Jackie Evancho at David Foster & Friends

2011-06-27T22:45:00.000-07:00

I first learned of Jackie Evancho when I was browsing through videos posted on Facebook. And right after I listened to her, I was blown away. Apparently, I wasn't speechless...Jackie Evancho: Straight Out of Heaven...I could all but say. Now, almost a year after her America's Got Talent success, she has a CD out entitled Dream With Me. With a voice so angelic, you can't help but be dreamy as you listen to the tracks.

So ever since that first time I listened to Jackie, it has become part of my break time habits to browse for whatever video she has on YouTube. One of those that I've encountered is the following. This is one of the songs she did in the Hit Man's concert called David Foster and Friends. Check out the lovely Jackie Evancho singing O Mio Babbino Caro ("Oh My Dear Papa") from the 1918 Opera, Gianni Schicchi.

Hopelessly Addicted

2008-06-18T17:48:00.000-07:00

If there was any song that states how I'm feeling at the moment, this would be it..

HOPELESSLY ADDICTED
The Corrs

Opened my eyes today
And I knew there's something different
Saw you in a brand new way
Like the clouds had somehow lifted
And if yesterday I heard
Myself saying these words
I would swear it was a lie

I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling
Was I so blind
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted

I'll make a wish this day
And I'll send it to the heavens
That we will always stay
Entwined like this forever
And though the world may change
Coz nothing stays the same
I know we will survive

I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling
Was I so blind
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Naturally we acted

I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling
I was so blind
I was loving you all the time
And now I'm
Hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Chemically reacted
Naturally we acted
I was loving you all the time
Hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Chemically reacted
Naturally we acted
Yeah, Ohh

A Different Kind of Fergie

2007-07-30T09:03:00.000-07:00

This is pretty much a new side of Fergie. Most her songs are playful and groovy in nature. Take My Humps, London Bridges, and Fergilicious for example.

Big Girls Don't Cry gives us a taste of a more serious Fergie. Have a glimpse...

Big Girls Don't Cry
Fergie

Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

The path that I'm walking
[Big Girls Don't Cry lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

[CHORUS]

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS]

La Da Da Da Da Da

I Love the Lips of an Angel

2007-07-23T09:19:00.000-07:00

I'm starting to become a really big fan of the alternative rock In music appreciation, I have always been adventurous. Some like R&B and only R&B. Others prefer metal and cringe in pure disgust whenever they hear of beats and blues being played.

But me? I can have Guns, Tupac, MJ, and Patti Austin in a single 1 hour playlist and be completely fine. Whatever catches my attention is fine so long as it doesn't fall on the not-so-genre, noise.

So in my music adventures lately, the following track is one that's part of that diverse playlist....

Lips Of An Angel lyrics

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?

MiJac Hub : The New MJ Forum

2007-03-30T09:17:00.000-07:00

NOTE : This forum has been closed. Another MJ web arena will be announced as soon as it is finished.

I've always been a big fan of music...and an even bigger fan of one of the greatest artists to ever hit this planet...Michael Jackson!

It has always been an honor to experience the magic of his music and the genius of his artistry both in the recording and performing fields.

In this new forum I'm setting up, you will find me giving tribute to the man who has always been a big influence in my life as a musician/music-lover by bringing together as many MJ fans possible in one corner.

You might also find video and music files of Michael...possibly from other members of the forum and some from me(most of which I've collected ever since this pc came landing into my doorstep 4 years ago during my 16th birthday).

So...I hope you'll all enjoy the MJ forum I've dedicated time to set up. And I(together with all of you, fellow fans) hope to share the wonderful experience I've encountered in being a witness to Michael's brilliance both in dance and music.

Here it is...

Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet that's my stuff - Yes

If I bought it nigga please don't touch
And keep talking that mess, that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time
And It's my mine name that is on that Jag
So remove your bags let me call you a cab

Standing in the front yard telling me
How I'm such a fool - Talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute
matter fact he'll be here in a minute - baby

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable

So go ahead and get gone
And  call up on that chick and see if she is home
Oops, I bet ya thought that I didn't know
What did you think I was putting you out for?
Cause you was untrue
Rolling her around in the car that I bought you
Baby you dropped them keys hurry up before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard telling me
How I am such a fool - Talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute

Public Fun

2006-10-21T08:08:00.000-07:00

Fell in love with this song the minute I first heard its danceable beat. Danceable, it is...just couldn't help but bob my head and snap my fingers in time with its tune ech time I hear it.

