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!
Ha!

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.
Doctor Jones
by Aqua
Somtimes, the feeling is right
You fall in love for the first time
Heartbeat, and kisses so sweet
Summertime love in the moonlight
Ah-yippie-yi-yu
Ah-yippie-yi-yeah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu-ah
Now the summer is gone
You had to go back home
Please come and see me again
I never felt more alone
Baby, I am missing you
I want you by my side
And I hope you'll miss me too
Come back and stay
I think about you every day
I really want you too
You swept my feet right off the ground, you're the love I found
Doctor Jones, Jones, Calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, Get up now (Wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones, Calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, Wake up now (Wake up now)
Ah-yippie-yi-yu
Ah-yippie-yi-yeah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu-ah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu
Ah-yippie-yi-yeah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu-ah
All I think of is you, and all of the things we had
Doctor, what can I do?
Why does it have to be like that?
Baby, I am missing you
I want you by my side
And I hope you'll miss me too
Come back and stay
I think about you every day
I really want you too
You swept my feet right off the ground, you're the love I found
Doctor Jones, Jones, Calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, Get up now (Wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones, Calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, Wake up now (Wake up now)
Ah-yippie-yi-yu
Ah-yippie-yi-yeah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu-ah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu
Ah-yippie-yi-yeah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu-ah
Please, please cure me
Please, please cure me
Please, please cure me
Please, please cure me
Doctor Jones, Jones - (Wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones - (Wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones - (Wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones,
Wake up now!
Ah-yippie-yi-yu
Ah-yippie-yi-yeah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu-ah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu
Ah-yippie-yi-yeah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu-ah
Doctor Jones, Jones, Calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, Get up now (Wake up now)
Doctor Jones, Jones, Calling Doctor Jones
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, Wake up now (Wake up now)

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?
