Was listening to Shan and Rozz today on radio and they were doing some “songs of the decade” special today. For some reason, almost all of the songs brought me back to those days when the songs were always aired on the radio.
I can’t really remember all of the songs, but here are those that I remembered:
Drops of Jupiter by Train
I remember listening to this song every Friday night at 987′s Top 20 Countdown and it was number 1 for quite a few weeks. For some reason, back then, the title of this song made me feel as though I have a blanket covering me on cold nights, and it was my lullaby for quite sometime.
Train came out with a new single recently, “Hey Soul Sister”. I thought it’s quite catchy but somehow still I like Drops of Jupiter better.
Complicated by Avril Lavigne
This was Avril Lavigne’s first single (it’s been so long). I liked her songs quite a lot and even bought her album after Sk8er Boi came out. I love the artwork of that album.
2002 was a year when I was still confused about school and everything. Confused about many things and got quite “emo” (that’s the only word that I can use to describe). Everyday after school would be to stay at home, do work and listen to my CDs.
The Reason by Hoobastank
I learnt the drums for this myself within a day. haha. Simple, yet just catches everyone’s attention.
You’re Beautiful by James Blunt
I have to admit, there was a point in time when I got very irritated at listening to this song. It was only until about 2 years of not listening to this song that I was okay to listening to it.
Oh ya, once, in China, I was with Huzz and I think Liying in a taxi when the radio played this song and they didn’t censor the word “F888888 high”. Interesting but no one really noticed it anyway.
Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake
Honestly, I don’t really have much recognition about this song until the beginning of this year. I guess it was because I went to Chengdu for 4 months, and lost touch with all the songs that were “in” during that period (I lived on Tank’s songs and a lot of oldies that the driver listened to every morning on our way to work. Imagine that!). The term “sexyback” was used very frequently and it was after a while before I learnt about this song. Lol
I think my music choice was greatly influenced by the songs that I first listened to when I first started listening to the radio. The genre was mainly alternative. Here’s a song that I really really like.
So denied,
So I lied,
Are you the now or never kind
In a day and a day love
I’m gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had,
Are you cool with just tonight?
Here’s a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here’s to the nights we felt alive
Here’s to the tears you knew you’d cry
Here’s to goodbye
Tomorrow’s gonna come too soon
Put your name on the line
Along with place and time
Wanna stay not to go,
I wanna ditch the logical
Here’s a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here’s to the nights we felt alive
Here’s to the tears you knew you’d cry
Here’s to goodbye
Tomorrow’s gonna come too soon
All my time is frozen motion
Can’t I stay an hour or two or more
Don’t let me let you go
Here’s a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here’s to the nights we felt alive
Here’s to the tears you knew you’d cry
Here’s to good bye
Tomorrow’s gonna come too soon
Here’s to the nights we felt alive
Here’s to the tears you knew you’d cry
Here’s to good bye
Tomorrow’s gonna come too soon

Great song!
Don’t think too much though. It doesn’t reflect how I feel.
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.
[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I could turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)
(Chorus)
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
(Chorus)
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

I think this song should be used in weddings as a vow.
SUPER SWEET!!
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can’t replace
And now that I’m strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I’ll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I’ll be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you’re my, you’re my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don’t throw that away
Your Guardian Angel
Cuz I’m here for you
Please don’t walk away and
Please tell me you’ll stay, stay
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I’ll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Hm it reminds me of that particular scene in Heroes 2, where Claire tries to jump off the Hollywood sign and her bf catches her coz he said he doesn’t want to see her hurt. SWEET leh!! haha
Guess his record company decided on a new kind of image for him. Blue hair and everything eh? I wonder if he is just as innocent as a year back though (based on the interview on 100% Entertainment). Haha. But his songs are just as great!
Kinda like this song: Stay With Me The beginning MV reminds me of 我可以 (I Can).