Step out for this Public Affair by Jessica Simpson.

Public Affair
Jessica Simpson

There go the street lights--the night's officially on,
I got the green light--to do whatever I want,
I'm gonna stand outside the box and put the rules on hold,
Tonight carte blanche first class for the evening

Ready, set, go

All the girls steppin' out for a public affair
(All night, let's rock 'cause the party don't stop)
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares, let's rock, 'cause the party don't stop)

Hey, baby, I see you lookin' over here, baby
Are you gonna keep lookin'--or get up
And talk to me
Here's an opportunity that you don't wanna miss tonight
Tonight carte blanche first class for the evening

Ready, set, go

All the girls steppin' out for a public affair
(All night, let's rock 'cause the party don't stop)
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares, let's rock, 'cause the party don't stop)

Oh, oh
Do what you wanna do, tonight the world does not exist
No, no, no
Move how you want to move,
All my girls work it out--like this

Give me room to shake, shake, shake, shake

All the girls steppin' out for a public affair
(All night, let's rock 'cause the party don't stop)
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares, let's rock, 'cause the party don't stop)

All girls for a public affair
(All night, let's rock 'cause the party don't stop)
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares, let's rock, cause the party don't stop)

All night don't stop, who cares let's rock
All night don't stop (don't stop, don't stop)
Who cares, let's rock

Oh, oh, oh
Hey, baby
Ah, oh, oh, oh
Ah, oh, oh

All the girls steppin' out for a public affair
(All night, let's rock 'cause the party don't stop)
All the cameras come out for a public affair
(Who cares, let's rock, cause the party don't stop)
(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

This is the song...

I Need You
LeAnn Rimes

I don’t need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I’ve always needed something
But I’ve got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You’re my only reason
You’re my only truth

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you

You’re the hope that moves me
To courage again
You’re the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it’s so amazing
’cause that’s just how you are
And I can’t turn back now
’cause you’ve brought me too far

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you
I need you

This is Crazy

2006-07-26T07:57:00.000-07:00

I may be too crazy for feeling this...but what can I do?

Crazy for You
Madonna

Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one

I see you through the smoky air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dyin' to say, is that

CHORUS:
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you

Tryin' hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye, we need no words at all

Slowly now we begin to move
Every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see

CHORUS

It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true
I'm crazy, crazy for you

Could I?

2006-07-14T07:36:00.000-07:00

Been kinda fixated with Whtney songs lately...
This song, for one, is one hot track you'd wanna check out. And she's with Enrique Iglesias, too. That guy, my dears, has got 100%, undiluted sex appeal. ;)

Check it out.

Could I Have This Kiss Forever

WHITNEY:
Dame un beso para siempre

ENRIQUE:
Over and over I look in your eyes
You are all I desire
You have captured me
I want to hold you
I want to be close to you
I never want to let go

WHITNEY:
I wish that this night would never end
I need to know

CHORUS (together):
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I, could I, could I have this kiss forever

WHITNEY:
Over and over I've dreamed of this night
Now you´re here by my side
You are next to me
(You are next to me)
I want to hold you and touch you and taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end
Oh baby please

CHORUS:
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Un beso para siempre (Enrique),
Para siempre (Whitney)
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I, could I, could I have this kiss forever

BRIDGE(together)
I don´t want any night to go by
Without you by my side
I just want all my days
Spent being next to you
Lived for just loving you
And baby, oh by the way

CHORUS
Sólo, sólo un beso, un beso para siempre (Enrique)
Para siempre (Whitney)
Dame un beso para siempre (Enrique)
Para siempre (Whitney)
Could I have this kiss forever
Could I have this kiss forever

Yes, It Is

2006-07-11T06:05:00.000-07:00

LATER

how could you come with me
when you knew all along that you had to go

how could you you watch me sleep
so close to you
pretending not to know

how could you memorize my name
and forget who i am

how could you think
you're still the same
believing i can

it's too late to stop pretending
it's too late for a new beginning
later than the sunset
later that the rain
later than ever to love you again

how could you ask for more
with an innocent smile
trusting me to stay

how could you close the door
and leave me here
supposing im ok

how could you break down
my disguise
and uncover my fears

how could you look into my eyes
ignoring my tears

it's too late to stsrt pretending
it's too late for a new beginning
later that the sunset
later than the rain
later than ever to love you again
[x2]

its too late

Would You Agree?

