"No Day But Today"

Love everything about this song. Beautiful.

Anyone who has watched RENT will know what I am talking about but when this song plays at the end after Mimi wakes up, I can't help but smile...or cry....or even do both.

This is the cast of Rent (The Movie) singing Finale B on Good Morning America.

MARK

There is no future

There is no past

ROGER

Thank God this

Moment's no the last

MIMI & ROGER

There's only us

There's only this

Forget regret or

Life is yours to miss

ALL

No other road no other way

No day but today

WOMEN

I can't control

My destiny

I trust my soul

My only goal

Is just to be

MEN

Will I lose my dignity

Will someone care

Will I wake tomorrow

From this nightmare

WOMEN

Without You

The hand gropes

The ear hears

The pulse beats

Life goes on

But I'm gone

MEN

There's only now

There's only here

Give in to love

Or live in fear

No other path

No other way

WOMEN

Cause I'd die

Without you

I die without you

MEN

No day but today

ALL

NO DAY BUT TODAY!!

Pencil Full of Lead - Paolo Nutini

Ah, I'm in love.

Can't believe he is only 22.

Dr. Frankenstein - Jack Savoretti

'Cause it's not where you go when you die

It's how you live when you're alive

Who you touch and how you feel it

And it's not about the time that you have

It's how you cry and how you laugh

Who you love and how you mean it

And do you mean it

Justin Nozuka

Last night I went to go watch Justin Nozuka live with Mina, Lorna and Miku.

Seriously, no words can describe how amazing he was.

Every song just gave me goosebumps. And when he hit the high notes, I literally thought I was gonna melt! (Okay, maybe that's a little too exaggerated but you know what I mean.....)

I will do anything to relive last night.

With the Nozuka brothers......Philip and Henry, I believe.

Justin Nozuka and His AMAZING guitarist, Mark

S.E.X.Y

Talking....

Ah, his smile is so cute.

Definitely one of the most memorable days of my life.

Ciao!

"When I get older, I will be stronger"

Just now I came across K'naan's song "Wavin' Flag" and fell in love with it.......so I decided to check him out on YouTube.

And I found this!

You know how in America they did a cover of "We Are The World" to raise money for Haiti?!

Well in Canada, many young Canadian artists came together and covered this K'naan song and donated all the money raised to Haiti!

I can't believe I didn't know about this! But I guess that happens when you are living in a country obsessed with America and America only!

Please check it out! It is a really good song.

I personally like Drake's rap bit!

I don't know who wrote the lyrics, Drake himself or someone else, but they are good!

"if you weren't involved before it's never too late to start

you probably think that it's too far to even have to care?

you have to know the urge to make a change lies within

well take a look at where you live what if it happened there?

and we can be the reason that they see the flag rise again"

and F.Y.I....this song is the theme song for this year's FIFA World Cup in South Africa! So you'll probably hear it sometime soon!

The original version is really good as well so if you like this one, you should check out K'naan's one!

[All]

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom

Just like a wavin flag

[K'naan]

Born from a throne

Older than Rome

But violent prone

Poor people zone

[Nelly Furtado]

But it's my home

All I have known

[Sam Roberts]

Where I got grown

but now its gone

[Avril Lavigne]

Out of the darkness

in came the carnage

threatening my very survival

[Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan]

Fractured my streets

and broke all my dreams

[Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman]

now Feels like defeat to wretched retreat

[All]

So we strugglin'

[Kardinal Offishall]

Fighting to eat

[All]

And we wonderin'

[Kardinal Offishall]

If we'll be free

[Jully Black]

We cannot wait for some faithful day

it's too far away so right now I'll say

[All - Chorus]

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom

Just like a waving flag

(And then it goes back x3)

Ahhho ahhho ahhho

[Lights]

So many wars settling scores

[Deryck Whibley of Sum 41]

All that we've been through

and now there is more

[Serena Ryder]

I hear them say love is the way

[Jacob Hoggard of Hedley]

Love is the answer that's what they say

[Emily Haines]

But were not just dreamers

of broken down grievers

[Hawsley Workman]

Our hand will reach us

and we will not see ya

[Drake]

This can't control us

no it can't hold us down

[Chin Injeti]

