Day 57 : A song that would describe a part of you

Set Fire To The Rain

by Adele

Set Fire To The Rain depicts the inconsistency elements of a relationship. But no matter how she was broken because of the relationship she has managed to get back on track and pick up the pieces. She has done everything to keep the person that she is deeply in love with, she saw good things in the person even when she was hurting, a one classic of blinded love. The song also showed that it is easier for her to get over or move on if she will feel anger rather than upset, hence, LET IT BURN ... LET IT BURN ....SET FIRE TO THE RAIN

Now d'you wonder How do I love thee??? Well ...no need to elaborate more ... I would do anything for love, I would endure pain up to the last drop ... but when anger sets in ... hmmmm, better be careful ...the little hello kitty will become a roaring tiger ... hahahaha ... But in every relationship that I have been through, I consider each joy and pain a learning experience. With my stubborn attitude toward love, OKAY OKAY ...stupidity when In-LoVE, those experiences made me stronger and wiser (i guess ^_^).

Now I wonder how my friends, family and acquaintaces would describe FRANCE??? Would love to hear from YOU even one adjective or two! geeeeezzz ... this seem scarry than I thought. Well before that, listen to my cover song of another Adele's greatest hit!

Day 56: A song about what you'd like to tell someone

What Makes You Beautiful 

by One Direction 

I AM BEAUTIFUL! ^_^

This song is not just for someone, this is for all who are in at one time or who is currently feeling insecure of herself or himself. The lyrics does not only describe the physical asset of a person. Let's face it, there comes a time that we feel that we are not worthy to others, maybe because we are in a state that we get disappointed that we don't get what we want, or we are not able to please somebody, although we have done everything. Or maybe sometimes when we know that we unintentionally hurt people specially the ones we love and is a part of our life, and because of that we feel 'ugly' inside. But like what I always say, we can't please everyone no matter how we strive to do it. Anything good that you show to one person maybe interpreted wrongly by another. You may be a 'head turner' for X person but for Y person, you just look 'ordinary'. What would make you beautiful? Learn to appreciate yourself and remember that it was our One Great God who made you and gave you your talents! If you are the kind of person who compares, let it affect your life positively! Feel beautiful, be yourself, live life to the fullest! You may not be able to light up the world of everyone, but you can be the 'biggest star' to one!

Day 54 :A song from an artist you'd love to see live

NEXT TO ME

by Emile Sande

I would love to see her perform live. Her soulful voice has really caught my heart to really like her music! A talented artist indeed, not just singer but a songwriter as well, at a young age of 11 she wrote her first song for a talent show at school. Admiringly she did not let her talents stop her to continue her schooling, she was hungry to learn. Being in the limelight you would not believe that she was then a very shy, nerdy and extremely well-behaved girl back in secondary school. Amazing eh!

Next To Me was released only this February 2012 from her studio album "Our Version of Events".  Only after more than 10 days the song was number 1 on the Irish Singles Chart and number two in the UK Singles Chart, it was only on April 2012 the song was released in the United States.

enjoy my version!

http://soundcloud.com/ohmigoodness/WORDS GET IN THE WAY

I realize you're seein' someone new

I don't believe she knows you like I do

Your temperamental moody side, 

the one you always try to hide from me

But I know when you have something on your mind

You've been tryin' to tell em for the longest time

And before you break my heart in two

There's something I've been trying to say to you

Chorus:

But the words get in the way, 

there's so much I want to say

But it's locked deep inside, 

and if your look in my eyes

We might fall in love again

Won't even start to cry, and before we say goodbye

I tried to say I love, but the words got in the way

Your heart has always been an open door

Bu baby I don't even know you anymore

And despite the fact it's hurting me

I know the time has come to set you free

Chorus

I'm tryin to say I love you, but the words get in the way

Day 52 : A song you know all the words to

GET HERE

by Oleta Adams

photo from http://www.j-notes.com

I have sang this song a million times, since I can't remember when! Exaggerated huh??!?!?!  But I simply love the melody and of course the lyrics too. I know the lyrics by heart and never got fed up of singing it.   


I am sure there are millions of OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) who can relate to this song or anybody who is temporarily separated to his or her loved one. Honestly, it is really hard to be million miles away from your loved ones, there are moments you wished that you can be beside them with a snap of a finger! How you wished that they can get close to you wherever you are at anytime. There can be a lot of means, but there are things that are out of your hands, and it just couldn't be even if you wished hard for it. But because we love them, we have to sacrifice a little bit and be thankful to God that we are fortunate to have been blessed with good paying jobs to help not just our families but other less fortunate people as well. 

The song was originally sang by Brenda Russell and was revived by Oleta Adams. The song was made popular during the Gulf War in 1991. Wherein the families of deployed troops has made this tune as their theme song. 

Here's my own version which was actually recorded 6 years ago. Enjoy!
