21 Guns - Green Day

This is the second single of the band Green Day from their 8th Studio Album "21st Century Breakdown". Why "21 Guns" and not less or more, I don't know with the band (could it be the 21st century in the album title) but what I know is its going to be a part of the movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Do you know what's worth fighting for,

When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

"No Boundaries" - Kris Allen

I'm not a fan of the American Idol show, but this one really got my attention. Kris Allen, this year winner has released his first single, "No Boundaries". The song has a very strong lyrics that really tells us how to triumph in life's challenges and trials.

Here is the lyrics of the No Boundaries:

Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait?
Every moment lasts forever
If you feel you’ve lost your way

What if your chances are already gone?
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
to fight and never walk away

[Hook:]
So here I am - still holding on

[Chorus:]
With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain;
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
Then, take it by the hand and show you that you can

There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

[Verse 2:]
I fought to the limit, stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets?
Don't know where the future's heading
But nothing's gonna bring me down

I've jumped every bridge and I've heard every lie
I risked being safe but I always knew why -
I always knew why

[Hook:]
So here I am - still holding on

[Chorus:]
With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain;
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
Then, take it by the hand and show you that you can

[Bridge:]
You can go higher;
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule `cause there's nothing between you and your dreams

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe

Yeah!

There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes

There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

Oscar 2009 Pick

I had my own pick in this year's Golden Globe Winners and i was able to predict Kate Winslet and Health Ledger wins, i hope this time i would be able to predict all major awards for this year's Oscar. Its just a prediction anyway, who knows the Oscar will come across my blog and consider my side hehe..

Slumdog Millionaire - my Best Picture for this year's OSCAR, aside from almost swiping all the Best Picture awards in different award giving bodies, it is also doing well in the box office.

Ron Howard - Slumdog will win the Best Picture, but Ron Howard would still take home the award for Best Director for the Film Frost/Nixon.

Kate Winslet - although she is not nominated for the movie Revolutionary Road, its ok, coz it would be her acting in The Reader that would really give her the first ever Oscar.

Mickey Rourke - Its never too late for actors to have Oscar trophy, while Sean Penn has one already, this time it would definitely go to Mickey Rourke.

Amy Adams - after seeing her in the many movies along with Big Stars lately, i could say Amy is really one of them and i think this time she would win her first Oscar too.

Robert Downey Jr. - his acting in Tropic Thunder is really awesome, although Heath Ledger did well in the Dark Knight, i think others deserve the win, and besides he could benefit no more from it. That is why Robert will win for this year's OSCAR for supporting role.

WALL-E - after watching this cute animated film again and again and could have been nominated for Best Picture, I could really say this would win for sure as Best Animated Film this year.