We gon pick it up even though we still struggling

[Pierre Lapointe]

Au nom de la survie (In the name of survival)

[All]

and we wondering

[Pierre Lapointe]

Battant pour nos vies (Fighting for our lives)

[All]

We patiently wait

for some other day

[Fefe Dobson and Esthero]

thats too far away so right now I say

[All - Chorus]

[Drake - Rapping]

Uhh... well alright

How come when the media stops covering

and there's a little help from the government

we forget about the people still struggling

and assume that its really all love again nahh

see we don't have to wait for things to break apart

if you weren't involved before it's never too late to start

you probably think that it's too far to even have to care

well take a look at where you live what if it happened there?

you have to know the urge to make a change lies within

and we can be the reason that they see the flag rise again

[Nikki Yanofsky, Drake]

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom

Just like a wavin' flag

[15]

and then it goes back

[Justin Nozuka]

and then it goes back

[Nikki Yanofsky]

Then it goes back

[Chorus - All]

[Justin Bieber]

When I get older

When I get older

I will be stronger

just like a waving flag

Legaci

This cover of Replay by Iyaz is amazing!

These guys are currently Justin Bieber's background singers!! Cool huh?! Apparently Justin saw them on Youtube and rang them up!!

Once When I Was Little

Such a beautiful song with amazing lyrics.

Check it out!

"Once When I Was Little"

I was the one who would always jump in first
I didn't think twice to look behind
Got such a good feeling just from playing in the dirt
Once when I was little

We could build a rocket, fly to the moon
Leave Tuesday morning, be back for noon
And there wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do
Oh, once when I was little, once when I was little

Yeah, I could dream more then
I could believe more then
That the world could only get better

I could be free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once when I was little

There was a time when I trusted everyone
There was no place that I would not go
Spend all day on the hillside next to the barley mow
Oh, once when I was little, yeah, once when I was little

Yeah, I could dream more then
And I believe more then
That the world could only get better

I could be free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once when I was little

I used to feel so strong
Even when they'd tell me, tell me I was wrong
That I can't live in a magic world
'Cause it's time for me to grow up
And I've got to live like the rest of them
Well, I know things have been lost

Oh, I could pretend more then
And I could believe more then
That the world, it would only get better

Oh, I could believe more then, yes I could
And I could pretend more then
That this life, it could only show me good times
Once when I was little

So here comes the next one, next in line
Stay as young you can, for the longest time
'Cause those days flew by
Like a breeze just passing through
Once when I was little

Ciao!

Running - No Doubt

So people who have been reading my TWITTER might know already but I am obssesed with this song!!

I don't know.......The lyrics are so beautiful and it just makes me feel so sentimental. But the weird thing is that I actually like this feeling! *hehe*

Check it out and you might understand.

"Running"

Run
Running all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side

Me
I'm the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most
I'm so sorry that I've fallen
Help me up lets keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love

[Chorus:]
Running, running
As fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it?
(Do you think we'll make it?)
We're running
Keep holding my hand
It's so we don't get separated

Be
Be the one I need
Be the one I trust most
Don't stop inspiring me
Sometimes it's hard to keep on running
We work so much to keep it going
Don't make me want to give up

Ciao!

Today's Playlist.

1. Where is my mind? - The Pixies
   
   I found this song on Ian Somerhalder(Damon in The Vampire Diaries)'s playlist on iTunes and I actually thought this was a recent hit till yesterday! If Wikipedia is correct, it was released before I was even born in the 80s! *haha*
   
   I still love it though!
   
   
2. Kids - MGMT
   
   For some reason.....sometimes I absolutely detest this song and sometimes I'm just crazy about it! Right now, I am so crazy and so obssesed with it!
   
   I just love the intro! It's contagious! *haha*
   
   
3. Dear God - Avenged Sevenfold
   
   I hate heavy metal bands. Metallica, Korn, Slipknot, you name it.
   
   HOWEVER, Avenged Sevenfold is definitely an exception!
   
   Why?! Because they can sing sentimental, touching songs like this one.
   
   Dear God is apparantly about their former drummer that passed away a few years ago. Trust me, if you like sad, emotional songs, you will fall in love with it.
   
