30 Day Song Challenge (13) A Song That Is A Guilty Pleasure

The awesome inspiration

Day 13. Guilty pleasures. I had trouble picking songs, not because I have so many songs that are a guilty pleasure, but the DEFINITION (sigh, Psychologists!) of songs that are a guilty pleasure. What constitutes a song that is a guilty pleasure? Is it the lyrics? Is it a song I am too ashamed to sing out loud? Or is it a song that everyone thinks is uncool, but I totally dig it (like listening to Rebecca Black's Friday? To make up my mind, I decided to go for the lyrics thing, since I'm a lyrics person. And what can be more embarrassing than proclaiming guilty desires?


Matthew Morrison- Summer Rain


Lyrics:

On the rooftop thinkin’ it’s about to pour
People run for shelter, tryin’ to get out that storm
But I got you with me, the sun behind me
So what are we leavin’ for? Let’s stay. Let’s get carried away
Your eyes are beggin’ me to touch you there
Could be a thousand people watchin’ but we don’t care

[Chorus]

But look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers’ lane? Right up on this rooftop, let’s make love in the summer rain

Nothin’ better than givin’ this all to you
And the weather’s only adding to the mood
See the wind’s blowin’, fire’s growin’, both of us soakin’ wet
But let’s stay, yeah. Let’s get carried away
Your eyes are beggin’ me to touch you there
Could be a thousand people watchin’ but we don’t care

[Chorus]

But look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers’ lane? Right up on this rooftop, let’s make love in the summer rain
There’s no place that I’d rather make love to you
Right here on this roof, yeah
Look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers’ lane? Right up on this rooftop, let’s make love in the summer rain
Look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers’ lane? Right up on this rooftop, let’s make love in the summer rain

30 Day Song Challenge (12) A Song From A Band You Hate

UshUsh

Day 12! Hate is a strong word. I don't really HATE them per se, but I do dislike them. I couldn't think of any other bands at the moment. And I dislike this song. It's overplayed. Ick!



Wonder Girls- Nobody Nobody



Lyrics (translated):
TRANSLATION
credits to: ndhas

You know I still love you baby
And it will never change

Chorus
I want nobody, nobody but you
I want nobody, nobody but you
I don’t want anyone else
I can’t have anyone but you
I want nobody nobody, nobody nobody

Why are you trying to push me away? I hate it.
You ignore what I am saying
Why are you trying to send me to other guys?
Why are you doing this?

Saying that this is for my own good
Saying that you are just not enough
Stop it right now, you know me well enough
Why are you forcing what you know I don’t want?

Chorus x2

I’m satisfied, I’m happy
If I have you I don’t want for anything else
Who do you want me to meet and be happy with?
I can’t be happy away from your side

Saying that this is for my own good
Saying that you are just not enough
Why can’t you understand that it makes no sense?
How can I be happy without you?

Chorus x2

I don’t want nobody, body body
I don’t want nobody, body body
Really, if it is not you
I hate it!

Chorus x2

Back to the days
When we were so young
And wild and free
Everything was just like a dream
I want to go back to those times
Why do you keep on pushing me away?
Why do you push me away?
I don’t want nobody, nobody
Nobody nobody but you

Day 11! I LOVE YOU TO BITS, COLDPLAY!!! RAWR! *starts acting like a hormonal teenager*


Coldplay- Yellow


Lyrics:

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called 'Yellow'

So then I took my time
Oh what a thing to've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? You know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? For you I bleed myself dry
For you I bleed myself dry

It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for

Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

30 Day Song Challenge (10) A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep

=D

Day 10. This could actually be in the sad song category, but meh. The song is slow, soft, and calming enough to lull me to sleep. Oh and regarding the video made with the Sims 3, welcome to the world of Machinima.



Sia- I Go to Sleep


Lyrics:

When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you'll always be near to me

I go to sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I look around me
And feel you are ever so close to me
Each tear that flows from my eye
Brings back memories of you to me

I go to sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I was wrong, I will cry
I will love you till the day I die
You were all, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me

When morning comes again
I have the loneliness you left me
Each day drags by
Until finally my time descends on me

I go to sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

30 Day Song Challenge (8) A Song You Know All The Words To

Maybe you like their wall?

You know it's Day 8. Maybe her lyrics are so simple that I can commit to memory, but I know all the words to almost all of her songs. Heck, I even know all the words to Linkin Park songs. Does this mean I have good memory? :P



Avril Lavigne- I Will Be



Lyrics:

There's nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me
All the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know
How far you'd go

I know I let you down but it's not like that now
This time I'll never let you go

I will be all that you want and get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day and make everything okay

I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly
You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe 'cause you're here with me

And if I let you down, I'll turn it all around
'Cause I would never let you go

I will be all that you want and get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
And all my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day and make everything okay

Without you I can't breathe
I'm not gonna ever, ever let you leave
You're all I got, you're all I want, oh
'Cause without you I don't know what I'd do
I can never, ever live a day without you
Here with me, do you see you're all I need?

