Muzak

From the dictionary.reference.com, the definition for 

Muzak (ˈmjuːzæk)

- n

trademark  recorded light music played in shops, restaurants, factories, etc, to entertain, increase sales or production, etc.

so i suppose the piece of music, or rather muzak, which i am about to share here does exactly that - which is entertain and perhaps, on some deeper level (stretching a bit here), it does make you want to get up and do MORE.

like seriously.

not necessarily by boosting your productivity, but by boosting your energy by getting you out of your funk.

well, it's a start, kan?

thus, i hope you will enjoy this piece of muzak, as much as i do (although i think i'd get tired of it soon). it doesnt require any soulful interpretation or make you weep - although i must warn you that the vid is a tad dodgy, bordering on soft p*rn *wink*- it just makes you want to get up and do the jiggy.

jiggy? i'm OLD.

speaking of old, i just realised that my father likes this kinda music. and i wonder if one's taste of music would change when one gets older?

OMG. i'm turning into my DAD.

Somewhere Only We Know

jaded and confused. long lost and unrequited loves. longing for old times. restoring hope and faith. wanting to believe again.

a perfect song for all these.

the lyrical companion:

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?

Oh, this could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know

listen to this song and wait for my next post

the IT song

playing this song on repeat mode.

such a macabre song that appeals to my at times dark nature.

hope you enjoy this piece of music as much as i do. crank up the volume while you're at it. your other half will want to kill himself surely, in the process. :)

Adele is the 21st century Alanis Morrisette.

for you, young kiddos, if you do not know who Alanis is, please do Google her up.

Marry Me

wow... i am indeed on a blogging roll.

i know i've posted this on my FB, but i love this song so much that i thought of posting it here. 

this song was played at the wedding last Sunday - as the usual montage came in, depicting how in lurveeee the newly weds are.

(if you think there's a tint of jaded realism in the sentence above, you are just imagining it... teehee)

so without further ado, enjoy the song....by the ever chameleonic Train. and if you are an unadulterated, incurable romantic like i am, you will go aaaahhhhh at the end of it.

feel good ain't it? :)

now, go watch/listen to it again and sing it this time around with the lyrics below.

Forever could never be long enough for me
Feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now, we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way

Marry me, today and everyday
Marry me, if I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe
Say you will, hmm
Say you will, hmm

Together could never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words, "I love you", and "You're beautiful"

Now that the wait is over
Love has finally showed her my way

Marry me, today and everyday
Marry me, if I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe
Say you will, hmm
Say you will, hmm

Promise me, you'll always be
Happy by my side
I'll promise to sing to you
When all the music dies

And marry me, today and everyday
Marry me, if I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe
Say you will, hmm
Say you will, hmm
Marry me, hmm




PS: although i did find the waitress in the video to be rather cheesily portrayed in too short a dress and over processed hair. :P
