• EDUCATION

    Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of others, but may also be autodidactic. Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. Education is commonly divided into stages such as preschool, primary school, secondary school and then college, university or apprenticeship.

  • SCIENCE

    Science is the concerted human effort to understand, or to understand better, the history of the natural world and how the natural world works, with observable physical evidence as the basis of that understanding.

Our Last Night - Sunrise [Cut Scene, Video Clip, and Song Lyrics)

Posted by ritma on 06:02


OUR LAST NIGHT
-- o --

CUT SCENES






SUNRISE (VIDEO CLIP)





SUNRISE (SONG LYRICS)

Full of despair inside a darkness
Self conscious and scared, held prisoner of war
Running out of air, buried in a sadness
Want a way out of this paralyzing world
And the sound of the cries when a family's loved one dies
It echoes through a vacant room where a young soul still resides

When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)

Searching for a way to escape the madness
A dire need for change as we fight for better days
The hurt and the pain cut deep like a razor blade
Holding in a cry for love, abandoned and afraid

When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)

I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)

When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)

I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)
Until a difference is made

(From time to time, there arise among human beings,
people, who seem to exude love, as naturally as the sun gives out heat.)

Review: THE OTHER SIDE, song which is full of sufferings story

Posted by ritma on 00:39



        Dari judul diatas, mengapa begitu? Ya, karena liriknya menggambarkan sebuah keluarga dengan suasana rumah yang penuh dengan pilu, hening, penderitaan, teriakan histeris, dan masih banyak lagi yang bisa dideskripsikan dari lirik tersebut.
          Langsung saja, lirik lagu yang sedang saya bahas disini yaitu lagu dari Smile Empty Soul, Band asal Santa Clarita, California.
          Berjudul The Other Side, secara pribadi, lagu ini telah berhasil menyita perhatian dan minat saya untuk mereviewnya lebih dalam.
          Oke, pertama-tama, mari kita lihat lerlebih dahulu bagimana keseluruhan liriknya... check this out! xD


---------------------------------------------------------------


       The Other Side

I walk into the room. You don't have to scream I can hear you
Bad trip, the needle sticks. You get your fix from confrontation
I try to make it past. I don't wanna get into it right now
Can't this family have one day to get away from all the pain

And through the night I see the light shining from the neighbor's windows
I dream of life where I'm safe in a home where I am not alone
Some day I will lay me down on the grass where everything is greener
It always seems so good on the other side

I'm sick of all the heat
You can taste the hate in the air running through this family, uncomfortably
It's burning me. Is anybody there?
In your eyes there's nothing to see
Just because your dreams have died. Don't drag me down, I've still got mine

Neighbor boy runs up to me, his eyes all black and blue
I say what happened to you boy, he said my daddy flew
Off the hook 'cause I was playin' too loud
I guess he couldn't hear the TV
He said son I'm a teach you a lesson
And then he .... and then he....

Maybe it's not so good on the other side
Maybe it's not so good on the other side
But it always seems so good, on the other side
It always looks so good .... it always seems so good


-------------------------------------------------------------------------


Well, sekarang saya akan mencoba mereview secara keseluruhan makna yang tersirat dari dalam lirik lagu tersebut, menurut persepsi saya sendiri.

 I walk into the room. You don't have to scream I can hear you
Bad trip, the needle sticks. You get your fix from confrontation
I try to make it past. I don't wanna get into it right now
Can't this family have one day to get away from all the pain

          Dari lirik tersebut. Penulisnya seperti sedang berusaha menggambarkan suatu hal yang sangat menyiksa batin seseorang, di suatu rumah tempat keluarganya tinggal. Saya menerka bahwa keluarganya sudah tidak harmonis lagi, seperti halnya suami-istri dengan satu anak laki-laki/perempuan (?) yang setiap harinya selalu mendengar orangtuanya bertengkar. Penulis disini seolah-olah bertindak seperti anak dari suami-istri tersebut. Ia lantas ingin melupakan kepedihan keluarganya dan tak ingin memikirkannya untuk saat ini. Ia berharap untuk satu hari saja keluarganya tidak terlibat pertengkaran.

And through the night I see the light shining from the neighbor's windows
I dream of life where I'm safe in a home where I am not alone
Some day I will lay me down on the grass where everything is greener
It always seems so good on the other side

          Selanjutnya, Ia melihat cahaya bersinar dari jendela tetangganya. Ia membayangkan bagaimana rasanya hidup dengan aman dan nyaman di dalam rumah dimana Ia tak akan sendiri. Jadi disini saya dapat menyimpulkan bahwa suasana rumahnya begitu kelam dan suram, selalu tak pernah ada cahaya kehidupan dari dalam rumahnya sehingganya dia merasa iri dengan kehidupan tetangganya. Singkatnya, rumahnya selalu gelap dan dia iri dengan rumah tetangganya yg terang (?) /mungkin listrik rumahnya mati/ /plak/

I'm sick of all the heat
You can taste the hate in the air running through this family, uncomfortably
It's burning me. Is anybody there?
In your eyes there's nothing to see
Just because your dreams have died. Don't drag me down, I've still got mine

          Dibagian ini, Ia merasa sangat depresi dengan semua tekanan yang ada di dalam rumahnya. Penulis menggambarkan bahwa jika kita berada di rumah itu, kita akan dapat merasakan ketidaknyamanan dan udara kebencian dalam keluarganya.  Ia sangat tertekan. Ia berusaha mencari seseorang yang mungkin bisa membantunya, Ia ingin mencurahkan segalanya pada orang tersebut. Tak ada harapan lagi di keluarganya. Namun, hanya karena hal itu, ia tak ingin pula keluarganya menyeretnya kedalam penderitaan yang tiada henti. Ia masih ingin melihat masa depannya sendiri.