2006-07-05T08:18:00.000-07:00

Would you agree with Vanessa and Brian on this track?

Love Is
Vanessa Williams feat. Brian McKnight

They say it's a river, circles the earth
A beam of light shining to the edge of the universe
It conquers all
It changes everything
They say it's a blessing
They say it's a gift
They say it's a miracle and I believe that it is
It conquers all
but it's a mystery
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And fades away so easily
In this world we've created
Where this place that we lived
In a blink of an eye the darkness slips in
Love lights the world, unites the love that's for eternity
Love breaks the chain
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And turns it in to the beauty that remains
Look at this place
It was paradise but now it's dying
I'll brave the love
I'll take my chances that it's not too late
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And fades away so easily
Love breaks the chain
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And turns it in to the beauty that remains

Will You Stay?

2006-07-04T06:17:00.000-07:00

I've always been a big fan of Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston's flick, The Bodyguard. It's a movie that I could watch over and over again and never get tired of. I'm an even greater fan of its original soundtrack. Most of which were done by the one of the 2 leads, Whitney Houston.

This song right here is my most favorite from the array of magnificent tracks found in the OST album...
A classic...a masterpiece...Run To You...

Delight...

Run To You
Whitney Houston

I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
A girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
What's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what does it mean?

(chorus)

I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
If you only knew how much...

I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away

p.s.
I learned one thing today:
your smile does funny things to my heart :)

If You're Not Brave Enough

2006-06-27T04:04:00.000-07:00

I like the song a lot(strong message...straight to the point). But they could've done something better with the video...
Check it out.


WALK AWAY
Kelly Clarkson

You've got your mother and your brother
Every other, undercover, telling you what to say (say)
You think I'm stupid
But the truth is, that it's Cupid, baby
Loving you has made me this way (way)

So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger, oh yeah
You need to know this situations getting old
And now the more you talk, the less I can take

I'm looking for attention,
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away (just walk away, just walk away)

I waited here for you like a kid waiting after school
So tell me, how come you never showed (showed)
I gave you everything and never asked for anything
And look at me, I'm all alone (alone)
So before you start defending, baby
Stop all your pretending

I know you know I know
So what's the point in being slow
Let's get this show on the road today, hey

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away (just walk away, just walk away)

I want a love, I want a fire
To feel the burn, my desires
I want a man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me
Die for me
Live and breathe for me
Do you care for me
Cause if you don't then just leave

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away

If you don't have the answer
Just walk away
Just leave
Walk away, walk away

I'm A Slave For You(?)(?)

2006-06-23T19:13:00.000-07:00

No, it's not the Britney track. However, this song I'm referring to proclaims the same thing...being a slave for someone. (Huh?!) Kinda awkward when I put it that way, I know. But there's nothing awkward about this song. It's actually very very special.

I sometimes ask for 'signs'. And this song was once given to me as a sign. (hmmph...*zip mouth*)

Anyway...here you go...
Alipin by Shamrock

Alipin
Shamrock

Di ko man maamin
Ikaw ay mahalaga sa akin
Di ko man maisip
Sa pagtulog ikaw ang panaginip
Malabo man ang aking pag-iisip
Sana"y pakinggan mo ang sigaw nitong damdamin

[chorus:]
Ako"y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako"y manhid
Sana at iyong nariring
Sayong yakap ako"y nasasabik...

Ayoko sa iba
Sayoako ay hindi magsasawa
Ano man ang iyong sabihin
Umasa ka ito ay diringgin
Madalas man na parang aso"t pusa
Giliw sa piling mo ako ay masaya

[chorus:]
Ako"y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako"y manhid
Sana at iyong nariring
Sayong yakap ako"y nasasabik...

