I always admire music artists who sing almost perfectly in key during their live performances. Bruno Mars is one of them. Am absolutely in love with this song at the moment and its on repeat at the moment.
Out of curiosity, is it Music Artistes or Artists? Interchangeable?
Just because.
Beautiful song and voice.
One for my mummy. Because I know she blog stalks sometimes 
为什么要对你掉眼泪？你难道不明白为了爱？
只有那有情人，眼泪最珍贵，
一颗颗眼泪都是爱，都是爱!
为什么要对你掉眼泪？你难道不明白为了爱？
要不是有情郎，跟我要分开，
我眼泪不会掉下来，掉下来。
好春才来，春花正开，你怎舍得说再会？
我在深闺望穿秋水，你不要忘了我情深深如海。
为什么要对你掉眼泪？你难道不明白为了爱？
要不是有情郎，跟我要分开，
我眼泪不会掉下来，掉下来。
我眼泪不会掉下来，掉下来。
Leaked track from their first album “Dreaming Out Loud” which was only released on an itunes album pack. Right up my alley with the melancholy, acoustic guitars, cellos and minor chords. Love love LOVE. Enjoy.
Am I the only Jamie Scott/Graffiti 6 fan in Singapore? Surely not. Hope he comes to Singapore again, maybe for a smaller more intimate acoustic session at TAB, now that would be sweet. I feel his strength lies in the more raw acoustic performances. Either way, the album is a pleasure to listen to.
Here’s their album title song “Colours”.

In the past few years I’ve come to apreciate soundtrack music. Not so much the pop soundtracks, but the classical pieces. And the one composer I truly love is Aaron Zigman. He has created many memorable pieces for some of the most emotionally-charged movies out there.
Zigman has an amazing ability to capture on-screen emotions and translate them to beautifully written scores. He especially shines at melancholic arrangements, which is my kind of music – darker and more intense.
Below are movies he has done that I like:
John Q. (2001)
The Notebook (2004)
In the Mix (2005)
Take the Lead (2006)
Step Up (2006)
Bridge to Terabithia (2007)
Good Luck Chuck (2007)
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)
Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium (2007)
Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)
Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)
The Proposal (2009)
My Sister’s Keeper (2009)
The Ugly Truth (2009)
The Last Song (2010)
Sex and the City 2 (2010)
Here’s one of my favourites:
This Canadian-based duo have really got me smiling everyday this week. I’ve been walking to work with this song. Sometimes I’d do a little hop, skip, jig and turn when no one is looking. What a great way to start the day!
Turn up the volume and enjoy!

I love the singer Christina has become. A much more matured soul and singer.
My other favourite songs by her include “Hurt” and “Save Me From Myself”.
Lyrics after the cut
Another reason why I absolutely love John Mayer is the ability to connect with so many of his songs. He is a lyrical and musical genius not to forget comedian. I ought to buy his DVDs, because watching him play is the greatest pleasure of all.
Together with my act of follicle rebellion, this is the song of the month for me.
You’re damn right… who says I can’t do whatever I want…
Who Says
Who says I can’t get stoned
Turn off the lights and the telephone
Me in my house alone
Who says I can’t get stoned
Who says I can’t be free
From all of the things that I used to be
Rewrite my history
Who says I can’t be free
It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long night in Baton Rouge
I don’t remember you looking any better
But then again I don’t remember you
Who says I can’t get stoned
Call up a girl that I used to know
Fake love for an hour or so
Who says I can’t get stoned
Who says I can’t take time
Meet all the girls in the county line
Wait on fate to send a sign
Who says I can’t take time
It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long night in Austin too
I don’t remember you looking any better
But then again I don’t remember you
Who says I can’t get stoned
Plan a trip to Japan alone
Doesn’t matter if I even go
Who says I can’t get stoned
It’s been a long night in New York City
It’s been a long time since 22
I don’t remember you looking any better
But then again I don’t remember you
Hail the king of disco and funk! After a 5-year hiatus, am glad to hear he is back with a new album. Imma be groovin to his new album for sure when it’s released 1 Nov 2010.
And you wonder why I love this guy so much…
A great artiste he is.
But an AMAZING artiste is only as amazing as the team and fans behind him. Watch the beautifully shot video to see the result of a world class team.
Love this teaser and can’t wait to watch the full DVD when it is released.
John Mayer you rock my world.
By recommendation from Jie Jie.
Great ‘pick me up song’ for today! Hur hur hur punny….
Watched this movie about 3 weeks ago. Just felt like a rom-com to cheer me up abit, and of course it did anything but.
I guess it’s hard to see people deliriously happy and in love when you yourself have fallen hard OUT of love, and that was a couple of years ago? How time flies. Fairytale endings are like it is, fairytales. It’s funny how friends and family thought I was the one getting hitched first, and now, I’m seeing everyone else tie the knot and have babies.
This has been the ‘top played’ song on my playlist for weeks… you’ll love it.
♪♬ She’s all kinds of awesomeness, lovin’ the vibe. ♬♪
Don’t try to hide it, I see you tapping your feet and bobbing your head to the choon!

Music video out for Graffiti 6′s “Stare into the Sun”, lead vocals one of my favourites – Jamie Scott from Jamie Scott & The Town who I got a pleasure of meeting at SingFest 2 years back.
Stare into the Sun
Stare into the sun, stare into the sun
I’m gonna stare into the sun, stare into the sun
The ain’t a cloud in the sky, no nothing
I see the birds they fly on something
This is the summer, it’s the summer, full of colour baby
The sun is shining down for lovers
But not for me, it shines for others
You gave me love, babe
Gave me love, babe, now it’s over
I’m feeling blue ’cause love is gone
Guess I lose, but life goes on
I’ve got a few tears to dry
Before these blue shade days are gone
And I can stare into the sun
I’m gonna swim in seas of green, I tell you
I’m gonna run like I’m seventeen, forever
I see a rainbow, purple and gold, but it’s covered
Oh yeah, ’cause there’s a cloud,
she follows me round, wherever
Her last words keep raining down, on shelter
You took your love babe, took your love babe
Now the colors are melt together
I’m feeling blue, ’cause love is gone
I guess I lose, but life goes on
I’ve got a few tears to dry,
before these blue shade days are gone
And I can stare into the sun
Stare into the sun, stare into the sun
I’m gonna stare into the sun, stare into the sun
You gave me love, babe, gave me love, babe
You gave me love and took it away
You gave me love, babe, gave me love, babe
You gave me love and took it away
You gave me love, babe, gave me love, babe
You gave me love and took it away
You gave me love, babe, gave me love, babe
Oh man, I said oh lord
I’m feeling blue, ’cause love is gone
I guess I lose, but life goes on
I’ve got a few tears to dry,
before these blue shade days are gone
And I can stare into the sun
before these blue shade days are gone
And I can stare into the sun
I’ve got a fever baby!
Your love
I’ve got a fever baby!
It’s your love
I said I’m blue, baby
I said I’m blue, baby
I said I’m blue babe, blue babe
I said I’m blue, baby
I’m crying out late now
The sun is gone
I’m crying out late now
The sun is gone
I need you love
I need you love
Do you see me, baby, on the street?
And I’m her king, to her heat
And I love, babe
