i’ve been a fan of jason mraz from the day i got myself a copy of his waiting for my rocket to come. from the new releases section of tower records, i picked his cd having been intrigued by the album title. since i promised myself 2 new cds a month and to explore new sounds,  i bought a copy. to date, this is the only cd i listen end to end religiously. i like how the tracks are arranged, progressing and slowing down like the emotional wreck that i am.  immediately i got a liking to the song no stopping us. lately i’ve listening  heavily to you and i both listed as my most listened track in itunes. i think it’s my need to connect to other people and share my life. beside from those 2 songs, the entire album simply hugs your ear and give your that warm fuzzy feeling, i enjoy his songs tremendously.

i just bought his 3rd album, we sing, we dance, we steal things. yes, it’s really good as it claims to be. the carrier single i’m yours have this island feel from the ukulele accompaniment and from the way he sang it. it’s as if he was whispering to my ear, telling me to surrender to love. i’m yours! i give up! he is one of those underrated artists. he deserve more hurrah compared to britney spears but in today’s fanaticism, sensationalism and false glamour, we put more premium to the person rather than the talent. i really hope that he does well so i can listen to more beautiful music and cool lyrics.

i think apple is losing its touch. design do recycle but not at least 20 years before doing so. the nano before (3rd generation) was amazing, aesthetics was a a step above, even the latest shuffle. this is same old nano (2nd generation) with a bigger screen. nothing spectacular. but of course knowing steve jobs, he’ll be able to sell this, he can sell anything!

am not a wine person with the exception sparkling wine and shiraz, so with a glass of apple flavored tropicana, lulling the night with some chillout music. i’m trying to attract positive aura.

so why admit now? well they have great songs, makes you feel giddy and jiggy, makes you wanna sing along but not burst into song and dance like hairspray. and walking along espana to the nearest mcdo, ipod on shuffle, i heard the song, and brought back memories and faint smile.

i hope this puts a smile on your face. [download here]

i first got hooked with her after listening to the affection album, all around the world. i don’t know why but until now i love this song. the beat is just perfect and easy on the ears, it doesn’t lull me to sleep but doesn’t make me jump around and start shaking my ass. the lyrics is just as inspiring as she sings it with a hint of jazz. but my favorite of all her album that i have (i have her first 4) is the lisa stansfield. her music has matured and she just glow. my favorite cuts in this album are never, never gonna give you up and real thing. may sound cheesy but i like how the songs talk about love and and not letting it go. though most of her sound is about love, but these 2 combined with infectious melody and good lyrics stood out.

i miss the old times when they release 4-8 singles per album as oppose to today’s 3 singles per album.

it’s sad but that’s reality. the bright side of it is, reality doesn’t have to be. we are in a position to affect and effect changes. it might sound bull straight up from some inspirational shit head selling positivity, but it’s the truth. i really believe that everyone can do it. our collective small contributions to peace will pave way to having a world were conflict is a thing of the past. if we open our hearts and listen, if we take time to hear each other, there would be no war, no famine, no conflicts…

I see this one day
When all the world will hear us
That someday when all will stand before us
Singing one song together
Everywhere singing
We are gonna love you people of the world
We are gonna make you a better world
We will all respect you people of the world
We are gonna make you a better world

yes, i do believe in world peace. promising that this blog will become earth friendly; power to the universe!

If I were a flower growing wild and free
All I’d want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I were a tree growing tall and green
All I’d want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I’d be the snow
As long as you were with me, let the cold wind blow

If you were a wink, I’d be a nod
If you were a seed, I’d be a pod.
If you were the floor, I’d wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I’d be a hug

If you were the wood, I’d be the fire.
If you were the love, I’d be the desire.
If you were a castle, I’d be your moat,
if you were an ocean, i‘d learn to float [download here]