[coda:]
Pilit mang abutin ang mga tala
Basta"t sa akin wag kang mawawala

Ako"y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako"y manhid
Sana ay iyong naririnig
Sayong yakap ako"y nasasabik
Pagkat ikaw lang ang nais makatabi
Malamig man o mainit ang gabi
Nais ko sana iparating na ikaw lamang
Ang siyang aking iibigin

Tattooed On My Mind
(click button to play track)
D'Sound

Maybe you soon forget about all
or maybe you'll miss it like I do

one thing's for sure:
I'm all knocked out
spend too much time thinking of you

And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you're the dangerous kind
and your smile is tattooed on my mind
And I can't get you out of my dreams

Don't wanna write, I don't wanna call,
- I would not know what to say
It should be you, that's how I want it to be
Tell me you feel the same way

And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you're the deja vu's kind
and your smile is tattooed on my mind
Cause I can't get you out of my dreams

Oh, yesterday I was feeling safe
All I do today is trying to be brave
And no melody can seem to soothe my mind
And now I curse you for being so sweet and so kind

And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you're the deja vu's kind
and your face is tattooed on my mind
And I can't get you out of my dreams

Yes I know you're tatooed on my mind you're tatooed.....

Reality Check

2006-06-15T05:55:00.000-07:00

One song about love that really got me to thinking is this Michael Jackson and Patti Austin track entitled "It's the Falling In Love". Talks about falling in love and the silly realites associated with it.
Read on over the lyrics and see. You justmight find yourself nodding in agreement as you read on.

It's The Falling In Love
(click button to play)
Michael Jackson & Patti Austin

It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry
You've got me fallin' in love

You're not like anybody I ever knew
But that don't mean that I don't know where we are
And though I find myself attracted to you
This time I'm trying not to go too far, cause

No matter how it starts it ends the same
Someone's always doing someone more
Trading in the passion for that taste of pain
It's only gonna happen again

It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
All night... all night

And though I'm trying not to look in your eyes
Each time I do they kind of burn right through me
Don't want to lay down in a bed full of lies
And yet my heart is saying come and do me

Now we're just a web of mystery
A possibility of more to come
I'd rather leave the fantasy of what might be
But here I go fallin' again

It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love
(You got me falling in love, got me falling in love)
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
(Repeat to fade)

If I Were You

2006-05-31T06:15:00.000-07:00

HOOBASTANK
If I Were You

You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
You look for all thats wrong instead of all thats right
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade
You never say a word unless its to complain
Its driving me insane

If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars for all that I have
If I were you

Look what surrounds you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be
So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the world I love that I do
If I were you

So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
For the world I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I've wanted to
If I were you

When the Wrong One Loves You Right

2006-05-29T21:58:00.000-07:00

When the Wrong One Loves You Right
(click button to play song)
Celine Dion

Don''t care, what they think
How they feel, or what they say
You''re everything, I never knew
I always wanted, baby
I''ve been warned, so many times
They tell me I''ve ignored the signs
But nobody knows you like I do
The only one for me is you

I can''t stop, can''t fight, can''t resist it
When the wrong one loves you right
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah)
Can''t run - can''t hide - can''t say no
When the wrong ones loves you right
(Oh-oh-oh oh)
When the wrong ones loves you right

Getting tired, of hearing that
You''re dangerous, but they won''t stop
Until I leave, they won''t believe
That being with you won''t break my heart
So worried ''bout, the road ahead
They can''t see that, you''re my best friend
They''re never gonna take me away from you
There''s nothing they can do

I can''t stop, can''t fight, can''t resist it
When the wrong one loves you right
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah)
Can''t run - can''t hide - can''t say no
When the wrong ones loves you right
(Oh-oh-oh oh)
When the wrong ones loves you right

How can I walk away
When the feeling''s so strong
I know you''re where I belong
They say I let my heart
Make up my mind
That''s why I''ll never say goodbye

I can''t stop, can''t fight, can''t resist it
When the wrong one loves you right
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah)
Can''t run - can''t hide - can''t say no
When the wrong ones loves you right
(Oh-oh-oh oh)
When the wrong ones loves you right
I can''t stop, can''t fight, can''t resist it
When the wrong one loves you right
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah)
Can''t run - can''t hide - can''t say no
When the wrong ones loves you right
(Oh-oh-oh oh)
When the wrong ones loves you right

