aftermath of B&S

Happy Belated Birthday Yiyang!
Me: Hey Yiyang, happy birthday.... wishing you not just a year older but a year better...
Him: wise words huh... lol.
Him: okay it's my birthday and i wish that..........EVERYONE GETS A DAY OFF TODAY! oh guess what? my wish came true :D

So i've got a day off from ECON on Monday, and since stat has ended, i had today (tue) off as well.. and i've been... studying! LOL. Credits to Tiffany. She went "it's just another 4 months to exams". I tried to forget what she had said...

Rediscovering the classics: Moulin Rouge and Chicago.....


Explored further into Belle & Sebastian (credits to joshua!)
They are my new favourites!
Please try the album: The Life Pursuit
The songs give a very weekend-chillout feel, those kindof songs Class95fm always play....
Disclaimer: Such happy songs causes hallucinations. I start to see yellow, pink and neon green flowers swaying in the wind with butterflies fluttering their wings and yellow birds chirping on trees. And before you know it, you start to hum the songs, smile like an idiot and dance around your room. The very next thing that is going to happen, you will start to buy yellow-neon pink-green things and ADORE your pink room.

Random Ramblings
hadnt been thinking very deeply these days. Maybe i've finally learnt to relish small pleasures in life. Or maybe, it's just effects of prolonged blasting of B&S on lappy. I dont really know. I had never liked my pink room (though some of my friends had gone ra-rahhh about it). And most importantly, i had never liked happy songs. So, whats really happening? I cant believe that I've a sudden thought of ditching metal songs for B&S kindof songs. (P.S. Sz would prolly kill his proud apprentice (yours truly) if he hears this. Lol.)

psychedelicos

Yesterday was eventful :)
and we had been happy kids.

Joshua was funny...
Joshua - "have you heard about Belle and Sebastian?"
Me - "erm no, y?"
Joshua - "ohh, they have a very nice song"
Me - " OH, you were talking about a band... i was still thinking who was Belle (since Sebas was our common friend)"
LOL

Try: Belle and Sebastian's Funny Like A Frog, Seeing Other People.
They are happy songs, so dont worry...

Just as i thought i can run away from the doc's appt.
randy smsed to ask/ remind/ insist about it.
*sigh*

Listening to the unexpected *drumroll*... Scorpions~
Try: Holiday, No One Like You, Wind of Change....

Rediscovering The Nightmare Before Christmas OST

Rediscovering...





# Fiona Apple - Sally's Song
I was drawn to this coarse version of Sally's Song (as compared to the original version by Catherine O'Hara) It doubled the original dosage of melancholy and loneliness. But somehow the Sally's face didnt quite suit the coarse vocals (in the mv) and the song has yet reached the stage of melancholia. Lol. But still, ALLURING~

# Marilyn Manson - This is Halloween
Do not watch the Marilyn Manson's live in LA This is Halloween version. i dont see why the band can remember playing the song but he cant remember the lyrics. Utterly disappointing though i wasnt much of his fan. Airing the displeasure on Danny Elfman's behalf. Lol. This version is pretty much alluring too.

There are other songs in this limited edition album.
# Fall Out Boy did the song "What's This?"
# She Wants Revenge did the song "Kidnap the Sandy Claws"
# Panic! At the Disco did the song "This is Halloween" - I liked the opening and the clean and delicate vocals. Added much flavour to further dramatise the song. Operatically alluring.
# Demo Versions by Danny Elfman

...

new favourites:
Theatre of Tragedy - Dying I only feel apath
Tenhi - Hallavedet (The Glacial Waters)

Go Alternative

Credits to Kokwey, this song is goodd.
for the 5th time,
What Hurts The Most - Cascada/ Rascal Flatts.
I liked the Rascal Flatts's version better
aww.

The lyrics went like this.

What Hurts The Most - Rascal Flatts
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

*Chorus
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder, getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

*Chorus*
*and some other repeats*

Tuning in to...
Richard Ashcroft - Break The Night With Colors
Theatre of Tragedy - Mire
Theatre of Tragedy - A Hamlet For A Slothful Vassal
Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Dream Theatre - Hollow Years
Cradle of Filth - Mr Crowley
and of course - Rascal Flatts - What Hurts The Most
