Songs and more songs!

Songs that I've been listening to recently.

She and Him, performing Sleigh Ride. I love this classic and the soothing voice of Zooey Deschanel. Oh also, I am following her new sitcom called New Girl. I like her quirky character and the supporting cast as well.





The next song I am loving currently is The Script's Nothing. Once again, I like the lyrics of the song and you can feel what its like to be in the position of that person in the song. When all I want is words, I got nothing ~~~







And the 3rd song is one of the most often spun song on radio right now. Christina Perri with A Thousand Years. Loved the first time I heard Jar of Hearts, and the same goes for this song. Very lovable tune and the feeling it evokes is just wonderful. Oh also, unfortunately for the Twilight Soundtrack :-P
The Twilight saga movies tend to have a great song selection, so I guess their music team did a great job.






Thats about it for tonight. Will be listening to these songs before I go to sleep.
Have a great year ahead people!

Love Love Love


Was introduced to this song by a fellow blogger as well as friend.
Its a fairly new song by a fairly new artiste, Hope.

Good move by releasing a first single featuring Jason Mraz.
Very typical "beachy" song. Nice to listen on an easy going day
=)
Enjoy!





Love, Love, Love, Love, Love
Giving me
Love, Love, Love
More than I ever need
Love, you’re so distracting
Am I overreacting, For feeling this way
And ever, since I met ya, I can’t keep my attention
And you are to blame

You’re love’s a permanent distraction,
A perfect interaction
A feeling so extreme
I lost my appetite to eat, and I barely get to sleep
Cause you’re even in my dreams
And I thought that I was strong but I knew that all along,
This was out of my control
So I fell into your hands, and I don’t know where we’ll land,
I’m just going with the flow
Love, Love, Love, Love, Love



Somedays, I want to run away
This feels so perfect, it’s breaking my heart
Yeah we could, we could stay here happy
Or after summer, be two worlds apart

You’re love’s a permanent distraction,
A perfect interaction
A feeling so extreme
I lost my appetite to eat, and I barely get to sleep
Cause you’re even in my dreams
And I thought that I was strong but I knew that all along,
This was out of my control
So I fell into your hands, and I don’t know where we’ll land,
I’m just going with the flow
Giving me, Love Love Love, Love Love

More than I ever need
Giving me Love Love Love
You’re Love, Is coming like a freight train
Ain’t nothing gonna stop it,
It’s heading for my heart,
You’re Love, is bigger than a rain cloud
It covered up my whole skies
It’s filling up my heart,
My heart with
Love, Love, Love, Love, Love
More than I ever need
Giving me
Love, Love, Love

You’re love’s a permanent distraction,
A perfect interaction
A feeling so extreme
I lost my appetite to eat, and I barely get to sleep
Cause you’re even in my dreams
And I thought that I was strong but I knew that all along,
This was out of my control
So I fell into your hands, and I don’t know where we’ll land,
I’m just going with the flow Giving me, Love Love Love, Love Love
More than I ever need
(Repeat)

You're My Inspiration (Kau Ilhamku)

Thanks to the posting my ex-gym instructor, I have heard a song which I used to love a lot. I still love this song! Reminds me of the good ole days as usual =)

Enjoy the song by Manbai





Beribu bintang dilangit
Kini menghilang
Meraba aku dalam kelam
Rembulan mengambang
Kini makin suram
Pudar ilhamku tanpa arah

Sedetik wajahmu muncul
Dalam diam
Ada kerdipan ada sinar
Itukah bintang atau rembulan
Terima kasih kuucapkan

1
Izinkan kumencuri bayangan wajahmu
Izinkan ku mencuri khayalan denganmu
Maafkanlah oh...
Andai lagu ini
Mengganggu ruangan hidupmu
Kau senyumlah oh...
Sekadar memori
Kita di arena ini
Kau ilhamku
Kau ilhamku...

I Drive Myself Crazy

I was listening to my songs on my laptop while I was in the office earlier and this song came on. I didn't even know I had this song! Old songs like these just takes you by surprise and let's you reminisce about the times when the song was popular.

This N'SYNC was released at the height of the boy band era in 90s pop music. Back then you had BSB, Five, 911, Westlife and et al trying to capture a share of the music market.

Well this song does bring back memories to the days when I was in secondary school... Great days back then. Football, basketball, puberty and etc...





