Christmas Music

I know its still way too early to be thinking about Christmas but mom used to say that when the "ber" months starts then it's time to start the countdown for Christmas, September is near just a few winks away and here I am scouring the net for free Christmas music downloads, am sure something will turn up and they'll eventually grow in number as the holiday season approaches. I just want my player to be updated and in tune with the season. A good friend did mention that it'd be great to get a hold of some Christmas Rock downloads and not just the regular classic hymns we've grown up to and I kinda agree with him, but I tell him rock or not so long as they're free Christmas music I'd be ever grateful.

Looking forward to a blissful holidays ...

Take My Breath Away by Emma Bunton

When Spice Girls were a hit and a household name every girl in my class have their favorite Spice Girl, in my circle of friends I was Baby Spice ... and I do like her that when disbanded I still listen to her solo album. Take My Breath Away is one of my favorites, she looks stunning in the video.

Take My Breath Away by Emma Bunton

If I told you how I feel about you

Would you say the same and

If I wrote it in a letter

Would you keep it or throw it away

I never thought I'd feel the way I'm feeling lately

When everything you seem to do just drives me crazy

Every waking day you take my breath away

With every word you say you take my breath away

You look at me that way, baby come what may

I hope that you'll always know how to take my breath away

How to take my breath away

If you told me how you feel about me

Things I did not know

If you said you'd fill my heart with all your loving

Til it overflowed

I don't know the way you feel but boy I'm hoping

I always used to hide a way, but now I'm open

Every waking day you take my breath away

With every word you say you take my breath away

You look at me that way, baby come what may

I hope that you'll always know how to take my breath away

How to take my breath away

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Every waking day you take my breath away

With every word you say you take my breath away

You look at me that way, baby come what may

I hope that you'll always know how to take my breath away

How to take my breath away

(How to take my breath away)

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

(How to take my breath away)

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Secret Garden by Bruce Springteen

Apart from being a music addict, I also happen to be a hopeless romantic and when this movie was show in 1996, I was 11 years old, I get to watch the movie when I was 15 and this movie probably brought out the hopeless romantic in me ... it made me believe in love and happy endings. So here's Secret Garden by Bruce Springteen ..

Secret Garden by Bruce Springteen

She'll let you in her house

If you come knockin' late at night

She'll let you in her mouth

If the words you say are right

If you pay the price

She'll let you deep inside

But there's a secret garden she hides

She'll let you in her car

To go drivin' 'round

She'll let you into the parts of herself

That'll bring you down

She'll let you in her heart

If you got a hammer and a vise

But into her secret garden, don't think twice

You've gone a million miles

How far'd you get

To that place where you can't remember

And you can't forget

She'll lead you down a path

There'll be tenderness in the air

She'll let you come just far enough

So you know she's really there

Then she'll look at you and smile

And her eyes will say

She's got a secret garden

Where everything you want

Where everything you need

Will always stay

A million miles away

She's So High by Kurt Nilsen

I used to think that nothing beats the original version ... but now am taking that back lol. I prefer Kurt Nilsen's rendition of She's So High, must be the voice. Tal's version is cool but I find it lacks force and power ... but hey thats just my opinion. So I found this video on youtube of Kurt wowing the audience with his performance.

She's So High by Kurt Nilsen

she's blood, flesh and bone

no tucks or silicone

she's touch smell sight taste and sound

but somehow i can't believe that anything should happen

i know where i belong and nothing's gonna happen

cause she's so high

high above me

she's so lovely

she's so high

high above me

like cleopatra, joan of arc, or aphrodite

she's so high

high above me

first class and fancy free

she's high society

she's got the best of everything

what could a guy like me ever really offer

she's perfect as she can be

why should i even bother

cause she's so high

high above me

she's so lovely

she's so high

like cleopatra, joan of arc or aphrodite

she's so high

high above me

she comes to speak to me

i freeze immediately

cause what she says sounds so unreal

but somehow i can't believe that anything should happen

i know where i belong and nothing's gonna happen

'cos she's so high

high above me

she's so lovely

she's so high

like cleopatra, joan of arc or aphrodite

'cos she's so high

high above me

So In Love by Christian Wunderlich

When this guy came over to visit he was compared to another German musician (Gil Ofarim), the press here stated that Gil was way friendlier compared to Christian and that he'll never attain the popularity Gil achieved in Asia. I don't really care whether he's friendly or not all I know is I like this one song of his ... another round of mooshy mushy goodness.

