Another song that lifts my spirits up (I've been feeling crappy lately)...
Check out the MV below ---
Lyrics to Trouble Sleeping by Corinne Bailey Rae
It's late and I'm feeling so tired Having trouble sleeping. This constant compromise Between thinking and breathing.
Could it be I'm suffering Because I'll never give in? Won't say that I'm falling in love Tell me I don't seem myself Couldn't I blame something else?
Just don't say I'm falling in love
Some kind of therapy Is all I need Please believe me Some instant remedy That can cure me completely
Could it be that I'm suffering Because I'll never give in? Won't say that I'm falling in love Tell me I don't seem myself Couldn't I blame something else?
Just don't say I'm falling in love 'cause I've been there before and it's not enough So nobody say it
Don't even say it I've got my eyes shut Won't look, oh No, I'm not in love
Could it be I'm suffering Because I'll never give in? I'm falling love Tell me I don't seem myself good enough for something else
Just don't say I'm falling in love Falling in love Just don't say I'm falling in love Oh, yeah Falling love ooh Oh, oh, don't say that I'm falling in love, don't say that, oh Just don't say that I'm falling in love, yeah Just don't say that I'm falling in love Don't say but in the answer 'Cause I'll never give in Oh Falling in love Yeah Oh
It's 1230am and I'm really tired, but I've decided to at least post something..
Ok, I'm going to mention another singer that I like - Aimee Mann. I guess most of u might not have heard of her. The first time I heard her sing was in 1999 when I was watching the Oscars and she was singing this award nominated song - Save me (from the movie, Magnolia).
At that time, I was attracted to the lyrics and the tune to the song was stuck in my mind. In fact, I'm not sure how to describe her music, maybe indie cum alternative rock?
Anyway, here's the MV to Save me and the lyrics are below it. It's a real depressing MV but it really depicts the lyrics to this song..
Lyrics to "I Heard Love Is Blind" by Amy Winehouse --
I couldn't resist him His eyes were like yours His hair was exactly the shade of brown He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell It was dark and I was lying down
You are everything - he means nothing to me I can't even remember his name Why're you so upset? Baby, you weren't there and I was thinking of you when I came
What do you expect? You left me here alone; I drank so much and needed to touch Don't overreact - I pretended he was you You wouldn't want me to be lonely
How can I put it so you understand? I didn't let him hold my hand But he looked like you; I guess he looked like you No he wasn't you But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity It's not cheating; you were on my mind
Yes he looked like you But I heard love is blind...
I love songs that have a message behind it, irregardless of whether it's Jazz, Soul, R&B, English, Jap and dare I say Chinese (!! impossible but it could happen)...
So it's no surprise that I love Amy Winehouse. She's an English soul, jazz, and R&B singer with 2 albums under her belt (Frank 2003 & Back to Black 2006). From my point of view, she's hands down a real talented singer, no argue about it. Her voice reminds me of one of those 60s soul singer so it's a pity that her personal life is far from rosy. Sadly she's battling drug addiction and has dropped three dress sizes (eating disorder), which is real sad cos' she was really pretty in her first album. But I guess it's due to her "problems" which is why her songs are very soulful and how shall I put it, it really seems like she means what she sings...
Anyway I love songs from both her albums and I really hope that she gets better and not become another talented singer that dies of an overdose. There are too many of these cases so from one of your fans, pleaseeee get better and go to rehab...
Here's a few of her MVs (from Frank & Back to Black). Just take a look at the MV and you can see the obvious difference in her weight..
Song: I heard love is blind (love it!!) -
Song: F**K me pumps (this song is about WAGs aka footballers' wife -haha) -
Song: You know I'm no good (wicked song!!) -
Song: Love is a losing game (simple but real sad MV, she cries here) -
I didn't load her famous song - Rehab cos' everyone knows this song, so I've uploaded songs that people might not have heard yet...so enjoy it!!
Okay..I'm officially pissed. Although I've vouched not to write about my problems but this certain person is really pissing me off. I've been getting comments from people that she copies my traits (and these are also from people who knew her first)!! This is not the first time that someone is "copying" me, I did have a similar encounter while I was studying. Some people might feel it's an honour but to me it really stinks when people come up to me saying that she's exactly like me..It's irritating!!
Anyway, I shall not name this person but she's in my black book...
These past few days I've been listening to songs by Colbie Caillat and it really helps me get through the day...
If you guys are wondering Colbie who? She's a singer songwriter from LA. Her music's more acoustic based so for those who like John Mayer, you will love her songs. Anyway, here's a great pic of her -
I've not been able to find the official MV on her songs but these are MVs that were created by her fans and it's still great. Her voice is crystal clear.
Bubbly -
The Little Things -
There are other songs that are also worth listening to such as Realize, Magic, One Fine Wine, Feelings Show so I'll definitely be buying her album : )
Recently, I've been watching the anime - Azumanga Daiohwhich was aired in 2002 and is adapted from the comedy manga written and illustrated by Kiyohiko Azuma.
Azumanga Daioh chronicles everyday life in a Japanese high school, following the trials and triumphs of six girls: reserved Sakaki's obsession with cute animals, Chiyo's struggle to fit in with girls five years older, Osaka's skewed perspective on the world, Yomi 's aggravation at an annoying best friend, Tomo, whose energy is rivaled only by her lack of sense, and Kagura's efforts in sports and school.
The characters are cho kawaii (including the teachers) & the character that I like the best is Osaka.
Her name is actually Ayumu Kagusa and she's a transfer student from Osaka. Anyway, Tomo (another quirky character) quickly chose her the nickname "Osaka" contrary to Ayumu's behavior, which is different from what Tomo sees as the "typical" Osakan. She's a sweet but spacey girl, who has a pretty bad habit of falling asleep during class or becoming otherwise distracted by everything from her own random thoughts to air particles. She also has a peculiar knack for pondering the meaning of words at the most inopportune times, which makes me laugh all the time.
I've been so busy with work lately (sigh) that I didn't even have the time to watch my anime. Anyway the good news is that my manager is on leave (yeah!!) so I'll be catching up on all my anime..
Since I didn't have the time to watch any shows, I'll mention another song that I like from Yuna Ito. It's called Endless Story, it was her first single released from her album - Heat . This song was also featured in the jap movie - Nana.
Anyway, here's the MV (acoustic version) & lyrics --
If you haven’t changed your mind
Soba ni ite hoshii yo Tonight
Tsuyogaru koto ni tsukareta no
Osana sugita no Everytime I think about you baby
Ima nara ieru I miss you
It’s so hard to say I’m sorry
Tatoeba dare ka no tame ja naku anata no tame ni
Utaitai kono uta wo Owara nai story tsuduku kono kagayaki ni
