Another beautifully haunting track by Massive Attack, lending vocals by Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star.

Paradise Circus

It’s unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over ’cause we’re uncomfortable
oh where the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we’re spinning in his grip.

Love is like a sin my love

For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again

It’s unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over when we’re uncomfortable
oh well the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we’re spinning in his grip.

Love is like a sin my love

For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again

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!

Chromeo – Fancy Footwork from Vice Records on Vimeo.

Watch them play live below. They were just in Perth yesterday for Summadayze Festival (Jon I hope you were there!). Wish they had stop by Singapore.

有时候，我真的想说多一点中语。但是，如果没有练习的话，很快就失去了很多。我是半华人, 连简单的对话有困难。以上是我最近喜欢的歌曲。