Lying in your arms
So close together
Didn't know just what I had
Now I toss and turn
Cause I'm without you

How I'm missing you so bad
Where was my head?
Where was my heart?
Now I cry alone in the dark

I lay awake
I drive myself crazy
Drive myself crazy
Thinking of you
Made a mistake
When I let you go baby
I drive myself crazy
Wanting you the way that I do

I was such a fool
I couldn't see it
Just how good you were to me

You confessed your love
Undying devotion
I confessed my need to be free
And now I'm left
With all this pain
I only got myself to blame

(chorus)

Why didn't I know
(How much I loved you baby)
Why couldn't show it
(If I had only told you)
When I had the chance
Oh I had the chance

(interlude)

(chorus)

I Love Your Smile

Don't know how many people younger than me would remember the song. It was pretty big when I was in primary school. About the time when I was in Standard 1 or 2.

Of course, back then I didn't know what the lyrics were (we didnt have computers and internet then). Back then you could only get the lyrics from those "Galaxie" like magazines.

However, with the explosion as well as the implosion of the internet, we have tonnes of resources at our fingertips, literally. Today, i can view the music video of the song (Never seen it prior to posting this) and seen the full lyrics.

Yes, the human smile is one that can warms people's hearts. It doesnt cost us much to smile and yet it would have a positive effect on the recipient.
So smile for all its worth.

I love your smile =)
By Shanice






Sitting in my class, just drifting away
Staring into the windows of the world
I can't hear the teacher, his books don't call me at all
I don't see the bad boys tryin' to catch some play...

CHORUS :
'cause I love your smile
I love your smile

The clock at work says three
And I wanna be free
Free to scream, free to bathe, free to paint
My toes all day
My boss is lame you know, and so is the pay
I'm gonna put that new black mini on my charge anyway

(chorus)

Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I'll never ever go back
Taught me that
I can be a better girl with love you give
You rock my world
You dig

I'm showin'
The life that I'm livin'
This is the life that I have
And it's given to you

Yeh'and it's true
La-d-da
Twinkley d
do you

Believe in a girl
like me
Shanice is the one
For you to be with

But when I'm caught
All alone
I start fessin'
It's from a state of depression
And the thunder clouds of doubt move in
I begin to wonder "Do you still love me?"
But after that
My whole world is beautiful

Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I'll never ever go back
Taught me that
I can be a better girl with love you give
You rock my world
You dig

You are the only exception

This is a pretty new song (i think) on radio. And to think this song is sung by Paramore is surprising. Well it shouldn't be surprising since most rock bands usually have a famous ballad in their discography anyway.

KInda took a liking to this song and the lyrics seem relatable. ;-p
Emo songs like these are always relatable, hehehe.




When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Ohh---

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted

Heard one of the contestants on American Idol sing this song a few days back. Unfortunately, she didn't sing this well enough and was voted off the next day. Maybe the song overpowered her.

The lyrics; was well written, although sometimes words cannot describe the pain we're in, this is comes pretty close.

********DISCLAIMER***************

Do not listen to the song or read the lyrics if you dont want to risk feeling all emotional later on





As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion,
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.

The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
Cold and alone
No comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and goin to where
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.

I'm searching though I don't succeed,
But someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.
Now what's become of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere

Need you now

Been listening to bit and pieces of this song when I'm driving. Finally heard the full song and man, I really like this song by Lady Antabellum. Its a country song with a very contemporary feel ;-)

The lyrics are also very meaningful!

Enjoy!




Songwriters: Haywood, Dave; Kear, Josh; Kelley, Charles; Scott, Hillary;



Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Woah, woah
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now, I just need you now

Oh baby, I need you now

You just haven't met ME yet!

THis is a very catchy song from Michael Buble; switched 2 words from the title, hehehe. My fave would still be Home, but this is good stuff especially when I'm stuck in traffic (which is quite often nowadays). Keeps me positive for the rest of the day, not knowing who I'm gonna make happy today :-)

Well, if your not having a good day, don't release the frustration by lashing out.You just haven't met me yet ;-p
I'll make you have a good day, or night!




Lyrics

I'm Not Surprised
Not Everything Lasts
Have Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I Stopped Keepin Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up
Then I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Lose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility

And I Now Someday That It'll All Turn Out
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

Mmmmm ....

I Might Have To Wait
I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's Half Time
And The Other Half's Luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It's Right
You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

Hmmmmm ......

And Somehow I Know That Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

They Say All's Fair
And In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight It
We'll Get It By It ??
To Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

Hmmm .....

