My Playlist

So SOMEBODY just complained about the music that is playing on my blog recently. That SOMEBODY then told me to take it off. Apparently, the world revolves around that SOMEBODY.

Heh.

Anyway, I kinda actually find music that plays on blogs a little irritating too. So why have I included it then?

For one, the music one listens to offers a little insight to their character, their likes and their dislikes. Secondly, and more importantly, I like to share music that I like with others. I could have included this playlist, but then scripted it to not play automatically. But nope. I want people to listen to the songs that I like, and hopefully get them to like these songs as well. Hur hur hur.

With that being said, the songs on my playlist are probably not going to be the newest songs. More of the rather obscured ones (actually not really), that I think most of my friends won't have listen to or know of before. What is the point of introducing a nice popular song to everyone, when sooner or later everyone will hear of it. And hence, I find myself starting to like indie music or any music that is away from the mainstream. There is something cool about discovering wonderful music/songs that almost no one knows about.

Anyway, the songs in the playlist right now are songs that kind of melt me - at least to a certain extend. Who needs chocolates? Easy listening best suited for the quiet night.
1) Tizzy Bac - You'll see. By a Taiwanese indie group. Most of their songs are kinda like electronica. But I really like this version, the live version because of the superb piano accompaniment. She reminds me why I am learning the piano. Really gotta thank the person who introduced this song to me. My fave at the moment. That's why its at the top.
2) Olivia Ong - Fall in love - Koini Ochite. By a Singaporean singer! Just discovered her recently. Very nice, sultry voice I must add. Interestingly, she started off in some Japanese pop group. Nice melody.
3) Olivia Ong - It's Real. See (2).
4) Jay Chou - Secret. From the movie, Secret. I am currently learning to play this on the piano. But this version is crazy fast. Totally entangles the fingers of my right hand. But a very fun piece to play.
5) Ayumi Hamasaki - Heaven. I don't like the original version. Much prefer this quiet version. Sounds more sincere. Also shows how a simple song can sound beautiful.
6) The Corrs - Runaway. Violin, Violin, Violin. (Or Viola?). Plus its kinda celtic. I like celtic.
7) Shimokawa Mikuni - Hajimari. I love the melody. And sweet voice.
8) Taro Hakase - To Love You More. Actually a song sang by Celine Dion. I realise how sappy it sounds. But heck. It's the violin! (or viola? How to tell the difference on how they sound???)

So why have I introduced my entire playlist? Because I am bored.

And to that SOMEBODY, the stop/pause button is immediately to the right of the newest blog entry. Very easy and convenient to turn it off. =)