I was searching around Limewire trying to look for live performances when I came across this file entitled "Celine Dion with Destiny's Child - Emotions & When the Wrong One Loves You Right - Live". The first song title(Emotions), I knew...but I didn't know about the second one. After the file finished downloading, I immediately played the 65-MB *.mpg clip and feasted on the live performance by two of my fave artists. The first song they performed as mentioned earlier, was Emotions, a remake originally done by The Beegees. After the first song, came When the Wrong One Loves You Right. It's the first time fo me to hear this Celine Dion track and I when the first hitting of the drums came, I knew I'd like the rest of which that I'd hear. It's a beautiful track. Not only because I could relate to it(ehem...heheh!!) but also because it has this wonderful message that tells us we don't need to have our so-called "right one" to be happy. When we love, we just can't run, can't hide and can't say no to the feeling...even if we think it's the wrong one we're loving. Fact is...there's no right one or wrong one...when it comes to love. Hmm...just a thought...

Anyways...I'm right now watching the rest of the video clips that I've downloaded. I just watched a live performnce of Natural Woman by no less than Aretha Franklin, Gloria Estefan, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey together with the song's writer, Carole King. Boy, it's great to watch the pros get together on stage. Whew! Watching them never fails to amaze me greatly...they give me goosebumps all the time.

It's always been my hobby to watch live performances. It is in these situations wherein genuineness of talents are shown(not in music videos...that's just edited, the artist lip-syncs and all). I'm so much into award shows or anniversary specials because it is in these types of shows wherein arrays of amazing performances from super talented artists are shown.

Hmm...so much for the blah blah's...hehe..I'll end this here...enjoy the song..the title is linked to a file which happens to be the song itself...LoL!

Au revoir! Enjoy!

How Can I Not Love You

2006-05-20T08:50:00.000-07:00

How Can I Not Love You. A song about a love that exists but can never be. Quite depressing. Love the melody, though...

This one's a soundtrack from the '99 Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-Fat film Anna and the King. Wonderful movie! Full of adventure and wit and life. Foster was magnificent!

HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU
Joy Enriquez

Can not touch
Can not hold
Can not be together

Can not love
Can not kiss
Can not have each other

Must be strong
And we must let go
Can not say
What our hearts must know

How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms

How does one waltz away
From all the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone

Can not dream
Can not share
Sweet and tender moments

Can not feel
How we feel
Must pretend it's over

Must be brave
And we must go on
Must not say
What we've known all along

How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms

How does one waltz away
From all the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone

Must be brave
And we must go on
Must not say
What we've known all along

For Mom

2006-05-14T09:18:00.000-07:00

One song always comes to mind whenever I think of Mother's Day...Mama by the Spice Girls.

So here goes the video & lyrics to that wonderful track. This one's dedicated to you, Ma! Mooowah! ;) Love you.

Mama
SPICE GIRLS

She used to be my only enemy and never let me free,
Catching me in places that I know I shouldn't be,
Every other day I crossed the line,
I didn't mean to be so bad,
I never thought you would
become the friend I never had.

Back then I didn't know why,
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all that you did was love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
My friend

I didn't want to hear it then but
I'm not ashamed to say it now,
Every little thing you said and did was right for me,
I had a lot of time to think about,
about the way I used to be,
Never had a sense of my responsibility.

Back then I didn't know why,
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all that you did was love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend, My friend

But now I'm sure I know why,
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all I can give you is love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
My friend

Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
You're my friend

(repeat previous verse and fade)

A Not So Familiarly Great Track

2006-05-09T09:26:00.000-07:00

I don't think a lotta people have heard this very nice track. I've never even heard it being played on the radio. You may wonder where I've heard of it...well, I found the lyrics written on a Judith McNaught novel entitled Perfect (synopsis here scroll a lil bit down to the FROM THE PUBLISHER area) which I really really like! In fact, it's one of my favorite novels. Plot is great. Characters are awesome. This also involves hollywood, which makes it twice as enticing and enthralling.

Gosh, McNaught just holds me captive from page to page. And this piece is no exception to that.

Anyway...bout the song...it was played in one of the dance scenes in the novel. The lyrics kinda intrigued me and made me wonder if the song really did exist(coz after all, it was fiction...what I was reading). So I searched for it over limewire. Typed the title with Whitney Houston and Jermaine Jackson in the artist text field...and whoa..there it was...the song file! So there...I downloaded it and listened to it. And in the first few seconds of playing the song...I knew I was gonna love the whole track...

