Our Neverlasting Song


I Believe My Heart

Duncan:
Whenever I See Your Face
The World Disappears
All In A Single Glance So Revealing
You Smile And I Feel As Though
I've Known You For Years
How Do I Know To Trust What I'm Feeling

I Believe My Heart
What Else Can I Do
When Every Part Of Every Thought
Leads Me Straight To You
I Believe My Heart
There's No Other Choice
For Now And Ever My Heart Speaks
I Can Only Hear Your Voice

Keedie:
A Lifetime Before We Met
Has Faded Away
How Did I Live A Moment Without You
You Don't Have To Speak At All
I'd Know What You'd Say
And I Know Every Secret About You

I Believe My Heart
It Believes In You
It's Telling Me That What I See
Is Completely True
I Believe My Heart
How Can It Be Wrong
It Says That What I Feel For You
I Will Feel My Whole Life Long

Both:
I Believe My Heart
It Believes In You
It's Telling Me That What I See
Is Completely True
And With All My Soul
I Believe My Heart
The Portrait That It Paints Of You
Is A Perfect World Of Heart

Meat Loaf


Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947), better known by his stage name Meat Loaf, is an American rock musician and actor of stage and screen. He is noted for the Bat out of Hell album trilogy that he created consisting of Bat out of Hell, Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell, and Bat out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose and several famous songs from popular films. The Neverland Express is the name of the band he fronts as its lead singer. In 2001, he changed his first name to Michael. Despite setbacks (including multiple bankruptcies), Meat Loaf has had a successful music career, spawning some of the largest-selling albums, and breaking several records for chart duration. Bat out of Hell, the debut album which had been four years in the making, has sold over 37 million copies[citation needed]. After almost 30 years, it still sells an estimated 200,000 copies annually, and stayed on the charts for over 9 years. Each of the seven tracks on the album eventually charted as a hit single.

Although he enjoyed success with Bat out of Hell and Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell, Meat Loaf experienced some initial difficulty establishing a steady career within his native United States; however, he has retained iconic status and popularity in Europe, especially the UK, where he ranks 23rd for number of weeks overall spent on the charts, and is one of only two artists with an album never to have left the music charts. With the help of his New York collection of musicians — John Golden, Richard Raskin and Paul Jacobs — his European tours enjoyed immense popularity in the 1980s. In Germany, Meat Loaf became notably popular following the release of Bat out of Hell II but has enjoyed most of his success among pop/rock fans. He ranked 96th on VH1's '100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock'.

Meat Loaf has also appeared in over 50 movies or television shows sometimes as himself, or as characters resembling his stage persona. His most notable roles include Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Robert "Bob" Paulson in Fight Club, credited as "Meat Loaf Aday". In 2007 Meat Loaf granted filmmaker Bruce David Klein exclusive access for a backstage documentary, Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise, shot in February 2007 at the beginning of the singer's tour in support of Bat out of Hell III. The film was an official selection of the Montreal World Film Festival in 2007.

Meat Loaf also performs a lot of charity work, and in June 2008 took part in a soccer penalty shoot-out competition on behalf of two cancer charities in Newcastle, UK. He auctioned shots to the 100 highest bidders and then took his place between the goal posts

Blessed August! Happy Birth Day Royas.


Agustus adalah bulan penuh suka cita buat keluargaku karena 3 adekku merayakan ulang tahun pada bulan ini.
Royas Hatopan Simbolon - 6 Agustus
Agnes Anastasia Simbolon - 21 Agustus
Wilga Aggriani Simbolon - 16 Agustus

Di keluargaku memang jarang merayakan ulang tahun besar-besaran. Biasanya kami selalu memberikan ucapan selamat ulang tahun kepada yang sedang berulang tahun setiap pagi di hari ulang tahunnya. Dan biasanya mama akan masak ayam gule sebagai lambang perayaannya. Tidak ada kado, hanya kecupan dan pelukan dari semua anggota keluargalah yang dijadikan kado. Simple tapi menurutku sangat berarti.

Hari ini tanggal 6 Agustus dan adekku Royas merayakan ulang tahun yang ke-24. Tadi malam sebenarnya aku udah berencana mengucapkan selamat pada saat jam 12 malam. Tetapi mata ini ternyata tidak tahan lagi untuk tidur akhirnya ucapakan selamat kusampaikan besok harinya (maksudnya hari ini). Aku telefon dia begitu sampai kantor. Aku ucapkan wishesku untuk dia yang usianya bertambah 1 tahun dan semakin dewasa.

"Semoga panjang umur ya dek.. semakin dewasa, sehat selalu, cepat lulus dengan nilai yang bagus, rajin berdoa dan rajin ke gereja, cepat-cepat naik sidi, dan semoga makin berlimpah berkat dan rejeki untukmu ya Dek."

Aku pengen sekali memeluk adekku tapi jarak memisahkan. Biarlah doaku, doa kami sekeluarga selalu membimbing dan menemaninya. He is the only brother I have. I love him so much.

Sekali lagi selamat ulang tahun ya dek...
