high and dry

I love this song. Simply because it made me realize that money or fame is not key to happiness. Happiness is what you have with your real friends and love ones. This song reminds us that a man who will sacrifice everything to achieve his goal for fame & money will just end up alone, in sorrow and most of all with regret. High and dry is a song by the band Radiohead and is one of the band's popular hits. It was released on February 1995. It was their second release track in their album “The Bends”.

for blink 182

As we all know blink 182 broke up last February 2005 due to conflict in their priorities. Tom DeLonge (guitars) quit the band because he wants to spend more time to his family which by the way he hasn’t done due to their bands great success and hype. Like other broken bands, theirs wasn’t sweet. They were exchanging bad words to each other. Tom and Mark (bassist) were friends for a decade plus. The good news is that Tom, Mark and Travis (the freakin’ drummer) have been talking lately and letting their past arguments and misunderstanding put behind. They haven’t been talking for 4 years since their break-up. I just hope that they would reunite once again on the stage. This video was made by Ayvayshun and is dedicated for the band blink 182. What I like in this video is the drama in it. Ayvayshun had done a great job compiling this video. The title of the song by the way is “the best years of our lives” by black list club.

it's a beautiful day

Hey guys its 2009! And what is more beautiful to start the year than is to have a positive attitude, don’t you agree? And since this would be my first post of the year, I thought the song “Beautiful day” by U2 would be the perfect fit. It is like destine (lol). Well if you don’t agree with me, your opinions are always welcome. Beautiful day by U2 is a song about trials, misfits, suffering, name all the bad times in life(sounds bad right) and then there is optimism. Optimism is one thing in life that gave us a positive attitude to surpass all the trials in life. Like what in the lyrics says ”After the flood, all the colors came out”. What I love in this video is the crowd. They were jumping and singing for the song simply because it’s beautiful. Not to mention U2 led by Bono have done a nice job jamming with them. Just in case you don’t know anything about the band which I doubt, U2 is an Irish rock band that was formed in 1976. So practically, the band is 33years old (if my math is rig...

the most played christmas song

First of all, I would like to greet you happy holidays and since its Christmas, I would like to feature you about the most played Christmas song. “Last Christmas” by Wham of the last five years according to PRS. Just so you know, Wham were a pop band from the 80’s composed by George Michael, Andrew Ridgeley, Pepsi DeMacque and Shirlie Holliman. Enjoy.

The All American Rejects sense of humor

The All-American Rejects is one of today’s mainstream rock bands. With their catchy music pop punk rock style, people especially teenagers wont be hard to love them. I just love watching them on their music videos. Speaking of music videos, I just watched them on youtube where they played Britney Spears’s “Womanizer” in acoustic (yeah! Womanizer for real). I was like “what?” It’s very funny though. I have to admit that their version is quite better than the original version. But don’t take my word for it. Just watch it and you’d know what I mean. Enjoy.

better together by Jack Johnson

Sorry guys I haven’t updated my blog. I was kinda busy at work. Anyways, today I would like to feature Jack Johnson. Anyone knows him right. Well for those who don’t, he is from the paradise of Hawaii. His music is simple yet great. That’s the reason why I love him. He’s not one of those very sophisticated music artists with all those gadgets and everything. He reminds me of the old days where me and my friends used to gather around and play guitar and just having fun. Anyways, enough with the chit-chat, here’s one of Jack Johnson’s hits, “better together”. Enjoy.

Tracy Chapman

If you hear the name of Tracy Chapman, would you recognize the name or what’s the first thing that pops in you mind? Well if you don’t have any clue of her then I would definitely feel sorry for you. This woman is one of the most talented musicians I know. She’s one of the most gifted songwriters around and the way she puts the right melody of her songs is just astounding. When listening to her music it makes you feel captivated. It’s like meeting a stranger yet you felt you’ve known him/her for a long time or eating a cookie and once you tasted it, it becomes your favorite cookie. She is that good. Her music lets you reveal your emotional side. For me, her voice is adorable and I think is her most important asset aside of her folk guitar simply because her voice represents every men and women in the world. You can definitely relate to her songs.
