three songs, two days

Part Yellow, Part Me Gustas Tu Wednesday


Yellow, because i went on the Sea Link, and it is absolutely the best song to play when you're driving towards this glistening-in-the-sun, reflecting-in-the-water island city, with rows of buildings waiting for you as you whip across the sea.

Look at the stars
and how they shine for you
and everything you do
yeah, they're all yellow.

Coldplay rocks this song.

Also Manu Chao because Me Gustas Tu is the sunniest happiest song ever. The lyrics go all easy and amazingly child-like.

I like airplanes, I like you
I like to fly, I like you
I like the morning
I like the wind, I like you
I like dreaming, I like you
I like the sea, I like you.


With Or Without You Thursday


What can I say? From the happiest to the most haunting song ever. I first heard this song in grainy Grammy was the only thing on TV time. And if I ever had to do a top three, even today With Or Without You would feature in that list.

See the stone set in your eyes.
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

Woo hoo. Watch and shout along.

And, thanks for all the cool stuff you guys said about Project Dress to a Song. But I'm totally bored with it for the moment. And so back to the blog, without having to take pictures every morning. Phew. Been late to work every single day.

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I wait without you
My hands are tied my body bruised
Got me with nothing to win and nothing left to loose
And you give yourself away
and you give ,and you give and you give yourself away...
with or without you
Just kept humming and typing.I was in 10th standard when I got hooked to this one .The memories kept coming back.
Thanks for bringing up one of the greatest songs ever !
