Music Update #4 | Country Music

Assalamualaikum and hye readers! Kali ini nak share sikit pasal country music. A type of music yang kurang di dengari oleh orang-orang kita. Macam mana aku boleh tertarik? Tak tahu lah..

Antara penyanyi-penyanyi musik country yang aku minat adalah Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts. Ada juga antara lagu-lagu Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus juga berentak kan country music dan diadun dengan sedikit rentak pop. Susah nak explain macam mana beat lagu-lagu ni, lebih baik anda cuba dengar..

#1 Brad Paisley - Remind Me (Duet with Carrie Underwood)

#2 Rascal Flatts - Easy featuring Natasha Bedingfield

Setakat ni dapat tangkap tak beat lagu-lagu ni? Banyak daripadanya menggunakan guitar dan "suara dalam", macam Scotty McCreery kat video di bawah ni..

#3 Scotty McCreery - I Love You This Big

Selalunya lagu-lagu country ni banyak memasukan elemen keagamaan/ketuhanan dalam lirik mereka. Tapi bukan lah untuk kita mengikutinya. Pandai-pandai lah kan kalau nak melayan lagu pun. Nak contoh, dengar yang ni..

#4 Taylor Swift - Change

Perasan kan? Tapi tak semua macam tu. Ada jugak yang boleh melayan perasaan. Sentimental, macam kat bawah ni..

#5 Taylor Swift - Back to December

#6 Rascal Flatts - What Hurts the Most

#7 Rascal Flatts - Here Comes Goodbye

Selain itu, terdapat jugak lirik-lirik yang menuju kepada yang tersayang. Seperti memberi penyedaran dan petunjuk. Ala-ala nasyid sikit. Lagi di ingatkan, perlu berhati-hati dengan lirik lagu..

#8 Carrie Underwood - Temporary Home

#9 Carrie Underwood - Mama Song

#10 Lauren Alaina - Like My Mother Does

Ada juga dikalangan lagu-lagu country yang di sunting untuk memberi semangat. Contoh yang paling baik adalah lagu ini..

#11 Rascal Flatts - Unstoppable

Adakah anda familiar dengan lagu Justin Bieber - That Should Be Me? Lagu original menampilkan rentak pop, tapi bila di country-kan, dan digandingkan dengan penyanyi bersuara dalam, inilah jadinya..

#12 Justin Bieber - That Should Be Me featuring Rascal Flatts

Untuk pengetahuan, kebanyakan lagu-lagu country masa kini telah dimasuk kan rentak pop. Dengan adanya beat sebegini, lagu country dapat berkembang ke peringkat internasional. Kalau di ikutkan, lagu yang betul-betul country adalah seperti dibawah..

#13 Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel

Jangan risau, even aku pun susah nak terima lagu macam yang di atas ni.. Apa-apa pun, masing-masing ada citarasa tersendiri, kan!? Tepuk dada, memang sakit. So tanya je diri anda. Anyway, di bawah akan aku list kan lagu-lagu yang aku layan dan juga sesetengah lagu yang pernah popular di Malaysia. Enjoy!

#14 The Band Perry - If I Die Young

#15 Lady Antebellum - Just A Kiss

#16 Reba McEntire, Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You

#17 Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me

#18 Carrie Underwood - Undo It

#19 Taylor Swift - Sparks Fly

#20 Train - Merry Me

Ok, yang #20 tu tak de kene mengene! I think, that's all friend! Apa pandangan anda? Share lah di ruang komen! Sekian

Thought #1 | Future Malaysia

Assalamualaikum and Hye readers. I was sitting back this morning with my coffee, like any other day since I ended college. Then I read this post from carlsamsudin.blogspot.com. It was "Saya Tak Nak Najib Razak, Saya Tak Nak Anuar Ibrahim! Tapi.." and I was like "OK, this guy has his own vision and idea.". Surprisingly, I was inspired with his post, especially when I saw the embedded videos. I start to think, they (our previous leaders) have successfully build our country, what is my contribution to Malaysia?

Like my mother said "Masa mak tak lama lagi, esok masa korang..". And I answered, "Kalau teruk sangat, pindah je lah ke luar negara.." And she was like "Habis tu tak kan nak biarkan saja negara kita?" I'm speechless.

Looking at this political state in Malaysia right now, I have no idea what will happen next. In split second after I flash back my talk with mak, I remember a Dato' said to me after his talk during my Kursus Induksi last December. He shook my hand and said "Inilah bakal pegawai yang berpotensi.." I smiled with no other word to say. Mungkin ada mesej yang hendak disampaikan oleh Dato' tu. Beliau dah lama berkhidmat. Nearly 60++ years, (I recall) and people with his experience (he once live in Japan as an ambassador) maybe sees something out of me. And my mak cik(s) always tease me "Nama dah ada.. bla bla bla..", "Dr. Umar.. bla bla bla.." (InsyaAllah kalau ada peluang!) I thought "Do I make a good leader?" I should ask my friend..

I do care on how my country was doing right now. There's all this fighting on "who's good, who's bad..", "he can do it, he can't" and the list goes on. It is better for those people to sit back and have a discussion on how to build our country for a better future. Seeing the world economy, all the natural disaster lately, do we have time to do all this fighting that will end up NOTHING. Sudah-sudahlah, it's time to move on!
