Day 25 - A Song That Makes You Laugh

Caterpillar Crawl by The Moffatts really makes me laugh. It reminds me of things that I should never remember. Scott's nasal sound really makes the song funnier.

Day 24 - A Song That You Want To Play At Your Funeral

Josh Groban's You Raise Me Up is probably the first in my list. Actually, I have no idea what song would I want to play at my funeral. I don't think that far ahead. This song was the first to enter my mind. I don't know if the lyrics are appropriate though, I just know that Josh Groban songs sounds great in a funeral.
You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary When troubles come and my heart burdened be Then I am still and wait here in the silence Until you come and sit awhile with me You raise me up so I can stand on mountains You raise me up to walk on stormy seas I am strong when I am on your shoulders You raise me up to more than I can be You raise me up so I can stand on mountains You raise me up to walk on stormy seas I am strong when I am on your shoulders You raise me up to more than I can be You raise me up so I can stand on mountains You raise me up to walk on stormy seas I am strong when I am on your shoulders You raise me up to more than I can be You raise me up so I can stand on mountains You raise me up to walk on stormy seas I am strong when I am on your shoulders You raise me up to more than I can be You raise me up to more than I can be

Day 23 - A Song That You Want To Play At Your Wedding

When I heard Savage Garden's Truly Madly Deeply and I Knew I Loved You, I fell in love with the songs and I wanted them to be played in my wedding. I'm already married now, but the songs were not played. Instead, we played songs by The Corrs and DJ Sammy instead.

Day 22 - A Song That You Listen To When You Are Sad

There are two songs that I listen to when I'm sad. One is Insensitive by Jann Arden and the other one is Teardrop by Massive Attack.
Teardrop is an eerie song, but it's quite comforting to listen to it when I'm sad.
Teardrop
by Massive Attack
Love, love is a verb Love is a doing word Fearless on my breath Gentle impulsion Shakes me, makes me lighter Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath Nine night of matter Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my... Water is my eye Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Of a confession Fearless on my breath Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath You're stumbling a little You're stumbling a little
Insensitive by Jann Arden makes me even sadder than before. It's a good song to listen to when you want to cry your heart out.
Insensitive
by Jann Arden
How do you cool your lips After a summer’s kiss How do you rid the sweat After the body bliss How do you turn your eyes From the romantic glare How do you block the sound Of a voice you’d know anywhere Oh, I really should have known By the time you drove me home By the vagueness in your eyes Your casual good-byes By the chill in your embrace The expression on your face That told me Maybe You might have some advice to give On how to be Insensitive Insensitive Insensitive How do you numb your skin After the warmest touch How do you slow your blood After the body rush How do you free your soul After you’ve found a friend How do you teach your heart It’s a crime to fall in love again Oh, you probably won’t remember me It’s probably ancient history I’m one of the chosen few Who went ahead and fell for you I’m out of hope, I’m out of touch I fell too fast, I feel too much I thought that you might have Some advice to give on how to be Insensitive I really should have known By the time you drove me home By the vagueness in your eyes Your casual good-byes By the chill in your embrace The expression on your face That told me Maybe You might have some advice to give On how to be Insensitive Insensitive Insensitive

Day 21 - A Song That You Listen To When You Are Happy

One of the songs that I listen to when I am happy is Sugar Rush by A*Teens. It's a really cool song which was also sung by Dream Street. It's a feel good song so I guess anyone who would listen to this song would feel a bit happy too. This song is also good to listen to while eating your favorite sugary treat.
What exactly is sugar rush? Sugar rush is the sudden burst of energy after eating sugar-filled foods. According to Urban Dictionary, it is also defined as the girl or boy that you crave for.
Sugar Rush
by A* Teens
I get a high whenever you're around Sweeping from my head to my toes I gotta get my feet back on the ground Cuz you make me go out of my way Crossing the line making me say what I have in mind You make me so excited And I don't wanna fight it I start to blush You are my Sugar Rush Ain't nothing better baby Is it for real or maybe? I start to blush You are my Sugar Rush I got a sweet tooth and a taste for you It might me too obvious but I can't help my self from what I do Cuz you make me go out of my way Crossing the line Making me say what I have in mind You make me so excited And I don't wanna fight it I start to blush You are my Sugar Rush Ain't nothing better baby Is it for real or maybe? I start to blush You are my Sugar Rush Baby you're my Sugar Rush I get weak and talk too much You're the sweetest thing I ever tasted Baby you're my Sugar Rush I get weak and talk too much Cuz you make me go out of my way Crossing the line Making my say what I have in mind You make me so excited And I don't wanna fight it I start to blush You are my Sugar Rush Ain't nothing better baby Is it for real or maybe? I start to blush You are my Sugar Rush Baby you're my Sugar Rush I get weak and talk too much You're the sweetest thing I ever tasted Baby you're my Sugar Rush I get weak and talk too much You are my Sugar Rush

