Ryan Adams - Wonderwall

All the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe... you're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all... you're my wonderwall

edit: i reallyreallycannot stop listening to this song. reasons for this would be (1) i'm learning it on the guitar :D (2) i keep flashing back to the seth/summer scene in season 1 (3) it's so damn beautiful yo

I've lost my blogging mojo for the moment--I think that until I figure out how to act with a little more care and consideration, this will become a boring music blog. Hopefully 2009 will be filled with fewer words and overcomplications, more singing.

These are the top 15 songs (and play counts) on my iTunes playlist. Observations: The only new entries since 2007 are #4/11/13. Ben Folds is strangely not on this list. This is heavily Grey's-influenced. #1 has unwaveringly retained its place at the top ever since I discovered it freshman year even though I could swear I never listen to it any more. Yay Umbrellas! Companion on late nights with bright screens--you're so lovably emo.

Just like ships, we float through each other's lives
Through the waters of beauty and grace
We will one day dock at the same port
And give rest to our weary legs
There is a light placed up in the sky
Like the stained glass, time slows down
I wish I could sleep, I wish I could dream
I love the sound of my feet against these empty streets
I saw the whole town burn down
I'm walking away
Nothing stays, these feelings have wings
Our arms outstretched, we are soaring

Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days

And you asked me what I want this year
and I try to make this kind and clear
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
'cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
and designer love and empty things
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words and sing out loud
'cause everyone is forgiven now
'cause tonight's the night the world begins again

Sia - Soon We'll Be Found

So come along, it wont be long
'Til we return happy
Shut your eyes, there are no lies
In this world we call sleep
Let’s desert this day of hurt
Tomorrow we’ll be free

Oasis - Live Forever

I am seriously re-obsessed with this song. Trying to learn a lot of Oasis songs on the guitar because I wanna be like Musical Cousin or CS-TA-in-NZ or the fabulous, godly Liam Gallagher.
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Mae - Breakdown

An old song I really like...

Adele - Chasing Pavements

I'm home!

As Tall As Lions - Ghost of York

FruiTunes: created by my former DMD-mentor-Penn-alum-Apple-employee Eric Fisher. Tis awesome especially since New Zealand is Pandoraless. Here's mine

Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love?

This version of How Deep Is Your Love hits the nougaty soft center of my heart, where reside awkward first dances and one-eyed push toys and watching my parents hug.

Other covers include David Choi (Starbucks-y) and The Bird and the Bee (which is Birdandthebee-y. There's no other way to describe it.)

----

Some of my other favorite covers, coz my brother and I were talking about it yesterday. In my opinion the second ones are more worth clicking.. except for the Weezer/Mozella one

- Roxanne: original (The Police); cover (Moulin Rouge)
- Comfortably Numb: original (Pink Floyd); cover (Scissor Sisters)
- Bitches Ain't Shit: original (Dr. Dre); cover (Ben Folds)
- Umbrella: original (Rihanna); cover (Marie Digby)
- Hallelujah: original (Leonard Cohen); cover (Jeff Buckley)
- Say It Ain't So: original (Weezer); cover (Mozella)

Haha um... I'm just going to keep telling myself people are affected by my obsessive music posts T_T and get back to work

Bandeya Ho (from Khuda Kay Liye)

Sagar sent this to me... my god I am beyond obsessed with this song and I can only understand five words of it :] haha... now to study for the exam in one hour then crammamamam for the two final projects due tomorrow haih

Longer & slower version of this can be found here.

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle

Best song ever! Ohhhh the CTY days of human tunnels and waving pants and 8-minute slow dances (or lack thereof) and American Pie and hiding from boys behind trash cans <3

Death Cab for Cutie - A Lack of Color

And when I see you, I really see you upside-down.

Estelle feat. Kanye West - American Boy

I love you all (and I'm not just saying that because I'm running on a Speight's and Cadbury high) =) Haha my flatmates and I did a $14 tour this afternoon. Beer and chocolate are surprisingly good together. And in a truly asian gesture, I stuffed my pockets with the free samples as we were leaving! I was never a fan of white chocolate but Cadbury Dream lives up to its name.

Estelle feat. Kanye West - American Boy (I'm utterly obsessed with this song, it plays in my head morning, noon, and night...)
