Day 11: A song from my favourite band

I mixed and matched this one a bit! I've put up my favourite song from a band. It makes it more personal. Why would I want to put up a random song from my favourite band. Most likely my favourite song IS from my favourite band!

So I pick



I think this song is legendary! And when I put this video up I realised that the 'vulgar' inappropriate words have been beeped out!

Haha! Everybody has a beep-dealer on speed dial. I like how drug has been beeped out but it's alright to have "Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me"

Wow that makes it so much funnier! It's got a good tune and it's got good lyrics. More importantly though...it says so much about the industry. Nickelback are pretty good but really...almost anyone can be a rock star now! With the rubbish song on the charts. Paris Hilton for crying out loud! BAH!! It makes me angry but then again it also makes me want to be a rock star. And why not yea? Why would I not want to live in hilltop houses and drive 15 cars. That would be sweet!

Anyway, I do love this song. And it makes me smile because for the longest time I sang zoozoo instead of Whose who. No matter. I'll also be a rock-star one day and no one will care!

Day 10 (or perhaps 45!) : A song that makes me fall asleep

Yes this song makes me fall asleep but in the most beautiful way possible. It’s far from being a boring song but perhaps when I am sleepy already, it soothes me further. It’s like a lullaby which I reckon even Ben Folds sang to his daughter Gracie.

I must also admit that the song makes me cry sometimes because it’s so sweet. And I for one can’t wait to sing it to my little girl someday. Oh such simple, poignant lyrics…they seem so much more real and touching than all those rappy rhymey ones.

“One day you're going to want to go
I hope we taught you everything you need to know
Gracie girl…my little girl.”



That is the most adorable and sweet thing a parent can say in my opinion. And luckily my parents are exactly the same with me. I think that is also the reason I like it so much.

This is not the original video but it is the original song. So enjoy it while I tuck myself into bed and dream about my little Gracies!


PS – Thanks to Nick Flegg for introducing me to this song and for learning to play it on the piano for me! X

Day 09: A song I can dance to

Ah with out batting and eyelid I can say MICHAEL JACKSON SONGS! That though means putting up hundreds of songs! So I picked my favourite of the whole lot to dance to atleast.

It's not the original but hey the KING is the KING

Day 08: A song you know all the words to

This 30 days has really gone on longer than it should! But the problem with this particular 'day' is that I know the words to far too many songs and I can't pick a single one. I'd pick most of Bon Jovi, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, Bryan Adams, Joshua Radin, Michael Jackson, Elvis quite a few.

So after much thinking...



That is what I picked. And not only do I know the words to it. I sometimes write my own depending on my mood!

Day 07: A song that reminds you of a certain event

Hmm...so many events and so many memories!

But I think it would have to be Country Road. Not because it was an actual event but when the nights were cool and the days were warm and the skies were starry, Mum, Dad, my sister and my uncle and I would sit out in the garden singing songs. And that tradition began when I was about 3 and now I'm 23.



That song was the one we all knew the words backwards and forwards and it had to be sung every time we had a sing song session.

Simple times now seem so far...they used to be in my back yard!
