There's no particular reason why Eddie's cute mug found it's way here... *sigh*
I finally succeeded on putting up my playlists on my "official" blog! I could just die right now... or not. I am convinced that Music makes life a bit more bearable for us mortals. I'm a true-blue 90's baby where grunge was born and good music abounds. I have low tolerance for emo-songs and heavy/rap/whatevershit metal as well.
80's Glam Rock was awesome though, I loved everything about it! The hair, the glitters, the attitude, the catsuits and the energy! I lean towards the classics rather than faddish crap that seems to be coming out more and more these days. Honestly, it all sounds the fucking same to me. I took the liberty of listing down my favorite songs of all time because well... this is my blog afterall. Kidding aside, the reason I love these song are not because of the melodies but of the lyrics. In no particular order they are:
Till I Hear It From You
Gin Blossoms
I didn't ask
They shouldn't have told me
At first I'd laugh, but now
It's sinking in fast
Whatever they've sold me
Well baby I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you...
It gets hard
The memory's faded
Who gets what they say
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Well maybe, I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you...
Until I hear it from you...
I can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know, nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you...
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
Till we're talking about it, not stepping around it
Maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you...
I have a soft spot for Gin Blossoms. Catchy melodies and quirky lyrics (Hey Jealousy, Follow You Down) but this song holds a special place because it reminds me so much of my college/dorm days when I would try my best to learn how to play this piece on my guitar and my crush played it for me one fine morning at Radyo Veritas. *sigh*
All Over You
Live
Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused
for being strange...
Our love is no other...
than me alone
for me all day
Our love is like water/angels
pinned down and abused
yeah...
All over you, all over me
the sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold the sea
the sun, the fields, the tide
Lay me now, lay me down
Absolutely addicted in it's simplicity. I've heard this song when I was but a wee little Tina and when I stumbled upon it through a friend (and his trusty hard disk, I might add) I fell inlove with the song all over again.
Hold My Hand
Hootie and The Blowfish
With a little love, and some tenderness
Well walk upon the water
Well rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
Well take the world together
Well take em by the hand
cause Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
Well take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, cause
cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Wont you let me run with you? yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I dont wanna be part of your problems
Dont wanna be part of your crowd, no
cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Ah, wont you let me run with you?
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I...oh...no, no, no, no, no
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can
Oh, the best that I can
The lyrics are just beautiful. I guess I liked it because it it gives you hope to love. It's corny but that's how I see it. If I do get to hook-up with somebody this year, I want this as "our song"! Again, this is an old favorite stemming back to my highschool years. Nobody does it like Hootie and The Blowfish!
With or Without You
U2
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you...
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you...
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live...
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give...
And you give...
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, shes got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give...
And you give...
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live...
With or without you
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live...
With or without you
With or without you
I've always loved U2 more than I love Pearl Jam but not as much as I love Eddie Vedder and his fine ass... what? Oh, this song is an oldie but this is one of those songs you don't get tired of listening over and over again.
I Am Mine
Pearl Jam
The selfish they're all standing in line...
Faith in their hope and to buy themselves time.
Me, I figure as each breath goes by,
I only own my mind.
The north is to south what the clock is to time.
There's east and there's west and there everywhere life.
I know that I was born and I know that I'll die.
The in between is mine. I am mine.
And the meaning's it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence lost at one time...
Significance behind the eyes, theres no need to hide.
Were safe tonight.
The ocean is full cause everyones crying,
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide.
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied.
I only know my mind. I am mine.
And the meaning's it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence lost at one time.
Significance behind the eyes, theres no need to hide...
We're safe tonight.
And the feelings it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time.
Were all different behind the eyes, we may need to hide
And the feelings it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence lost at one time...
We're all different behind the eyes
Were safe tonight.... yeah...
Relatively new track I guess. I made a blog about this song and if I remember it right, I said the song speaks to me. This probably has the most relevant lyrics to me more than the others. Especially the “.. and the feelings it gets left behind...” part. It's just so awesome how Pearl Jam came up with a song so thought-provoking (they always do but well...) it boggles the mind. Raw human emotions, fucking raw...
I wanted to include "She's Out Of My Life" by M.J. and "Cryin" by Aerosmith but I did say favorite songs of all time . God, how dem rocks my boat. I pretty much think Eddie Vedder, Bono and Ed Kowalczyk all have great vocals. Eddie, of course, is the best I think. Not because I have a huge crush on him but because I just love his voice. it's freakishly sexy. Ed is great, awesome in his own right and Bono is Bono, what is there to say that hasn't been said about St. Bono? Good-looking, excellent vocals, commanding stage presense and nice perky ass on that little leather pants he always likes to wear... need I say more?
Enjoy the songs, bitches,