Day 20 - A Song That You Listen To When You're Angry

I like to listen to Silverchair when I'm angry. Their angry songs makes me want to scream and shout and unleash all the unwanted emotions that I have inside. Their song Pure Massacre just tops the list. It's a song that I want to listen to when I'm angry. But I haven't been angry for a long time so I haven't been able to listen to listen to this song for quite a while.

Day 19 - A Song From Your Favorite Album

My favorite album is Frente's Marvin The Album. When I first bought that album, my friend sais that he was impressed with my taste in music. It inspired him to buy a lot of CDs and cassette tapes too. I don't understand it myself but I really liked Frente during that time. Here's a song from that album.
Accidently Kelly Street
by Frente
here's a door and here's a window here's the ceiling here's the floor the room is lit like a black and white movie the t.v.'s on, that's what it's for and if you walk real slowly you can feel the planet breathe there's no need to feel so lowly now that we've all learned to give accidently kelly street where friends and strangers sometimes meet accidently kelly street i never thought life could be so sweet in the garden birds are singing the sun is shining on the path the wind is talking to the flowers the dogs and cats all take a bath and if you stop that talking you can hear the traffic sigh throw away those keys start walking, watch those tiny things go by accidently kelly street where friends and strangers sometimes meet accidently kelly street i never thought life could be so sweet it's sunday everyday and there's no need to rush around inside of everybody there's sun and laughter to be found it seems that we're on holidays and sleeping in is not a sin all the housework's done by teatime i'm feeling good about the way i've been perhaps this optimism will crash on down like a house of cards i know that my decision to change my life was not that hard accidently kelly street where friends and strangers sometimes meet accidently kelly street i never thought life could be so sweet accidently kelly street where friends and strangers sometimes meet accidently kelly street i never thought life could be so sweet accidently... accidently... accidently kelly street i never thought life could be so sweet!

Day 18 - A Song That You Wish You Heard On The Radio

I'm not a very big fan of FM radio so I don't listen to it that much, but I get to hear FM radio when I'm in the public utility vehicle or in other places like the mall, salon or hospitals. Maybe the song that I wish I heard on the radio is What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts. I haven't heard that on Philippine radio maybe because its American country music.

