this is going to be another one of my random themed post...
was in the store yesterday with alvin, when he asked me to intro him some new songs so that he can set is ringtone to.. he has like 3 ringtones... which we've all heard till we're bored to death.. esp when it rings 'romeo tkae me somewhere we can be alone' for his gf. ' her eyes.. her eyes.. make the stars look like they're not shiny' for everyone.. and 'just gonna stand there and watch me burn' rihanna shrieks out that version as it is of low quality. oki.. so i threw up some songs... he wants poppy.. new...hip.. i realise that i'm unable to do so.. i've been listening to old songs more frequently than the new ones... oki the new ones are not that bad.. like pink's perfect or britney's hold it against me.. but pretty much.. so~so.. it set me thinking.
guessed the theme yet?
haha today's theme is music and lyrics! :)
what you first hear a song.. does the lyrics attract you or the music or no comments?
hmm.. i guess for me it depends.. it'll start off with the intro.. something like the prologue of a book. or the synopsis at the back.
for songs like...just a dream (cover) or no cover, what are words, pretty boy, i hate this part, i'll back of so you can live better, when you're gone...etc these are the songs that attract me through the starting.. cause they're either impactful.. like i'll back off so you can live better. or PIANO MELODIES :D like what are words, when you're gone, just a dream (cover) it all depends.
when they are able to attract you... with the right frequency. cause every melody has this special frequency/sound wave that makes it pleasant to your ear.. you'll focus more on the lyrics. and when you like them. woah! the song becomes the most played one on your mp3/4 itouch/phone/pod or handphone. yupyup.
let's take a look at lyrics now.. cause i'm unable to type out the melody here haha :)
oki pink's perfect (there's a vulgar version but -.- you know me)
'pretty pretty please.. don't you
ever ever feel.. like you're less than, less than perfect
pretty pretty please.. if you
ever ever feel.. lilke you're nothing.. you are perfect.. to me'
or chris medina's what are words
'what are words if you really don't mean them when you say them
what are words if they'r eonly for good times then they don't
when its love yea you say them out loud. those words
they never go away. they live on even when we're gone.'
or britney's hold it against me
'if i say my heart was beating loud,
if we could escape the crowd somehow
if i say i want your body now,
would you hold it against me?'
they are all very repetitive. but it get one hook on it.
some songs describe emotions.. that's why people are able to relate to them and like them.
avril's when you're gone
'when you're gone the pieces of my heart are missing you
when you're gone the face i came to know is missing to
when you're gone the words i need to hear.. to always get me through the day.. and make it oki,
i miss you'
or lady antebellum's need you now
'its a quarter after one, i'm a little drunk and i need you now
said i wouldn't call, but i'm a little drunk and i need you now.
and i don't know how i can do without, but i just need you now.'
or hilary's come clean
'let the rain fall down and wake my dreams
let it wash away my insanity
cause i want to hear the thunder i want to scream.
let the rain fall down'
or just simple tuned songs like disney's a dream is a wish your heart makes
'a dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're feeling small
alone in the night you whisper, thinking no one can hear you at all.'
haha.. chinese songs are special too :) cause evety single word they use.. are able to evoke the emotions they want listeners to feel. the words used to depict a situation is like no other as well.
happy song gives you strength. like guo jing' xin qiang lol. used to be my fav song in jc.. sang it like everyday :P or... one song that is very direct and harsh is hebe's wo ji mo ji mo jiu hao. the lyrics are very down to earth and she sings it like she's really going through the pain. lin you jia's shuo huang is good as well. very convincing :) there's also ding dang's leng xue dong wu. yup. her personification of love is good:
我翻了又翻你给的地图
却一直找不到我的归宿
也许开始太仓促才迷了路
我没有结果的结果盲目
我等了又等不见的幸福
却永远只是你一根肋骨
我终于恍然大悟不再相诉
只怪自己爱上的是一个冷血动物
haha. love as a map.. a direction yet when you lose it.. you lose everything. :) nice way of seeing things :)
oh oh!!! grenade is another song that amuses me because of the lyrics.. at first i didn't find the song nice.. but when i listened and found out about the lyrics haha.. i got hooked :)
'Black, black, black and blue
Beat me till I'm am numb tell the devil I said hey when you get back to where you're from.
Bad women bad women
That's just what you are yeah
You smile in my face than rip the breaks out my car.
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash,
You tossed it in the trash yes you did.
To give me all your love is all I ever asked but
What you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya.
Throw my hand on the blade for ya,
Id jump in front of a train for ya.
You know I'd do anything for ya.
Ohhh I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain.
Yes I would die for ya baby.
But you won't do the same.
If my body was on fire
Ooh you would watch me burn down in flames.
You said you loved me you're a liar cause you never ever ever did baby...'
the second verse is really nice and perverse haha :) but its nice.. hmm..
lyrics and music really do have to go together.. complement each other. there's so many nice songs that even one blog post won't be able to hold.or list. but anyways.. i guess.. i still cannot decide if i'm a lyrics or music person :P but.. think both i guess :) you need the music to catch mine attention before the lyrics can come in. yeah. :) haha xD
have to remember to remind alvin to punch in his card -.-
had a looooong talk with wendy yesterday!! uber cool haha i kept high fiving with him. lol :)
hmm.. oki.. better get ready for work.. i guess...
my mood.. is just -.- today. haha
=do something right=
