already May
It still rains, so cold, on me, so cold, on me

Valentine's and its the same as last year
Foolish boy it's still that lonely white table
there's no rose cos there's nobody to hold ya
love your dreams but its only on paper

Its your birthday it's the same as last year
8 ball says its decidedly so
you write your life and you end with a comma
the list goes on, you're getting older

shooting stars don't go any slower
you make a wish and its all over
she's so sweet with a face like heaven
sorry man, it wasn't in His plan

What's the use, You've got nothing to lose
What's the point, i ain't got a choice
I'm so far away, and it's already May
It still rains, so cold, on me, so cold, on me
(so cold,on me, so cold, on me.....)

It's already May and its the same as last year
It still rains so cold...

We'll wait for Marvin's new composition Next Year!

Happy New Year

So....the new year's coming!2007 is coming!

Time to celebrate again.Cheers....

Soon, 2006 will be yesterdays news , and 2007 will be today's and tomorrow's news.

This might be the last post by Le'Vasiz of the year 2006 . Cheers....again.



Enjoy the music while you still can 'coz life's a bittersweet symphony ...

Sweet n Sour Symphony

Tell me whether you can hear this or not?



It's music made and It showcases talent.
Well, this time around the music plays for a length of 1:56.
Give it a try. Play it.

I haven't found the lyrics to fill in the music piece by the way. It's lyric-less.
No inspiration lately. Heck !



Hopefully the rain stops instead of returning when this piece of music is played.

Getting High...on Christmas day

So,we had a merry little christmas.
The first question that you guys should be asking yourself is " Where were you while we were getting high ? "
A line made famous by a few great musicians in a song titled 'Champagne supernova'





Feeling High
I'm sure that's how all of you feel right now,eh? i'm sure you do. It doesn't mean high in the sense that you're high on alcohol or any of those drinks, high can have a meaning of happiness/gayness and just pure fun and laughter. Well, what i know is that most of us will feel high whenever we are hanging out with our friends, family, and more friends and sometimes unknown friends. Don't you agree? well the answer you should be answering to this question will be the exact answer you'll be answering when someone ask you whether you're a human being?....


I can't seem to remember who's house was this.It's either marvin's or leroy's. Let the drunkards decide.

As for le'Vasiz and their friends , we celebrated christmas as if the whole world was singing 'Joy To The World' . We ate till we drop or shite or fell sick or till the food were gone . The whole thing was just great. It couldn't have been better.Or maybe it could.....who knows?
And of course , the night ended with what you think we guys might drink or might not drink in a party. Twisted, huh? It was all turkey n' alcohol. Once everyone hit the 'High' note( like a high C in your music theory), a tidal wave, a landslide ,a flood of crazy stuff started coming in. Some guys started crapping about life(like an adult), some started singing(out of key), some even thought he might drift away from his friends when he should be drifting with a car, and some were just trying to take it all in by sitting on the couch like a drunkard drinking strawberry milk and ribena. We even saw a shooting star which we named it a superstar in the sky,right above the moon(after 5 glasses of you know what.) Soon the night took a change from silent night and holy night to a night that's full of shite XP



Let's move on , what i'm trying to say is that levasiz and their friends had a good time and little christmas day was great. Wow...I'm really drifting away out of topic right now.Anyways, guys let's give ourselves a Christmas present by making a demo album after we are done with what we are undone. It'll do great to the music world. By next year, I want to see A Le'Vasiz album as everyones favourite christmas present.What a nice feeling ,right? ...


Well , let me try to continue this post with a .................erm..

................................................................

Hold on................................computer lag a bit.......

Oh well i guess I should go downstairs and grab myself a drink from the fridge. There's Bacardi, Martini, Vodka, red wine and whisky but I'll get fresh milk instead.Haha.
Merry Christmas.
End of story.




Where were you while we were getting high ? Dont answer this if you got higher.
(under the infuence of wild tukeys alcohol )

I'll Leave the title for later

This may be kinda old material, but i just decided to post it again. it just somehow means so much.
we started off with this song, and its been more than a year and our second christmas together.

Last Christmas, i never thought
that i would ever find someone like you,
and i still can't deny the feeling
when i look at you,
but i know that feeling is for real
and i hope that you have felt it too,
cause i never wanna say goodbye at all,
i wanna tell you that

I will give,
you all of my heart and my soul and i,
wish that you will find me there in you,
cause i had, to try,
baby open up your heart and let me be the one,
standing next to you

The First time i met you
i just knew that it would be right,
Cos i've seen you in my dreams
and i still see you in my mind,
But i'd never wanna see you
with somebody else but me
annd i tell you this
and i swear it's true

I will give,
you all of my heart and my soul and i,
wish that you will find me there in you,
cause i had, to try,
baby open up your heart and let me be the one,
standing next to you

Maybe it's time to say goodbye, maybe its time we tried
maybe it's time i tell you why, i've got you on my mind



well, so the lyrics were actually slightly different, we added a few lines to make a bridge and did some modifications here and there.