And Someday I Know It'll All Turn Out
And I'll Work To Work It Out
Promise You Kid I'll Give More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get han I Get

Oh You Know It Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Oh Promise You Kid
To Give So Much More Than I Get

I Said Love Love Love Love Love Love Love .....
You Just Haven't Met Me Yet
Love Love Love .....
You Just Haven't Met Me Yet

Hallelujah - Bon Jovi

THis is a song, which I find very moving. Written by Leonard Cohen, performed by the late Jeff Buckley, and now Bon Jovi.

This is my favourite version, taken from his live album, This Left Feels Right.

The lyrics are powerful and somehow, I can't help but delve myself into this song. Bon Jovi's vocals are amazing as usual.



Lyrics

i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah...

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but your love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

Wondergirls - Nobody

Kinda got hooked to this song.

THis song is so catchy, i feel like clapping to it ;-). I prefer the korean version though
But the English MTV is more entertaining



Lyrics:

You Know I still Love You Baby.

And it will never change. (Saranghae)


I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You

How can I be with another, I don't want any other

I want n...obody nobody nobody nobody


Why are you trying to, to make me leave ya

I know what you're thinking

Baby why aren't you listening

How can I just

Just love someone else and

Forget you completely

When I know you still love me


Telling me you're not good enough

My life with you is just too tough

You know it's not right so

Just stop and come back boy

How can this be

When we were meant to be


I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You

How can I be with another, I don't want any other

I want nobody nobody nobody nobody


I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You

How can I be with another, I don't want any other

I want nobody nobody nobody nobody


Why can't we just, just be like this

Cause it's you that I need and nothing else until the end

Who else can ever make me feel the way I

I feel when I'm with you, no one will ever do


Telling me you're not good enough

My life with you is just too tough

You know me enough so

You know what I need boy

Right next to you is where I need to be.


I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You

How can I be with another, I don't want any other

I want nobody nobody nobody nobody


I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You

How can I be with another, I don't want any other

I want nobody nobody nobody nobody


I don't want no body, body

I don't want no body, body


Honey you know it's you that I want, it's you that I need

Why can't you see~


I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You

How can I be with another, I don't want any other

I want nobody nobody nobody nobody (2x)


Back to the days when we were so young and wild and free

Nothing else matters other than you and me

So tell me why can't it be

Please let me live my life my way

Why do you push me away

I don't want nobody nobody nobody nobody but you

Oh it's a singalong song that's not too long; It's when I think about you that I hear songs

To those who know what the title means, then you already know what this post is about.

I'm currently digging this song by Khalil Fong, called Sing Along Song.
It has a very jazzy tune to it. although I do feel the lyrics is a bit off, but I get what the singer is trying to convey. Its the melody and the mood of the song that really appeals to me.

Enjoy!




Lyrics:

I wrote this song it's not too long
cos' I've been thinking 'bout you
I wrote this song maybe I'm wrong
To be caught up about you

Well I dont know what you think 'bout me
Maybe you think nothing at all
But maybe you could just lie to me
And we could be in love you see

Oh it's a singalong song that's not too long
It's when I think about you that I hear songs
And you can singalong maybe if you want to
Cos' baby I wrote this I wrote this for you

I wrote this song it's not too long
Cos' I'm the one who loves you
I wrote this song this can't be wrong
I don't wanna smile without you

Well I just want to make you happy
but maybe you want nothing at all
and how I wish that you're meant to be
forever and a day with me


Oh it's a singalong song that's not too long
It's when I think about you that I hear songs
And you can singalong maybe if you want to
Cos' baby I wrote this I wrote this for you

In everyway you mean more to me
than you'll ever know
girl I'll do my best to show these words are true
and if you'd like to make a song
and be a perfect harmony with me
I'd find the greatest words sing
so we could write our own romance

Oh it's a singalong song that's not too long
It's when I think about you that I hear songs
And you can singalong maybe if you want to
Cos' baby I wrote this I wrote this for you

Oh it's a singalong song that's not too long
It's when I think about you that I hear songs
And you can singalong maybe if you want to
Cos' baby I wrote this I wrote this for you

Cos' baby I wrote this I wrote this for you

I'll carry you home

This is currently on the airwaves now. Not bad... hehehe. Enjoy James Blunt's I'll Carry You Home. I know some of you are sick and tired of hearing his whiny voice, but hey this song appeals to me.



Lyrics:

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again.
Makes her body older than it really is.
She says it's high time she went away,
No one's got much to say in this town.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.
If she had wings she would fly away,
And another day God will give her some.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.
And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight,
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.
