when u are in love and like.

When you are in love and like, you become a total mess. Your train of thoughts are a blur, your heart's in a mess and your head's so high up in the clouds you can't see the ground. I love the feeling but yet hate it all the same time. Entirely for the fact that I've worked so hard to be my own person, I don't want to lose it all. But yet you can't control these things, and I guess you sometimes just have to let your heart rule your mind. I digress..yet again.

Of course I was listening to Metro Station's Kelsey(in the post below) on imeem.com, and I stumbled upon this other band called 'The Cab'. If pop rock is not your thing, please stop here.

But for all other fellow pop rockers, you will enjoy this band as much as I have. They've got the same happy vibe, the one that makes you want to enjoy every waking moment with that special one, and life's a bed of roses. What can I say, love turns you into a gay motherfucker or at least ME.

Nonetheless, check out tracks like "Vegas Skies" and "Take My Hand". Bordering on emo and mushy, but it communicates my feelings on life, love and happiness through the melody alone.

"Calm your nerves now
Don't worry, just breathe
Are you sure now?
Don't bother packing, let's just leave

Said they wanted change
I hope that you remain the same
To show that this is not a game
Lets end this tragedy today

Now take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over

Lay down with me
Let me hold you, baby just breathe
This is ending and we will get through eventually"
The Cab, Take My Hand

I'll admit that some of the tracks will start to sound alike such as "I Run" versus "Take My Hand" but nonetheless, it's still a good listen especially if there's this undying need on your own part to smile for no reason, all because there's that someone special on your mind.

I am scaring myself, shall stop here. :)

Sometimes fancy words arent needed.

Oh my god, I hate to admit this but I LOVE THIS SONG. Never heard of Metro Station, not until 2 nights ago when I was on the phone with a friend and comparing playlists. I'm ashamed to admit that 1/3 of The Jonas Brothers has a part to do with this foursome. But here's reason why you should love this song too,

"So take one word you said
You put it in your bed
You rest your tiny head, on your pillow
You wonder where you're going next
You got your head pushed to my chest
And now you're hoping that someone let's you in
Well I sure'll let you in

You know I'll let you in
Oh kelsey, you

So don't let anyone scare you
You know that I'll protect you, always
Now through the thick and thin
Until the end
You better watch it
You know you don't cross it because
I'm always here for you
And i'll be here for you
And I know, I know, I know
I know how it feels
Believe me, I've been there
And I know, I know, I know
I know what it feels like
Tell me, Kelsey

And I'd swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey
And I'd swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey yeah

It's gonna get harder
And it's gonna burn brighter
And it's gonna to feel tougher
Each and every day and
So let me say that I love you
You're all that I've ever wanted
All that I've ever dreamed of to come
And yes, you did come
I want you so bad
Can you feel it too?
You know i'm so, i'm so in love with you
I want you, so much
I need you, so much
I need you, I need you, your touch

And I'd swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey

And I'd swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey

And I'd swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey

And I'd swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey yeah
kelsey kelsey kelsey kelsey"

The lyrics bother on cheesy but yet at the same time, the idea of the song is so simple. I think there's beauty in its simplicity, and I swear in under 5 secs of listening to the song, all you want to do is, "whooaaaaa oh kelseyyyy".

While I would sound impossibly too young to say this because I am far from old, but this song reminds me of my adolescent years where I am infatuated with a boy, and all I can do is gush and blush whenever I see him. What can I say, we never really leave the bubblegum pop-loving days behind.

It also makes me want to kiss, hug, laugh with the person I love, to share long bus rides and walks in the parks, to feel what it's like to be carefree, knowing that freedom is within our grasps. To know that every night I will go to bed feeling safe, warm and happy. Because I've found the type of love that I've always wanted.

KINGS OF LEON. MUSIC. LOVE. JOY.

Current obsession - Kings of Leon's latest album "Only By The Night". Some solid tunes here, and practically not a single track I can blatantly critique at all. A mish-mash of Stereophonics, Yoav and Guns and Roses, it's magic that which i cant really pin-point but amazing. It opens darkly, with heavy sounds embedded into "Closer", and it eases into a light-hearted track about the city that which I love, "Manhattan" and it closes with the very depressing, "Cold Desert", as if to slowly take a polite exit to what I would say, one of the best albums I've ever heard in 2008.

The album makes me believe that music will win wars, hearts, love and life. It brings to me emotions that are overwhelming but makes me believe that life will be beautiful with just music alone.

Sidetracking to other random things, there are so many gigs I want to go to but if only my pocket wasnt already so dented from my horrendous shopping habits (and bad economy!) Camera Obscura and The Whitest Boy Alive are some bands stopping by the sunny island of Singapore and I'm stoked. Let's see if I get a chance to catch them live!

And I just watched 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona', and I'm feeling the repercussions of living in this tiny city, and a longing to see what the world has to offer me. But I think I'd thrive well in passionate lovers, musicians, art, life and poetry, in all of it's twisted, warped mannerisms. It's so beautiful. And I want that kind of life, a truly beautiful life where I can live out in earthy tones, and to be one with the world. Like the forces of nature, is one with me.