And I will be, all that you want and get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
And all my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day and make everything okay

I will be all that you want and get myself together
'Cause you keep me from falling apart
And all my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day and make everything okay

30 Day Song Challenge (6) A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere

Wonder what this is?

Day siixxxx! This song reminds me of two places actually. One is Italy, obviously because of the accent the singer possessed. Another is... Langkawi. I was sitting at a Shisha shop with a goat when this song played in the background. Both of us just sat and enjoyed the music. Me and a goat.

The MV is interesting, don't you think?



Yolanda Be Cool & D Cup- Papa Americano



Lyrics:
Originally wanted to post up a translation, but the translations were mixed up so no translation for yous.

Comme te po'
Comme te po'
Comme te po' capì chi te vò bene
Si tu le parle 'mmiezzo americano?
Quando se fa l'ammore sotto 'a luna
Come te vene 'capa e di: "I love you!?"

Pa pa l' americano
Pa pa l' americano
Pa pa l' americano

Pa pa l' americano
Fa fa l' americano

30 Day Song Challenge (5) A Song That Reminds You of Someone

Playing this idea *click*.

Day 5! Now who might this song remind me of...? ;) You know who you are.



The Script- The Man Who Can't Be Moved



Lyrics:
Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you

'cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "Son you can't stay here"
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

[Chorus:]
'cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved

[Chorus 2x]

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move

30 Day Song Challenge (4) A Song That Makes You Sad

Those 30 days.

Day 4! The video is looonnnggg (8 minutes). But every bit of it is worth it (if you would like a little emo emo mood for a while). I think it's the story that makes the song sad for me. Heart wrenching. But either way, lyrics are sad too.



Kiss- Because I'm a Girl



Lyrics:
They are in the video. Just watch it.

30 Day Song Challenge (3) A Song That Makes You Happy

It's the 30 Day Song.

Day 3! I know this doesn't constitutes as an answer. It's the video that makes me happy. However, technically, the video has a song. And if I were to hear this song again anywhere else, I would think of this video, and if I were to remember this video, it would make me happy. THEREFORE, it's a song that indirectly makes me happy!

30 Day Song Challenge (2) Your Least Favourite Song

Playing this idea *click*.

Day 2! What is my least favourite song? Hmm... I was kinda deciding between Justin Bieber's "Baby, Baby" versus this one. I chose this. It was one song I couldn't sit through past 10 seconds the first time hearing it. At least Justin Bieber's song made me wonder for minutes whether it was a girl or a boy singing the song. But this, this is just brain dead. And annoying.



Rebecca Black- Friday



Lyrics:
(Yeah, Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ark)
Oo-ooh-ooh, hoo yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

7am, waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein’ everything, the time is goin’
Tickin’ on and on, everybody’s rushin’
Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends (My friends)

Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

[Chorus]
It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend
Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin’ forward to the weekend

7:45, we’re drivin’ on the highway
Cruisin’ so fast, I want time to fly
Fun, fun, think about fun
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
My friend is by my right
I got this, you got this
Now you know it

Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

[Chorus]

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin’)
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today

Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes after...wards
I don’t want this weekend to end

[Rap Verse]

R-B, Rebecca Black
So chillin’ in the front seat (In the front seat)
In the back seat (In the back seat)
I’m drivin’, cruisin’ (Yeah, yeah)
Fast lanes, switchin’ lanes
Wit’ a car up on my side (Woo!)
(C’mon) Passin’ by is a school bus in front of me
Makes tick tock, tick tock, wanna scream
Check my time, it’s Friday, it’s a weekend
We gonna have fun, c’mon, c’mon, y’all

[Chorus]X2

30 Day Song Challenge (1) Your Favourite Song

I saw this, "30 Day Song Challenge", on Facebook and decided to give it a try. I thought why not post it up here as well? I needed something quick and fun for an update while I waste the time away on the more important stuff (like assignments *makes mental note to self*).

Jack Johnson and his songs have been a recent favourite of mine. I was deciding between this and Banana Pancakes, but then settled for this because the meaning of the lyrics is closest to what I could relate to.



Jack Johnson- Better Together


Lyrics:
There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
But I know that theyll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
for tomorrow night you see
that theyll be gone too,
too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
i was somewhere in between
With only two,
Just me and you,
Not so many things we got to do
or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now,

Yeah It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

Mmmmmmmm

I believe in memories
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
There is no, no song I could sing
and there is no combination of words I could say
but I will still tell you one thing
We're Better together