Day 17 - A Song That You Often Hear On The Radio

Like A Rose by A1 is a song that I often hear on the radio. I don't know why, but it seems that wherever I go, this song is following me. A1 has been gone for such a long time, but still their song can be heard in the airwaves every once in a while, just like Westlife's Fool Again.
Like A Rose
by A1
[BEN:] AND AS I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES I SEE AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE SENT FROM GOD ABOVE FOR ME TO LOVE TO HOLD AND IDOLISE AND AS I HOLD YOUR BODY NEAR I'LL SEE THIS MONTH THROUGH TO A YEAR AND THEN FOREVER ON TIL LIFE IS GONE I'LL KEEP YOUR LOVING NEAR AND NOW I'VE FINALLY FOUND MY WAY TO LEAD ME DOWN THIS LONELY ROAD ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW YOU TO LIGHTEN OFF MY LOAD YOU TREAT ME LIKE A ROSE YOU GIVE ME ROOM TO GROW YOU SHONE THE LIGHT OF LOVE ON ME AND GAVE ME AIR SO I CAN BREATHE YOU OPEN DOORS THAT CLOSE IN A WORLD WHERE ANYTHING GOES YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH SO I STAND TALL JUST LIKE A ROSE AND WHEN I FEEL LIKE HOPE IS GONE YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH TO CARRY ON EACH TIME I LOOK AT YOU THERE'S SOMETHING NEW TO KEEP OUR LOVING STRONG I HEAR YOU WHISPER IN MY EAR ALL OF THE WORDS I LONG TO HEAR OF HOW YOU'LL ALWAYS BE HERE NEXT TO ME TO WIPE AWAY MY TEARS AND NOW I'VE FINALLY FOUND MY WAY TO LEAD ME DOWN THIS LONELY ROAD ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW YOU TO LIGHTEN OFF MY LOAD YOU TREAT ME LIKE A ROSE YOU GIVE ME ROOM TO GROW YOU SHONE THE LIGHT OF LOVE ON ME AND GAVE ME AIR SO I CAN BREATHE YOU OPENED DOORS I CLOSED IN A WORLD WHERE ANYTHING GOES YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH SO I STAND TALL WITHIN THIS BED OF EARTH JUST LIKE A ROSE AND THOUGH THE SEASONS CHANGE OUR LOVE REMAINS THE SAME YOU FACE THE THUNDER WHEN THE SUNSHINE TURNS TO RAIN JUST LIKE A ROSE YOU TREAT ME LIKE A ROSE YOU GIVE ME ROOM TO GROW YOU SHONE THE LIGHT OF LOVE ON ME AND GAVE ME AIR SO I CAN BREATHE YOU OPENED DOORS I CLOSED IN A WORLD WHERE ANYTHING GOES YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH SO I STAND TALL WITHIN THIS BED OF EARTH JUST LIKE A ROSE YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH SO I STAND TALL WITHIN THIS BED OF EARTH JUST LIKE A ROSE

Day 16 - A Song That You Used To Love But Now Hate

I used to love I'll Be by Edwin McCain, but now I hate it. Everybody knows the song, and over familiarization makes it lose it's being special, you know? At first it sounded cool, when it was still new, but after hearing a lot of artists trying to sing the song, it just makes me sick. So now, I hate the song and I wish I would never have to hear it again.
I'll Be
by Edwin McCain
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

Chorus
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

Repeat Chorus

I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said

Repeat Chorus

Day 15 - A Song That Describes You

There are so many songs out there but there are only a few that describe me. Actually, I had difficulty in choosing, but I guess no words can actually describe who I am in totality. I am what I am, if you know what I mean. Emma Bunton's rendition of What I Am describes my identity.
What I Am
by Emma Bunton
I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box Religion is the smile on a dog I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah Choke me in the shallow waters Before I get too deep What I am is what I am Are you what you are or what? What I am is what I am Are you what you are or Oh, I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks Religion is a light in the fog I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah Choke me in the shallow water Before I get too deep What I am is what I am Are you what you are or what? What I am is what I am Are you what you are or what? What I am is what I am Are you what you are or what? What I am is what I am Are you what you are or what you are and What I am is what I am Are you what you are or what? Don't let me get too deep Don't let me get too deep Don't let me get too deep Don't let me get too deep Choke me in the shallow water Before I get too deep Choke me in the shallow water Before I get too deep Choke me in the shallow water Before I get too deep Choke me in the shallow water Before I get too deep

Day 14 - A Song That Nobody Would Expect You To Love

There's this popular saying: "Don't judge a book by it's cover." When people look at me, they think that I usually listen to divas like Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, etc. So, it comes as a surprise to them when they get to see what songs are in my iPod. A friend was surprised when she heard me listening to Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' Face Down. She said that it was off-character. Well, that just goes to show that we really make deductions about someone by how he or she looks like. I happen to love the song, and she might be more surprised if I shared some of the not so-shiny moments of my life.
Face Down
by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Hey girl, you know, you drive me crazy One look puts the rhythm in my hand Still I'll never understand why you hang around I see what's goin' down Cover up with make up in the mirror Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again You cry alone and then he swears he loves you Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect Every action in this world will bear a consequence If you wade around forever you will surely drown I see what's going down I see the way you go and say you're right again Say you're right again, heed my lecture Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? [- From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/r/red-jumpsuit-apparatus-lyrics/face-down-lyrics.html -] Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found Face down in the dirt she said, ?This doesn't hurt? She said, ?I finally had enough? Face down in the dirt she said, ?This doesn't hurt? She said, ?I finally had enough? One day she will tell you that she has had enough It's coming round again Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found Do you feel like a man, when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found Face down in the dirt she says, ?This doesn't hurt? She says, ?I finally had enough?