Here goes the lyrics. (You may download the file as well...I'll give ya the link at the bottom.)

NOBODY LOVES ME LIKE YOU DO
Whitney Houston and Jermaine Jackson

Like a candle burning bright
Love is glowing in your eyes
A flame to light our way
That burns brighter ev'ry day
But, now, I have you
Nobody loves me like you do

Like a leaf upon the wind
I could find no place to land
I dreamed the hours away
And wondered every day
Do dreams come true?
And nobody loves me like you do

What if I'd never met you?
Where would I be right now?
Funny how life just falls in place somehow
You've touched my heart in places
That I never even knew
'Cause nobody loves me like you do

I was words without a tune
I was a song still unsung
A poem with no rhyme
A dancer out of time
But, now, there's you
Babe, nobody loves me like you do

What if I'd never met you?
Where would I be right now?
Funny how life just falls in place somehow
You've touched my heart in places
That I never even knew
Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me like you do
Nobody loves me like you do

A Beautiful McCain Track

2006-05-08T22:30:00.000-07:00

I love this Edwin McCain song entitled I Could Not Ask For More...

No reason in particular...I just love it...

Check it out...(gonna give you a link to its mp3 file, too)

"I Could Not Ask For More"

Edwin McCain

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

[Chorus]
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true
And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've got all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

[Chorus]

I could not ask for more than the love you give me
'Coz it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more

I just looove this track. It's also music fom the motion picture Message in a Bottle (which also is a Nicholas Sparks novel).

So Sick...Not Really...

2006-05-08T07:58:00.000-07:00

I'm not really sick of love songs(don't think I ever will)...but I really love the beat and feel of this track by Ne-Yo...it's called So Sick. Feel it! ;)

So Sick
Ne-Yo

Yea

Do (8X)

Oh Yea

Gotta change my answering machine

Now that Im alone
Cus right now it says that we
Can�t come to the phone.
And I know it makes no sense
Cus you walked out the door
But it�s the only way I hear your voice any more

Its ridiculous
It�s been months
For some reason
I just can�t get over us
And Im stronger than this
Enough is enough
No more walkin' round wit my head down
Im so over being blue
Crying over you

Chorus:
And im so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done wit wishing you were still here
Said Im so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can�t I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calendar I had
Thats marked July 15th
Because if there�s no more you
There�s no more anniversary
Im so sad up wit my thoughts of you
And your memory
And now every song reminds me of what used to be

And that�s the reason

Im so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done wit wishing you were still here
Said Im so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can�t I turn off the radio?

Ooohh

Leave me alone
Stupid love songs
Don�t make me think about her smile
Bout having my first child
Im letting go
Turning off the radio

Cus Im so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done wit wishing she was still here
Said Im so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can�t I turn off the radio?

And im so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done wit wishing she was still here
Said Im so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can�t I turn off the radio?

And im so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done wit wishing you were still here
Said Im so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can�t I turn off the radio?
Why can�t I turn off the radio?
So why can�t I turn off the radio?

New PCD Track

2006-05-07T00:33:00.000-07:00

Here's a new track by The Pussycat Dolls entitled Buttons...loooove it!

Inaugural Instinct

2006-05-06T07:07:00.000-07:00

Another rant pit, this has to be. Not just any rant pit, though...for it covers up a great deal about something I've always loved...music.

Music has always been(and would always be) a big chunk of my life...of myself. I mean, wow I just couldn't imagine a world without music, yah know. The silence would probably be so deafening. And the empty world would seem emptier. Whew! Well...duh...wouldn't have to worry bout that.

Music isn't merely entertainment for me. It's also a sanctuary where I find solace in troubling times...a rescue from my solitude...a magical carpet which takes me wherever I wish to go. Truly, music is a huge part of my being. I'm glad to have found a place where I could express how it has influenced my life and touched my soul.

In this blog, you'll find me talking about anything at all about music. I'd be posting lyrics, react to a song, talk about my favorite artists...and do everything else that I haven't thought of just yet. LoL! Can't wait! See y'all then. ;)
