I Miss You by Incubus

I'll just say what i feel as of the moment. I really miss you. I miss sending you text messages, I miss your replies. I miss watching movies with you. I miss looking at you when you're looking somewhere else. I miss you telling me your frustrations and how your day goes or how it went. I miss you listening to me... cause you really listened, at least that's how I felt.

To see you when I wake up
is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, Utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you.

I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days, but already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again
whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care
and I miss you.

Piece of This by P.O.T.

A great song from one of the better bands to come out of the country. Too bad they only had one album. I just love listening to this song. The song starts of a sad mood, then I sense a feeling of redemption upon the end part of the song.

Farewell to my friends,
Thought I'd leave you all behind
My time is running
And I'm about to lose my mind again.

Now and then, I tremble all over
But I will carry the load upon my shoulder
But I know this could all be over
If only I could open my eyes

Is it loneliness?
Maybe emptiness?
Maybe melancholy?
Have a piece of this

Now I see the sunlight shining through
There's no reason to feel blue, but,
Now I know I'm going down,
I look all around me and laugh like a clown

Now and then, I tremble all over
But I will carry the load upon my shoulder
But I know this could all be over
If only I could open my eyes

Is it loneliness?
Maybe emptiness?
Maybe melancholy?
Have a piece of this

Can anybody help me when I'm down?
And everybody says i'm just a clown,
But now I know love will stick around
Cause I've been lost and found.

Now I see the sunlight shining through
There's no reason to feel blue, but,
When I know I'm going down,
I look all around me, know i won't frown

Now and then, I tremble all over
But I will carry the load upon my shoulder
But I know this could all be over
If only I could open my eyes

No more loneliness
No more emptiness
No more melancholy baby
Have a piece of this

Everyday I Love You by Boyzone

I was browsing thru my record collection and checked that I haven't logged this song in the blog. As far as I remember this was one of the last songs that Boyzone released before going a long hiatus. The title of the song says it all I guess. Good thing's boy bands exists, because they somehow are able to sing about things I really can't say for myself.

I don't know but I believe
That some things are meant to be
And that you'll make a better me
Everyday I love you

I never thought that dreams came true
But you showed me that they do
You know that I learn somethng new
Everyday I love you

Cause I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul.

It's a touch when I feel bad
It's a smile when I get mad
All the little things I am
Everyday I love you

Everyday I love you boy
Everyday I love you
'Cos I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul

If I asked would you say yes?
Together we're the very best
I know that I am truly blessed
Everyday I love you
And I'll give you my best
Everyday I love you

Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty

I feel stupid today, that I somehow tweeted that I Feel Stupid.. and thus I remembered one of my favored songs from the the 2nd Matchbox Twenty album that shares the same title as the song.

I feel stupid - but I know it won't last for long
I've been guessing - and I coulda been guessin' wrong
You don't know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down?

Well I feel stupid, but it's something that comes and goes
I've been changin' - I think it's funny how no one knows
We don't talk about the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around

So why you gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now?
It seems to me you'd come around
I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken
I come undone in this mad season

I feel stupid, but I think I been catchin' on
I feel ugly, but I know I still turn you on
You've grown colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
Will that whole mad season knock you down?

So are you gonna stand there
Are you gonna help me out?
We need to be together now
I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken
I come undone in this mad season

And now I'm cryin'
Isn't that what you want?
And I'm tryin' to live my life on my own
But I won't, no,
At times I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I, I, I feel stupid
And I come undone
And I come undone

I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken though I've never spoken

Well I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - I'm a child and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken though I've never spoken
I come undone
I come undone in this mad season

In this mad season
It's been a mad season
Been a mad season

Ang Huling El Bimbo by The Eraserheads

For a while, I was already tired of this song... I even considered it already of the novelty variety. However when I listening to it recently, I just realized that this song is really a genius piece of music. Out of all the Eraserheads songs... this may probably the greatest song of them all. Everyone has their own version of Paraluman.

