And so, you might ask me why I'm posting this utterly random of a blog post about a 2.1 speaker system which nobody will give a **** about. In fact, this has everything and anything to do with the change of blog song.
You see, after hooking up all those what-have-you-nots needed for a successful interface between my lappie and said sound system, I was itching to put this thing through it's paces. So .. one song led to another and .. It came to this song [ which you guys should be hearing as you look through this post. ]
And it brings back some .. memories.

When I first heard this song, It was back during my early days as a newly - minted driver of platoon 3, Mandai Hill Node/Camp. Back then, I was doing my driver orientation training with my Platoon warrant officer, Master Sergeant [ MSG ] Aaron Sham. It was on the road back from Changi Naval Base when he took out his W950I and played this song.
And straightaway, I fell in love with it.
The simple lyrics, the soft rock touch to this love song, even the way the guy [ Rico's his name, I think -.- ] sings it .. It really just wow-ed me away.
And yet .. for all the cute ways that resulted in me knowing this song, there's also this rather awkward memory I have of it. Well, some of you guys should know. For those who don't, I'll prefer to keep it this way. :) After all, I believe I should .. keep this somewhere close to my heart.

Oh well .. the lyrics, once again, for those who are interested.
Nobody knows
Just why we're here
Could it be fate
Or random circumstance
At the right place
At the right time
Two roads intertwine
And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives
To make us
Fuel and fire
Then know
Where ever you will be
So too shall i be
Chorus:
Close your eyes
Dry your tears
'coz when nothing seems clear
You'll be safe here
From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Weary heart
You'll be safe here
Remember how we laughed
Until we cried
At the most stupid things
Like we were so high
But love was all that we were on
We belong
And though the world would
Never understand
This unlikely union
And why it still stands
Someday we will be set free.
Pray and believe
Chorus:
When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here
Save your eyes
From your tears
When everything's unclear
You'll be safe here
From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Wounded heart
When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here
In my arms
Through the long cold night
Sleep tight
You'll be safe here
When no one understands
I'll believe
You'll be safe,
You'll be safe
You'll be safe here
Put your heart in my hands
You'll be safe here
