THE PRINCESS OF DREAMS

Funny how music plays such an important part in my life now and I don't even take the time to write about it anymore.

I love the sounds of We The King's the moment the song "Check Yes Juliet" rocked the airwaves.

Their music always give me this special feeling, in which I feel that I'm out of this world!

Their music carries a faster pace but at the same time romantic!

Their latest single featuring Demi Lovato has once again made its way to my favourite songs list.

Nothing particularly memorable about the song but I guess it is a song about reminiscing, and reminiscing the good old days is what I like to do most.

There are many college days that I'd like to relive, moments that I'll go through over and over again...without any complains.

So here's to those days!

Do you remember the nights 

We'd stay up just laughing 

Smiling for hours at anything 

Remember the nights 

We drove around crazy in love 

I remember the nights in Liverpool, the nights were I watched Big Brother with my housemates and we'd do crazy stuff...

I remember pulling my hair out, doing assignments...while watching "How I Met Your Mother"...

I remember the production of our final year project...endless, sleepless nights of nothing but fun...

I remember all the good times and although the bad, but the bad were just bittersweet...

When the lights go out, we'll be safe and sound 

We'll take control of the world 

Like it's all we have to hold on to 

And we'll be a dream 

Do you remember the nights 

We made our way dreaming 

Hoping of being someone big 

We're so young then 

We were too crazy in love 

When the lights go out, we'll be safe and sound 

We'll take control of the world 

Like it's all we have to hold on to 

And we'll be a dream 

Woah, woah, woah... 

Woah, woah, oh... 

When the lights go out, we'll be safe and sound 

We'll take control of the world 

Like it's all we have to hold on to 

And we'll be 

When the lights go out, we'll be safe and sound 

We'll take control of the world 

Like it's all we have to hold on to 

And we'll be a dream

Many times, I wish that I could live in my own dream, like in Inception...

We'll be a dream...my friends....and you will be with me...

Enjoy

With Lotsa Love,

T STORY

So I'm not sure how many of you have heard this cute rap song by Taylor Swift, a parody of Love Story, by the name of Thug Story.

It was released quite some time ago but I just didn't share it. It is a very cool song in which Swift collaborated with T-Pain for the MTV Music Award (if I got my facts right).

So ya, I realized that Taylor Swift does a pretty cool job rapping. 

Her version was brilliant but I guess I'd like to also share my version, tailored to tell a bit about ...well, my story, although, most parts were just taken from Taylor Swift...muahahaha.

Enjoy.

I’m only 4 feet tall, black hair to the floor,

You shorties never thought I’d dream about rapping hard core

No I ain’t gotta gun,

No I've never really been in a club

Still live with my parents but I’m still a thug

I’m so gangster you will see me always smile in delight

You out clubbing?

But I just watch my TV at night

T-C and T-Swift singing on the same track

It’s a thug story

Tell me can you handle that

I had a dream last night

I had cute pink Nikes

I had diamonds in my mouth

And diamonds on my mic

By the time I woke

I was singing I’m gonna rock the world…oh oh

Cuz I’m a

Lil’ girl turn rapper

(shorty i'm gonna make ya)

Straight to the top yo!

(shorty i'm gonna take ya)

You can T-C now I’m a rap star

(Hey it's a T story now, tell them who you are...

Shorty turn rapper)

Oh you don’t wanna fight me

(She's extra darn short)

In my extra small white T

T-C and T-Swift now on the same track

It's a T story now can you get with that...

What? what? …I have my bolster yo!

What? What? It's call...*beep*

(Oh well, it's call Stylo Mylo)

Lotsa Love

Peace out~ 

YOURS FAITHFULLY

Faithful.................

One word which denotes a concept that many wished that their partner would adhere to.

Faithfully

A song in which I wish to share.

I believe this track has been on the US Top 40 charts for the past few weeks (if I'm not mistaken) due to the popularization by the cast of Glee. I fell in love with the song when I watched Lea Michelle who played Rachel and Cory Monteith who played Finn in Glee marched out of that concert door, first in a very subtle but touching voice before blasting the stereos with their climatic but wonderful rendition of Journey's "Faithfully". The feeling the song gave me, was indescribable for some reason - it definitely created the climatic moment for that particular last episode of Glee.

In the beginning, I love the song because when I listen to it, I feel a connection to the cast of Glee and their journey. Its melody also somehow touches me in a good kind of weird way.

But then after listening to its lyrics, I appreciate the song for its meaning, brilliantly describing a feeling of love that I never had for someone, but then, wished I could feel for someone. 

My take on the song is how a musician describes being loved by a woman and because she sacrificed so much for him, he sort of vowed that he will be forever hers, faithfully.

When I listen to this song, I like to imagine myself as the girl who fell in love with a guy who is a musician and then relate it to how our love is for one another.

Faithfully

Highway run

Into the midnight sun

Wheels go round and round 

You're on my mind

Restless hearts

Sleep alone tonight

Sending all my love along the wire

I love how the first two verses narrate in perfect imagery of a man who is constantly on the road, traveling, but is always thinking about the girl he loves, who is waiting faithfully back home for his next return. At night, the man sleeps alone, unable to physically show his love for the woman he loves, but he does it only through the telephone....

They say the road ain't no place to start a family

Right down the line it's been you and me

And loving a music man ain't always what's supposed to be

Oh girl, you stand by me

I'm forever yours

Faithfully...

