Lirik ’Please Say Yes’

Please Say Yes

lyrics and music: Joseph Saryuf



So much to tell

I’ve been dreaming about this so long

Don’t know what to say

I believe that I’m in love with u again

And you are, the one who I want to grow old with

And you are, the one who gives me joy so please say yes

And I wish you’re mine so please say yes

And I wish you’re mine



When I close my eyes

There’s a smile that makes my dreams so right

What a happy life I have

And we grow (stronger) in this busy life

Still, when we kiss and it feels like the stars are
shinning bright

What you are, let me hold you again so please say yes

And I wish you’re mine so please say yes

And I wish you’re mine

rinso...

having my feet burried in the cold mud and not being able to dance while my ears captured all the sounds with a perfect details is like the most bizarre thing. I was enjoying myself tonight, and Silent Disco was awesome. Now i really need to clean up the mud from my shoes, and sleep.

Lyrics (Curiouser and Curiouser album)

Lyrics from our 'Curiouser and Curiouser' album, for you who want to sing along, enjoy!

Lirik lagu-lagu santamonica untuk yang ingin bernyanyi bersama...

Better for Us Never
Don't say, don't say anything
To get you out of here
Butterfly in my belly tickles
The temporary insanity

Of all my happy smiles
Rain pours hard down inside
Fireflies give me light
Sadness waits in yellow sky

Chorus:
Everyday I run in circle
I was down with your rejection
My reflection's waiting to be mine
I feel so void

You've made, made it clear to me
And show where I belong
In the story of your life
Where you put me as a joke

This flavor is now missing
No need to apologize
I'm drifting to my dying day
Never felt this good before

Everyday I run in circle
I was down with your rejection
My reflection's waiting to be mine
I feel so void

Bridge:
Keep on guessing what I've been missing
Keep on asking if this path I'm taking is right

Hearing voices long forgotten
Knowing what mistakes are
Too ignorant to admit one
Searching for enlightenment
When soberly taking another wrong step

Wanderlust
A ride in my car
Gleam of the eyes
He smiled at me
Tried not to care

A ride in my car
Smiling, crooked teeth
He's so unreal
Wandered in doubt

Look..the complexity of my journey turned out to be
Look the time is running out maybe he's not for
me

A ride in my car
Fixed gazed at him
Fading grey shirt
Taunting my heart

A ride in my car
Too fast to stop
Curse at my lust
Tears on my cheeks

Look..the complexity of my journey turned out to be
Look the time is running out maybe he's not for me

Plain Song
Dear go watch the shooting star
Never ever let your doubt to hold you down
Dear don't let her walk away
When her kisses were as sweet as lollypop

Dear fear not to fall in love
When the time has come it won't bring any pain
Dear stand up and flash your smile
It would be the greatest gift given to her

Chorus:
Why oh why you keep asking to yourself
Lie and lie is the only word known to you
Say oh say what really lies inside your heart
Try and try never to run away again

Dear the sun will cease you fear
Whenever you think that hope is out of reach
Dear tears won't solve anything
And the best you do is facing everything

Back to chorus

RIBBONS AND TIE
All the pink ribbons
Red ties and blue lashes
Perfect reflection
Thin smile and sweet braces

Call the freckled faces
Dye and blushes
Caress and kisses

Oohhhhh rain will come

Steal glance at rainbows
Old fairies on green leaves
Dance on assumption
Red cheeks and fair graces

Shall I ask for bonbon
Laid in boxes
Send me some blesses

Oohhhhh rain will come

Chorus:
We could fall in love like others do
No one seems to know what we have here
We're running so fast in order to stay
We don't need fairytales we'd do it our way

Sprinkle the sparkles
Mad hatter's tea parties
Chase down white rabbit
Make up for the mirrors

Down to magic sunrise
Beat up the drums
Fret to no one

Oooh rain will come

Chorus:
We could fall in love
Like others do
No one seems to know what
We have here
We're running so fast
In order to stay
We don't need fairytales
We do it our way