This song actually prompted many things, among them more tests with other instruments, there's even one without the string muffling accompanied by the violin. and then there's also the one 4 key higher and you get the drift, but in the end this version seemed the most suited.

Lyrics didn't do me any justice at first, it was nearly almost completely revamped when we sat down and edited it, the original lyrics were erm more, Leroy you could say?... :)

Christmas Brings back many happy memories for us all, and for me, singing this song has the same effect as you wanting to have your annual heavy drinking license.
And you know how it is, that no matter how you cheat yourself into believing that you can take in the booze, it gets to you. No matter how much i dwell on the meaning behind the song, it gets to me. to think i've moved on.
so yeah its sappy, yeah its out of season, but it makes you realise in a way what christmas is all about. Hardship, kinship, commemoration, and in a more commercial sense, The Joys of Giving.. (see 1st line of chorus)

Here's my christmas present to you guys, Joel, Thomas, Shahrul and Marv, last christmas who'd have known how far we would have gone.
anyway, the song wasn't written for you guys ah. you think i gay or what.

Guys, stay together, (we've had some problems recently)
Heads up, its Christmas


Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas,
Let your hearts be warm,
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Merry Christmas

Have Yourself A Great Big Christmas

Celebrate with us....
Drink with us.....
Eat with us .......
Get High with us.....
Sing with us...

Let's all shout.
" MERRY CHRISTMAS "

Be Here Now

I got a suggestion to all of you . Instead of being an acoholic or whatever-holic you are, let's become a soundaholic. For a start, we can all take the first step by clicking the midi file below. It won't take you long,trust me! It's like instant mee but the only difference it's great music. So as you hear this piece of artistry , I suggest that you guys should just sit back on your rocking chair beside the fireplace and let the music play as you try to breathe some fresh air into your lungs. That's it for now. Merry Christmas.



Turn up the volume...




Season's greetings



MJ
Merry Christmas




The symphony part 1

Light Up

What's up , doc? Well,It's another chrismas song from Le'Vasiz. This time it's 'Deck the Halls', lovely song I should say. I love the Fa la la la la la las . It's a classic, so, it's only right if I made a tribute to the song by changing some bits of the lyrics. Not. Well, I had nothing better to do, so don't complain.


Anyways, while i was writing the lyrics of the song I was wearing one of these red and white christmas hats. You may think it's ugly but they are actually nice comfy silly hats to wear in this period of the year.Great fun.I wore this to singapore, city square , malls in JB and almost everywhere I go. People must have been thinking I 'm some kind of weird guy ! (laughs) .....Tis the season to be jolly.



Deck the Halls

Deck the blogs with lots of candy
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
'Tis the season to be silly,
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Don you now your gay(homo) apparel,
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

See the blazing rain upon us
Na na na na na na na na na
Scratch your head,dont sing the verses
Na na na na na na na na na
Follow me if you have amnesia
Na na na na na na na na na
Hope they'll snow in Malaysia
Na na na na na na na na na

Fade away with your carcasses,
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Hell! the new, the old, wiseasses,
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Sing we joyous 'Live Forever'
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

The song ends with " you know who " shouting Hohohohoho....merry christmas!

That's all folks.



Doesn't it feel like Christmas? Lovely, huh?

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

All I want for Christmas....

Finally, a christmas carol in the Le'Vasiz blog. Here, i've posted a song titled 'All I want for Christmas..' with some edited lyrics. Sing along if you want to. Can't believe it's so clos to christmas already.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS.......(my two drumsticks)

Everybody stops
and stares at me
These two sticks are
gone as you can see
I don't know just who
to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
is as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmas
is my two Drumsticks,
my two drumsticks,
see my two drumsticks!

Gee, if I could only
have my two drumsticks,
then I could play for you
"Merry Christmas."
It seems so long since I could say,
"All I know Is that I don't know!"

Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,
if I could only blow..

All I want for Christmas
is my two Drumsticks,
my two drumsticks,
see my two drumsticks!.
Gee, if I could only
have my two drumsticks,
then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas."





Ah...the two drumsticks!Those are the Ahead JoeyJordison seriesJoel series.

