Day 19 is the first song alphabetically in my iPod/iTunes.
Since the iPod is far more accessible for me right now, here it is. (I like that this day is quite a no brainer.)
First on my playlist is Counting Crows.
Who doesn’t love that song?
I remember hearing this song while I was still in Convergys. I really like this song and then Dylan just started singing it out loud, and I realized that he has all the lyrics down. Hahahaha.
I remember hearing this song when I was much much younger. I was still living in Manila then and at that time, MTV still shows music videos. I really liked her song, and her shoes. It’s a wedge with some intricate detailing on it. Too bad, I was never really able to find out more about that shoe. I would’ve bought it in a heartbeat.
If your hope scatters like the dust across your track, I’ll be the moon that shines on your path.
I hate myself for missing the last four days of this challenge. Be ready because I am so making up for it right now!
Day 17 is a song that makes me want to dance.
Mind you, I don’t dance. I never dance. I hardly dance. Dance makes me itchy. Dance makes me iffy. Dance pains me, and I don’t dance. I once threatened a coworker (and a superior at that!) actual physical harm just because he wanted me to join this dance thing here in the office. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no. I do not dance.
The only instance I remember dancing was when Dylan bravely pulled me to my feet and started dancing with me. I can’t not dance with him. It’s Dylan.
I have to admit though, this song kinda makes me wish I dance more.
I know this will seem like a cliche now, but if I happen to post this say, a couple of years ago, I would’ve appeared unique. I have loved Adele since Hometown Glory and Chasing Pavements. Sometimes, I find her fame annoying. All of a sudden, everyone is coming up with a cover of an Adele song and everyone keeps listening to it and the jeepneys kept playing her song, and videoke bars keep having bad singers give their own rendition… I miss loving and adoring and admiring Adele like a guarded secret.
But brilliance and sheer talent cannot be contained. I just have to live with it. When she first released 21, I didn’t immediately gravitate towards Rolling in the Deep. It was her Brit Awards performance that just brought me to tears. I know I posted this before but what the heck? Let’s post it again.
I would like to still believe that this is our generation’s I Will Always Love You.
Actually, I had a song in mind before this post even started, but I am kind of saving that one for a particular moment, so there. Hahahaha. But I cannot deny the fact that I always sing this out loud whenever it plays on my iPod. Even if I’m walking along the street. Even when I am seated in my office cubicle. Yes. Out loud. Every time.
Breathe out so I could breathe you in, hold you in
Ah, David Grohl. You can just growl forever. Hahaha. <3
