没有大舅的日子:第1169天

Music in us...

I decided to write more songs that I grew up listening to, the continuation of 'Songs from the 1990's'. I didn't include songs after year 2000.


BB Mak - Back Here


I find them to be so underrated!!! Their songs are nice! Unfortunately, it's one of the 'one-hit-wonders'. You heard the song, but forgotten who sang it. Famous song, unknown singer.
OK, can you remember the bits or parts any song(s) in its' lyrics, rhythm that you had heard in the past? I can... But I don't have any clue who sang and what's the title...


Christina Aguilera - What A Girl Wants


One of my favourite songs back in school...
Christina looked so different back then. Young, cute, girly. The pop princesses era. Pop music in its heyday.


Blink 182 - All The Small Things


Ha, ha, ha! This could be the 'guilty song' that you like to hear... Kids, like me back then will think it as R-rated or something... Silly and innocent young minds. Want to watch but had a sense of guiltiness from listening or watching.
Seriously, watch the music video! I realised the boys tried to mock some singers in it.  Any one will burst out laughing!


Samantha Mumba - Gotta Tell You


OK, who still remember Samantha Mumba? Is she another one-hit-singer?
This song didn't cross my mind until I was searching for information to write.


Faith Hill - Breathe


Whether it's pop or country, Faith Hill does it well.
Love this song so much! Romantic! I don't think 'Breathe' will ever gone out-of-date.


Matchbox Twenty - Unwell



None of my friends never heard this song! Switch on the radio to any random radio stations, you can hear it. Even in school! My school used to play music early in the morning, before assembly and I always heard 'Unwell'. I even sang to it when I was bored!


Avril Lavigne - Complicated


Avril Lavigne's music is full of attitude! That's what I love. Her first ever song. So young and fierce! She gave me a feeling that she's not your average teen...
Sadly, I'm not into her music after 'Girlfriend'. I find her being another 'bubble-pop' and too commercialize.


Train - Drops of Jupiter


A song other than 'Unwell' I heard everyday on radio stations at least 2 times a day!
Nice song, all I can say. Until today, I still don't know the lyrics to the song. Failure...


Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River


That was when JT started to go solo... This was his second single, if I'm right... Because of this song and the other, I had totally forgotten about N*Sync. I don't see JT as another guy in boyband. He's Justin Timberlake!

A short note: while searching for this song, I also found another Justin... Yes, Bieber, I mean... Singing this song. Taken aback. Speechless. And still finds his irritating.

The Killers - Mr. Brightside


I don't know how to describe this song... I had this song playing in my head, over and over again. No idea why.


Norah Jones - Don't Know Why


I never listened to alternative music such as jazz, acoustic or indie before... Until Norah Jones came. I realised that alternative music gave me a different kind of feeling. Pure and simple.
I think because of her, alternative artistes managed to score their big break, dominating the top 40 charts that were usually dominated by mainstream artistes.


Craig David - 7 Days


Now it's the British music's turn!
Craig David was one of the best RnB artistes ever. This was my cousin's favourite song... I heard him played the song in his room loudly.
Just enjoy '7 Days'...

Kylie Minougue - Spinning Around


I knew Kylie Minogue way back to the 90s. Forgotten to include her on the previous part... From being an 80s pop to 2000s sexy diva. I don't know if you do feel the same or what, listening to Kylie's song gave you a youthful feeling...
I wanted to put 'Can't Get You Outta My Head' but decided to back out. That song was too annoying to me...


Ronan Keating - When You Said Nothing At All


Another singer from boy band group, Ronan Keating.
This song will be one of those you'll tend to listen once in a while and fall in love all over again... Romance.


Robbie Williams - She's The One


Bad-ass Robbie! He's such a bad-boy that people love. I'll always be his fans...
There's something about Robbie Williams' music that I attracted too. The strong British influence maybe...


Westlife - My Love


Oh my goodness! Them! Other than Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, they were my favourite! Even those that don't really listen to boybands will still love Westlife.
Back then boybands made good music. We don't hate them. We adore them. Unlike now, One Direction is so bimbo!


Blue - All Rise


A friend was posting random videos songs that we listened back in school and Blue was one of them... There! I had the idea of writing this post!
OK. My group of friends back in school were so obsessed with Blue. Even my mother like them! They're so cute!!! (young girl yelling)
I listened to them until they were disband... How much I wish they can get back together.


Girls Aloud - Life Got Cold


You might remember Cheryl Cole in it... But don't remember who's Girls Aloud.
I first heard them back in 2002, when they won a singing competition.
This song is my personal favourite. For the 'emo-ness' and attitude.


Busted - What I Go To School For


I love Busted, until today! They're so comical! I can't believe they are English!
This is one crazy song! Crush on a teacher! School's dull! Ha, ha, ha!
Yeah, my school days would be bored without Busted!


Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not The One


This song! So touching!
Time to remember all the sad times... Ha, ha, ha!
Who still remember Daniel Bedingfield by the way...?


S Club 7 - Bring It All Back


Who doesn't grow up with watching S Club 7 on tv?!
Who doesn't sing along to their song?!
My cousin and I were one of their fans, sitting in front of the tv, watching S Club series and singing along to their song while playing their CDs.



Listening while writing for each song, reminded me on my life dated back almost 10 years ago...
Those songs accompanied me throughout my childhood years.

Glad I lived in an era where boybands made good music and not behaving like bimbo boys like One Direction. No annoying Bieber. Ha, ha, ha!!!

Next up, on Euro 2012...!
