tracklist: july

i am one person who can never live without music in my life. a true believer that there’s always a perfect song out that that represents your emotions at any moment when words fail you. often, we may hear a song at random which sends chills down our spine, warms your heart, speaks your soul but we just let it slip by. such a waste. and so i have decided to consolidate a tracklist every week of songs that gives me the tingles (:
1. OneRepublic – Good Life
a happy song that makes me want to whistle along.
2. Tyler Ward and the Co – Heartbeat
tyler ward is one of the most popular youtube singers and he does really awesome covers. here’s one of his original songs that i really like.
3. Demi Lovato – Skyscrapper
I’m alright with Demi Lovato but 2 of her songs that really caught my attention is “Don’t forget” and this. This song reflects our internal struggles quite aptly.
4. Adele – Set fire to the Rain
Adele is one of my fav female singers and this is such a perfect painful heartbreak song.
5. The xx – xx
The xx is an indie band and i love listening to their songs when i’m in a quiet environment. It has this calm, soothing with a tingle of melancholic feel. Some of my favs are intro, crystallized, and infinity.

enjoy!

forever young

Let’s dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don’t have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music’s for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we’re getting in tune
The music’s played by the madman

Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don’t they stay young
It’s so hard to get old without a cause
I don’t want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn’t happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

The Musical fountain in Plaça d’Espanya was definitely a highlight on my Barcelona trip. I was literally blown away as the water danced along with all the classic hits. And when “forever young” was played, i was overwhelmed with emotions.

The song says it all. I wished i could be young forever. To see the world. To experience life. To discover myself.

Thank you Barcelona, you have been amazingly kind and friendly and i’ve enjoyed every moment spent with you =)
