Tergerak untuk nulis review ini pas baca sebuah majalah wanita yang memilih album ini sebagai choice of the week. Personally speaking, i totally agree with that magazine’s choice. Album Jazz in the City merupakan kompilasi dua puluh lagu-lagu bernuansa jazzy yang pernah ngetop di Indonesia. Lagu-lagu yang ada di album ini pernah populer di tahun 80 an sampai lagu-lagu yang populer di tahun 2000 seperti Feeling Good nya Michael Buble ato High and Dry nya Jamie Cullum. Buat aku, lagu-lagu di album ini paling enak dinikmati sambil tiduran dan baca buku…hhmmm such heaven:). Aku suka semua lagu-lagunya tapi favoritku adalah A Love That Will Last nya Renee Olstead (ring back tone ku)dan Besame Mucho yang dinyanyikan oleh Rosa Passos(aku suka lagu ini sejak kecil karena mama sering banget nanyi lagu ini). Oh ya..suara indahnya Basia juga bisa kamu nikmati di lagu Water of March lho!!!
Try this one, find the art of living you may not expect before.
Cheers…..

1. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.

What I thought wasn’t mine
In the light
Was one of a kind,
A precious pearl
When I wanted to cry
I couldn’t cause
I Wasn’t allowed
Gomennasai for everything
Gomennasai, I know I let you down
Gomennasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
What I thought wasn’t all
So innocent
Was a delicate doll
Of porcelain
When I wanted to call you
And ask you for help I stopped myself
Gomennasai for everything
Gomennasai, I know I let you down
Gomennasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
What I thought was a dream
A mirage
Was as real as it seemed
A privilege
When I wanted to tell you
I made a mistake
I walked away
Gomennasai, for everything
Gomennasai, Gomennasai,
I never needed a friend,Like I do now
Gomennasai, I let you down
Gomennasai, Gomennasai, Gomennasai,
Gomennasai till the endI never needed a friend
Like I do now
Gomennasai…I am sorry…
Friend indeed is a friend in need
Friendship is a sincere relationship where two or more human cretaures share their views, stories, experiences, cries, laughs, disappointements, and happiness. I recall a memory when i was in university. I had several close friends and we always shared our great moments. Sometimes, we admired a same handsome boy, cheatted, hanged out, and ate out together.What a memorable experience. Yet it broke…yes our at last our friendship couldn’t last. The reason behind it i thought was very silly. Anyhow, it could drive our ongoing relationship at that time ruined. Selfishness of us emerged prominently over bitterness or happines we made. Everybody claimed that herself was the right one. Tear poured…….
Nothing could be stronger than a friendship! That’s what i thought. Finally i know that self-centered point of view can mislead it.
