Music and Lyrics: What’s In A Name – Late Night Alumni

Music and Lyrics: What's In A Name - Late Night Alumni

For the life of me, I do not know why I have not posted a Late Night Alumni song! In this age of Pandora, I do not have music on my iPhone anymore except for a couple faves: Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bossa N’ Marley, AND, LATE NIGHT ALUMNI! We [...]

Music and Lyrics: Destiny by Zero 7

Music and Lyrics: Destiny by Zero 7

  Going back to the classics today, guys. I was driving around town today, running errands, picked up the dry cleaning, and this song plays. Though this song is about a decade old, whenever I hear this song, it takes me back to circa 2005. Then, I just moved to my apartment and was just [...]

Music and Lyrics: Mating Game by Bitter:Sweet

Whoa! It’s been so long! Thanks to Ms. C for posting on the blog while I took a month or so long hiatus. Though, I must say, I’m going through this weird phase again in my life that is not totally unfamiliar – quite the contrary, it’s super familiar that it’s really been troubling me. [...]

Music and Lyrics: Nothing Better by The Postal Service

Come on, who doesn’t love The Postal Service, right? The fact that their music was produced by sending tracks and edits through the USPS, hence the name of the band. I love this song. But this is a break-up song. I love this song because it’s fun to sing to. It’s so upbeat and one [...]

Music and Lyrics: Crush by Dave Matthews Band

A year ago from today, Chef and I tied the knot in Caleruega, a quaint chapel on top of the hill in Tagaytay, Philippines. This was 4 months after our civil wedding in San Francisco. Ms C helped me plan the wedding while she was in Manila part of the time and I was in [...]

Music and Lyrics: Grace by Kate Havnevik

We all know what Grey’s Anatomy scene popularized this song: Meredith and Derek in the exam room while Denny Duquette dies as Izzie is on her way to see him in that fuchsia ball gown. The scenes on GA were definitely suited for this song, turn my grief to grace. I’ve had this in my [...]

Music and Lyrics: Only You (Theme from The Young Victoria) – Sinead O’Connor

Quite similar to my love for the French culture is my curiosity for the British monarchy. This started when I studied world literature. From Jane Austen and Emily Bronte, romance in the English countryside of men and women with ranks and titles. And how I love period films. So, I just watched The Young Victoria, simply the sovereign [...]

Music and Lyrics: I’m A Slave 4 U – Britney Spears

I blame it on Glee. Never did I imagine that I would blog about Britney. But in all honesty, I respect her as a dancer. In this video, well, this was of course her glory days – to state the obvious. Hot career, hot body, and well, she was dating Justin Timberlake (just ignore the [...]

Music and Lyrics: Breakdown – Mariah Carey feat. Bone Thugs N Harmony

Since Ms V (@vera_ftw) mentioned Bone Thugs N’ Harmony on Twitter, this song has been playing in my head. For me, this is Mariah at her best (I feel that her Emancipation of Mimi is up there too, but it’s really hard because her Daydream album was really good too). Anyway, this is Mariah looking [...]

Music and Lyrics: Closing Time – Semisonic

I’m part of the MTV generation, the generation who watched an MTV that showed music videos instead of reality shows. Circa 1998, I believe, was when this song came out, and of course I learned about it from MTV. Truth be told this is the only Semisonic song I know. At first I thought it [...]

Music and Lyrics: Angel – Jack Johnson

Who doesn’t love Jack Johnson? I mean come on, those awesome lyrics, fabulous voice, and he’s a surfer dude. No but really, he’s one of my favorites because he’s my kind of lyricist – and by my kind of lyricist I mean the Dave Matthews kind of lyricist. So, his (or their – with Dave) [...]