Day 13 - A Song That Is A Guilty Pleasure

First up, I would like to define what guilty pleasure is, because honestly, when I thought about this, I had to reorient myself about the meaning of this phrase so that I could name a song that suits the description. Accordingly, guilty pleasures are the little things that make life just a wee bit better. Of course they're also the things you're not supposed to like, for example, a greasy quarter pounder cheeseburger, or perhaps Jason Behr of Roswell or a pint vanilla ice cream. But if these pleasures make us happy, what do we have to be guilty about?
Think Twice by Eve 6 is a song that is a guilty pleasure. Why? Well, it just reminds me of Jacob Black and how hot he is. The lyrics is like what Jacob would sing to Bella, you know? And since I'm Team Jacob, every time I hear this song, it just reminds me of him. I'm not supposed to think about Jacob Black because he is a fictional character from a book. My husband need not to be jealous about him either because he's fiction. But when I think of Jacob Black, I just totally lose it. It's like I have a highschool crush on someone who doesn't even exist. Gee.
Think Twice
by Eve 6
When all, Is said, And done, And dead, Does he, Love you, The way that I do? Breathing in, Lightning; Tonight's for fighting. I feel, The hurt, So physical. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around I'll let you feel the burn. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around, come around, No more. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around I'll let you feel the burn. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around, No more. She spreads, Her love; She burns me up. I can't, Let go, I can't get out. I've said, Enough, Enough by now. I can't let go; I can't get out. Wait 'till, The day, You finally see, I've been, Here waiting patiently; Crossing, My fingers, And my t's. She cried on my shoulder begging please. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around I'll let you feel the burn. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around, come around, No more. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around I'll let you feel the burn. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around, No more. She spreads, Her love; She burns me up. I can't, Let go, I can't get out. I've said, Enough, Enough by now. I can't let go; I can't get out. What is it you really want? I'm tired of asking. You're gone; I'm wasted. When I, Showed up, And he, Was there, I tried, My best, To grin, And bear, And took, The stairs, But didn't stop at the street. And as we speak, I'm going down. 'Cause she spread, Her love, And burned me up. I can't, Let go; I can't get out. I've said, Enough, Enough by now. I can't let go; I can't get out. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around I'll let you feel the burn. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around, come around, No more. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around I'll let you feel the burn. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around, No more....

Day 12 - A Song From A Band That You Hate

I have never liked 90's rock - specifically heavy metal, especially those men sporting long, wavy and perhaps lice-infested hair. Yuck!!! I never understood why highschool boys during that time were so into heavy metal. It was the worst kind of music for me, with all the screaming, and with those devilish emblems painted on their faces or hanging from their necks. Sheesh!!!
The brand that I hated the most was Guns N Roses. And their song Welcome To The Jungle is perhaps my number 1 most hated song too. My classmates used to bully me and sing that song to me. Those creeps!!! At first I never understood why they kept on singing that horrendous song, but then I learned the reason, and my life has been miserable during all those years in highschool. Sad story, I know. Ah well . . .
Welcome To The Jungle
by Guns N Roses
Welcome to the jungle We got fun 'n' games We got everything you want Honey we know the names We are the people that can find Whatever you may need If you got the money honey We got your disease Chorus: In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your shun n,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,n,,n,n,,n knees, knees I wanna watch you bleed Welcome to the jungle We take it day by day If you want it you're gonna bleed But it's the price you pay And you're a very sexy girl That's very hard to please You can taste the bright lights But you won't get them for free In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Feel my, my, my serpentine I, I wanna hear you scream Welcome to the jungle It gets worse here everyday Ya learn ta live like an animal In the jungle where we play If you got a hunger for what you see You'll take it eventually You can have anything you want But you better not take it from me Chorus And when you're high you never Ever want to come down, so down, so down, so down YEAH! You know where you are You're in the jungle baby You're gonna die In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your shu n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,,n knees, knees In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Feel my, my, my serpentine In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your shun n,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,,n.n, knees, knees In the jungle Welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your It's gonna bring you down!