Fancy a lip balm
Make love in the meadow
Rest on the green lawn
Fall into the shadow

Too high too low
Too fast too slow

Descent
Kill the light to grow a dream
Longing for my pitch black night to fall
Seek out warmth in the cradle of loneliness

Fear to share the need to care
Honey comes from emptiness
Misery is the only thing worth waiting

Chorus:
It's high enough
I'm breathing the lies
I travel as far as it can go
The time flies too slow
Addicted to love
His wiles keep me alive

To grieve for love, is trusting lies
Feels so good to start again, it's true
Taste the tears and now all words flow endlessly

Sunlight hurts the first of bloom
Call the sea to unseen shore my love
How lovely when the trace of glee is nowhere near

back to chorus

Paperdolls
I am the girl who's been everywhere
My feet traveled to where my heart refused to be
I am the girl who's seen everything
Though some that I've seen remained shut in the hidden place

You may say that I'm an ungrateful bitch
You may point but decency is not my game

After the clock strikes down to five
My glass slippers would finally shatter
Both of my wings leave me alone
Oh, how I love that time the most

Chorus:
Until the last smile had vaporized
Gone with the last gentleman who came to share
It's time to store what's left of my heart

Oh yes you think you're the wise guy here
Your eyes only look but they don't really see it
I'd love to show you I have my own dreams
The strength for my heart and the soul for my broken
song

You may say that I'm an ungrateful bitch
You may point but decency is not my game

My red lips would never say no
You may detest me but save the last laugh
Why try resist what you desire
Soon, you will fall under my spell

back to chorus

The Boy with Stars in His Eyes
What to say, you amazed me
Lost in space no words to say
Your voice travels so fast
It takes me to different place

Charming mouth yes you bewitched me
Come to me now and break the silence
Show love and no more foes
The distance between us soon fades away

chorus:
When he smiles outshining every star in evening sky
Sending warmth throughout the coldest snow in winter night
Erasing doubt lies in maiden's heart, ooh he's gentle with his wand

Ooh capturing my heart

Standing on stage unawared of my feeling for him
Capturing my heart as soon as his voice touching mind

Fail to Bloom
Nobody's child
You're the last
Nobody's child
Here come to rest

Be still
it's a will
the womb
becomes a tomb
it's refused to grow
to follow
the same path
of what to become
my tired earth


Lyrics from our special edition album (Tinkerwish)

Anais Lullaby
Staring at clouds passing by
They're milky white with silver sparkles
Counting on the falling leaves
For such a beauty to come my way

My nights with moon and stars
My days grow under the sun
My ears full of sparrows singing
With lips bearing the words of loveliness

You're my birth of poetry
And I'm the soft whisper of wind
Floating on the tranquil lake
Since you're my rainbow after the storm

My nights with moon and stars
My days grow under the sun
My ears full of sparrows singing
With lips bearing the words of loveliness

Rain stops falling when you smile
Angels come as the day begins
Stars will sleep with my lullaby
Blooming life all my love for you


Tinkerwish
Away away and dream away
And sleep and sleep do not wake up
Away away and dream away
And sleep and sleep do not wake up

chorus:
I love you I love you I love you in silence
I love you I love you I love you in silence
I like it I like it I like it when you're asleep
I like it I like it I like it when you're asleep

speech:
I'm only sane when you're quiet
When your eyes are perfectly closed
When the world's making so much noise
And your heartbeats making music in my ears

The Boy (reprise)
The boy with the stars in his eyes
Standing on the stage, capturing my heart
Instantly when his voice touching mind

When he smiles outshining every star in evening sky
Sending warmth throughout the coldest snow in winter night
Erasing fear lies in maiden's heart, he's gentle with his wand

What to say ooh you amazed me
What to say ooh you amazed me

Standing on stage unawared of my feeling for him
Capturing my heart as soon as his voice touching mind

