Sundays are Music Days 12

Let me share my musical promiscuity on Sundays.
Sundays are music days.

It's been awhile.
I could give you a million excuses why I stopped, but they wouldn't make up for the absence,
so I'll just tell you I'm back and hope you enjoy this week's list.

What are these lists? Concept (and first list) is explained here.
My previous sunday lists: 2 , 3 , 4, 5,  6.
 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

Same rules, no judgments, no genre, no limits, just music I tune the world out to. :)


1. So I woke up to a cool December morning, it felt awesome,
until I remembered I have an exam EVERY monday.
Still, I can't deny it felt great, so here's a song that'll keep the GV going.
Maroon 5's Sunday Morning


 

2. A friend introduced me to this song, (thank you Mimi) 
and its sooooo sad and mmmm at the same time.
I often wonder when you become so much of a mess that its not worth it anymore,
this song has that hopeful feeling that you'll always be worth it to someone out there.
it's still sad though that you have to be a mess. :(
Gotye's Hearts a Mess


3. This song is so cute, it just makes you sway and be all lovey-dovey,
"They say you're like a Monday morning,
but I say you're like a Friday night."
But I like its whole strength chorus.
"This heart's a stone, no one will ever break it."
Acid House King's This Heart is a Stone

 

4. So I've been stocking up on christmas songs and found this in the Love Actually soundtrack,
personally, I like the 1970's original by Joni Mitchell (here)
but this video is better, and it has a good-looking man.
"I've looked at clouds, love, life from both sides now
 from win or lose, and still somehow
it's cloud's, love's, life's illusions I recall,
I really don't know clouds, love, life at all."
Hayley Westenra's Both Sides Now, a Joni Mitchell remake


5. Okay I had a very difficult time looking for this song, so I hope it is appreciated!
So the video is a lil crazy and fan-made, but it adds to the charm of the song. haha
But appreciate both separately (the song + the cuhrazy video).
"...but because it's real doesn't mean its going to work."
The Blow's True Affection


I didn't realize I missed this. haha
Yes, it takes a little of my study time, but it sure makes me happy,
and its a little contemplation time.
Sorry if the songs are a bit slow, dancing hiphop joanie is still asleep. haha
Off to study now. :)

XOXO,
Joanie

Sundays are Music Days 5

Let me share my musical promiscuity on Sundays.
Sundays are music days.

After watching crazy-stupid-love, I decided to theme this sunday's song list all about love which was appropriate coz I caught myself just listening to love songs (but really, all songs are love songs in their own way) so it was relatively easy.

BUT by the middle of the week, my fickleness kicked in and i lost interest in the whole love theme and fell for other feel good songs. But that was the point of all this, my promiscuous musical taste.

What are these lists? Concept (and first list) is explained here.
My previous sunday lists: 2 , 3 , 4.

Same rules, no judgments, no genre, no limits, just music I tune the world out to. :)

1. This is what love should be about -- at least for me. Fun. Sweet. No hassle. Seemingly random, but there are deeper connections there that outsiders wouldn't really understand. And well, simply put,
puts a smile on your face. Here's I love you 5 by Never Shout Never


2. "She's got moves like Barracuda and she's really funny and she's hoping for love. It can be a wonderful thing."
Is this song for me?! hahaha. Majority of my song choice comes from the fact that I can relate to the lyrics.
But this song has both lyrics and beat. It's Love by Foster the People


3. I chose a live video for this next one because Adele is one of those artists that sound the same on record and live
-- which makes me love her more. Also, saves me the trouble of introducing the original artist for this song -- Steel Drivers.
Here's If it hadn't been for love by Adele


4. Okay, so I said love was the theme. BUT by midweek, I lost interest in love (yes, im fickle like that).
And I fell ABSOLUTELY in love with this next song. And the video -- omg the video!
I never really got the whole appeal of musicians before, but Adam Levine is just wayyyy too divine.... im absolutely hooked to the Voice now. Oh just give it a listen, and Im sure you'll get the song stuck in ya head!
Move Like Jagger by Maroon 5 feat. Cristina Aguilera


5. okay so this one a lil to do with love, the raw, heart-wrenching kind -- unrequited love.
The original by Kanye west is good, he may have been a douche, but Kanye really knows his music.


Anyways, that isnt the one that was stop-the-tracks amuhzing.
It's Dia Frampton's version (during her performance in the Voice) that really caught my ear.
Seriously. To anyone who has at one point felt that he/she could've given the RIGHT love to the WRONG person only to have that person throw it back at you, fight back by listening to this.

Enjoy,
Joanie
