What I'm Listening to This Week~

I'm on MC today, whee~ Throat infection started camping in my eye all because I read the instructions wrongly and took 2 antibiotic capsules per day instead of the 4 capsules per day that I was supposed to do.. *stupid*

Just a random post to share 3 songs that I've been addicted to recently that I cant seem to find on videokeman.. so cant update the flavour of the week :(

1) Jewel - What You Are

First heard it when I was watching the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and fell in love with the lyrics~ So nicely written, it kind of makes me want to cry... ;P

"I’m driving around town
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
See a girl on the bus stop bench
Dressed to draw attention

Hoping everyone will stare
If she don’t stand out she thinks she’ll disappear
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
What she wants is already there

A star is a star
It doesn’t have to try to shine
Water will fall
A bird just knows how to fly

You don’t have to tell a flower how to bloom
Or light how to fill up a room
You already are what you are
And what you are is beautiful

Heard a story the other day
Took place at the local VA
A father talking to his dying son
This was his conversation

“It’s not supposed to be like this
You can’t go first I can’t handle it”
The boy said “Dad now don’t you cry,
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I’d ask why?”

(You’d say) Gravity is gravity
It doesn’t try to pull you down
Stone is stone
It can’t help but hold its ground

The wind just blows, though you can’t see
It’s everywhere like I’ll always be
You already are what you are
And what you are is strong enough"

Here's a clean version of the song.. Enjoy~

2) Emily Browning - Asleep

Omg, im so in love with Emily Browning after watching Sucker Punch, she is just gorgeous as Babydoll in the movie... and the way she sings this song, eventhough it doesnt really need super strong vocals but its just like a lullaby that helps you relax before going to bed, if you get what I mean.. The lyrics are a little depressing tho, but its just to suit the scene in the movie when this song is played.. Jump straight to 0.33 for the song to start properly cos the song's opening sounds a bit like white noise..


This song is actually a cover of The Smith's song called Asleep which is just creepy in my opinion, but this is my favourite bit, super depressing...

"Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go"

3) White Apple Tree - Snowflakes

Can't find any music video for this interesting song.. the reason I like it is because the music arrangement gives me the feeling of waking up in the morning and feeling great about it.. Its been hiding in my playlist for ages and I only recently noticed it.. @.@~and its been one of the songs I'm always repeating ever since, lol...

Quite a few songs that I've been listening to over and over recently, but these 3 are the more interesting ones, i guess... cant even find music videos of them :( which is why i'd like to share it with everyone!!!! :D