Kamukha mo si Paraluman
No'ng tayo ay bata pa
At ang galing-galing mong sumayaw
Mapa-Boogie man o Chacha

Ngunit ang paborito
Ay pagsayaw mo ng El Bimbo
Nakakaindak, nakakaaliw
Nakakatindig balahibo

Pagkagaling sa 'skwela ay didiretso na sa inyo
At buong maghapon ay tinuturuan mo ako

Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay-malay
Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay

Naninigas aking katawan
'Pag umikot na ang plaka
Patay sa kembot ng bewang mo
At pungay ng 'yong mga mata

Lumiliwanag ang buhay
Habang tayo'y magkaakbay
At dahan-dahang dumudulas
Ang kamay ko sa makinis mong braso, hooh

Sana noon pa man ay sinabi na sa iyo, hoh
Kahit hindi na uso ay ito lang ang alam ko

Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay-malay
Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay

La la la la, la la, la la, la la la

Lumipas ang maraming taon
'Di na tayo nagkita
Balita ko'y may anak ka na
Ngunit walang asawa

Tagahugas ka raw
Ng pinggan sa may Ermita
At isang gabi'y nasagasaan
Sa isang madilim na eskinita, hah

Lahat ng pangarap ko'y bigla lang natunaw
Sa panaginip na lang pala kita maisasayaw

Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay-malay
Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay

La la la la, la la, la la, la la la

My Stupid Mouth by John Mayer

I just tried to relearn this song on bass tonight. Listening and reading through the lyrics made me realized that this is just like how the past 2 days have gone for me. I'm too stupid to be persistent to continue to try to talk to you... to the point that I'm already frustrating you. Yes sir, you may start calling me Captain Backfire.

My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change


Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon


We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly, An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what JUST slipped out and what went wrong


Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one


I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me


Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now... Starting now


One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire


I'm never speaking up again
it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
than she desert me


oh i'm never speaking up again
i'm never speaking up again
i'm never speaking up again
Starting now, starting now...

Not My Kinda Scene by Powderfinger

I remember this is one of the songs I really enjoyed from the Mission: Impossible 2 soundrack, which was led of by Limp Bizkit. We didn't have an audio system at that time, so I listened to this CD, which I won from my brother from a bet, from his Playstation.

Tell me where I'm
Supposed to begin
An unhappy life working
Some kind of dead end job
For everything you thought you had
Has gone from worse to bad

Lean to the side
Whisper it quiet
The end is in sight to working
All night around the clock
For everything you thought you had
has gone from worse to bad

But it's not my kind of scene oh yeah
Footprints on the other side
Remind me where I've been oh yeah
I'll watch from the other side

Tell me where I'm
Supposed to begin
Move out of sight and onto
Some life I'm dreaming of
For everything you thought you had
Has gone from worse to bad
So I'll just wait and watch the wheels
While you're turning back

But it's not my kind of scene oh yeah
Footprints on the other side
Remind me where I've been oh yeah
I'll watch from the other side

It pulls me over and it drags me under
It pulls me over and it drags me under

tell me where I'm
supposed to begin
an unhappy life working

Alright now alright now
Alright now alright now

But it's not my kind of scene oh yeah
Footprints on the other side
Remind me where I've been oh yeah
I'll watch from the other side
Alright now alright now
I'll watch from the other side
Alright now alright now
I'll watch from the other side

Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart

I believe this song is one of the best love songs out there... and I just found out that it was originally written and performed by Van Morrision. Kudos to Rod Stewart to introducing me to this song!

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun in all it's glory,
Meets the day with hope and comfort too,
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love less defined,
And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To the one, to the one.

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.
There's a love less defined,
And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To the one, to the one.

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Good Love Is On the Way by John Mayer

This is John Mayer's way of telling me (us), that there's somewhat a chance for me, that Good Love is on the Way. Unless he wrote this song only for himself. This song was played by JM as John Mayer Trio with Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan.

I'm a lazy lover
Undercover
Wasting time
Then one day this summer
I changed my number
To cut my line

Good love is on the way
I been lonely but I know, I'll be ok
Good love is on the way

3 years broken hearted
But now her ghost is finally gone
I'm done with broken people
This is me
I'm working on (cause I know)

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know, I'll be ok
Good love is on the way

Good to go for wherever I'm needed
Bags are packed and I'm
Down by the door
You can take all the tricks up my sleeve
I don't need them anymore

Good to go for wherever I'm needed
Bags are packed and I'm
Down by the door
You can take all the tricks up my sleeve
I don't need them anymore

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know I'll be ok
Good love is on the way
Oh, Good love is on the way, hey

Hey There Delilah by Plain White Ts

This is a great song from The Plain White T's about a girl and promises made. I like songs written for a very specific girl.

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

It's Over Now by Neve

One of the cool songs that came from The Faculty soundtrack that my older brother bought around 1999. This is the only song by Neve that I'm familiar of, I never owned a copy of any of their albums.