 Neighbor boy runs up to me, his eyes all black and blue
 I say what happened to you boy, he said my daddy flew
Off the hook 'cause I was playin' too loud
I guess he couldn't hear the TV
He said son I'm a teach you a lesson
And then he .... and then he....

          Entahlah, bagian ini sulit untuk dijelaskan.. karena masih belum jelas apa yang terjadi pada anak kecil yang digambarkan pada bagian ini. And then he... and then he.... tanpa ada kelanjutannya, tiba-tiba ada suara teriakan histeris dari si vokalis Smile Empty Soul. /Screaming yang epic/ semakin buat penasaran, hmmm.....

          Dan yeah, itulah tadi penejlasan yang tidak jelas dari saya mengenai lirik lagu The Other Side milik Smile Empty Soul. Jika kalian penasaran juga gimana lagunya, silahkan download DISINI.

          See yaaaaa~ XD XD
          Don’t forget to leave your comment!!! XP

REVIEW : Paper Walls Song by Yellowcard

Posted by ritma on 22:47




First couple times, I didnt really like it that much cuz it seemed so deaf than like fighting, but guys this song is so awesome!
“Paper Walls” as written by william Ryan Key, Sean Michael Wellmanmackin , Longineu Warren Lii Parsons, Peter Michael Mosely, Ryan Michael Mendez.

This is one of the songs on the album with the same title “Paper Walls”.
Actually this song is not come from the newest album, it comes from album in the year 2007, but it's still great! I personally assume that Paper Walls song is the best song on this album, after that, it is “Dear Bobbie”

The lyrics tell us about escaping from pain and dealing with it and how there is still hope for everything.

Well the first part :
There’s Children sing calmly in the beginning and it is very touching---


Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
Don't listen too close; their words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won
 
This lyric is confirmed to mean that the band members have had rough times, symbolically saying there are walls between them. This album was written about the time before they found themselves again, where they burned the walls down and forgave and forgot.


Let's take what hurts and write it all down

On these paper walls in this empty house
And when our ink runs out
We'll burn it to the ground

Sounds like someone desperately needs an escape from hurt/pain..
"in this empty house" makes it seem like it has to do with trouble at home. :p
Well "what hurts" could be anything from criticism to verbal abuse, depending on how the song would relate to you in particular. Then when the ink runs out, that means that you've gotten all your problems out, and when you burn it to the ground, you're kinda getting rid of the memories.


Here I am, still holding on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone


Here’s my favorite part---


 Don't listen too close; their words are like guns
 With bullets that fly and kill what you've won
 Some love to hate and some tell you lies
 So let's make a toast and kiss them goodbye
 We'll kiss them all goodbye

Me and Dubstep

Posted by ritma on 06:58




Dubstep adalah genre musik elektronik yang awalnya populer di London Tenggara. Saat ini musik dubstep sangat ramai dibicarakan oleh banyak kalangan, apalagi kalangan remaja, termasuk ane juga ehehe..

Awalnya ane ga tau sama sekali sama apapun itu tentang dubstep apalagi tau seperti apa musiknya, tapi karena dulu salah seorang teman ada yang merekomendasiin satu lagu dari Knife Party, yang judulnya Internet Friends, ane langsung suka tuh lagu.. dan mulai deh beraksi nyari sebanyak-banyaknya referensi dari tuh genre musik. Begini nih, mudah banget tertarik sama hal-hal yang baru sampai  bahkan tergila-gila, dan anehnya terkadang cepet juga bosen -_- pffft XD

Musik dubstep itu jenisnya bermacam-macam gan, tapi tentu saja tidak akan meninggalkan kekhasan aslinya, yaitu nuansa elektronik yang kental.  Komposer musik dubstep diluar negeri sangat banyak, sejauh ini yang ane tahu baru Skrillex, Ellie Goulding, Swedish House Mafia, KOAN Sound, Knife Party, Krewalla, Riri Mestica, dan Zedd juga ternyata termasuk aktris dengan aliran musik dubstep loh.. Kalau Steve Aoki bisa dibilang gitu ga ya?? Musiknya juga kental dengan nuansa elektronik, jadi anggap saja iya.. #duagh

 Sedikit tambahan, kalau musik dubstep dari Skrillex ataupun Knife Party itu bisa dibilang termasuk aliran dubstep yang hardcore :v Lebih seperti musik dugem tapi berbeda sama musik techno atau house, dubstep milik Knife Party dan Skrillex memiliki tempo yang cepat dan terkadang juga menampilkan suara-suara teriakan (screaming) yang epic di sela-sela musiknya.


