The song is inspiring, yes?

Well a few days ago, I was out trying to find jeans that would fit me. Unfortunately size has always been a problem of mine since I live in a part of the world that does not cater to the likes of me and my size. It sucks really. Of course, if you are a girl, this would be a complete downer for you because it is like one of the things that could depress you. Well, it depressed me.

MIKA wrote this song in celebration of curvier women. I think there is less of these songs all over the world because most preconceived ideas about beauty is that a girl has to be skinny. Anyway, this could be an anthem for me, myself, and I, as it definitely picked me up from the sadness.

So, big girls, if any of you are reading. Remember: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!! :)

Hi! I'm back!

After a long hiatus, I have surfaced from the depths of the Earth to take back my seat in this blogging world.

No, seriously, I have been absent for a while due to certain circumstances that could not be prevented. My grandma is in the hospital intensive care unit, and is still on her way to recovery.

Featured song: "Unwell" by Matchbox 20 [2002] (Pop rock)








The song may pertain to my grandmother being unwell. But this song means much more to me rather than its reflection on current events.

The song talks about a person who claims he is not crazy although he may seem to be. This is something that relates to me, since there have been various instances where people have dubbed me as crazy - not just as a joke but sometimes perhaps out of spite or incredulousity(?). Be that as it may, I know I am crazy... and as what Rob Thomas said in an interview, the song is basically for people who more or less are "f*cked up and feel alone like that. We all feel a little f*cked up sometimes ... you're not alone."

This song can be found in Matchbox 20's album "More Than You Think You Are," and it was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 2004.

Lyrics:

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

Sorry for the absence guys. I was a wee bit busy. Anyway, here's my latest offering. I hope you like it! :)

Featured song: "Someone to Fall Back On" by I'll Can't Go On, I'll Go On ft. Aly Michalka [2009] (Indie)







The song is taken from the movie "Bandslam" that was released last year. The movie features Aly Michalka [Phil of the Future] of the duo 78violet. Vanessa Hudgens [High School Musical series], and Gaelan Connell [Law & Order, Chocolat]. The song above is one of the movie's band together with Aly Michalka. The movie's soundtrack actually features a number of really interesting tracks, including a cover of a song by Bread which I will feature later on.

I actually have this song on replay on my player for a couple of days now. What captivates me the most is the quiet intro that later blends into something more upbeat. Plus, it does not sound much like Aly. Heehee I like Aly and her sister, but I will feature them later on.

The tone of the song from the start makes me feel wistful or something. Like I'm flying a bit on clouds although the song is not that happy really. But it's okay. LOL You should listen, really. Whatever it is, I keep playing this song again and again. :)

Lyrics:

I'll never be
A knight in armor
With a sword in hand,
Or a kamikaze fighter;
Dont count on me
To storm the barricades
And take a stand,
Or hold my ground;
Youll never see
Any scars or wounds -
I dont walk on coals,
I wont walk on water:
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
I am not anyones wildest dream,
But I will stand behind
And be someone to fall back on.

Some comedy -
Youre bruised and beaten down
And Im the one
Whos looking for a favor.
Still, honestly,
You dont believe me
But the things I have
Are the things you need.
You look at me
Like I dont make sense,
Like a waste of time,
Like it serves no purpose -
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
And if thats what you believe you need,
Youre wrong - you dont need much,
You need someone to fall back on...

And Ill be that:
Ill take your side.
If Im the only one,
Im used to that.
Ive been alone,
Id rather be
The half of us,
The least of you,
The best of me.
And I will be
i'll be Your prince,
Ill be your saint,
I will go crashing through fences
In your name. I will, I swear -
Ill be someone to fall back on!
Ill be the one who waits,
And for as long as youll let me,
I will be the one you need.
Ill be someone to fall back on
ill be someone to fall back on
one to fall back on...
