Music Friday: Beautiful Girl

Song Title: Beautiful Girl

Artist: Jose Mari Chan

 Lyrics :

Beautiful girl, 

wherever you are

I knew when I saw you,

 you had opened the door

I knew that I'd love again 

after a long, long while

I'd love again.

You said "hello" and I turned to go

But something in your eyes left my heart beating so

I just knew that I'd love again after a long, long while

I'd love again.

Refrain : 

It was destiny's game

For when love finally came on

I rushed in line only to find

That you were gone.

Whenever you are, 

I fear that I might

Have lost you forever like a song in the night

Now that I've loved again after a long, long while

I've loved again.

Beautiful girl, I'll search on for you'

Til all of your loveliness in my arms come true

You've made me love again after a long, long while

In love again

And I'm glad that it's you

Hmm, beautiful girl.

As you can see, by the looks of the MV, this is an old song (those were the days when the MV's are simple, with just artists singing the songs and not much in the background) and it's one of my favorite OPM (Original Pilipino/Pinoy Music.  Jose Mari Chan is an icon in the Pinoy Music Industry.I love the coolness of his voice. And i love the MV. The women in the MV can still be seen today as singers, actress and/or politician.

Here's a newer version of it sang by another OPM artist Christian Bautista (Love the girls!)

Yes, you can say I'm promoting OPM here. I'm a proud Pinoy and I support OPM  artists. 

Music Friday

I just can't get enough of this song. I am not even a fan of country music but got addicted to it suddenly. This is not new and most of you maybe knows this song, so let's just with it together!

ARTIST: LADY ANTEBELLUM

SONG TITLE: NEED YOU NOW

ALBUM: NEED YOU NOW

Need You Now Lyrics

Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone ’cause
I can’t fight it anymore

And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I’ve lost all control
And I need you now

And I don’t know how
I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey
Can’t stop looking at the door
Wishing you’d come sweeping
In the way you did before

And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m a little drunk
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I’ve lost all control
And I need you now

And I don’t know how
I can do without
I just need you now

Whoa, whoa
Guess I’d rather hurt
Than feel nothing at all

It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone
And I need you now
And I said I wouldn’t call
But I’m a little drunk
And I need you now

And I don’t know how
I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now

Oh baby, I need you now

Music Friday

Have i mentioned how much i love bands with female lead vocals before?

The song for today's Music Friday comes from  The Dutch band EPICA

I love  Simone Simons' voice and she has the one of  most beautiful face I've seen! 

I'am inlove with her! 

Whenever i look at her, she reminds me of Cat Crawfield of Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost. She can actually be in a book cover!

                                                What do you think?

This song reminds me when Sookie's grandma died in the 1st season of TRUE BLOOD.

And when Buffy's mom died!

Song Title: Memory

Lyrics:

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory?

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight

The withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

Memory, all alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

Life was beautiful then

I remember

The time I knew what happiness is

Let the memory live again

Every street lamp

Seems to beat

A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters

And a street lamp gutters

And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I mustn't give in

When the dawn comes

Tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days

The stale cold smell of morning

The street lamp dies

Another night is over

Another day is dawning

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me

All alone with my memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me

You'll understand what happiness is

Look a new day has begun...

Music Friday # 2: Phantom of the Opera by Nightwish

For today's Music Friday, let me introduce one of my favorite band,

Nightwish

I am such a huge fan of the old Nightwish. I like to say old because it was the time when their lead vocal was Taja Turunen( who was dismissed sometime in 2005). I liked her  soprano voice better than Anette Olzon's preppy, pop voice.

And here's one of my fav song from them....The live performance of Phantom of the Opera! Gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to it, especially near the end of the song!!!

ALL RISE!

The Phantom Of The Opera Lyrics

In sleep he sang to me - In dreams he came

That voice which calls to me - And speaks my name

And do I dream again - For now I find

The Phantom of the opera is there - Inside my mind

Sing once again with me 

Our strange duet

My power over you - Grows stronger yet

And though you turn from me - To glance behind

The Phantom of the opera is there - Inside your mind

Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear - I am the mask you wear

It's me they hear

Your spirit and my voice

In one combined 

The phantom of the opera is there - Inside your mind

Opera- Beware - Phantom of the opera

In all your fantasies 

You always knew - That man and mystery

Were both in you

And in this labyrinth - Where night is blind

The phantom of the opera is there - Inside your mind

Marco - Sing my angel of music

**Finale - the good stuff**

 

Music Friday! #1 (11/25)

One thing about me besides carrying book anywhere i go is that i love music.
I usually fall in love with music has nice lyrics and good  symphony, even though it has nothing to do with the state I'm currently in. Falling inlove with a song just because.. :)

When i hear a song i'm not familiar with, i listen very hard, trying to get what it means, and if i liked it, i search for it.

I must admit, i haven't been updated with the latest songs right now because I've been busy with personal stuffs and reading. But i will share some songs and the bands that i really like from now on , and whatever's in my music playlist.

TITLE: All I Need

BAND: Within Temptation

ALBUM:"The Heart Of Everything"

Favorite Lyrics:

"Don't tear me down for all I need

Make my heart a better place

Give me something I can believe"

Sounds familiar?
Well if you've been an avid fan of VD, they used it on one of their scene. And yeah, i screamed when i heard it.





ALL I NEED LYRICS
I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't I ever learn?
I've lost all my trust,
though I've surely tried to turn it around

Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace

Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear me down
You've opened the door now, don't let it close

I'm here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
from turning it around

Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace

Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe

Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place

I tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away, don't break me down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my fear
Don't tear me down

Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place

Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place
