Higher Ground / Idde Schultz

This song is very rare, hard to find. Google offers no direct matches. Torrent and emule did not offer any hits. Yet, its melody and lyrics are simple and beautiful, deserving to be found.

Luckily, there is blog entry that offer a clue, to search into Google groups. And that finally leads to the english version. The song is originally in Swedish (You can find the original song in Youtube). A smash hit in 1995 (in Sweden). The original title is Högre mark (Higher Ground.)

And finding the lyrics online is a unsolvable challenge. I have to get the lyrics in the old fashion way, by listening to it.

Do let me know if there correction required (especially in the 4th stanza)

Higher ground by idde schultz

hey you
it is not that i looking for good news
not expecting any changes in you
no no that not why i am back

hey you
i did not came back to your house again
to find out if you have a brand new friend
it was long ago that i was sick with desire

[Chorus]
I just wanna know a secret
And find out if there is
A blue blue heaven for the bitter
Where we could fly and then land again
On higher ground

hey you,
do u remember when the nights awake
look picture at ice cold space
on a arise as such
when nothing can happens.

[Chorus]

hey you
it is not that i looking for good news
not expecting any changes in you
no no that not why i am back

hey you
i should ask myself the reason why
I think i see the answer in yr eyes
it is a color that, and is not the one I remember

GrandMa

You lie on in the bed, feeling memories flooding over you, wondering why memories of her cames to you, remembering her pampering of you when you are young, remembering how she bought a schoolbag for you when she overheard you asking one from your parent. You remember how disappointed you are that it was not the type you wanted but you still keep till you were in your adult years.

You remember the nurse fondly smiling when they relate the story of how she ask them if she is pretty still after they bathed her. You always remember her cheerful self.

Thou it been years since she went to a better place. You wishes you had make grandma's last days happier.

StanChart 2009 Marathon Bib 20892 (4hrs 37min)

My one and only marathon, it was an experience and finished in 4hrs37min. The training helped. I was able to keep a constant pace for 27km, exhaustion take over after 32 km mark.

Maybe a longer training running distance would had helped me be conditioned to the exhaustion effects. That said, not again, it is too bad for my knees.

Princess on a jet plane

Tonight, dearest Princess is leaving on a jet plane with her husband-to-be. She is so happy and joyful, chirping and smiling, as we walked to the custom gate. And Des matches her character well, a serious, mature and stable person, to her playful, free-spirit and caring nature.

With a mixture of sadness and happiness in my heart, I waved goodbye to her as she crossed past the custom on her way to a new life phase. I wished I said a more proper goodbye to her.

Dear Princess, I will pray for your future happiness and asked God to gave you strength and hope in this new phase of your life.
