David Usher - Alone in the universe

Ueber hot British born Canadian indie rocker, singer and song writer David Usher from Montreal is amazing. He is eye candy to the older indie rock fans and got his exotic looks from a thai buddhist artist mother and a jewish canadian father from montreal. Here he sings one of my favorite songs Alone in the Universe. Would have wanted to upload other videos but this one is the only one I saw that is for general patronage. His latest single from 2008 Kill the Light is the ost of the movie Dark Knight. Love his songs Black Black Heart, St. Lawrence River and Time of our Lives. Will upload samples to listen to in my Music box. Listen to the song, mark the lyrics that are so true, sing a long with David and think of yourself as alone in the universe, think what a luxury it is to be alone with the cosmos tonight.So wake up to the light.


Alone in the Universe
Jamie's on the bathroom floor she don't know why
She's shaking underneath the sink can't feel a thing
She'd love to live a life she's afraid of failure
With all the voices in her head
Now what was that I thought I hear you scream

I know you can feel it
You're already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You're already...
Don't you know we're freaks and creature
Wake up I can almost see the light

I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone left wondering why
I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

Alex on the last train home from god knows where
A million miles away from where he thought he'd be
He's got his suit his tie his drink his MTV
He's trading all his life away
You can't escape we're all infected now

I know you can feel it
You're already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You're already...
Don't you know we're freaks and creatures
Wake up I can almost see the light

I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

We're all infected now
I know you can feel it
You're already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You're already...
Don't you know we're freaks and creatures
Wake up I can almost see the light

I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone left wondering why
I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

I think we're alone in the universe tonight
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

Last Life in the Universe

Rating:★★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Drama
Last Life in the Universe is a Pen ek Ratanarung film with a mundane though surreal story arc and fantastic cinematography by Christopher Doyle who does the same for HKG's Wong Kar Wai. Best reason to watch it is Asano Tadanobu, Japanese actor par excellence who has made a career portraying psycho killers in japanese cinema.In a tongue in cheek shot, the director included a poster of Tadanobu's film Ichi the Killer in the library scene.Try to spot it.

When my daughter Carla told me she meet Asano at the Berlinale and asked him a few questions, I drooled with envy. Then she added she also saw Christopher Doyle at the Berlin Filmfest at the same time, it was like a double drool moment for me.

Asano Tadanobu's character Kenji is an obsessive -compulsive- neat- freak- suicidal Japanese in Bangkok who hooks up with a slob hot Thai babe played by Sinitta Boonyasak who lives in a house that is literally a pigsty. Its a pairing made in heaven or hell depending on whether you are the seemingly asexual neat freak or the sizzling and sexy slob.The relationship is platonic, we are made to believe.The movie captures an interlude in their lives and depicts how they deal with the realities of death,love, violence, malaise and emptiness. The ending is so oriental, nothing definite, but hints at the possibilities. This film was so beautifully brilliant and twisted I wept with delight.There are some violent scenes after the yakuza came to play and nudity but we can't be squeamish about that, can we?

Some lines to remember the movie by:
Kenji the japanese; Can I stay here a little bit longer?
Noi the hot babe: Why you no go home?
Kenji : It smells bad, there are two dead bodies there.
Noi: Ok stay as long as you want.

Noi: Do you masturbate a lot?
Kenji:Whaaaat?
Noi: Do you masturbate a lot?