She comes up and over time
She'll see what I could be
A cold routine or something
That just won't stop touching me
And I wait here another time
Like a thousand times before
I'm dropping out and fading
But I keep on wanting more

She comes up another time
And she really really doesn't care
That I can't keep time or the rhythm straight
'Cause it's one thing she don't dare
And it's alright I drop the line
Now it's one thing to be free
Well I never really had a thing for that
But it's everything I need

And you don't ever understand
It's right here in our hands
The outline of our lives
It's over now

And she wakes up from a deeper sleep
A nightmare through and through
She won't stop trippin' on the day time vibe
But that's one thing i won't do
Then it's over and back again
And she's still on the attack
But I'm convinced I've found a reason
To keep her coming back

And you don't ever understand
It's right here in our hands
The outline of our lives
It's over now

You won't ever be happier
Until you find that special place where you belong
And you won't ever be happier
Until you find that only way
Until you find the only way back home

And you don't ever understand
It's right here in our hands
The outline of our lives
It's over now

It's over now
It's over now

Para Hindi Ka Mawala by Rico Blanco

One my favorite songs from Rico Blanco's debut album. This sent a note to a very special person and this song reminds me of her.

Lately
Parang absent sa iyong mata'ng
Kislap na dati'y automatic
Kapag ako'y nakikita

Maybe
Wala ka lang sa mood o di kaya
Pagod kaya hindi ko na
Bini-bring up sa'yo

Kapag ako ay nangulit
Baka ka lang ma irita
Pag nag makaawa
Baka ka ma suka

Ano ba'ng dapat kong gawin
Ano na'ng dapat kong gawin
Para hindi ka mawala sa akin

Ano ba'ng dapat kong gawin
Ano ba'ng dapat kong gawin
Para hindi ka mawala
Para hindi ka mawala

Sometimes
Medyo nakakainis nga 'ko
Alam ko yan, nagsisikap nga 'kong magbago
Dahil
Mahal na mahal na mahal kita
I always pray to God to keep you near
Never ever disappear

Pag diniscuss ko pa
Ma wi-weird-an ka lang
Pag nag-emote ako
Lalo kang tatabang

Can't Hardly Wait by The Replacements

This is the song from which the one of my favorite teen movies got it's title from. I saw and fell in love with the movie even before becoming a Replacements fan.

I just love how Paul Westerberg writes songs. Simple, funny, truthful and bears weight

I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a crack in the drapes

Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff
Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes

See you're high and lonesome
Try and try and try

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a hole in the drapes
I'll be home when I'm sleeping
I can't hardly wait

I can't wait. Hardly wait.

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2

Great song by a great band.

As for how i can relate to it, the title says it all.

I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like a fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Oh my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Somewhere in the Middle by Nine Sky Wonder

What makes this song cool is that you're going to like this song on the basis of it being a well written and well made song. Practically no one knows who Nine Sky Wonder is. A search in google would just point you to this same song. The bass on this song was played by legendary session bassist Leland "Lee" Sklar.

Hey there beautiful
I can't help but look
Your way
Hey let's take it slow
I'm not one to go
Too fast

I'm drawn to your innocence
I'm drawn

Every time you look at me and smile
I fall in just a little
I can't tell between my heart and mind
I'm somewhere in the middle

You make everything so enchanting
Like a fairy tale
I guess I should say
I am so afraid of this

I'm scared of letting go
Don't wanna be alone

Every time you look at me and smile
I fall in just a little
I can't tell between my heart and mind
I'm somewhere in the middle

In my dreams
In my prayers
In my soul
Wish that I had more control
I don't think I'm ready yet
Everytime I take a step
Wanting more to be with you
I'm drawn to you

Every time you look at me and smile
I fall in just a little
I can't tell between my heart and mind
I'm somewhere in the middle

Walang Kapalit by Peryodiko

This song is best heard and seen live. Seeing and hearing Kakoi Legazpi have total control of the guitar is just a sight to be hold, Vin Dancel ain't a bad vocalist and front man either, while the rhythm section holds it tight.

Ang galing talaga, especially the screaming guitars at the ending.

Wag na malungkot..hindi naman kailangan na ganito..
Ang lahat ay may hangganan..nakatali sa pinagmulan

Ang pait ng ngayon ay bahagi ng kaligayahan ng kahapon..
Wag kalimutan mga masayang sandali..

Wag mag-alala kung ang iba'y nananatili sa nakaraan..
At ang iba’y aalis dahil sa kasalukuyan..
Pag-ibig ay duyan, at madalas pag-tuonan ang pait lang ng ngayon..
Di na nabibilang, napag-iisipan mga masayang sandali ng kahapon

Ito na ang huli..
At di mo na mababawi..
Pilitin man ay di na kayang pigilin ang ihip ng hangin..
Ito man ang huling gabing ng ating pagsasama..
Ang bukas ay nag-aabang na...

