But one last time, tell me you love me…If you don’t then lie, Lie to me!

Song: True Love

Artist: Coldplay

Album: Ghost Stories (2014)

 

Somewhere in this big bad universe, some version of present-me is always kicking some version of past-me’s ass for ever, EVER, hating on coldplay.

It took me a while to come to my senses, but I realized this band for the genius they are. I have all their songs and listen to them consistently and admire Chris Martin for everything he is.

Ghost Stories is not disappointing, third song and BANG ON!

The songs is smashing, video is good… they’re bloody fantastic… Enjoy! 😀

 

“It’s like we never happened, was it just a lie? If what we had was real, how could you be fine?”

Song: Amnesia

Artist: 5 Seconds of Summer

Album: 5 Seconds of Summer (2014)

 

The reason I love watching music award shows or reality music shows is that they keep you updated on the latest music. This years VMAS introduced me to this piece of beauty (AND ADAM LEVINE PERFORMED… WOOHOO!!))

Now, I’m at a point in my life where I feel I’m too old for these new boy bands, teenage artists (Backstreet Boys Forever!!) and that is precisely the reason I have very actively avoided the Justin Beiber and One Direction bandwagons (not to mention it’s just plain weird when you and the 4th graders you teach crush out on the same people, Zayn Malik?? :/) but I just couldn’t help but love, download and croon along to this song by this band. It’s already on my iTunes and I have already belted it out too many times.

The lyrics are just love!! they are pure and honest and the fact that these little boys are singing about heartbreak isn’t even weird in this case… maybe, you occasionally need to make exceptions to your own written rules (like those two Miley Cyrus songs I got on my iPod, shhh)

This good one! Listen! 😀

 

To Weddings and Moving Away – “So I wonder where were you when all the roads you took came back to me.”

Song: Maps

Artist: Maroon 5

Album: V (2014)

It might seem like the same old regular topsy turvy disastrous world to y’all, but for me, the whole superficial side of my world has taken a serious blow. Honestly, it’s like while I was on my summer vacation doing marathons of my favorite shows and reading my books, everything around me changed. Zac Efron got Michelle Rodriguez, George Clooney got a fiance, Ryan Gosling decided to be a daddy and the celebrity love of my life Adam Levine, decided to get married! What!??  What is happening!!???

And if the celebrity world was being rude and unfriendly, the real world decided to follow, the remaining few of my friends decided to get married back to back in the coming months, leaving me the only one who needs “Single Ladies” as her anthem. That, and my BFF is finally moving away in Sept, and the panic attacks have started already. So if everyone around you is in a relationship/married/mommies/daddies is there something wrong with you being single and almost all the time happy about it?

Hating aside, I’m happy for all the people in my life (celebrity and otherwise) moving on and settling down, and if they ever read this.. may they have long and happy lives 😀 Especially Adam Levine (you broke my heart, but I’m over it – Love you!)

So Congratulations to all the married happy couples around – and I dedicate to you this lovely, new, totally inappropriate to this post song – for the love of Adam Levine! ❤

PS. I know there is some serious shit going on in the world right now, but music helps make it better 🙂 So smile!

05:22 of pure genius – “Spent all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free, so don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me!”

Artist: Justin Timberlake

Song: Not a Bad Thing

Album: The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2 (2013)

Every time Justin Timberlake comes out with an album, song or a music video – he just proves how much he has evolved.. he is turning into a music genius and is leaps and bounds from his N Sync days. I am touched with this recent project of his and the story behind it.

Justin heard about a couple who got engaged in January 2014 on a train from Long Island to New York – the guy proposed by playing this very song of Justin. This genius used this story and his music video to create an epic work of art. His music video is a mini documentary – two documentarians on the search to find this couple. Its an entire movement and he is very determined to find this couple. The video will make you teary eyes and reinforce your belief in love. Its truly 5 minutes of true beauty.

If this wasn’t enough, he later asked fans to send in their stories of love and made another music video filled of those stories. So it’s official – he is my hero!

I’m putting up both the versions of the video here. enjoy and bawl your eyes out – call up someone you love and tell em you do! 🙂

 

For the love of TFIOS – “But I’m tellin’ the man my plan to never feel alone…”

Song: Let me in

Artist: GroupLove

Album: OST The Fault in Our Stars

 

The fan-struck frenzy continues for a second day in a row, I’m all rave about this book/movie at the moment and the awesome awesome soundtrack that is accompanying it. Here’s another song for y’all.

 

“So I took your hand back through lamp-lit streets and knew, Everything led back to you!”

Song: All of the Stars

Artist: Ed Sheeran

Album: OST The Fault in Our Stars

 

So a little while ago, on one of my usual trips to my book store, the guy who works there pushed my insistently towards this new “IN” author John Green, who was “All the rage” and books were “Flying off the shelves”. Being the avoider of trend that I am, I opted t that moment not to buy the book, but a few weeks later curiosity got the best of me and I found myself at another book store buying all 5 John Green books altogether.

I started reading with The Fault in Our Stars, and a few chapters in, I had become a convert, a part of “nerd-hero” cult. I binged read all of his books, read up on him, joined all his pages and became a big, big fan. It was around the perfect time too, with the movie coming soon.

