My 5 Fav Songs

Air - Mike Mills

For some reason, this song was named after the music video director, Mike Mills, who directed some of Air's music videos. I wouldn't know why or anything but the music is so beautiful. It starts from this synched organ sound to a piano then a guitar and it's just a very chillout music. And to be honest, I wouldn't mind having sex with this song. It can also be a good laid back 'get laid' song as well.

Melody Gardot - Gone

The song itself makes me wanna cry but when I read about her, I just felt so inspired and I felt a bit teary at her courage. She was disabled when she made this album (cause of some accident in her younger years). This song, on the other hand, makes me think of my break ups as well. Cos she went "I won't wake up to the sound of your feet" and "by the time that I do, you'll be gone". It's such a heart breaking empathy-fishing song but it's just so good it always makes me go 'awww' and her scat in the middle is so unique yet awesome.

Gym Class Heroes - On my Own Time

The chorus, or whatever part of the song they keep repeating, reminds me of Green Day's wake me up (when september ends). But somehow, it's on my favorite track this week. I'm not really that much of a fan of Gym Class Heroes but this is one of their songs that I really like. I like it when hard pop group sings a softer tune. Like Green Day's Time of Your Life, 311's Amber or Sugar Ray's Ode to the Lonely Hearted.

Sophie Milman - Agua De Beber
For some reason, I'm addicted to boss nova lately. Maybe it's my age showing but yeah, I love jazzy bossa nova. Sophie sounds like that russian chick Regina Spektor and unsurprisingly, she is a Russian musician herself. There's something about Russian chicks' voice that I like. This song is just her scatting and singing some weird lyrics in English and some language. But yeah, a really chill out song.



Sam Sparro - Black and Gold
It's been a while since I've stopped listening to this song thanx to the nonstop radio airplays. But I happened to listen to it last few days and got addicted all over again. I have no idea who he is but I'm truly enjoying his song despite the repititive annoying airplay.
