This week is gonna be a happening week. First week of the month and I already have 2 gigs lined up for you guys! Most likely I will be performing as 2storeyheart, but if circumstances allow, I’ll have Jason up on stage with me for some acoustic The Wishing. Keep your fingers crossed!
This Wednesday (4th of August 2010) at 9:00pm onwards
Location: Laila’s Lounge, Kelana Jaya
The next one will be at The Bee Cafe for IACT’s open mic.
Thursday (5th of August 2010) from 7:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: The Bee @ Block K, Jaya One
My time slots haven’t been confirmed yet, but do show up for the complete duration of both gigs! There’s always new talent to be discovered at every gig. Hope to see you guys there!
The Wishing performed this song acoustically for the first time last Sunday.
The vocals are pretty soft so you can’t hear much, but anyway, here are the lyrics to the song. Note: I messed up while singing live, so some words don’t match up haha.
The Wishing – Winter Coat
I love to wake up to the ring tone of my Skype
A fresh cup of coffee sitting by my side
I know this call is gonna be good
It’s always good to hear from you
I know it’s late, but it’s okay
Three A.M. doesn’t mean a thing to me
When I get to hear your voice
It’s always good to hear from you
Because over there it snows
You know back home it won’t
And it’ll be eight long hours
’til we see the same sunrise
And if you’re feeling cold
Just close your eyes and know
That if you think of me
I’ll be your loving winter coat
I love to watch you blowing kisses to me on my webcam
You know I’ll tell you that you’ll always be my ten
Oh god I miss those pouty lips
It’s always good to hear from you
And I’m marking the days on my calendar
’til this torturous wait is over
And you’re safely back in my arms
I’ll never let you go, but I’ll pray for now
This music for this song was written by Jason, all I came up with was the rhythm guitars for the chorus. I was struggling to find the right words to fit this song for a very long time, until I looked through some old writings and found these words.
I originally intended this song to be a 2sh song, but I couldn’t come up with any music for it. I decided to try singing along to Jason’s progression and I thought it fit the song well, so it became The Wishing material instead.
The verse lyrics were written about a month back but I only managed to finish the whole song last week when I was suddenly inspired with the melody and words for the bridge. After that, everything just fell into place.
The lyrics were inspired by 2 friends of mine, who’ve had a long distance relationship spanning thousands of miles for a couple of years and they’re still going strong. Hani and Ferhan, here’s to many more years together! 🙂
Fun fact: This song was originally titled ‘Loving Winter Coat’.
This Sunday at Dataran PJ, there’s gonna be an all day long gig in conjunction with the world cup finals, and it ends with the screening of the final match on some giant screens. Anyway, I’ll be performing with Jason, so do drop by to check out some ‘The Wishing’ material 😉
My next gig will be on the following Wednesday, at The Bee Cafe, Jaya One. This will be the first time I’m performing there. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever been to Jaya One before. Haha.
It’s an open mic event, so if you’re interested to play, head over to the FB page to find out more.
I’m not sure what time I’ll be playing, but the gig is from 7.00pm-9.30pm.
New venue, and possibly some new 2sh songs 😉 Hope to see you guys there!
