This City Never Sleeps
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 @ The Nothing Song
To those who had watched Vanilla Sky, do u still remember the scene where Tom Cruise jump down from the building at the end of the show? That was the song which was played in that particular scene.

And finally i've found who is the wonderful singer behind such a soothening yet emotionally stirring soft rock po. Sigur Ros.

I am not really into soft rock, but i didn't know that the answer to the song has been hiding in my CD shelves for years! And i'm not yet to go and explore the answer myself...finally the answer is here. Back to the point. Sigur Ros is a soft rock band from Iceland, and yeah, that was the birthplace of singer Bjork. Their songs simply gets me addicted to it immediately, and now i am craving for more. Thank goodness, i can enjoy some of their songs free from their official website, compared to some website where no free MP3's were provided, and one of them was the singer that i detest most: Sly sim. Yes, i really detest Sly, not bcos he was sly, but more rather, the way how he handle the issue on his marriage, and he treats marriage like masak masak. He also gives me an impression that he was a Jay Chou wannabe.

Anyway, it was really a pity that Sigur Ros is not rally well known in Asia. Just check out with Gramophone and HMV, and found out that Gramophone do not have their album, while HMV had very limited no of copies of their album, where they had only 3 pathetic albums at $41 each.

This is the link if u want to feel the touch of Sigur Ros: www.sigur-ros.co.uk and the Nothing Song is recorded in their album, (_), recorded in 2002. Yep, that's the title of the album. Track? track 4, cos there's no track listing for the 8 track album.

Somewhere around the corner in the city lies a man with some past...
