Music Monday: Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger (VS Fashion Show 2011)

WOW!

Music Monday: Coldplay - Paradise

From Coldplay's latest album, Mylo Xyloto, this song has this relaxing and soothing vibe to it which aside from the artist makes me love this song even more.

It makes me imagine myself in a more less-stressful place. :)

I love Coldplay. I love their music. I love their songs. And now, I love Paradise even more because it was played during the Championship ceremony at the recently concluded ATP World Tour Finals™ when the 6 time ATP champion, Roger Federer, was being awarded his championship trophy. <3

"This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh"

Now, every time I hear Paradise, I see Roger lifting his huge trophy up.

Music Monday: Just The Way You Are

I spent my late Sunday afternoon with one of my closest guy friends, Kiko at the Powerplant Mall. As usual, we had the "lovelife" talk and I cannot remember exactly what it is I said that made him say: "Hindi ka hopeless romantic, romantically frustrated ka." (You're not a hopeless romantic, you're romantically frustrated.)

I think it was that old couple (and by old I mean wrinkly skin, gray hair and slow motion walk) that we passed by walking... holding hands. Fingers-intertwined kind of holding hands. I know, right? We don't get to see that anymore. It's like those kind of relationships are too rare, extinct.

So anyway, that statement from my friend got me second guessing my claim that I'm a hopeless romantic.

I realized I have been listening to this song for a while now. I don't think that makes me hopeless, I actually think it's frustration.




Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her nails, her nails
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Music Monday: Impossible

For the past weeks, I have been doing a lot of sound trippin' and I found myself listening to a variety of genres: House, Trance, R&B, Hiphop, Soul, Pop and even some OPM, Jazz and Reggae. Since I missed participating on Music Mondays, I'll start to post my music again every week.

I'm starting with something a friend sang to me while she's driving:



Impossible - Shontelle


I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did
And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did
And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof top
Write it on the sky love
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worst
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know
Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love is worst
Empty promises will wear
I know (i know)
And know when all is gone
There is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof top
Write it on the sky love
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Ooh impossible (yeah yeah)

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof top
Write it on the sky love
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy (i was happy)
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

I know this is a sad song but it's kind of fitting for me to be singing this over the weekend.
Thanks Sassylove for "dedicating" this song to me. This song used to only have 6 Plays on my iTunes, now since Friday it went from 6 to 40.

Any song suggestions? :)

Music Monday: Express Yourself - Glee Cover

I was watching the Madonna tribute episode of Glee yesterday and this song kind of stuck on me. 
Maybe because it's catchy, upbeat and it totally hit home with no dramatic melodies or lyrics. 
It was hip and fun and I loved it!

I hope you guys enjoy listening to this one. I can't find a decent Madonna video of this song 
so I just used Glee's cover instead. I think the cast did a good job on this song and the entire 
episode of Madonna.

Express Yourself lyrics


(spoken:)
Come on girls
Do you believe in love?
'Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this

(sung)
Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real

You don't need diamond rings
Or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast
You know they never last, no, no

What you need is a big strong hand
To lift ya to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you 'til you can't come down

Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real

Long stem roses are the way to your heart
But he needs to start with your head
Satin sheets are very romantic
What happens when you're not in bed

You deserve the best in life
So if the time isn't right then move on
Second best is never enough
You'll do much better baby on your own

Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real

Express yourself
You've got to make him
Express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey

So if you want it right now
Make him show you how
Express what he's got
Oh baby ready or not

And when you're gone he might regret it, gret it
Think about the love he once had
Try to carry on, but he just won't get it, get it (Oh)
He'll be back on his knees, so please

Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real

Express yourself
You've got to make him
Express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey

So if you want it right now
Make him show you how
Express what he's got
Oh baby ready or not

Express Yourself
Express Yourself
So if you want it right now
Better make him show you how (Make him show you how)
Baby ready or not

Express Yourself
Express Yourself
You know, you know, you know
So if you want it right now
Better make him show you how

Music Monday: Somebody to Love

This is a post-Valentine song for myself:

Somebody to Love - Leighton Meester / Robin Thicke

Paris, France to Michigan
London town and through Berlin
I cant believe this place Im in
Everywhere and back again
Porcelain and China dolls
Give me one and Ive seen them all
Got my back against the wall
Wonder where Ill be tomorrow?

But wait, now how long could this take?
Its hard to find a man,
When youre gone before he wakes.
They say its hard to achieve
But cant a girl believe?

(Chorus)
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know youre out there
Theres got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I cant seem to find
Somebody to love

(Robin Thicke)
Baby girl, there you at
Looking at me like a putty cat
Wondering where that thing is at
Wondering where your ring is at
Nobody ever did it quite like this
Nobody ever did it quite like you
Do your hair, I bought you shoes
We can hit the town like superstars do
You fall in love? Then let me show you love
Give me the key to your heart
I can give you what you want
When youre waiting for love
And youre lookin for someone
Imma turn this gossip girl into a woman

[Chorus x2]
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know youre out there
Theres got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I cant seem to find
Somebody to love

Je t'adore, Je t'adore
Make a move, do the thing
Turn around, strike a pose
Je t'adore, Je t'adore
Make a move, do the thing
Turn around, strike a pose
Ooh, I like it
Ooh, I need it
Ooh, I want it
Hey Hey

I know its hard to achieve
But cant a girl believe?

[Chorus x2]
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know youre out there
Theres got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I cant seem to find
Somebody to love

MM: Something to Believe In - Aqualung

First, I would like to give a shout out to Mommy Maria for all her comments in my entries. I really, really appreciate it and I appreciate that she enjoys the songs that I choose for my Music Monday entries. I hope you guys do too! :)

I am like a "ballad" girl. I learned that watching Glee. Ballads are like stories of your emotions, not necessarily a slow love song but a song that tells what you are feeling. I hope you get to know me through the songs that I am posting.

Today's featured song is from Aqualung and it's called SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN. Take a time to listen to it if you haven't yet.

Enjoy!

Let me know what you think about it, okay? Happy Monday!!

MM: Forever & Almost Always.

It's Monday again and it's time for Music Monday. This is only my second or third time to participate and my song for today is a little sentimental. I have heard this while watching One Tree Hill I think because Katy Voegele, the artist is a regular guest star on the show and her songs are amazing. This one in particular is AMAZING.

Listen and let me know. :)

Music Monday: Because I Am Stupid - SS501

For the past days my entries are mostly about my new "craze" of the moment: Boys Over Flowers and recently its soundtrack has also invaded my iTunes. By recently, I meant last night. After finishing the entire series I went and looked up some songs that I've heard but since it was all in Korean I had no idea where to start searching so what I did was I downloaded the entire soundtrack via torrent. I found the song and "discovered" other tracks that are beautiful too. I may not understand the lyrics because it's Korean but I found a site that has both Korean and English lyrics.

Here's one of the songs that I've been playing over and over since last night:

This is my first time to join Music Monday.

Please, please, please watch the video. It has English Subs so there'll be no problem with understanding it. The song is quite

catchy and the video is just too sweet! Watch it and see what I'm talking about.