Since the man is constantly traveling, the woman perhaps felt that it won't be ideal to have a child grow up without a father who is always there, and thus, sacrificing her rights of being a mother.  

I feel that the man truly felt touched by how the woman is still so loyal to him and would make such difficult decisions, such as to not mother a child, just to be with him.

Circus life

Under the big top world 

We all need the clowns to us smile

Through space and time

Always another show

Wondering where I am 

Lost without you

It's not always fun to be a performer. Imagine being sad but having to still put on that smiling face. And the things that were once done because of passion, has become meaningless repetitions. The man ponders that without the love of the woman, he won't know what purpose he has in the world.

And being part ain't easy on this love affair

Two strangers learn to fall in love again

I get the joy of rediscovering you

Oh girl, you stand by me

I'm forever yours

Faithfully...

I love this verse because I feel that it is very true.

If my husband were a traveling man, every time he comes back after a long time, I guess my love for him would be stronger. We're like strangers who will learn to fall in love again and it'll be like seeing that guy for the first time all over again...and although for some, that might not work out, I guess for this man, he loves the feeling of being able to rediscover the woman he loves again.

For me, I think that would be a beautiful thing too. Sometimes when you are seeing that someone 24-7, you just get so bored and your partner will slowly get on your nerves. But not seeing someone often makes you realize how badly you miss and love that person, strengthening the bond and the love relationships between the couple. 

This is one of my favourite Glee song among the other splendid tunes.

Say what you want about Glee but it is one of the best TV series ever!

I shall leave you with Glee's "Faithfully"...in which I'm faithfully listening to...

P/S: Can't stressed enough that Finn is hot

The full song...

With Lotsa Love,

And Faithfully...

A SONG THAT TOUCHES ME SKIN DEEP

Rascal Flatts never fails to convey beautiful stories through their songs/music.

I'm a big fan of their melodic country style of music, and I am just naturally inclined to their sounds. So for me, it's very hard to not love Rascal Flatt's songs.

There are tonnes of great Rascal Flatts songs which I'd love to share but today I picked this particular one for it reminds me of some of the people I love.

This is one of many songs by Rascal Flatts that melted my heart.

If you have lost someone to cancer, I believe this song will definitely wet your eyes.

Besides the awesome descriptive lyrics, it has a nice touching melody that just gets the best of you.

Skin by Rascal Flatts

Sara Beth

Is scared to death

To hear what the doctor will say

She hasn't been well

Since the day that she fell

And the bruise, it just won't go away

So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad

Flips through an old magazine

Till the nurse with a smile

Stands at the door

And says will you please come with me

Sara Beth

Is scared to death

Cause the doctor just told her the news

Between the red cells and white

Something's not right 

But we're gonna take care of you

Six chances in ten

It won't come back again

With the therapy we're gonna try

It's just been approved

It's the strongest there is

I think we caught it in time

Sara Beth closes her eyes...

She dreams she's dancing

Around and around without any cares

And her very first love is holding her close 

And the soft wind is blowing her hair...

Sara Beth

Is scared to death

As she sits holding her mom

Cause it would be a mistake 

For someone to take a girl with no hair to the prom

For just this morning right there on her pillow

Was the cruelest of any surprise

And she cried when she gathered it all in her hand

The proof that she couldn't deny

Sara Beth closes her eyes...

She dreams she's dancing

Around and around without any cares

And her very first love is holding her close 

And the soft wind is blowing her hair...

It's quarter to seven

That boy's at the door

And her daddy ushers him in

And when he takes off his cap

They all start to cry

Cause this morning where his hair had been

Softly she touches just skin...

And they go dancing

Around and around without any cares

And her very first true love is holding her close

And for a moment she isn't scared....

I love how the words tell a complete story - describing even the red cells and white and her hair falling and how sad it feels to witness for yourself the reality of an illness that is striking you.

The most touching part was when the boy she loves shaved his head just to make her feel better about her losing her hair...

"Skin"

I believe that it is safe to say that almost everyone of us has lost someone to cancer.

I have a few close and distant relatives who lost in their battle with cancer. Cancer changes people's life, not just the one with the illness, but also the lives of people around cancer victims. 

What this song did not describe is the further pain and consequences of cancer, which is far worst than just loosing a couple strands of hair. 

The pain of chemotherapy, the emotional rollercoaster that one has to bear and go through, feeling sick and terrible and weak makes you burst in frustration, perhaps many times, knowing that you have also indirectly hurt the ones you love. I think these are the more painful experiences that a cancer patient and their love ones have to wade through.

Some call fighting cancer a losing battle although there were also those who managed to triumph. But honestly, all the people around me who were diagnosed with cancer, had never champion the battle before.

Thus I really hate cancer and I also fear it. But perhaps to win it, is to not be afraid. As human, doing that is hard because we have too much to lose. We as human do not want to leave our loved ones behind, we do not want to leave our jobs, our lives and so we suffer even more.

I guess the best way to fight cancer is to not feel afraid and that usually can be done when we have love. Just like Sara Beth, when she is in the arms of her first love.

Besides the brilliant song, I also have to credit the music video!!!

Seriously, the music video complements the song and makes it so much better.

I love how still pictures were used to tell the story. This is another great example of how simple things can be made into something beautiful and meaningful.

Check this out.

Hope you like this track. =)

With lotsa Love
