TAM-MY-MUSIC, MY-LIFE

"A melody is like seeing someone for the first time, the physical attraction, sex...but then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics, they're story, who they are underneath. It's the combination of the two that makes it magic" - Sophie

JOHN MAYER ON MY MOUTH


THE FIRST OFFICIAL MUSIC POST ON MY MUSIC BLOG.

First, let me share with you my philosophy regarding love in relation to music, adopted from the movie "Music and Lyrics":
"The melody of a song is like the physical attraction - you know the looks the ahem...you know what that rhymes with X; the lyrics therefore is the personality, the soul of a person, the inner beauty. Together Great "Melody & Lyrics" teams up to make a perfect song. Sadly, there are so many 'perfect songs' out there but not enough perfect men (or women also la)...ahem...hehe...

ANYWAYZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

So I was writing my personal blog and was searching for some songs that could express my feelings at this moment. I knew this song "My Stupid Mouth" sung by Ryan Cabrera and after doing some researching, I found that this song apparently was by John Mayer.

Now, you all should know by now that I'm a huge fan of Taylor Swift's music - because I can totally relate to most of her song lyrics and also I love the music. Yeah, get the picture.

Basically I just like country music as a whole because I feel that I can relate to a lot of country music lyrics and also, I just feel that country songs are the most meaningful.

Anyway, today I realize that John Mayer also writes a couple of songs that I can totally relate to.

Well, "My Stupid Mouth" is one of them.

Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find what soon

I think that I'm a social screw up sometimes
I never have this filtering system in me. I talk too much.
And honestly, I don't know what to do about the mouth and my brain not being able to control it. Just like what John Mayer sing in his song...
There is just no filter in my head

One hell of a writer, John Mayer. Love some of his lyrics.


I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now... Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire


You know, everytime I have a crush on someone, I just feel that I end up saying all the wrong things in front of him. Those guys that I can joke with and be myself with are not those I like but then those who I like, I can NEVER BE MYSELF when I'm with them. I end up saying all the crappy, ridiculous, non-sensible stuff that makes me look like an idiot. Awkward. So ya, it hurts and EVERY SINGLE TIME I TELL MYSELF - never again talk in front of him - avoid conversation to not look stupid. Sometimes I manage to be silent. But sometimes I end up talking again because like John Mayer say - in some ways, I want the attention...and ya again, it leads to the whole circle of embarrassment.

So ya, "I'm never speaking up again, it only hurts me" - I'd rather be a mystery (though I can't, because I'm not the kind of girl who can be mysterious) but I really rather be mysterious than being a fool. Sigh..sickening right?

Why do we even have feelings?...makes us so weak in some ways.

If only this song has another paragraph that says how I keep embarrassing myself despite the fact I say I don't want to anymore...it would be the perfect song to describe my brain and my mouth's relationship. Oh and also, if it is written in a female perspective, that could be helpful ;P

John Mayer's album


John Mayer also wrote another contradicting song - "Say"
Well, "Better to say too much, than never to say what you NEED to say again"

In some ways, I also live by this statement.
That's why I say TOO MUCH...way too much sometimes. I think sometimes if we don't say it then probably you won't dare to, or won't be able to. I really think that everyone should voice out their opinions, the same goes to me. I do admit that I'm really scared to talk sometimes (in certain situations) but I do strongly believe that we need to in some ways voice out what we think. Hence, our BLOGS haha.

I think the person most annoyed with me talking is my sister. She is a non-talker, who never really talk much. I think she feels that action speaks louder than words. True in some ways. Sometimes, she finds talking unnecessary if it doesn't change anything. But imagine if no one says anything about anything, so? It also won't make any difference. And so she just find me super-duper annoying when I talk. Well, it's not my fault anyway. I mean, everyone has a purpose in life; I could be born to talk. ;P

So, in some ways, I feel that I need to talk and in some ways I think I can't be talking so much because I don't have a filtering system.
Can you see what is going on my brains? OMG!
What am I?

Okay I'm going to mull over books now. My God...If I were to be 'critical' on my mouth, I think I should at least try to be critical in my assignments first ya...haha


Take care
And of course - my 2 song recommendations for today are both by John Mayer
