Haha..there's nothing much for me to type actually, so i've decided on a topic. Music and songs which i like!!! One of the most ambiguous parts of my life. Well, unless you want to punish your ears and hear me rant about the stupid things that people do and MY pessismistic view on life, here goes :
Before i begin though, let me declare something. Contary to what most of my friends think, i'm not really a j-pop addict. My music playlists is mostly composed of songs which my friends recommend or songs which i've heard and i think is nice.
Since almost none of my friends reccomend me songs and my only source of entertainment is by watching jap anime, most of my songs are inserts and openings/endings from them. They're quite nice actually. And for those who don't know, i don't usually watch tv and don't tune in to the radio. So, there's nothing much behind the fact that my playlists are mostly jap songs
Also, i've got no idols and i don't idolize anyone. Which mean, no favourite actors, actresses, singers, bands...and the list goes on. In my mind, the idea of being a fan of an artist mean to love everything (if not all) that the artist comes out with. Lets say, an ayumi fan would love all of ayumi's songs. Rae would love everything about tomoya. You get the picture. Although i do like various artists and bands, i'm not to the point whereby i would declare a fan of theirs. Nope.
Okay, so on to the main topic. I think what i'm going to type out in the next few paragraphs will have almost everyone dying to clobber me to death as i really don't know how to exactly put what i think across in words. I'll try my best so here goes... (=
For me, i'll like a piece of music or song if it sounds...pleasing to my ear. Pleasing in the sense that it must have a certain rhythm which connects the parts of the songs together. It also means that i don't go for the meanings in the lyrics. If the lyrics are meaningful, its a plus. If not, too bad.
I guess thats why i'm attracted to j-anime songs. They always have those catchy tunes in them and i don't mind the fact that i cannot understand what they are saying. I'll just check out the translations when i have the time. (**Makes a note to learn jap soon**)
So these crosses out punkish rap (there's an exception though, Lose Yourself by Eminem). I also hate house music and clubs. Maybe its because of the smoke.Bah
(Ok, i'll end my post here for now. Very pissed. Stupid com hung 2 times, making me retype 2 VERY long posts. Everytime i retype i lose a bit of content and i'm running out of time. Tomorrow have to wake up at 530am and i have field exercise on tuesday. I'll continue when i get back. For now, i'll calm myself with a very peaceful and slow song (= )

You Look Similar to Me
by See-Saw
Your silhouette resembles mine
Like silent sobs, resounding in my chest...
To know nothing may be happiness
But I know I surely won't be satisfied with that
Even though the night may stretch out infinitely
I only wish to live the path I've choosen
Your speed resembles mine
Losing the will to stop, I become fearful of the sky
When can I stop working hard?
If it were the two of us, we can end it
I've choosen a path that can never be easy, no matter what I do
Not being able to brush off the smears of sand from my shoe,
There's no other way in which I can live
If it were you, you'd surely be in the laughter of summer
You made a promise to me
That you'd run towards me
Live without faltering your glance
And you can surely stop this better than anyone else
Your silhouette resembles mine
Because you, who see the same world as me, is here
I didn't lose my heart even at the end
I can now live as I wish
Because you made me satisfied...
Music..songs (part I)