DEW
I wanna relish the moment
when we're lying in my bed
smoking watched the sun rising
and inhaling each other's scents

Open the windows
and let the breeze touch our skin
Open your eyes
let's make it worth waiting

chorus:
Your whispers were spellbinding
Your kisses infatuating 
Your caress was my oasis

Your whispers were bewitching
Your kisses mesmerized me
Your caress was my oasis

When I gently touched your hair
I could feel you're shivering
As you moved your body closer
I could teel that love had come

Open the windows
and let the breeze touch our skin
Open your eyes
let's make it worth waiting

back to chorus

PRESS RELEASE ALBUM SANTAMONICA “CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER”

Setelah melalui penantian dua tahun lamanya, album penuh perdana Santamonica yang berjudul 'Curiouser and Curiouser' telah dirilis pada tanggal 19 November 2007 dibawah bendera Sinjitos Records. Peluncuran album ini menyusul mini album '189' yang dirilis pada bulan September 2005 yang lalu, dan telah terjual sebanyak 1,000 kopi dengan penjualan yang terbatas.

Di album ini, Santamonica memperkaya musik mereka dengan berbagai ekslorasi sound dan memasukkan unsur-unsur electro-pop, jazz, dan progressive rock ke dalam warna indie pop dan bossanova yang telah menjadi ciri khas mereka. Melalui sepuluh lagu di dalam album ini, Santamonica tidak hanya meredefinisi musik mereka sendiri, namun sekaligus meredefinisi musik pop secara keseluruhan. 'Curiouser and Curiouser' adalah sebuah petualangan audio dan eksplorasi musik pop yang harus didengarkan secara personal untuk bisa dinikmati seutuhnya.

Hadirnya nuansa yang lebih gelap dan eerie sangat terasa di album ini, walaupun warna manis dan optimis masih mendapat porsi di lagu seperti 'Ribbons And Tie' dan 'Plain Song'. Untuk mendapatkan nuansa tersebut, Santamonica banyak melakukan eksperimen dalam proses rekaman mereka dengan menggunakan vokal multi-layer, maksimalisasi fuzz noise dan penggunan analog synthesizer.

Dari segi orientasi lirik, eksplorasi yang lebih dalam dilakukan dengan memasukkan berbagai tema, seperti perbandingan kisah realita dan imajinasi berbalut humor gelap pada 'Wanderlust'; kisah seorang pekerja seksual pada 'Paper Dolls', ketakutan massal pada 'Silent Society', serta ironi dan harapan di lagu-lagu lainnya. Porsi cinta masih memiliki tempat, hanya dengan atmosfir yang lebih gelap, sesuai dengan tema keseluruhan album ini. Selain kisah nyata dan sehari-hari, Santamonica banyak mengambil inspirasi lirik dari buku-buku karangan Lewis Carroll dan Phillip K Dick, serta film-film favorit mereka seperti Un Chien D'Andalou, Rosemary's Baby, Suspiria, The Shining maupun film animasi klasik Disney.

Single pertama mereka, 'Wanderlust' telah diputar perdana pada bulan September 2007 di beberapa stasiun radio ternama di Jakarta dan Bandung, dengan sambutan yang menggembirakan. 'Ribbons and Tie' yang merupakan single ke-dua bahkan menduduki peringkat pertama di chart musik lokal, radio Istara Surabaya. Selain mendapat sambutan yang positif, album 'Curiouser and Curiouser' juga menerima banyak pujian dan review dari berbagai kalangan baik di dalam dan luar negeri.

Video klip untuk single Wanderlust digarap oleh tiga sutradara, yaitu Dibyokusumo, Rudi Hatumena, dan Anton Ismael. Klip ini akan diputar di beberapa stasiun televisi nasional tak lama setelah album 'Curiouser and Curiouser' dirilis. Rencananya video klip untuk single ke-dua dan ke-tiga akan diluncurkan awal tahun 2008 sebagai bagian dari program promosi album perdana ini.