So In Love by Christian Wunderlich

All alone on a nighttrain

Like a stranger on a sinking ship

Will I ever know the secret to your heart

Do you care, am I dreaming

When I reach for you is that burning flame

Just inside of me are we a world apart

Chorus :

I'm so in love, so in love with you

I'm so in love, if you only knew

I'm so in love, I'll never be the same

Cause I'm so in love, I'm so in love with you

Should I dare to entice you

Will a touch of your fingertips, take my heart again

You know it's been so long

Is it wrong how I want you

When it feels so right being close and

Who is to tell me now that all's been said and done

[Chorus]

You, you never understood

And you were gone when our love felt so good

You unchain my heart and set me free

Or tell me that you're gonna be with me

[Chorus] x 3

What You Do About Me by M2M

Remember M2M? Marion Raven and Marit Larsen? I dunno about you but I was 14 when they became a hit internationally and like every other teenage girl I listened to their songs too. This song is off from their second album I think (if am not mistaken, am writing from memory here) right before they disbanded.

What You Do About Me by M2M

I wish that I was her and I wish that she was me

You gotta let her go, and I know that you agree

'Cause how could we ever start?

If you're afraid to break her heart?

You say you love me so

You have to let her go

Chorus

All that she wants is you

All that she sees is you

All that you gotta do

It's set her free

That's what

That's what

What you do about me

Love's not an easy thing

Always somebody gets hurt

I know you were meant for me, even though she saw you first

But deal with her honestly

I won't let you cheat with me

I bet you never knew

What you put yourself into

Chorus

We could beautiful

We could be so special

We could be wonderful

Chorus 2x

I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man by Jordan Knight

I love this song and I love the man!!! lol I was prolly 14 when this song came blasting through MTV and on every radio station here and it's one of those many songs that got stuck in my head all through these years.

I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man by Jordan Knight

Verse 1

Only last June when her old man ran away

She couldn't stop crying cause she knew he was gone to stay

10:35 on a lonely Friday night

She was standing by the fire and ooh she was looking alright

B-Section

I asked her if she wanted to dance

And she said that

All she wanted was a good man

And wanted to know

If I thought I was qualified

Chorus

And I said baby don't waste your time

I know what's on your mind

I may be qualified for a one night stand

But I could never take the place of your man

Verse 2

It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes

He was all she ever had and now she wanted to die

He left her with a baby and another one on the way

She couldn't stop crying cause she knew he was gone to stay

B-Section

She asked me if we could be friends

And I said oh honey baby that's a dead end

You know and I know

That we wouldn't be satisfied

Chorus

And I said baby don't waste your time

I know what's on your mind baby

Wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand

And I could never take the place of your man

(Chorus out)

Lets take a look at the video and reminisce ...

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

This song was a hit during the year 1992 and truth be told I was 7 years old at that time. Our next door neighbor has 3 sons whose youngest was 10 years older than I am and they had this song playing every now and then at full volume. The song's entitled Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

Call you up in the middle of the night

Like a firefly without a light

You were there like a blow torch burnin'

I was a key that could use a little turnin'

So tired that I couldn't even sleep

So many secrets I couldn't keep

Promised myself I wouldn't weep

One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now

I'm in too deep

There's no way out

This time I have really led myself astray

[Chorus]

Runaway train never goin back

Wrong way on a one way track

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile

Make it somehow all seem worthwhile

How on earth did I get so jaded

Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go

I know what no one else knows

Here I am just drownin' in the rain

With a ticket for a runaway train

And Everything seems cut and dry

Day and night, earth and sky

Somehow I just don't believe it

[Chorus]

