on my own

• les miserables müzikalinde eponine in marius için söylediği güzel şarkı..(bkz: lea salonga)
  
  and now i'm all alone again
  nowhere to turn, no one to go to
  without a home, without a friend,
  without a face to say hello to.
  and now the night is near
  now i can make believe he's here.
  
  sometimes i walk alone at night
  when everybody else is sleeping
  i think of him and then i'm happy
  with the company i'm keeping
  the city goes to bed
  and i can live inside my head
  
  on my own
  pretending he's beside me
  all alone, i walk with him till morning
  without him
  i feel his arms around me
  and when i lose my way i close my eyes
  and he has found me
  
  in the rain the pavement shines like silver
  all the lights are misty in the river
  in the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
  and all i see is him and me for ever and forever
  
  and i know it's only in my mind
  that i'm talking to myself and not to him
  and although i know that he is blind
  still i say, there's a way for us
  
  i love him
  but when the night is over
  he is gone, the river's just a river
  without him the world around me changes
  the trees are bare and everywhere
  the streets are full of strangers
  
  i love him
  but every day i'm learning
  all my life i've only been pretending
  without me his world will go on turning
  a world that's full of happiness
  that i have never known
  
  i love him
  i love him
  i love him
  but only on my own..
• les miserables muzikalinin muthis bircok sarkisindan empty chairs at empty tables'dan sonra belki de en cok gonulde kalani..umutsuz asklarin sarkisidir, lakin sesine hayran oldugumuz lea salonga'nin buradaki isterik yorumu yerine bu sarkida muzikalin orijinal londra ve broadway kastindaki frances ruffelle'in yorumu tercih edilmelidir derim, kendisi sarkiyi cidden daha bir hakkini vererek soyler (bosuna tony almamis bu rolle hatun yani)..
• dawson's creek dizisinin (sallamıyorsam) 2. sezonunda joey'nin (ve hatta pacey'nin) katıldığı güzellik yarışmasının yetenek sergileme kısmında söylediği şarkıdır. şarkının giriş kısmında jen'in dawson'la ilişkileri hakkındaki konuşmaya çalışması kısmı da mevcuttur. ancak joey şarkıyı söylemeye başlayınca dawson büyülenmiş gözlerle kendisini izleyekalır, konuşma biter.
• seksenlerin ortalarindan bir patti labelle - michael mcdonald duetidir bu.. evet, slow..
• aynı zamanda three days grace'in çok leziz bir şarkısıdır.
• the used'un kafamdan atmayi bir turlu basaramadigim sarkisi. amcam cok icten bagirmis hakikaten, icinizi acitiyor.
• dawson s creekte katie holmesun söyledigi on my own'un sözleri şöyledir:
  
  on my own pretending he's beside me.
  all alone i walk with him till morning.
  without him i feel his arms around me.
  and when i lose my way i close my eyes and he has found me.
  in the rain the pavement shines like silver,
  all the lights are misty in the river.
  in the darkness, the trees are full of starlight....
  and all i see is him and me forever and forever.
  and i know it's only in my mind,
  that i'm talking to myself and not to him.
  and although i know that he is blind,
  still i say, there's a way for us.
  i love him!
  but when the night is over,
  he is gone, the river's just a river.
  without him the world around me changes,
  the trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full
  of strangers.
  i love him!
  but every day i'm learning
  all my life i've only been pretending.
  without me his world will go on turning,
  a world that's full of happiness that i have never known,
  i love him...i love him...i love him,
  but only on my own.
• ne diyim ben bu adama sözlük kovuyor, bu utanmadan geliyor. sözlüğe girmek için harcadığı enerjinin 10'da 1'ini harcasa ceo olmuştu.
• 80'ler deyince kafamda çalmaya başlayan karışık "kaset"te kayıtlı şarkılardan biri.
  bir patti labelle & michael mcdonald düetidir. her şeysiyle pek güzeldir.
  
  en çok bu kısmını seviyorum.
  
  "this wasn't how it was supposed to end
  i wish that we could do it all again
  i never dreamed i'd spend one night alone
  on my own, i've got to find where i belong again
  i've got to learn how to be strong again
  i never dreamed i'd spend one night alone
  by myself by myself
  i've got to find out what was mine again
  my heart is saying that it's my time again
  and i have faith that i will shine again
  i have faith in me
  on my own
  on my own
  on my own"
• ayrıca whitney houston'dan slow eski aşık şarkısı. bildiğimiz hikaye, güçlüyüm, hatalarımdan ders aldım, artık daha zekiyim, eskisi gibi aptal kız değilim. yine de olmamışsın kızım diyoruz. önemli olan bütün bunları cidden sağladıysan eğer sessizliğini koruyabilmektir. ne öyle şarkı filan. (bkz: susan kadın) neyse sözleri:
  i'm wiser now
  i'm not the foolish girl you used to know
  so long ago
  i'm stronger now
  i've learned from my mistakes which way to go
  and i should know
  i put myself aside to do it your way
  but now i need to do it all alone
  
  and i am not afraid to try it on my own
  i don't care if i'm right or wrong
  i'll live my life the way i feel
  no matter what i'll keep it real you know
  time for me to do it on my own
  yeah yeah, mmm, yeah yeah
  
  it's over now
  i can't go back to living through your eyes
  too many lies
  and if you don't know by now
  i can't go back to being someone else
  not anymore
  i never had a chance to do things my way
  so now it's time for me to take control
  
  and i am not afraid to try it on my own
  i don't care if i'm right or wrong
  i'll live my life the way i feel
  no matter what i'm gonna keep it real you know
  time for me to do it
  
  oh i start again go back to one
  i'm running things my way
  can't stop me now, i've just begun
  don't even think about it
  there ain't no way about it
  i'm taking names, the ones of mine
  yes i'm gonna take my turn
  it's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone
  
  i am not afraid to try it on my own
  and i don't care if i'm right or wrong
  i'll live my life the way i feel
  no matter what i'm gonna keep it real you know
  it's time for me to do it
  see i'm not afraid
