French Series: Je T'aime Mais

So many posts to make so little time! And most songs are in my laptop... but it's gone dunzo.

photo's not of the artist.. I used it cuz I think it's funny haha

Here's for my French Series. But my French's gone rusty... and online translators don't help that much. So it's up to the melody and how words are sung to translate what the song means. It's a sad one I bet. The song's called Je T'aime Mais by Zazie. Funny though that this song is not included in Zazie's Wikipedia page. Really weird. But the friend who told me about this song is a French DJ so who am I to argue. LOL. Anyhoo, here yah go!

One of The Most Beautiful Love Songs

I've been busy with the job hunt and found it impossible to update. Sorry.

Here's a beautiful love song. I don't know from when's this from but it's part of Prom Night's - a 2008 film - soundtrack. It's Your Eyes by Gary King (sorry for the lack of info on this guy). Listen to it... it makes me want to cuddle. Yeah. Just cuddle. That's how lame I am haha.

Life As A Movie

Momentum, please stay. I'm loving this blogging spirit. Stay. Forever.

My friend asked me to feature this: Set My Baby Free by Ian Brown. My friend went, "It's the perfect movie soundtrack," and I agree. She actually made posting this easier cuz our conversation's filled with her idea and here are some of them: and when you listen to it imagine you smoking it's like they're dollying in on you. Very well said, that's exactly how I feel... life feels like a movie while listening to it.

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

I woke up early with a surprisingly good mood... so to share the positivity (despite North Korea was crushed by Portugal) how about a little song with beautiful words. Haha

So I was browsing through the TV when I stumbled upon this really lame looking channel but the music it was currently playing was so good. Don't You Know You're Beautiful by Seabird. It's for those who think their life is a mess... there's someone out there who believes in you. Damn it, that idea's gone cliché since I don't know when. Anyhoo, the song's magic suddenly disappeared come chorus but regains it towards the end. The uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uhh part plus the (almost) whispering first verse was the dope part.

I really wish they pushed through the whispering vibe.

Baghdad Me and The Hitman Joseph

I remember this one time when I found myself at some site where most were raving about this Napoleon song... so I gave looked for it.

And yeah the song's Baghdad Me and The Hitman Joseph. Now I know why everyone's digging this song. It's soul, fun, whimsical, funky, groovy, catchy... I don't know what else. Napoleon is a Swedish band that rocked my world upon discovery.Oh yeah, you can download this song on their site.

This post goes out to my friend who fell in love with the song :)

Facelift: Electrocution

As always, I was in the car when I heard of a song; it pleased my ear. Nada Surf never fails to do that.

Taken from their covers album, If I Had a Hi-Fi, Electrocution (originally by Bill Fox) sends of this sunny-summery vibe perfect for the summer. Blah! It's a keeper!Other songs to rave about in the album are: Janine (Russell cover), You Were So Warm (Dwight Twilley Cover) - it's kinda like Blonde on Blonde fused with Always Love, - and Bright Side (Soft Pack Cover).

This album's sunshine filled. I swear.

Flashback: Porque Te Vas

I remember it was a Sunday... I was watching this Spanish TV show (which I barely understood) where people would take turn to sing a certain song. Then they sang this:

Porque Te Vas by Jeanette. It's an oldie, it was release in the 70's but up to this point in time it sounds relevant. The beat and everything is very perky. The only problem is, I can hardly understand it but I love it. I found a French version of the song too.
