1,2,3,4 - A song that reminds you of hope

I think the world needs a bit more love.

And this song is exactly the kind of song, that gets stuck in your head and gets its job done. Well it gives you a particular warm and bubbly feeling. Something the world needs a bit more of.

Well, thanks to Lynn for reminding me (on a boring weekend) that such a song existed in my collection and to Beryl who told me that the songs keeps telling her that there is 'hope' of finding love. Something the world needs a bit more of.

Well, I personally wouldn't say the song reminds me of finding someone special to love... I think its a bit tough now... I am enjoying life the way it is and Ms 'close to Mrs right' isn't anywhere to be found ... yet. haha. But it did reminded me of being more giving. Of late, I have been so busy, I only meet up with my usual homies... I wish I had more time to meet up with my other love ones... but it seems so tough. Well maybe this song will tell you... and me ... that we need to try loving one another more... and show love during these tough periods... Something the world needs a bit more of.

1,2 - 1 2 3 4
give me more lovin then i've ever had.
make it all better when i'm feelin sad.

make me feel good when i hurt so bad.
barely gettin mad,
im so glad i found you.
i love bein around you.
you make it easy,
as easy as 1 2,(1 2 3 4.)
theres only one thing two do three words four you.
i love you.
(i love you)
theres only one way two say those three words
and that's what i'll do.
i love you.
(i love you)
give me more lovin from the very start.
piece me back together when i fall apart.
tell me things you never even tell your closest friends.
make me feel good when i hurt so bad.
best that i've had.

A song that got me thinking for a while

I think many people know that I believe we only feel bad when those we love hurt us... or we feel angry or hate a person only if we love that person so.

Yar, I always try to provide that theory. But I was also wondering where I got that idea... should be some movie. But then again, when I was driving just now, I hear a tune by Michael Buble that sung about this theory. It is pretty much true as I always believe.

It got me thinking for a while. Its been close to 3 years, and I still believe you always hurt those you loved the most. And recently this thought and feeling as resurfaced again.

I wonder if I continue thinking this way, will it make me a very hated friend or will it make me a better 'caretaker'. But then again, just enjoy the tune if you have it. It gives you that 60's late night coffee and biscuit feeling. You know ... suddenly I see the world in Black and White. haha.

You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all

Everything Will Be Alright - All Star United

I know most of use are burden by work. But I believe if we continue to work hard and stay together... everything will be alright.

Time to share a song ... A Christian Song. Yar weird right? How come Leon, a non-Christian will share such songs? The reason is ... although Christian writes songs to praise God, I listen to songs for meanings but I do not adopt their original intend but I decipher them and come out with my own interpretation of the lyrics. Basically, I do not accept its original intend but I come up with my own interpretations. Sorry if I confused anyone or offended others.

Back to the song. This song has followed me for years, dating back to Secondary school. A Close 10 years. It has always told me that what its title says: Everything will be alright. Especially when you think of the 'you' in the songs as friends. It really helps.

Everything Will Be Alright - All Star United

To everyone I could not meet
I'll spell it out in lyrics simple and neat
To all of you who never knew this until now

It's flowing in fountains
And I'm counting on moving mountains

'Cause I know when You're near me
Everything will be alright
And I'm sure when You're close by
Everything will be alright

So if you wish to help yourself
Cry out "Jesus" with a capital "Help"
Tell your fear "disappear and fade away"

You get me through, that's what You do
You lit me up I'm burning like
Lightning up in the sky
Even if the sun refuses to shine
And stars played hidaway
That's alright, that's OK

To everyone I could not meet
I know it sounds a little sugary sweet
But how can I even try not to explain

Happy Tunes - 'Things Will Go My Way' - The Calling

Things sprung out of hand sometimes. We are never in control at times... then you begin to think this happens most of the time. Especially when your down. I know there have been some friends plagued by the same mishap I experience moons ago. Well Don't worry cos things will go your way sometimes. They do. Come on lar lets be positive... cos only when you start to be positive then things go your way. If not, even when things go your way, you always think something negative happen.

This happy tunes issue probably will not sound too happy. Cos the song 'Things will go my way' sounds 'downhill' and all bluey at times but I believe everyone bounces back. Friend, it isn't that bad, believe me. Scream to the song if you want. It helps.

I came to tell you
How we've all began
Nothing seems to work out right
I'm broken down again
So hold me now
And say it's not forever
Maybe someday
In time

Things will go my way
Things will go my way

I've pushed to get through
The crowds in twisted zone
Just to find I'm right back here
Doing what I'm told
So take my hand
Don't let me surrender
'Cuz maybe someday
Yeah, in time

Things will go my way
Things will go my way

For all the lives
I've tasted
Just looking for the truth
For all the dreams I'm chasing
What am I to do
With everything against me
The answers are all wrong
Open now, I'll find out
It was working all along

So hold me now
And say it's not forever
Maybe someday
In time

Things will go my way
Things will go my way
Things will go my way

For all the things
I've tasted
Just looking for the truth
For all the dreams I'm chasing
What am I to do
With everything against me
The answers are all wrong
Open now, I'll find out

Things will go my way
Things will go my way

Things Will Go My Way - The Calling

Happy Tunes - 'The Great Escape' by Boyslikegirls

Yes, Happy Tunes recommendation 2 belongs to Boyslikegirls. I picked the album off the shelve, cos it had the comment 'one of the top 100 you must know bands in 2007' as quoted on spin.com. Think about it... top 100 bands of 2007... like a bit insignificant right? haha. The truth is, I didn't even know them before this and so it must be one of my lucky buys. But this album is great, it rocks! The band sounds pretty much like The All-American Rejects. Therefore, if you like them you will love this album. Hey alligator 2... this is the band we were discussing about one of our trips home, remember you asked me what band it was?

I choose this track 'The Great Escape' because its all about putting those 'yesterdays', 'wrongs' and worries aside and rejoice cos at least we got tonight and now. Basically, enjoy the moment you are in, do whatever you wanna do now and don't be bothered with the past. So yar, Kinda positive, if you know what I mean.

So folks I hope you love this track... give new bands a chance... don't pirate. Well thinking of getting the 'Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' next... but thats gonna be in a while.

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause were young
And we'll feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Happy tunes - Move Along (The All-American Rejects)

As some of you know, I don't recommend piracy... but I think its important friends share music in order to cheer each other up... So the newly 'Happy Tunes' thread is started so you all can enjoy the songs which I do... aka I recommend songs to you folks... I will post the lyrics.... if you like the song... call me or buy the CD...

Anyways the first song for this thread is 'Move Along' by The All-American Rejects. I find it a classic song to be played when your really down... yes its not a new release but it makes me happy, and the lyrics will shout out in your face: 'don't mop... get up and move along'

I know a lot of us get emo and trouble by problems that tie us down... so much so that we seem dysfunctional... well, this song is perfect in my opinion. It help me move on... so I hope it helps you too... especially those who akin to me, get worried too much.

Music makes the world go round... I hope by posting recommendations I can help you guys who are in trouble.
I am a call away.
I promise i will be there.

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

(Speak to me!)

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along.....

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]

(Move along)
Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along
