I personally think Mr. Aslam can't sing but this song has been on my most played list on iTunes for sometime now. Whole new twist on the King's version. Wonder what MJ would have thought..

simple shiny songs that make me smile :)

2010-01-04T22:49:00.000-08:00

we sure are cute for two ugly people
just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
we both have shiny happy fits of rage
i don't see what anyone else can see in anyone else ...but you

One of those songs you put on repeat and sleep to...

Once I wanted to be the greatest
two fists of solid rock
with brains that could explain
any feeling

Lower me down pin me in
Secure the grounds
for the lead and the dregs of my bed
I've been sleeping for the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned deep to dust

ColdWar Kids come up with an awesome idea!

2009-06-06T00:11:00.001-07:00

Remember garageband or fruitloops? We get to mix and match the music and feel like a DJ in the making. Well ColdWar Kids wanted to give us the same experience with their music. And so.. http://www.mtvmusic.com/artist/coldwarkids.jhtml

Absolutely awesome visualizations and effects. You can change tracks and mute or unmute band members. Catch is that yougot less than 3 minutes to do all this. Of course you can replay it as many times as you like. Wished they gave a record option to but I guess thats a bit too much to ask for

Be

2009-04-22T01:20:00.001-07:00

Be, be here, be there, be that, be this
Be grateful for life, be grateful to life
Be gleeful everyday, for being the best swimmer among 500,000
Be-nign, be you, be mom's mean pie, be little black sambo With bad hair
Be aware of what a lynch is, Be, be boundless energy
Be a four star ghetto general, be no one except I
Be a strong academic student, be an A student in sociology
Be food for thought to the growing mind, be the author of your own horoscope
Be invited, be long-living, be forgiving, be not forgetful
Be a proud run, only to return to fight another day
Be peaceful if possible, but justice in ways (?)
Be high when you low, be on time but knowing to go
Be cautious of the road to college, taking a detour through Vietnam or the middle east
Be absent of wars at any past or present fought amongst themselves
Be visual of foreclosure over your shoulder while begging
A nation built on free labor for reparation, Be a cartopogropher
Be a map maker, be able to find afro-american man
search thoroughly it may be close to black man
Be ammended 5/5ths, be ammended 5/5ths human
Be the owner of more land than is set aside for wild life
Be cupid, to world government
Be found among the truth, lost tribe
Be at full strength when walking through the valley
Be not foolish as tender 18 of the mountain tops
Be a brilliant soul, sparkling in the galaxy while walking on earth
Be loved by God as much as God loved Ghandi and Martin Luther King
Be that last one of 144,000, be the resident of that twelfth house
Be....eternal!

listening not hearing

2009-04-06T02:03:00.000-07:00

I was listening to John Mayer's guitar today and it made me give up on something that I've always wanted to...
I think I just want to hear him sing ...not talk...
.... too much disillusionment when I hear him talk...

you'd think that acoustic is easy.. uh-uh

2009-03-25T23:10:00.000-07:00

So you think it's funny
That you keep calling me all of the time
Everyday
Oh honey
Don't want to be following and falling behind
If you're gonna be walking away
And I don't know
Why I wouldn't follow
Wouldn't follow

You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
Stopping the loving getting in

Stopping the loving getting in

Now you say it's easy
That you been falling for all of my charm
And getting lost in my smile
Never ceases to amaze me
When I'm chancing my arm
That I still do it with style
And now I hope
You'll be with me tomorrow
With me tomorrow

You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
Stopping the loving getting in

Stopping the loving getting in

You got me looking up
Even when I'm falling down
You got me crawling out of my skin
You got me wondering why
I am underneath this big old sky
Stopping the loving getting in

"I was a kid that you would like, just a small boy on her bike"

2009-03-09T00:56:00.000-07:00

I won't forget when Peter Pan came to my house, took my hand
I said I was a boy; I'm glad he didn't check.
I learned to fly, I learned to fight
I lived a whole life in one night
We saved each other's lives out on the pirate's deck.

And I remember that night
When I'm leaving a late night with some friends
And I hear somebody tell me it's not safe,
someone should help me
I need to find a nice man to walk me home.

When I was a boy, I scared the pants off of my mom,
Climbed what I could climb upon
And I don't know how I survived,
I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew.

And you can walk me home, but I was a boy, too.

I was a kid that you would like, just a small boy on her bike
Riding topless, yeah, I never cared who saw.
My neighbor come outside to say, "Get your shirt,"
I said "No way, it's the last time I'm not breaking any law."

And now I'm in this clothing store, and the signs say less is more
More that's tight means more to see, more for them, not more for me
That can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat

When I was a boy, See that picture? That was me
Grass-stained shirt and dusty knees
And I know things have gotta change,
They got pills to sell, they've got implants to put in,
they've got implants to remove

But I am not forgetting...that I was a boy too

And like the woods where I would creep, it's a secret I can keep
Except when I'm tired, 'cept when I'm being caught off guard
And I've had a lonesome awful day, the conversation finds its way
To catching fire-flies out in the backyard.

And so I tell the man I'm with about the other life I lived
And I say, "Now you're top gun, I have lost and you have won"
And he says, "Oh no, no, can't you see

When I was a girl, my mom and I we always talked
And I picked flowers everywhere that I walked.
And I could always cry, now even when I'm alone I seldom do
And I have lost some kindness
But I was a girl too.
And you were just like me, and I was just like you"

Dar Williams and her beautiful beautiful words!

I'm falling for the cutie with death cab

2008-12-24T02:12:00.000-08:00

It was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree,
Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.

And I knew I'd made horrible call,
And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
And there was no doubt about which side I was on.