Day 11 - A Song From Your Favorite Band

Dashboard Confessional is my favorite band. I learned about them when I was copying mp3s from my in-law's computer. I saw that there were many songs from this band that I have never heard about. I got curious about the group so I decided to copy their songs anyway. So when I heard "Screaming Infidelities" and also "Turpentine Chaser", I was hooked! I bought an MTV:Unplugged DVD featuring them and all I can say is that I instantly fell in love with the lead singer, Chris Carraba. Their song, Stolen, made me fall in love with the group even more. I can basically relate to most of their songs, and I think that even though Dashboard Confessional is not that popular, they will still be my favorite band.
Stolen
by Dashboard Confessional
We watch the season pull up its own stakes And catch the last weekend of the last week Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced, Another sun soaked season fades away You have stolen my heart You have stolen my heart Invitation only, grand farewells Crash the best one, of the best ones Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight You have stolen my heart You have stolen my heart And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration One good stretch before our hibernation Our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well sleep well(x4) You have stolen You have stolen You have stolen my heart I watch you spin around in your highest heels You are the best one, of the best ones We all look like we feel You have stolen my You have stolen my You have stolen my heart

Day 10 - A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep

Don't get me wrong, I love Westlife, but this song of theirs really turns the snooze button on. No matter how good looking Shane, Kian, Nicky and Mark are, even the video to this song makes me fall asleep. The Rose was originally sung by Bette Midler, and I can just imagine how much boring it is when she sang it. Not all Westlife songs are boring. This one tops it all though. No wonder it didn't reach the number one spot. It made people fall asleep.
The Rose
by Westlife
Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed Some say love it is a hunger an endless aching need I say love it is a flower and you its only seed It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose

Day 09 - A Song That You Can Dance To

Well, I'm not a very good dancer, so fast beat songs won't work for me. I remember one time when I tried dancing. It was a terrible experience. I have never felt so embarrassed in my entire life. I felt that I was the lousiest dancer in the group. I usually sing in presentations because singing feels so natural for me. One time, I tried to dance just to have a different experience. . . to my regret. Even if I practiced hard to get all the steps, I was always out of tempo. Dang! The song that I tried to dance to was Cruel Summer by Ace of Base. It was really a cruel summer for me . . .
Cruel Summer
by Ace of Base
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning I sit around Trying to smile, but the air is so heavy and dry Strange voices are saying (ah, what did they say?) Things I can't understand It's too close for comfort, this heat has got Right out of hand It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel The city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my own It's too hot to handle, so I gotta get up and go, and go It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me) Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one Cruel Now don't you leave me Now don't you leave me Well don't you leave me Come on, come on Now don't you leave me Now don't you leave me Well don't you leave me Come on, come on It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me) Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me) Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel, cruel summer It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer It's a cruel, cruel summer It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer It's a cruel summer

Day 08 - A Song That You Know All The Words To

Stay (I Missed You) by Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories is a song from the movie Reality Bites. Ethan Hawke was the one who directed the song's video. It's one of those songs that I really took the time to memorize. When this song first came out, I was impressed because I think Lisa Loeb's voice is unique, and the song was also different from all the other pop songs during that time. I think I may have sung this song several times in front of many people. It's been more than ten years, and I still know the lyrics.
Stay (I Missed You) by Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories
You say I only hear what I want to. You say I talk so all the time so. And I thought what I felt was simple, and I thought that I don't belong, and now that I am leaving, now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you. Yeah yeah, I missed you. And you say I only hear what I want to: I don't listen hard, don't pay attention to the distance that you're running to anyone, anywhere, I don't understand if you really care, I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no. So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up, and this woman was singing my song: lover's in love, and the other's run away, lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay. Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was dying since the day they were born. Well, well, this is not that; I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown. And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure. You try to tell me that I'm clever, but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you. You said that I was naive, and I thought that I was strong. I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave." Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you. Yeah, I miss you. You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go." You try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just scared to lose. And you say, "Stay." And you say I only hear what I want to.

