U2 - Moment of Surrender

I tied myself with wire
To let the horses roam free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me

The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

We set ourselves on fire
Oh God, do not deny her
It’s not if I believe in love
If love believes in me
Oh, believe in me

At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I’ve been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body’s now a begging bowl
That’s begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down ’til the pain would stop

At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

My favourite Movie Quotes

The mythology of Superheros Comic is not only great, it's unique. there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man and it is in that characteristic   Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman, Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman.   His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears,the glasses, the business suit, that's the costume.  That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us.   Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak.. he's unsure of himself, he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on...

Meet And Greet With Munthe..

Tanggal 15 January 2011 lalu di Braga Cafe And Craft berlangsung acara Meet and Greet with Munthe. Acara yang di gagas oleh Mbak Arien (Lady Underground Bandung) ini berlangsung dari pukul 19:00 - 22:00. Banyak audience dari kalangan media, musisi, orang awam (Red: non praktisi musik dan media) yang datang ke acara ini, beberapa diantaranya adalah eks gitaris Turtle Junior, Vokalis Cherry Bombshell, dan beberapa musisi underground asal Bandung serta praktisi musik tradisional. Sempat pikir oleh saya kalau bukan karena percintaan bodoh mungkin band yang saja manajerin (stupid accent) sudah bisa sebesar itu. Memiliki penggemar dan pendukung yang loyal yang memasang karya-karya band tersebut dalam pemutar MP3 nya. Tapi ya sudahlah mungkin memang begitu seharusnya. Di acara ini Munthe memainkan beberapa karyanya yaitu: 1. Shinking 2. I Love Bali 3. Perfect Hard Love 4. The Sun Has Sunset 5. Through The Sky 6. Moonshine On The Sky 7. Flower City Call 8. Running A Hard Breath 9. Pure 10. U...
