to be colorful

When I heard this song the first time, I was deeply touched, because most songs sang about love but this song was all about friendships. It was sung by four people. As I googled it, there're different versions. My favorite one would be the one sung by Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandroos and Whitney Houston. They sang so hard that it felt like they're competing while singing- it made the song reach a higher level. Aside from the singers, the melody and lyrics were amazing. Sometimes when we look for Mr. or Ms. Right so hard, we should take a look around us and we'll see our lovable friends. Even though we don't accompany with each other most of time, true friendships always last forever.

That's what friends are for - Dionne Warwick
                                                                               
And I never thought I'd feel this way

I went see MJ's "This is it" last month and my favorite song in that movie would be "I'll be there". I thought this song was sung by Mariah Carey. Well its original singer was "Jackson Five". I heard it from "This is it" from MJ himself and was deeply moved. It felt like there's someone there for you and being supportive and caring about your life. He/She is always there, opens their arms and offers the sincere, unselfish love. Yes, the feelings were so genuine and touching... and I was totally drawn to the song. The lyrics were so beautiful. "I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do, Just call my name, and I'll be there"... anyone would be touched if he/she receives this announcement from the one they love. It's a song with lots of loves. Share with you.

I believe most people have heard this song "If" before. With no explanation, I just loved this song. Even though the singer is singing it, the song spreads feelings of silence. It brought out a silent and peace atmosphere. It made me feel peaceful. I would like to say it's a quiet song. Although I didn't know what it meant when I heard it the first time, the pure feelings already strongly affected me.

I just love this song especially the Lauryn Hill version. Second likable one would be Joanna Wang’s version. I love the melody and the lyrics. Everytime I listen to it, I always want to wave along with the music. Besides, I’ve had an experience to sing this song on my friend’s wedding, which is quite an amazing thing for me. This song can bring me joy and love. It makes me happy- yes, simply happy. I have to admit if I see someone and think he is too good to be true- it’s not good for me, because I can’t take my eyes off him and that’s not a lady should do! But I have to say I did have that kind of experience several times. Hopefully I can be with someone who I can’t take my eyes off and he’d think the same way to me. Then we’d thank god we’re alive!

Can’t take my eyes off you

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch

Wow, I got a day off tomorrow because the typhoon is coming soon. Gotta say it's a relief for me because I need to have some rest since my condition is not good. Since it's a day off tomorrow (to be precisely, it should be "today"), I would write something new for my blog. Well, I'm still going to write something about songs. The songs would be the "Long Vacation Sound Track Album". Most of you may know this popular japanese drama "Long Vacation". For me, songs in this drama were important to me. They've been with me since I was in senior high in the US (a long long time ago). And, amazingly, they're still with me till now. The reason I love to hear them is because they're so soft, touching, relaxing and with smooth melody. They don't have very strong or high-pitched sounds. They're just slow and with laziness. I just like the way they are. When I feel sad or am with too much emotions, I'll listen to this album and imagine I'm in a long vacation, which means everything is relaxing and soothing. So, do you have your favorite songs or sound tracks? Everyone should have some so that we can retreat to another world for a short, private relaxing time. 

LA LA LA LOVE SONG

Today I accidentally heard a song- "heal the world" by Michael Jackson. Such a touching and warm song. After hearing it, I felt like crying because of the sad story it's trying to tell us. This song said about people were dying and we should try saving the world and being against the war. Michael Jackson's voice was so pure and clear in this song. The music video of it was very touching too, as well as the melody and lyrics. Even though this was a song long long time ago, it still has its power which conveys the meaning of no-war to listeners. Below share the lyrics of this song with you all. 
Make the world a better place for you and for me!

Heal the world 
by Michael Jackson

There was a commercial of chanel perfume lately. The theme song of it I liked a lot was called "L-O-V-E". This song always reminded me of the days when I was in the US- full of melody, music, styles and leisure. When I was in LA as a senior in high school long long time ago, I got the chances to visit places around beaches in Santa Monica, a very beautiful place full of fancy restaurants and shops. I was there several times and really missed the atmosphere there, though it is hard for me to go back there since I need to have money and time for the visitng. That place was really beautiful with lights, music, shows all on the streets. People there were walking, eating, chatting, with no pressure and with style. I think because "L-O-V-E" is with such beautuful melody and voice, it makes me remind of LA beach life. The lyrics are touching as well. To share with you all, "L-O-V-E".

L-O-V-E

As I watched "friends" today, it said about a song- isn't she lovely (by stevie wonder). I looked for this song on internet and heard it. It was really beautiful. If on the wedding, the band plays this song, I guess the bride will feel like an angel. "Isn't she lovely", this describes a man's feelings to the girl he loves. Am I lovely? I guess the answer is not from us. It'd be precious to hear the words from the one we love. A girl would become beautiful and lovely for the one she loves. Not only for herself, but for the special one out there.

Isn't She Lovely
by Stevie Wonder

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderfull

This was a movie shown when I was in junior high- a long long time ago. I liked this song a lot because it told a romantic story which almost wouldn't happen in real life. It said a beauty who alwasy was wondering about outside the world and had a brave and warm heart. And, she really accidentally ran into the beast who looked very scary and big and tall. So, how could a beauty love a beast? Even though the beast looked unlovable, he had a sincere and warm heart as well. The beauty found out the merit inside the beast and fell in love with him.

Well, that's the story which I believe everyone has heard of it well. Aside from the story, I liked the melody of the song very much too. It has a smooth and lovable tempo. And the music vedio is quite cool at that time- the background is the movie of "beauty and the beast". When I was in junior high, disney movies were very popular. Well now is popular too, but, back to that time, the feelings were totally different. I guess that's because it felt more pure and genuine. I miss it.

Beauty and the Beast

God. I love this song. We're what we are because the one we love loves us back. Or, we should say, we'd like to become better ones because someone is there being supportive. We want to be better and more unique for certain people. We can also say we become better because we want it to be. It is a sweet thing to know someone loved us and we loved them back. It made us stronger and put much faith on what we did. And when I felt down, they were around me. When skies were no longer blue, songs were with me and put strength on me. It is lucky for us to know people love us and beautiful touching things are all around us.

Because you loved me

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see

Lately I didn't have much faith on what I've done, whether on work or private life. Until one day, I saw someone's blog said there is a song "when you believe" singing about faith, I tried to hear this song (though I've heard it before) and started to feel it. This song said that "you will when you believe". This is really touching. I almost cried because of this phrase. Was there too much for me to ask?- I kept thinking of it these days. A beautiful song can really touch our hearts and heal it when it is at the right time. The lyrics and melody are not only beautiful but also warm and with miracles for us to achieve. Are what we hope really miracles? Well. You will when you believe! 

When you believe

by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston

Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear

I accidentally saw the video months ago- the britan's "got talent" show, the little girl sang the song "over the rainbow". Well, I got to say I like this song a lot. It sooths emotions, brings peaceful feelings, and calms nerves. Here, I'd like to introduce the song- though I know many of you already heard it. And I'm sure that everyone likes it.
..By the way, that little girl was like an angel. Very innocent smile and unbelievable voice. =)


"Over the Rainbow"

Below are the lyrics of a song I love a lot- Bette Midler's "wind beneath my wings". This is a theme song in the movie "beaches", a fabulous movie too. It said about the friendship between two totally different girls. One was a rich girl who never got frustrated until the latter of her life. The other one was a girl who was poor but ambitious and wanting to be famous. Really a nice and also popular song. Share with you.