Day 07 - A Song That Reminds You Of A Certain Event

When I was 15, a friend invited me to this thing called Drill Night. It was some sort of a dance party where Reserve Officers Training Corps invited girls to the dance as their "dates." I was invited to the dance, and I felt like I was someone important. As the night went deeper, slow songs were played. It was an opportunity for the boys to slow-dance with the girls they brought to the party. My date asked me to dance. Several songs were played and one that stuck in my memory was the song Again by Janet Jackson. Until now, the song brings me back to that night --- Drill Night 1994.
I heard from a friend today And she said you were in town Suddenly the memories came back to me in My mind Chorus: How can I be strong I've asked myself Time and time I've said That I'll never fall in love with you again A wounded heart you gave, My soul you took away Good intentions you had many, I know you did I come from a place that hurts, an' God knows how I've cried And I never want to return Never fall again Making love to you oh it felt so good and Oh so right Repeat Chorus So here we are alone again, Didn't think it'd come to this And to know it all began With just a little kiss I've come too close to happiness, To have it swept away Don't think I can take the pain Never fall again Kinda late in the game And my heart is in your hands Don't you stand there and then tell me You love me Then leave again 'Cause I'm falling in love with you again Hold me, hold me Don't ever let me go Say it just one time Say you love me God knows I do love you again

Day 06 - A Song That Reminds You Of Somewhere

When I was 15 years old, I went to Baguio City with my parents. It was my first time to travel far away from home. It was a pretty long ride, about 7 to 8 hours or so, and during that ride, I heard the song "Vulnerable" a lot of times. Actually, I think I was able to memorize the lyrics of the song just by hearing it over and over again. I think it's the most popular song during that time and when I was in Baguio, I think I developed LSS for the song. LSS means Last Song Syndrome, that's when you hear the song over and over again in your head. So when I hear this song by Roxette, it reminds me of Baguio City where I got to listen to it over and over again.
Roxette - Vulnerable by
Vulnerable by Roxette
Everywhere I look I see her smile Her absent-minded eyes She has kept me wondering for so long How this thing could go wrong. It seems to me that we are both the same Playing the same game But as darkness falls this true love falls apart Into a riddle of her heart. She's so vulnerable, like china in my hands She's so vulnerable and I don't understand I could never hurt the one I love She's all I've got But she's so vulnerable, Vulnerable. Days like these no one should be alone No heart should hide away Her touch is gently conquering my mind There's nothing words can say. She's coloured all the secrets of my soul I've whispered all my dreams But just as nighttime falls this vision falls apart Into a riddle of her heart. She's so vulnerable, (She's so vulnerable) like china in my hands. She's so vulnerable, (She's so vulnerable) and I don't understand. I could never hurt someone I love She's all I've got But she's so vulnerable Vulnerable. She's so vulnerable, (She's so vulnerable) like china in my hands She's so vulnerable (Oh so vulnerable) and I don't understand I could never hurt the one I love She's all I've got But she's so vulnerable, (She's so vulnerable) like china in my hands She's so vulnerable (Oh so vulnerable) and I don't understand I could never hurt someone I love She's all I've got But she's so vulnerable, Oh so vulnerable, yeah. She's so vulnerable My baby she's vulnerable. She's so vulnerable, oh yeah. Oh so vulnerable, she's all I got. She's so vulnerable, oh yeah. She's so vulnerable. She's so vulnerable.

Day 05 - A Song That Reminds You Of Someone

When I was in college, I wasn't very much into alternative music. I usually listen to pop songs, mostly sung by boy bands and groups of girls. Then one fine day, I was introduced to someone who shared to me his taste in music and my life had never been the same again. I remember that this person lent me a tape of his favorite songs. I remember that there were Sarah McLachlan songs and Rage Against The Machine, but one song that I listened over and over to was this song from the original soundtrack of 10 Things I Hate About You. It's called Your Winter by Sister Hazel. Every time I listen to this song, I remember him. I remember Michael. I remember the guy who watches the same TV shows that I like ( Felicity, Dawson's Creek, Ally McBeal), who buys from the same record store where I buy, and who has the same friend whom I consider important. We had many things in common actually, but I was a jerk, and I pushed him away. When I look back to that time, I can't help but wonder what would have happened if I let him in. Sadly, I wouldn't know. We're not even friends anymore.
Your Winter
by Sister Hazel
The grey ceiling on the earth Well it's lasted for a while Take my thoughts for what they're worth I've been acting like a child In your opinion, and what is that? It's just a different point of view What else can I do? I said I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry , but for? If I hurt you then I hate myself Don't want to hate myself, don't want to hurt you Why do you chew your pain? If you only know how much I love you, love you Chorus I won't be your winter I won't be anyone's excuse to cry We can be forgiven I will be here The old picture on the shelf Well it's been there for a while A frozen image of ourselves We are acting like a child Innocent and in a trance A dance that lasted for a while You read my eyes just like your diary, oh remember, please remember Well, I'm not a beggar, but what's more If I hurt you, then I hate myself, don't wanna hurt you Why do you chew your pain? If you only knew how much I love you I won't be your winter I won't be anyone's excuse to cry We can be forgiven I will be here

