Celine Dion-Alone

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh, I hope that it won't end though
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, no
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was gonna tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone? How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
Alone, alone
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Avril Lavigne-When You're Gone

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side

[Pre-chorus:]
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

[Chorus:]
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you,
I love the things that you do

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do, I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me, yeah

[Chorus:]
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

Sejarah Peristiwa Bandung Lautan Api

Mengenal sejarah Indonesia, salah satunya ada peristiwa Bandung Lautan Api. Peristiwa yang terjadi di tanah Pasundan itu berawal dari pertempuran antara para pemuda dan TKR melawan tentara Jepang pada bulan September dan Oktober 1945.

Pada tanggal 9 Oktober 1945, pertempuran yang terjadi antara rakyat Bandung dan TKR melawan tentara Jepang dapat diselesaikan dengan damai. Rakyat Bandung dan TKR berhasil mendapatkan senjata dari pabrik senjata dan mesiu di Kiaracondong.

Akan tetapi, bersamaan dengan itu datanglah tentara sekutu memasuki Kota Bandung pada tanggal 21 Oktober 1945. Kedatangan pasukan sekutu itu membuat suasana Kota Bandung menjadi tegang. Pertempuran-pertempuran kecil pun tak terhindarkan.

Ketika pasukan sekutu merasa terdesak, sekutu memberika ultimatum agar seluruh rakyat Bandung paling lambat tanggal 29 November 1945, pukul 12 untuk meninggalkan Bandung Utara. Namun, sampai batas waktu yang ditentukan, rakyat Bandung tidak mematuhinya.
Pada tanggal 24 Maret 1946, sekutu mengeluarkan ultimatum lagi agar rakyat Bandung meninggalkan Kota Bandung. Namun, lagi-lagi ultimatum itu tidak digubris. Akibatnya, pertempuran pun tak dapat dihindarkan. Ribuan orang mulai meninggalkan Kota Bandung. Tentara Republik Indonesia sengaja membakar gedung-gedung pemerintahan yang terdapat di Kota Bandung. Maksudnya, agar sekutu tidak dapat menggunakannya lagi. Asap membumbung tinggi. Kota Bandung menjadi lautan api.
