My soulful midnight

Ever sat back and skimmed through some songs, when you chance upon a song that haven't heard before. A song that you can just keep playing over and over again.

Duffy, I admit, has a 60s kind of voice. Nothing wrong with that really. She has good voice control and her songs are wonderful.

I watched her live performances, and she is the real deal. Even on stage live, she is amazing. She really can sing unlike other famous singers who depend on the magic of music studio to make them sound nice, she doesn't need it. Her voice is natural and beautiful. When she sings those high notes, she makes it seem effortless.

Frankly, she sounds even better LIVE. She has got me begging for mercy to give me more of her music.




Rockferry lyrics

I'd move to Rockferry,
Tomorrow
And I'd build my house, baby
With sorrow

I'd leave my shadow,
To fall behind
And I wouldn't write to you
'cos I'm not that kind

The midnight trains are boarding
All wrap up 8s
I pick my load and I fill my truck
before it's too late

I leave the stars to judge
my every move
I'm not going to think of you, oh
I'd get the blues

There's no sleep on the journey
away from time
A bag of songs and a heavy heart
won't make me down

I'll give it all my strength and my mind
I'll make this decision with or without

I'd move to Rockferry,
Tomorrow
And I'd build my house, baby
With sorrow

I'd leave my shadow,
To fall behind
And I wouldn't write to you
'cos I'm not that kind
not that kind

Rockferry, not that kind (repeat)
(fading) Rockferry......

Alternatives to the Ipod Touch (videos)


CNET has published a comparison of other MP3 players which has the touch screen and wireless technology similar to the Ipod Touch. They have a comparison table with details of the product, so you can compare MP3 players.

After watching the video reviews, I prefer the Samsung YP-P2 from the other alternatives (pictured on the left). It's slim and light. Although, the product is much smaller than the Ipod Touch. The mp3 player's interface is almost similar to the Ipod Touch, has a 30 hr long battery life, and stereo Bluetooth capability. So I think this is the better alternative.

But frankly, the Ipod touch has always astounded me. Even though these other MP3 players offer much more competitive prices to the Ipod touch, I still think the Ipod touch is a worthy buy.