   The guitar at the beginning is just so beautiful, it makes me cry!
   
   
4. Here we go again - Pixie Lott
   
   This is a little more pop than the other songs but I think I might be obssesed with Pixie.
   
   She sounds kind of like Lady Gaga, I guess. The tone of her voice.
   
   Of course, no one can beat Queen Gaga but this song just really sticks! I heard it in H&M the other day and knew straight away it was Pixie so I downloaded it as soon as I got home!
   
   
5. Thoughtless - Evanescence
   
   Mina introduced this song to me when we went to karaoke the other day!
   
   I've been in love with it ever since!
   
   It's a Korn cover but this Evanescence version is just perfect!
   Not too heavy but not too slow and quiet either.

What are you guys in to these days?!

I need more new songs in my iPod! Any recommendations?!

Ciao!

Men and Their Guitars

When it comes to music, I have the tendency to fall in love with men who play guitars. *hehe*

Jason Mraz, James Morrison, Justin Nozuka, Joshua Radin, Jack Savoretti......

(I just noticed their first names all begin with the letter J!)

Here is one of my favourite acoustic performances!

It's Eric Hutchinson singing his hit, "Rock & Roll"

Sorry to those who are looking at my blog from their mobile phones!

I don't think you can watch this!



Ciao!

After Tonight

When I have time, I love to search for videos on YouTube of people dancing to songs that I am into at that time.

And so when I was obsessed with Justin Nozuka a few months ago, I started to look for dances to his songs.

And VOILA!!

This is Kayce Aea and Moe Borromeo dancing to After Tonight by Justin Nozuka.

After thorough research, I believe the one on the right (Moe Borromeo) is the same girl that appeared in the "Still Standing" video I posted the other day! She's the one with the hat! Cool huh???

I love this dance! I wanna be able to dance like this!!

Just thought I'd share what I love with you guys!

Ciao!

Still Standing

So these days I've been listening to this song called Still Standing by Monica alot.
I first fell in love with it after watching this dance (video below) by Gigi Torres. Both the song and the dance is amazing. You have to check it out!

WOW right?
Here are the lyrics.....just in case you want to sing along! *hehe*

"Still Standing"
(feat. Ludacris)

Mama always told me
Baby, you gotta walk by faith
And not by sight
Real talk, you gotta listen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, yeah

Oh, listen to me now, I'm gonna say it loud
So you won't be confused 'bout what we talkin' 'bout
I been through the storm, had dirt on my name
I'm still holding on, champion of the game
(They said)

Whatever, don't kill, you make you stronger
Well, I must be the world's strongest woman
See I done, done a whole lotta growin'
Everything you say, I'm already knowin'
'Cause I

I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go

You can bet your last that
My head won't hit the floor, never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I had a lover take his own in front of me
I asked God, why is this happening to me?
But I didn't fold, I held my own
And now I'm deep in love with who I belong
(This is my life)

They say with age comes wisdom
And the white flag, I can't give 'em
Tryin' to tell you how it's s'posed to be
See, this is more than just a song to me
'Cause I

I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go

You can bet your last that
My head won't hit the floor, never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm unbreakable, baby
Luda, yeah, it's a family affair
I may have done the things they say I did
But I'm not who they say I am

Try to throw my name in the dirt
But I really don't give a damn
I'm still standing like the statue of liberty
And I put my name in the history books
So you'll forever remember me

Remember me as the toughest warrior
Or the ultimate fighter
'Cause I'm the truth and nothing but
It's like my hands on the bible
And it's the survival of the fittest

The realest, it's not a facade
Still standing on my two feet
'Cause I'm a child of God
Do something

I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go

You can bet your last that
My head won't hit the floor, never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go

You can bet your last that
My head won't hit the floor, never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm not gonna give up, never
Come too far to look back, oh
Oh, ohh, I been there before
I've seen it, I've seen it, I've done it
I've done it, I'm done, let me live my life now

I let it go, I let God, I let it go, and I let God
Don't hate me now
I ain't who I used to be no more

I'm still standing, I'm still standing
I'm still standing, oh, I'm still standing
I'm still standing, you can't take this joy away

Ciao!