Napapangiti ka pa ba ng ulan?...
May pangarap bang walang dahilan?..

Ito na ang huli..
At di mo na mababawi..
Pilitin man ay di na kayang pigilin ang ihip ng hangin..
Ito man ang huling gabing ating pagsasama..
Ang bukas ay nag-aabang na...

Masaya by Bamboo

Somehow this song explains how I feel, May 2 - May 9, I'll try to move on na lang

Ako'y malungkot na naman,
Amoy chico na ako
Ilang tagay na hindi pa rin tulog
Tanong ko lang sa langit kung bakit pumangit
Ang dating masaya ngayon panay problema
Bumabalot sa mundo
Bakit ganito ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga,
Pag bago kang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga masaya

Pag ka gising ko,
Nakita ko si Juan
Na syang adik sa aming lugar
Parang droga daw ang bisa na
Ginamit nya kanina
Sa una rang daw masarap
Ang pagibig
Ganyan talaga
Ako'y nilamon ng pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya

Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Ako'y nilamon na ng pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga masaya

Underneath It All by No Doubt

This is really the song that made me a fan of No Doubt's music and it help me in better appreciation of the reggae groove.

There's times where I want something more
Someone more like me
There's times when this dress rehearsal
Seems incomplete
But, you see the colors in me like no one else
And behind your dark glasses you're...
You're something else

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely

You know some real bad tricks
And you need some discipline
But, lately you've been trying real hard
And giving me your best
And, you give me the most gorgeous sleep
That I've ever had
And when it's really bad
I guess it's not that bad

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely

So many moons that we have seen
Stumbling back next to me
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
Better... better...

Lady Saw:
You are my real Prince Charmin'
Like the heat from the fire
You were always burnin'
And each time you're around
My body keeps stalin'
For your touch
Your kisses and your sweet romancin'
There's an underside to you
That so many adore
Aside from your temper
Everything else secure
You're good for me, baby
Oh that, I'm sure
Over and over again
I want more

Gwen:
You've used up all your coupons
And all you've got left is me
And somehow I'm full of forgiveness
I guess it's meant to be

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lovely
Underneath it all
And you're really lovely

Married With Children by Oasis

I really can't decide on which Oasis album would be the best for me. This song helps the case for the debut album, Definitely Maybe. It just sounds special, a song that would stand the test of time, without being too-Oasis for some unlike the main stream songs from the (What's the Story?) Morning Glory and Be Here Now album.

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye I'm going home

I hate the way that even though you
Know you're wrong you say you're right
I hate the books you read and all your friends
Your music's shite it keeps me up all night

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye I'm going home

I hate the way that you are so sarcastic
And you're not very bright
You think that everything you've done's fantastic
Your music's shite it keeps me up all night

And it will be nice to be alone
For a week or two
But I know that I will be
Right back here with you

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye I'm going home

I hate the way that even though you
Know you're wrong you say you're right
I hate the books you read and all your friends
Your music's shite it keeps me up all night

Talk Shows on Mute by Incubus

To be honest, I feel that I haven't written about a lot of Incubus. I have a feeling that I shouldn't talk about this band that much and much of their songs, I just don't know why.

This band has never failed me with all of their releases. I'm not much of an Incubus addict compared to when I was still in college, but I still regard them as one of the best bands out there in terms of lyrics and sonic territory.

Talk Shows on Mute is one of the radio-ready songs in the A Crow Left of The Murder album. I like the synth-like part at the start of the song that follows the guitar. Just overall a solid song that I would listen to at days when I don't feel good about myself.

Take a bow, pack on powder,
Wash 'em out with buzzing lights,
Pay an audience to care,
'Impress me' personality.

Still and transfixed,
The electric sheep are dreaming of your face.
Enjoy you from the chemical,
Comfort of America.

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eighty-four
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, Camera, Transaction

Quick, your time is almost up.
Make all forget that they're the moth,
Edging in towards the flame,
Burn into obscurity.

Still and transfixed,
The electric sheep are dreaming up your fate.
And judge you from the card castle,
Comfort of America.

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eighty-four
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, Camera... yeah.

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eighty-four
Yeah, three, two one
Lights, Camera, Transaction

Lights, Camera, Transaction

Come one, come all

Your foundation is canyoning,
Fault lines should be worn with pride.
I hate to say you're so much more.
You're so much more
Endearing with the sound turned off.