All of the words I fell in love with just combine perfectly with all the trailers and songs and the whole story on screen. I am already crying like an idiot every time I see a trailer or a soundtrack video or anything else, and I’m ALSO willing to sacrifice the opening day of the WORLD CUP to go see the movie. I’m excited, pumped, eager to watch and a major Ed Sheeran fan, so this song is dedicated to just everything that is so perfect about this writer, this movie, this book and the song… and the singer!

Have a good day, people! 🙂

 

Why How I Met Your Mother Series Finale Made Me Lose Faith In Love!

Ted and Tracy finally together in the series finale

So I am one the biggest fans of the show How I Met Your Mother, I was there from Season 1 cheering on and watching it religiously. The show is actually an end of an era. I was only 15 when I was introduced to it; I was silly, stupid and completely desperate to fall in love, and I had some pretty ridiculous notions about love back then.

 

 

Watching this show was a whole growing process, as I grew older, from 15 to 20 to finally 24, the show grew as well – so did the characters and our perceptions of them. When we first saw Ted, he was this hopeless romantic who was at times really annoying. Did we bear a stark resemblance to him, yes we did! but even then he still got on our nerves.

But as the show went forward and us finally getting a glimpse of the mother, we saw a change in Ted as well. He grew form the little boy eager to fall in love and getting heartbroken by Robin every single time. He grew into this man who seemed content with his life. Now when I saw the mother I had my reservations, I said, How can stranger just waltz in and think she can be a part of the show, of the characters lives and of this incredible story. All we wanted to Ted and Robin.

But she did waltz in, she did become part of the group – and more than that, she made us fall in love with her. What Ted and Tracy had was something real, two people who were scarred brought together in this adorable, sweet way. Two people who shared their quirks and loved each other more so for being silly and crazy. This was true love, this is how it is in reality – not two people destined since forever and ever.

 

 

As their story developed, we did really forget about Robin and Ted, we wanted Tracy. The producers made someone hopeless in the love department, like me, believe that all this heart break that you face, all the tragedy, all the people who feel you’re “destined” to be with – every road block along the way is worth it, in the end, because then you find someone so amazing… so meant-to-be that you forget all about the pain in the past… and after I truly starting gaining some hope they tell me I am supposed to eventually be with the person I love but who never loves me back? who breaks my heart constantly and plays with my mind all the time?? That is just Tragic!

I am a very loyal fan of all the shows that I religiously watch. After the show last night, I have a lot of thoughts and a lot of emotions and a heavy heart, coz the underdogs lost again…. time to post more #foreveralone memes. 😦

And it’s been a while but I still feel the same, Maybe I should let you go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Artist: Ed Sheeran

Song: Give Me Love

Album: “+”

 

It’s been ages since I posted a song, but it’s been that sort of time where too much is going on and I’m introduced to a flood of new/old music and I feel relaxed and inspired and so I thought its time for a post… so when everyone around me is getting married and moving away and being all grown-up, I’m just here with my ear phones on happy my IPod is getting fuller by the day.

 

PS. I’M STARTING TO LOVEE ED SHEERAN!

Have a good day where ever you are!

 

“Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too…So I stayed in the darkness with you!”

 

 

Artist: Florence + the machine

Song: Cosmic Love

Album: Lungs (2009)

 

I am an extremely weird person. Sometime, scratch that, every time something becomes an over night sensation and all anyone can talk about, I immediately develop an aversion to it… and then a few years later I come across that thing on my own and kick myself in the head for not discovering it earlier… case in point – florence + the machine.

I could hear everyone going crazy over them and I developed this bitterness towards them, as something that was merely a passing trend and 4 years after their first album, I come across a few of their songs and I am HOOKED!! This woman has an insanely powerful voice… it seems almost heavenly, like otherworldly… in a good way!

I am a convert, and though it took me a while, just like all the other things previously… I am glad I discovered them in my own good time! and I am quickly browsing through all their music even as I put this blog up! so anywhere you are in the world today… yes, go ahead and judge, call me a bad word if you feel like it for not having the good sense of liking this amazing band before… and listen to this and smile!! 😀

PS. feel free to point out any good songs of this band I might be missing out on!

 

 

 

“I will swallow my pride. You’re the one that I love, and I’m saying goodbye!”

 

Artist: A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera

Song: Say Something

This is why I turn to music during times of stress, loneliness, depression and confusion …. every now and then you come across something that is so profound and beautiful and magnificent that it is nothing short of a divine miracle, something to be admired as a thing of sheer magic! May sound like a tall order for a song, but I have felt nothing but goosebumps on my skin since this morning when I was first introduced to A Great Big World (Thank you The Voice) and their song Say Something. I loved Christina before but I had kind of started missing her pure big voice, and today she made me love her again, not by belting out… but by showing me an amazing control and a soft voice.

I think anyone can relate to this song, giving up on someone they loved very deeply once… someone they would’ve done anything for. It’s a  simple song with simple lyrics… but the amazing voices of the lead singer and Christina, and the haunting quality of the music has made me an immediate fan and so today no stories of my life… only pure admiration of this wonderful, beautiful song which I have a feeling is going to be on repeat on my iPod for some time!

I’m putting up the live performance done on the voice, which if you know me and my aversion to live performances, is really saying something… I hope you will be just as passionate about this song as I am! Have a good day wherever you are in the world! ❤
