Music and Life
Decided to give my blog a more simple look and finally change the ridiculous name for my blog site.
Don't ask me why, it was a spur of the moment.
Anyway, what Im not going to do is to delete my previous blog posts.
All of them had just shown how far Ive came.
Its sad yet endearing at the same time.
And I can go back to recall some funny moments back at high school.
What came across to my notice was how music played a part of my life.
Recently i only felt that its presence was just getting stronger. It was an outlet for me
I realized that although i suck at piano, I still had a good ear to appreciate music when it comes along my way. Grateful for that.
I was at despair for a moment when I accidentally deleted the 300+ songs in my phone.
But probably its a blessing at disguise because it prompts me to explore and listen more.
My phone is filled with English songs at the moment, although Chinese and Cantopop still holds a dear place in my heart.
Probably its because I grew up with it, so I did not see the need to download it in my phone. I can belt out a Jay Chou song any time when Im at the karaoke.
But English songs I find more intriguing.
Considering its not my first language, I usually find myself repeating the song several times to understand whatever beauty and pain that is behind the lyrics.
I enjoy any kind of music that is offered, be it pop, soul, funk, R&B, rock (i realised I LOVE 70s,80s,90s rock music), alternative, indie etc.
Music is universal and language barriers are non existent as long as you feel it.
Recently one of my uni friend came to me for song recommendations. Im definitely happy to share my discovery on these gems, some are just timeless.
Due to my restricted knowledge on the genres, I had to Google it to make sure I don't write the wrong stuff.
Some of the songs that I had to download in my phone recently as I continue to rebuild and expand my music playlist
1) Unsteady- X Ambassadors (Alternative/Indie)
2) Fast Car- Tracy Chapman (i also like Boyce Avenue's cover of the song)
(Folk Rock;Pop;Folk)
3) Tightrope- Janelle Monae
(Funk, Soul)
4) Better Man- Little Big Town (imagine my surprise when I discovered Taylor Swift wrote this song)
(Country)
5) Here I Go Again- Whitesnake
(Hard Rock)
6) Sure Thing- Miguel
(R&B, Soul)
7) Lose Yourself- Eminem
(Hip Hop, Rap Rock)
8) What Kind of Man- Florence and the Machine
(Alternative/Indie)
9) Losing my Religion- R.E.M
(Rock, Country)
10) Tiny Dancer- Elton John
(Pop)
Have a good week ahead!