Cause I built you a home in my heart,
With rotten wood, it decayed from the start.

Cause you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.

I braved treacherous streets,
And kids strung out on homemade speed.
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep,
At all, woo, hoo, woo, hooOoOo.

Cause at night the sun in the tree,
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth,
In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.

You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.

And you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.

I'm a war, of head versus heart,
And it's always this way.
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,
Before I know what it will say.

And you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along:

My version - Some day I shall do this with a guitar

2008-12-08T05:53:00.000-08:00

I... am the girl who puts the color inside of his world
I'm just like a maze... where all of the walls are continually changed
and he's done all he can... to stand on my steps with his heart in his hands
and now he's started to see that maybe its got nothing at all to do with him

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

oooh you see this skin?
it's the same I've been standing in
Since the day I saw him walking away
now I'm left cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break..you find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong ..they'll soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

An advice to every man ...looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.

Flowers in my hair (hey)
Little bitty hearts upon my cheek
Baby, you'll be on my mind
'till I kiss you next time

Plan to go somewhere
away from here

and when you do
I hope you map me in

map me in to your plans
map me in to your thoughts
map me in to your dreams

remember i cant ride a bike
or a car
and i hate snakes
and trekking isn't exactly my thing
and i might ask you to carry me around
but still...

I hope you map me in

Alana who?

2008-06-14T06:31:00.000-07:00

Do you have an 'anger-moment' song? You know that song you listen to alone in your room and may be even sing out loud when you feel angry, frustrated or irritable or cranky. Well i have a bunch but the earliest I can remember is You oughta know. It's such a release to listen/sing/scream that song loud.

Thank you shows how much of an awesome lyricist Alanis is.
You learn is another such song.. damn! even humming that song makes me smile!

I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time... feel free
Throw it down.. the caution blocks you from the wind
Hold it up.. to the rays
You wait and see when the smoke clears

I loved her even more when she made that extremely hilarious cover of My Humps. Brings out the irony oh so subtly!

There are so many other songs that have the most inspiring lyrics and visually appealing (at least to me!) videos - like precious illusions, Everything,

One hand in my pocket

And one song that everyone has to give a listen, understand and see (in case you haven't already) is so pure...

Yep! this woman can do just about anything!

So! if you've grown up listening to avril lavigne or kelly clarkson or fergie (big girls dont cry! oh no!) and saying 'alana who??' right now... be sure to try out her new album flavors of entanglement

"I want you not to go..."

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.

There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It's easy.

There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.

I'll work for nothing less.

Damn you for accepting my immaturity
when I scream for silence
child, I'll work for nothing less.

I need patience, and someone strong enough to hold my breath for me until the smoke clears.

I need patience, and time to think before I speak, for when I'm short of breath, I tend to lie.

So legend has it that Rihanna was a copy of Beyonce and Jordin Sparks came right our of Rihanna.

ok.. hold on! why am I being Simon? :| ok I take that back... that was plain mean. Jordin Sparks is truly talented. She is. I give her that... totally! I mean she won AI at 17 man... of course she's good. But you know what bothers me, the fact that she is being vaccumed in into this popish-hiphop-glamgirl-dancelikecrazy-makefancyvideos frenzy. I just hope she tries something different - different genres- Soul may be or Jazz.

Ok so the album - This is My Now - I was really excited when I got the album but was hoping and wanting to listen more... after the first four or five... I gave up. Tattoo - the famous single is famous for a reason. No Air was a smart collab (bask a little in the glory of Chris Brown's popularity) very smart! Freeze is a personal favorite. 'Next to you' is also easy on the ears (read minimalistic use of high pitch) and oh! God likes Ugly has some good lines.

so yeah, the girl's talented. Can cut her some slack its her first attempt. I dont have too much in AIs somehow :| dunno why!

When I was 15, Britney Spears was 17 and she released her first single, Hit me baby one more time. I was so inspired I told myself I'll make her my idol. Of course, before I did, Christina came along ;)

Blackout
It's Britney Bitch! ..and that's how the album begins. If you haven't bought this album, trust me, you aren't missing too much. It's like one of those trance dance numbers that you probably already have on your rack. With a touch of pop and hip-hop here and there and of course there's Britney's voice in it, but does it matter?!

Personally, the only songs that are worth a listen are Gimme more, Piece of me and why should I be sad which are also probably the only ones that'll see the light of TV. Te rest of them sound like they should be the Soundtrack for a porn movie.

Piece of me is probably her most honest song to date. If they ever do decide to make a video, they should really consider puttin in actual footage rather than dressing up her like a little doll and make her dance.

Time management koi bhi Britney Spears se seekh. Girl! with so much happening in your life, when did you have the time to write music?? and didn't you say you were gonna quit??

Yep! this is my new "personal" blog and by personal I mean something that I own, will update often, and will take care of for a considerable period of time. :D

So, I plan to list out my music here - music I like, music I find interesting, music I think you might find interesting. Music that's in...music thats out....ermm... you get the picture!

Why not use the same blog, you say? well.. I realized that since music is such a huge part of my life, I should have a separate blog for music! Besides... putting video on my other blog can screw up it's formatting bigtime :P

Anyways, so here's what you can expect:

- Great.... ok lets not set expectations.... tolerably good music :)
- and some funky webdesign. You see I am a beginner on HTML and AJAX so I plan to work all of that on this template... so you can expect a completely personalized blog skin on this one.... yayee :D
- and as always! my amazing audience.... YOU! hehe yea yea I can pump up ppl nice and high :D

and remember there ain' t no 'g' in musically speakin :D
