SPREAD YOUR INFECTIOUS SMILES

There are many songs that cheer me up when I'm down. 

Sometimes, it's unbelievable what music can do.

In this particular post, I'm going to talk about 2 of my favourite "Smile" songs. Like literally entitled "Smile" songs. 

The first one reminds you to be constantly happy although its slow jazz-like tune doesn't really seem that upbeat. 

I read a comment on my post (the one on Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet") which mentioned this artist and I went to check her out.

The first song from her that I saw on Youtube was entitled a simple but meaningful word - Smile.

It's nothing like Lily Allen's or Uncle Kracker's "Smile" (both tracks I likey by the way).

This is probably one of the jazz songs that I like. I don't usually like Jazz but this one is really not bad. It reminds us about one core thing that many don't remember to do, and that is to SMILEEEEEEE~

Aiyo but I usually smile so some people actually think I'm nuts lar. But there are times when I'm so stressed out I kinda forgot how to smile and there are also times in which I'm so sad, I just can't or have to fake one. 

That's life really. That's why we just need cheerio songs or sometimes inspirational songs to cheer us up...

I guess this is one that reminds you of just that - to live within happiness despite the pain because it is true that you choose how you want to feel. (though many times I tried to feel happy when I'm sad and it failed lar)

Smile by Mandy Harvey

Mandy Harvey lost her hearing 3 years ago but she never gives up on her dreams. I think that deserves a huge applause.

Smile though your heart is aching,

Smile even though it's breaking,

When there are clouds in the sky,

You'll get by,

If you smile through your fear and sorrow,

Smile and maybe tomorrow,

You'll see the sun shining through for you,

Light up your face with gladness,

Hide every trace of sadness,

Although a tear may be ever so near,

That's the time you must keep on trying,

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll see that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

I try my best to smile even though I'm sad though it is never easy. Most of the times I'm really happy but I remember those super low moments in my life that I almost feel that I can't get through and I felt that life is so meaningless. However, I don't really always cry when I'm sad, though I really feel like it. I have problems crying these days. I feel so sad but I just can't get them tears out when I need to release them. 

These few days had been smiley ones for me though. There were many great things that happened for me and I met one or two great people whom I really enjoy spending time with. So things are really great for me. Should have nothing to complain about (but I'm human so I can still find things to complain about one haha). But this song reminds me of my saddest time in life and the next time I feel that low again, I shall remember this song.

Alright. A change of mood. 

Let me teleport you to a world of happiness. 

You know the feeling of pure happiness because the one you love just made your day?

That special happy feeling that special someone gave you?

Oh yeah...this is the song for you to help relive those moments.

You make me smile!!~

Smile By Uncle Kracker

You're better then the best

I'm lucky just to linger in your light

Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right

Completely unaware

Nothing can compare to where you send me, 

Lets me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok

And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun

Fall out of bed, sing like bird

Dizzy in my head, spin like a record

Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Ohh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone

Somehow you come along

Just like a flower poking the sidewalk crack and just like that

You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun

Fall out of bed, sing like bird

Dizzy in my head, spin like a record

Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Ohh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you

Cuz everytime that I get around you

I see the best of me inside your eyes

You make me smile

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun

Fall out of bed, sing like bird

Dizzy in my head, spin like a record

Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Ohh, you make me smile

This is just one fun song. 

'You make me smile like the sun.....the thought of you can drive me wild"

There is no just one person who does that to me. Everyone I love makes me happy every single day. I'm just grateful for the people I have around me...I have the coolest, funnest, cheeriest, nicest people as friends and family members so I guess, what more can I ask for, right?

So people I hope this post gets you smiling a bit lar.

Oh here's one more cool poem about SMILES.

I just love it 

A smile is quite a funny thing,
It wrinkles up your face,
And when it's gone you never find
Its secret hiding place.

But far more wonderful it is,
To see what smiles can do.
You smile at one, he smiles at you,
And so one smile makes two.

He smiles at someone, since you smile,
And then that one smiles back,
And that one smiles until, in truth,
You fail in keeping track.

And since a smile can do great good,
By cheering hearts of care.
Let's smile and not forget the fact 
That smiles go everywhere. 

SPREAD THE SMILE!

With Lotsa Love,