Things I wish I wrote

A new segment in this the blog and its titled 'things i wish I wrote' . Well, this is the first out of many songs which I wish I wrote and It's titled "Rock n Roll Star". I wished I could just turn back the time or get myself a Time Machine from einstein or whoever, then I could have gone down In history as the person who wrote this song. This is like the rock anthems of all rock anthems. It's either total arrogance or just pure self-confidence. Whichever It is , nobody cares. D'ya know what I mean ? If you don't, nevermind. Even by analysing the lyrics , there's a line for everybody. I know you guys who are reading are all living in the city and I know for a fact all of you feel like the days are just moving to fast for you.See , I told you people.Just read It and you'll somehow understand what I mean.


Rock 'n Roll Star

Live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
Need some time in the sunshine
Gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
Cos in my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel

Tonight I'm a rock n roll star ...
Tonight.....I'm a rock n roll star




Anyways I hope someone in the band writes something like this and present it . Then , it will really start a chain reaction for better things to come.

Forget about this post !

Music made by....

So, It's been a long time since I blogged about topics besides new songs and new music production from Le'Vasiz. Since it's the end of the year I'm gonna make a special post today. As i was going through my history of blog posting , I realised that I was missing something. There was something that I've never really emphasised in this blog.
And the thing was our instruments. Currently, nobody knows what type of instruments Le'Vasiz have been using all this while. It's kind of funny though coz I've never gave a shit about the instruments we use.
...............Here it goes...........



The picture you see here is a picture of a guitar owned by our vocalist, leroy but is oftenly used by our lead guitarist , shahrul. It's one of those guitars from the Yamaha Pacifica series. the only difference with leroy's guitar and the one in the picture is the colour of the guitar. Leroy's guitar is in wooden-light brownish colour and black. It's a totally comfortable guitar to use by the way.




Cool, huh? Now this is a Squire M80 and it's used by Marvin. The one Marvin has now is black in colour and comes with a embedded black & white Le'Vasiz sticker behind the neck of the guitar.So, the whole package now is worth a million bucks. It's a totally okay guitar I should say . The price range isn't bad either. It's worth more than your house. NOT.




Now, here's the guitar that all you geezers should be jealous of. This is a semi-acoustic OVATION guitar. It's joel's and It's gonna burn a hole in your pockets if you ever purchased one . This is one for the music lovers. A strum on it and you're stuck with it forever. The sound you get from it is just out of this world. The guitar that defines Le'Vasiz music.
Funny enough, the Ovation guitar was only used twice for performances by Le'Vasiz but used several times for practices most notably the All That i Know Is That I dont Know sessions.



AHA. A headless bass, one of the things that separates Le'Vasiz from other bands.
The reason It's in the band is because it's just such a unique thing that you rarely see bands use these kind of creations . The headless bass is such a cool toy to have that sometimes you might freeze when u play on it. For example, Thomas, in our first few performances, couldn't move a single muscle while playing with it. He still manage to fork some music out of it though.


Too bad, I got no pictures of the drums Joel has been using but I got a picture that we are tring to get him. It's a TAMA and it's one of those rare sets from the brand. Look below.

Hopefully, there's a 50% discount for the drums in this holiday season.

Well besides that , we experiment our music with the keyboard too but It never makes the cut in our live performances. Again, like most of our instruments it belongs to Joel. Most of the time the keyboard just sits at the corner of the room waiting for someone to play on it.




I think I've explain it all . That's info for you people I guess.


Now, I'll tell you what Le'Vasiz would like to have for Christmas. Hopefully, Santa takes some time of his work and have a Latte while surfing through the net and coincidentally stop by the levasiz blog and see this post.



These guitars will be a great addition into the studios of Le'Vasiz. Fender stratocaster and two Gibson Les Paul.

If only we had a bigger a room , we could probably add this in too. Just for show.

.....or maybe not.

High..

Let's see. This is another song that has been written by the lead vocalist of Le'Vasiz . Guess who ?
Well, again this song is full of twisting and meaningful lyrics all together. I don't know the inside out of this new song but its meanings and who it's meant for is obvious if you just took a while just to look inside.It's sort of a retort. So, if you're getting high, it's not worth the aggravation.



Forgive yourself and move on
Forget the pressure you're put on
No need for silence in the calm
No need for muted playing dumb
You're breath just one to save it
You're brain's just two so waste it
When you're floundered in some filthe
Find your solace in yourself

A battle raging inside ya
A war that's fumbling for some time

Devoted need for pleasure
Aesthesia the world cannot provide
You try to run from anguish
You're better of writing of you're death wish
Don't you know you've got a promise
You think you're muck but even this is
True, there's nowhere but high
sometimes you might be right
Hold on to your final stride
You've got time on your side

A withened whisper haunts ya
The remedy becomes your master now
You thought the pain is over
Here comes the circus into town
one leg down in your own grave
You dug the whole in the first place
there's someone who can help ya
It's he you see in the mirror



The end.
Where were you while we were getting high?