Knife Party - Centipede



Skrillex - First of the Year


Skrillex Feat Ellie Goulding - Summit

Itu sangat berbeda sama musiknya KOAN Sound dengan alunan musiknya yang easy listening, sangat cocok untuk pengiring lagu santai sambil ente baca buku  atau baca koran XD kalau ane sih biasanya dengerin tuh musik sambil ngetik or ngerjain sesuatu di depan monitor, dan kadang juga sambil baca novel. Contoh musik dari KOAN Sound yang super epic ini diantaranya: Starlite, Tetsuo’s Redemption, Santuary, dan Green and Blue. Oh iya, yang judulnya Green and Blue ini juga ternyata soundtrack dari game Halo 4 loh, ga salah lagi kan kalo emang musik mereka tuh bener-bener keren.. >w<b Tapi ingat gan, karena musik dari KOAN Sound ini sangat menentramkan gendang telinga , maka jangan ente jadikan musik ini sebagai ringtone alarm, karena ente bukannya bangun yang ada malah tidur pulas lagi karena denger tuh musik.. Serius deh, keren banget musik-musik KOAN Sound itu.. Kalau ente ga percaya, silahkan cek sendiri ke TKP xD

KOAN Sound & Asa - Tetsuo's Redemption


KOAN Sound & Asa - Starlite


Bagi temen-temen di dunia nyata yang kenal ane #plok ...yang udah baca ini dan pengen tau atau mungkin mau minta koleksi musik dubstep yang ane punya, silakhan aja call me... pasti ane kasih kok tenang aja, dan FREE! Bebas pajak lagi.. /woy!/

OKEEEEH, sekian dulu dari saya..  ^w^

Memphis May Fire - Miles Away (Ft. Kellin Quinn)

Posted by ritma on 19:42



I pack my bags and say goodbye to my wife
For what seems like the millionth time.
They said it gets easier, but they lied.
She looks at me and says "Really baby, I will be just fine."
But then she looks away so I don't have to see her cry.
And that is when I ask myself,

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be?
When I feel so alone, because I left my heart at home.
She needs me, But I know they need me too.
So god give me the strength to do, what you created me to do.

Well really I'm so thankful for the people I meet, the places I've been and the things I've seen.
But when she's not here it doesn't feel like I'm living my dreams.
I know they say, that no one is perfect, but I swear she's perfect for me.
And that makes it so much harder to leave.

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be?
When I feel so alone, because I left my heart at home.
She needs me, But I know they need me too.
So god give me the strength to do, what you created me to do.

[Kellin]
If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away.
Please be strong, Be strong for me.
I need you to show me, how to the change the inside of me
For my heart, for their sake, please be strong, be strong for me.

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be?
When I feel so alone, so alone.

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be?
When I feel so alone, because I left my heart at home.
She needs me, But I know they need me too.
So god give me the strength to do, what you created me to do.


Fall Out Boy returns from hiatus

Posted by ritma on 18:35



Returning from hiatus seems to be the hip thing for punk rock bands to do these days — just look at the recent revivals of Blink-182, Cute Is What We Aim For and Phantom Planet. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, pop-punk band Fall Out Boy is following suit and ready to Save Rock And Roll.

After a little more than three years, word came Feb. 4 that not only is the Chicago-based band to release another album, but that album is already done. Less than two weeks after announcing Save Rock and Roll, Fall Out Boy announced Feb. 14 on their Tumblr page that the release date for the album was moved up from a tentative date in May to a worldwide release April 15 and 16 — all due to the overwhelming response from fans.

If fans were completely surprised by the sound of Fall Out Boy’s new track “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up),” which dropped Feb. 4, chances are they haven’t listened to any of lead vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump’s solo work. The tracks from Stump’s EP Truant Wave and full-length album Soul Punk don’t fit cleanly into any one genre, but shuffle between synthpop, R&B and dance-punk.

Fall Out Boy bassist and main lyricist Pete Wentz also had a side project during the hiatus. Black Cards, Wentz’s other group, creates the kind of electronic music listeners would expect to hear in a dance club. Wentz and Stump both put their time during the hiatus to good use as a kind of musical workshop rather than a departure from the band, bringing new sounds and influences to Fall Out Boy’s once standard pop-punk sound.

The band explained on their website, “… We never broke up. We needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us.” It’s not as simple as “plugging back in,” though. They were clearly rusty during their Feb. 13 performance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — a bit stiff and mechanical, not hitting the notes as hard or as precisely as usual.

But now that they have turned their focus back to Fall Out Boy, it’s only a matter of time and practice before the Chicago boys get their chops back to the level a certain impressionable 16-year-old saw back in 2007.

The show on Kimmel left two big questions for fans: Why were band members glowing in the dark, and why were they dressed as skeletons? Maybe it’s a hint of what to expect concept-wise on their next album. Or there might be no reason. The world may never know. Either way, the costumes were overly quirky and off-putting.

Fans of the band and those who just remember them should get ready, because Fall Out Boy is ready for “The Take Over, The Break’s Over.”