Day 04 - A Song That Makes You Sad

I Will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan is a song that makes me sad. Whenever I hear this song, it just breaks my heart because it makes me feel so sentimental. Sometimes, when I listen to this song, I just space out and my soul goes into this private place where it gently weeps.
I Will Remember You
by Sarah McLachlan
I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Remember the good times that we had? I let them slip away from us when things got bad How clearly I first saw you smilin’ in the sun Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I’m so tired but I can’t sleep Standin’ on the edge of something much too deep It’s funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word We are screaming inside, but we can’t be heard But I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I’m so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose Clinging to a past that doesn’t let me choose Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Weep not for the memories

Day 03 - A Song That Makes You Happy

Doctor Jones by Aqua is a song that makes me happy. Not only does it have a catchy tune, the video is really funny too. When I hear the song, it reminds me of the time when I was younger, back when I used to record videos from MTV and watch them over and over again.
Doctor Jones is a happy song. "A yippee ya yoo, a yippee yay yeah! A yippee ya yoo wah!" I know that the song doesn't really makes sense, but it sure sounds happy too me. Maybe you could try and check the song out and see if it doesn't make you feel happy too.

Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Song

Drive by Incubus is probably my least favorite song. Every band wants to cover that song and it now just seems so overrated. I used to like that song before, but now, listening to it has come to a saturation point that I feel like I'm going to gag if another band tries to do a cover of it. Also, the song brings back bad memories. So although Brandon Boyd is so animalistically sexy, this song is in the bottom of my list.
Drive by Incubus
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear Take the wheel and steer It's driven me before and seems to have a vague Haunting mass appeal But lately I'm beginning to find that I Should be the one behind the wheel Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there I'll be there So, if I decide to waiver my chance To be one of the hive Will I choose water over wine And hold my own and drive? Aah ah ooo It's driven me before and it seems to be the way That everyone else gets around But lately I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself my light is found Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there I'll be there Would you choose water over wine? Hold the wheel and drive Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there I'll be there

Day 01 - Your Favorite Song

My favorite song is not a popular one. I heard it first in the Felicity Soundtrack about 10 years ago and the song has stuck to my heart and brain eversince. It's called Slingshots by Morley and I know that not everybody would love this song. People might even find it boring, but I love it. The first time I heard it, it made me cry. There was even a time when I listened to the song over and over again until I got tired of it and was able to memorize the lyrics. Listening to it makes me feel sentimental. I just love this song so much I want to share it to everybody.
Slingshots by Morley Love me when nobody else can see Touch my soul then treat me like i am a stranger This is not the way i want to feel Should have known a love this strong Would bring some danger But i guess it's all in my head Ill find a way to make it end Its magic And it's tragic Slingshots whisper My tears drops unanswered What am I to you? Slingshots you forgot My kisses Don't miss this What am i to you? Shame! how you got me! Ripping words of my lips To keep from asking I fall When you call Press my ear against the phone To hear you lips move I guess it's all in my head And in time I'll make amends O0oh it's magic but it's so tragic I want you so bad... What's wrong with me? I want you so bad... What's wrong with, with you baby! Love me when nobody else can see Touch my soul you treat me like a stranger This is not the way i like to feel Should have known you love this strong Would bring some danger Slingshots whisper My tear drops unanswered What am i to you? Slingshots you forgot My kisses Don't miss this What am i to you, you Slingshot you forgot My kisses Don't miss this What, am i to you?