Bought a ticket for a runaway train

Like a madman laughin' at the rain

Little outta touch, little insane

Just easier than dealin with the pain

[Chorus]

Runaway train never comin' back

Runaway train tearin' up the track

Runaway train burnin' in my veins

I runaway but it always seems the same

What Good Is A Heart by Code Red

This boy band was very popular here in the country some time in 1998 and 1999, every radio station in the country had their songs on the roll. It started with "This Is Our Song" which went topping the radion count downs for weeks and then a couple other more but this one is one of my absolute favorite from the group. So might I ask, what good is a heart, if you're not gonna use it ...

What Good Is A Heart by Code Red

I told you how I felt

I told you what it meant

But I still haven't changed your mind

I know that you're afraid,

You're frightened of the pain

But you can let down your guard

Cause when we run, we hide

We deny what's inside

Chorus

What good is a heart, if you're not gonna use it?

What good is your love, if you're too scared to choose it?

If your heart is beating, then it's for a reason

If you're not even willing to start, what good is a heart?

Don't make the same mistake that people often make

And miss out on a chance for love

You've got to make your move, you've got to make it soon

Cuz you're dying inside

Cuz I'm a man, but I cry

I have fears, I won't lie

Chorus

Come on baby, you know it

Girl anyone who looks can see that I'm right

There's a chance, we should take it

Or regret it for the rest of our lives

Chorus

The songs playing on my notebook depends on the mood am in ... right now I seem to be tripping down memory lane .. around late 90's that is.

Internet

An old friend of mine living somewhere in the Mississippi area are in the process of getting one of those hughs broadband satellite internet package anytime within the week. It has been difficult for them actually to get internet connection as satalite internet in Forest Lake, Mississippi is still a bit rare the moment. Communicating with her has been tough we relied heavily on mobile phone calls which are rather by the way pretty expensive and then the power of text messaging which still is expensive.

I was hoping that with the advanced power of telecommunications we'd be able to take advantage of the power of yahoo messenger, instant messagin or skype and all that but unfortunately ever since their move to Mississippi we haven't been able to communicate via the internet. I was told that the internet company they're gonna subscribe to offers competitive rate bundled with a decent speed. She's as excited as I am and hopefully bebfore the month ends we'll be able to go back to the way things were before their move.

Old School | Dawson's Creek

This was first aired when I was in freshmen High School and it got everybody addicted (when I say everybody, I mean all the girls) but back then we don't have any television and Dawson's Creek was aired every Monday night at 8AM and our neighbors don't watch it because it's in English and they'd rather watch something in our native tongue.

I saw bits and pieces of the series but not all the seasons and with the power of Ebay am able to acquire the entire seasons in DVD and now am watching it. Episode by episode, season per season and it reminds me of high school. Another trip down memory lane here.

So here's the track at the opening of the series:

I Don't Want To Wait by Paula Cole

so open up your morning light

and say a little prayer for right

you know that if we are to stay alive

and see the peace in every eye

she had two babies

one was six months one was three

in the war of '44

every telephone ring

every heartbeat stinging

when thought it was God calling her

oh would her son grow to know his father

CHORUS:

i don't want to wait

for our lives to be over

i want to know right now

what will it be

i don't want to wait

for our lives to be over

will it be yes or will it be

sorry

he showed up all wet

on the rainy front step

wearing shrapnel in his skin

and the war he saw

lives inside him still

it's so hard to be gentle and warm

the years passed by and now

he has a granddaughter

chorus

oh so you look at me

from across the room

you're wearing your anguish again

believe i know the feeling

it sucks you into the jaws of anger

oh, so breathe a little more deeply my love

all we have is the very moment

and i don't want to do what

his father and his father and his father did

i want to be here now

so open up your morning light

and say a little prayer for I

you know that if we are to stay alive

and see the peace in every eye

chorus (2 times)

so open up your morning light

and say a little prayer for right

you know that if we are to stay alive

and see the love in every eye

Scotty Doesn't Know by Lustra

I just watched Eurotrip another teen movie which stars Michelle Trachtenberg (she played Dawn in Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Scott Mechlowicz, Jacob Pitts, Kristen Kreuk and Matt Damon on cameo. Now there's this song playing at the graduation party scene where Donny (Matt Damon) the vocalist of a college band played a song which described in detail what he and Fiona (Scotty's ex-girlfriend) have been doing behind Scott's back. The song is called "Scotty Doesn't Know" and it's by the band named Lustra.