Cheers....

Firstly, I would to give a toast to everyone who has been behind Le'Vasiz ever since they got started. A special thanks to you guys who have been visiting this blog and to the guys who have contributed to this blog. Let's get our cups full.
Wooohoo...

By now you might be asking, why the celebrations and thank yous and all those crap ?

Well apparently, Le'Vasiz reach their 5000th hit/visitor today . Congratulations to Leroy who was the first person to visit this blog and becoming the 5000th visitor. This blog is only 6 months old and it has already reach 5000.....gauze. Unbelievable ? Believe It.


After that , you'll be asking, "what the hell is so good about the hits and all?and what is there in 5000 hits ?". Let me answer your question.

The number of hits you receive are stated in your hit counter. It gives you the amount of people who have visited your blog . So currently , levasiz has 5000 plus.
Hear me out, I know boasting writing about the hits you receive is a stupid thing to blog about coz it just shows your...blablabla but then, 5000 is really a big number, wouldn't you agree? I don't think many bloggers have had this sort of success with their blogs when they started. If you think closely, there aren't many blogs you know that can reach 5000 in just 6 months. So all I can say is cheers....get yourself a nice drink and celebrate with us.


A special sticker for a fine day like today.


To go with the post, It's only right if I release some new writing material by the songwriters of Le'Vasiz. currently there are at least 3 other songs written by levasiz that i haven't posted here in this blog. So, the next few post by me ,you can expect new songs that are not yet unleash. Well, this song I'm posting right now was actually written right after the 5000th hit. Its a song about not changing the way you are and just let things pass you by. The melody for this song is something that you'll expect from us . It's nice , melancholic, and it's levasiz music.


Don't Change

I've always said, please don't worry,
Coz in this life , there are many stories
that don't make any sense at all
And when your tries haven't been working
and your life's about to fall
and your losing your control
Please Don't change


And you need to let it go
coz it's time you're standing tall.
Just believe in what you believe
Don't change, just stay the same.


We've been through a lot since lately,
sometimes things just got ugly
But things are okay now...
All the walls that are in between us
they don't make any difference
come alive and live your life
Dont you change



And you need to let it go
coz it's time you're standing tall.
Just believe in what you believe
Don't change, just stay the same.
Don't change, and stay the same

It's gonna live forever
Le'Vasiz

Let's sing again!

Look! It's december. My gauze, time flies pretty fast these holidays. It's the same throughout the whole year actually. Can't believe it's the last month of the year already. Too bad we can't slow the time down or Stop the clocks.

As the end of the year is nearing, there's this space of 29 days more for writing songs this year. So, here's another written song by Le'Vasiz. This song was written a few minutes hours ago before i posted this post and It's about ...............read the song title.
Maybe the song is about the holidays that are just moving to fast for me. Anyway , this song is inspired by friends and everything that's happening all around me in during the past few days

In your mind

Hey, how do you feel on sunday morning?
The sun is bright, I hope you're alright
Come on, please wake up,the birds are singing
songs you've never heard before in your life

It's been tiring, you feel like sleeping
You need a rest, stop creating a mess
We can talk all night and see what's coming
We dont care about the mess we made last night

Around the corner, you'll see time's flying by
You're under cover, you know it's almost over
It's been hard for you cause time is passing by
And when they say its over,you're gonna release what's
in your mind
your mind

Could this be real, you're hands on the wheel
or you're in a race with no end or start
Walking down a street, to where we meet
Please don't be late cause i don't wanna wait ...

Around the corner, you'll see time's flying by
You're under cover, you know it's almost over
It's been hard for you, cause time is passing by
And when they say its over,you're gonna release what's
In your mind
your mind , your mind, In your mind-(till the song ends)
"your mind" can be change to "you're mine"

Everybody, In this country(except those few idiots)
we're gonna do what we're gonna do

In this season, for all reasons
we're gonna do what we're gonna do(repeated a thousand times)



The song then continues with a whole list of christmas songs.
eg: silent fart, jingle balls, Oh Holy Sh##e, Pink christmas, winter wonderwall, The first noel(gallagher), Have yourself a Merry Levasiz Christmas, All i want for christmas is my 2 drumsticks, Twenty days of christmas ,
O come all ye hateful, Hark! the heralds levasiz sings
