AOTW [37] : The Starting Line
Love the acoustic version of this song by The Starting Line who just recently had a reunion concert in end 2009. They have toured with some of my favourite bands such as Brand New, Fall Out Boys, Boys like Girls, Yellowcard etc – looking forward to hear more from them. This song is almost 8 years old but I would say it’s still radio material ! Enjoy ! (Ignore the first part, song starts at 0:12)
“Best Of Me” – The Starting Line
tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
here we lay again
on two separate beds
riding phone lines
to hear that familiar voice
and pictures brought from memory
we reflect on miscomunication
and misunderstandings
and missing each other two
much too without you, let go
we turn our music down
and we whisper
say what your thinking right now
tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
jumping to conclusions
made me fall away from you
i’m so glad that the truth
has brought back together me and you
we’re sitting on the ground
and we whisper
say what your thinking outloud
tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
we turn our music down
and we whisper
we’re sitting on the ground
and we whisper
we turn our music down
we’re sitting on the ground
and next time i’m in town
we will kiss girl
we will kiss girl
tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont
feeling that we cant
we’re not ready to give up
we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
AOTW [35] : Angels And Airwaves
Usually I’ll try to feature youtube/myspace artists but couldn’t find anyone who covered this song by Angels and Airwaves, so here’s the original artist with one of my favourite song from their 2007 I-Empire album. Catchy beat and of course the ever-catchy line of saying “everything’s magic”. Honestly, I prefer the acoustic version featured below.
What I like about Angels and Airwaves (apart from the fact that it’s lead by Blink 182′s Tom DeLonge) is that their music is inspiring and you can always feel the message behind each song. Their songs somehow grow on you after a few playbacks. Looking forward to see their film ‘Love‘, pretty sure the soundtrack will be awesome !
So down with depressing songs that remind you of the past or dwelling in relationships problems, here’s one to remind you that you still have a purpose in life, give life your best shot, live to the fullest and don’t be afraid to fall in love again.
Angels and Airwaves – Everything’s Magic
And do you ever feel like you’re alone?
And do you ever wish you’d be unknown?
I could say that i have i could say that i have
And do you ever feel things here aren’t right?
And do you ever feel the time slip by?
I can say that i have and i can say that i have
So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything everything’s magic
Just sit back and hold on but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand and i’ll make you mine
Everything everything’s magic
And do you ever lay awake at night?
And do you ever told yourself don’t try
Don’t try to let yourself down don’t try to let yourself down
And do you ever see yourself in love?
And do you ever take a chance my love?
Because you know that i will because you know that i will
So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything everything’s magic
Just sit back and hold on but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand and i’ll make you mine
Everything everything’s magic everything everything’s magic
So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything everything’s magic
Just sit back and hold on but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand and i’ll make you mine
Everything everything’s magic
AOTW [26] : Boyce Avenue
Away from my Ukulele craze for once ! Just last Saturday, my SMUBE seniors Vince and Jasmine got engaged ! I’m so so SO HAPPY for both of them and it’s like a love story with a happy fairytale ending to us juniors who have been there (spying on them) since day 1! (HAHA)
Especially Jasmine, who is my fav BE senior ever (No offense to the rest..haha). Thank You so much for being there for me all the time ! Wish you happiness always and forever and evahh ! Such a gorgeous couple don’t you think ? Congrats !! =)))
I like Chris Brown’s ‘Forever’ alot, especially after watching Jill and Kevin’s wedding march-in to this song. So I’m ‘dedicating’ this post to the newly engaged couple !
Featuring Alejandro Manzano and Fabian Manzano of Boyce Avenue doing an acoustic cover the song =)
Chris Brown – Forever
It’s you and me moving
At the speed of light into eternity yer,
Tonight is the night to join me in the middle of ecstasy.
Feel the melody in the rhythm of the music around you, around you
I’m gonna take you there, I’m gonna take you there
So don’t be scared
I’m right here baby
We can go anywhere, go anywhere
But first it’s your chance,
Take my hand come with me
It’s like I’ve waited my whole life for this one night
It’s gonna be me you and the dance floor
’cause we’ve only got one night
Double your pleasure
Double your fun and dance
Forever (ever, ever)
Forever (ever, ever)
Forever (ever, ever)
Forever girl forever
Forever (ever, ever)
Forever (ever, ever)
Forever (ever, ever)
Forever on the dance floor
Feels like we’re on another level
Feels like our loves intertwined,
We can be two rebels breaking the rules
me and you, you and I
All you got to do is watch me
Look what I can do with my feet
Baby feel the beat inside,
I’m driving you can take the front seat
Just need you to trust me
Oh ah oh
It’s like!
It’s a long way down,
We’re so high off the ground,
Sending for an angel to bring me your heart
Girl, where did you come from?
Got me so undone,
Gazing in your eyes got me singing what a beautiful lady
No “if”s, “and”s or “maybe”s
I’m releasing my heart and it’s feeling amazing
There’s no one else that matters
you love me and I won’t let you fall girl
Let you fall girl oh
Ah ah ye yer
I won’t let you fall, let you fall
Let you fall oh oh
Yer yer
Yer yer
It’s Like!
Oh ah ah ah ah ah
Yer
Forever (ever, ever, ever)
Forever ever ah.
AOTW [20] : AJ Rafael
Discovered AJ Rafael when I was looking for christmas songs on youtube, another young talent I must say.
Currently studying in Berklee College of Music and his first single “I Just Want You” is out on iTunes already.
Pretty cute song ! Especially when it’s played with Ukulele !
I Just Want You – AJ Rafael
Theres something I gotta say to you
But im so afraid of what you’ll doo
OhhhhI’ll just admit this to you now
That Im stuck on you like glue somehowDon’t wanna feel so cold inside
I wanna feel the warmth that I feel with you all the timeSurrounding me just like the wind
Cuz youre the one who makes me singHelp me find myself like how I found you oh
I need you so we can live happily too ohh
I just want youI wanna go out with you tonight
A picnic with candlelight
I might just hold you tightTell me you wanna be my queen
If not its ok a princess seems just my type I promise I’ll be there tonight
I’ll keep you warm in winter’s white
And in the summer walks on beach sound nice
I want you now to talk with on the phone for hours at a time
Baby I just want you to be mine all mineI wanna be ur valentine ur Christmas wish ur pickup line
I wanna be the one who knows about ur friends and foes and the tv shows you love
Look above the stars spell out ur name with an exclamation point at the end of the day ur the one who makes me say
I liked his collaboration with Jane Lui and Gerald Ko “Do you hear what I hear” as well, beautiful voices !
So here’s an additional video for this week’s Artist of the Week ! Merry Christmas !!