Scotty Doesn't Know by Lustra

Scotty doesn't know that Fiona

And me do it in my van every Sunday

She tells him she's in church but

She doesn't go

Still she's on her knees and

Scotty doesn't know

Oh Scotty doesn't know-oh

So don't tell Scotty

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

(So don't tell Scotty!)

Fiona says she's out shoppin'

But she's under me

And I'm not stoppin' 'cause

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

So don't tell Scotty

Scotty doesn't know-oh

(Don't tell Scotty!)

I can't believe he's so trustin',

While I'm right behind you thrustin'

Fiona's got him on the phone

And she's tryin' not to moan

It's a three way call

And he knows nothin', nothin'

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Don't tell Scotty 'cause

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know-oh

So don't tell Scotty

We'll put on a show

Everyone'll go

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

The parking lot, why not

It's so cool when you're on top

His front lawn, in the snow

Life is so hard 'cause

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

I did her on his birthday

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Don't tell scotty

Scotty doesn't know-oh

Scotty will know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty's gotta know

I'm gonna tell Scotty

I'll tell him myself

Scotty has to know

Scotty has to know

Scotty has to

Scotty has to

Scotty has to go

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know (Don't Tell Scotty!)

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know (Don't Tell Scotty, Scotty doesn't know)

Scotty doesn't

Scotty doesn't

Scotty doesn't know

Backup, ad-libbed until end:

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Just The Girl by The Click Five

I was way behind the music scene when this band became a hit here ... I have no idea where I was but there songs were playing just about every radio station you could tune in to and I never was interested, I must have been stuck in another dimension or something till I saw this movie

familiar? The movie stars Brittany Snow, Jesse Metcalfe, Ashanti, Arielle Krebbel, Sophia Bush and Penn Badgely. One of the movie's soundtrack is entitled "Just The Girl" by The Click Five and I liked it so I came to know more about the band and the fact that they've visited the country ... oh am so behind. Lol

Just The Girl by The Click Five

She's cold and she's cruel

But she knows what she's doin'

She pushed me in the pool at our last school reunion

She laughs at my dreams

But I dream about her laughter

Strange as it seems

She's the one I'm after

Cause she's bittersweet

She knocks me off of my feet

And I can'help myself, I don't want anyone else

She's a mystery

She's too much for me

But I keep comin' back for more

She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

She can't keep a secret for more than an hour

She runs on 100 proof attitude power

And the more she ignores me

The more I adore her

What can I do?

I'd do anything for her

Cause she's bittersweet

She knocks me off of my feet

And I can't help myself I dont want anyone else

She's a mystery

She's too much for me

But I keep comin' back for more

She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

But when she sees it's me

On her caller ID

She won't pick up the phone

She'd rather be alone

But I can't give up just yet

'Cause every word she's ever said

Still ringin' in my head

Still ringin' in my head

She's cold and she's cruel

But she knows what she's doin'

Knows just what to say

So my whole day is ruined

'Cause she's bittersweet

She knocks me off of my feet

And I can't help myself, I don't want anyone else

She's a mystery

She's too much for me

But I keep comin' back for more

'Cause she's bittersweet

She knocks me off of my feet

And I can't help myself

I don't want anyone else

She's a mystery

She's too much for me

But I keep comin' back for more

Oh, I keep comin' back for more

She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

Just the girl I'm lookin' for

I'm lookin' for

I'm lookin' for

I'm lookin' for

Just the girl I'm lookin' for
