Classic Music! Video #18!

Hey hey hey, its classic music again!

Now, i have updated the list with several great classic songs that come with great classic movie. We started with Tarzan at 1999, dated back to 1995 of Pocahontas, and yesterday we had Beauty and the Beast at 1991. Wow, i just realized that i updated with songs about 10 years different eh? Well today i am going to add in another classic song from a classic movie, and guess what? Today we are going to hear see some serious fun from the Trios, Timon, Pumba and Simba!

Roarrrr~~~!!!!

Yep, the son of great lion, Musafa, and the lioness, Sarabi, who became the Lion King after he fought back his throne, Simba remains a special character inside my little heart. I remember i was so crazy about Simba that i had my mum bought a hard covered version of Lion King drawings, and the little Simba was just so cute!

Now, when Lion King is mentioned, the great musician behind should not be forgotten too. Sir Elton John, one of the most famous musicians, wrote his all times hits Can You Feel The Love Tonight, which hit #! in France chart! I'm sure the song doesn't sound uncommon to the 80s and 90s, come on, we LIVED through our adolescent with disney, whether we admit it or not.

So, here we go, with the lion roaring, Can You Feel The Love Tonight! Elton John!

Classic Music! Video #17!

Yoyoyo, its classic music again!

Now normally, if i have already updated a certain singer's music, i won't be updating the singers' other songs, but today, i make an exception to that because although the female voice is featured already, but the male part is not, and its a classic, so why not right?

Now, speaking of classic music from classic movie, we have Tarzan, Pocahontas at the previous posts, what about today have a little bit of beast romance eh?

Ah ya, i'm talking about Beauty and The Beast! A classic movie at 1991, this movie is made Disney gained a huge profit and is marked as one of the Disney Renaissance movie list. The song itself is voiced by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson and of course the whole album of it won an Academy Award.

So, let's indulge in the romance of a beast and a woman, Beauty and The Beast, by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson!

----------------------------------------------------------

Classic Music! Video #16!

Well well, its our classic music video time~! Sorry for the late update lately, because i had been out for the whole day lately. T.T

Anyhow, been having many solo males lately aren't we? So i think of rebalance it a bit by putting up the following music video.

Yesterday was a classic from a classic movie, Tarzan, so classic MV 16, why not also a classic from a classic movie? Guess what? We are flying Indian today!

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

Now, i'm sure the above lyrics won't sound alien to you eh? If you are the 80s and 90s i'm sure it gonna struck hard in your mind! haha! Yep, the classic is from a classic movie, based on a real historical character, Pocahontas! This movie is really a classic, man, i still can't believe i actually sobbed when i watched the movie.

This movie is not just about love, friendship; its about the nature, like in the lyrics, mentioned the wolf, the bobcat, the otter, the heron, the deer and more, its about the connection between the humans and the nature. With so many natural disasters lately, we as humans should think back what we have been doing to the nature Earth. Its time for us to wake up and love out mother.

The song Color of The Wind won several awards such as Academy Award, Golden Globe Award and Grammy Award. Sang by Vannessa Williams, it became one of the greatest hits of her songs. Reaching #4 in US chart. Eventually won an Oscar Award of Best Original Song at 1995.

So, let's indulge in a story tale of classic, Color of The Wind by Vanessa Williams!

Classic Music! Video #15!

Hey hey hey, its classic music again! Now as i promised that there will be more male solo singers coming in, today's of course is a solo male. ^^v

So, with Eric Clapton's sad song, i hope, by this post, to update the list with much happier and joyish song; what more could be more joyish than a fairy tale's music eh?

So let's start with much courageous and bravery one, its Tarzan!

aoooeeoooeeeooooeeoeoeoeoeoe~~~~~~~

Yep, that's the classic yell of Tarzan. Tarzan the movie which was played at 1999, managed to let Disney got a huge profit before their drop at 2000 onwards. With Phil Colin being the master OST composer and Mark Mancina being the main instrumental score composer, its hard to NOT remember their musics and OSTs even though Tarzan the movie, well, is such an old movie by now. Nevertheless, the movie is still a CLASSIC!

And when you have a classic movie, you have a classic MUSIC!

So, here we are, with the all time greatest hits from Tarzan the Movie, You'll Be In My Heart! from Phil Collins!

-----------------------------------------------------------


Classic Music! Video #14!

Yoyoyo~! Sorry its a bit too late today for Classic Music Video 14! (been working whole day long~)

Well, i know i had just make it a fair fight between the solo singers, but today, i think for the few posts later, will revert the situation to more male singers though.

Its a fine day today? Have you say I Love You to your friends lately? Or tell them that you are there for them whenever they are down? Hard to say that? Well then no worries, because this post is going to help you on that!

A pop type song, you can dance with it, just a smooth dance though, or simply hum along. Anyhow, its great to have such a song that can help us to express our loves to our friends eh? Yes, tell them that we all need somebody to lean on!

Its Bill Withers with Lean On Me!

Classic Music! Video #13!

So, is Brian McKnight's Back To One charmed you to heaven? Well, apparently today's choice of video is very, very touching and sad. So if you do not really want to spoil your mood today, i suggest you not listen to it though. Of course i am still updating the list to have more male solo singers, which at the situation now, its 3 females vs 2 males, so with today's update, that will make it a fair fight.

Today's actually is Michael Jackson's RIP day, so before hand, i hope he rests in peace.

Now, it has been many pop and rock and roll back then of the 12 videos, today, i am going to add in a new genre, and its called blues, which is mostly sentimental and emotional. Have you ever had a child? Or have you heard about cases where the parents lost their children at young age? Its heart broken when you heard some cases reported as human mistakes, or even though its accidents its still very emotional.

Today's singer lost his child at 1991, which influenced the singer to write this song to pour his missing feelings and his loves toward his passed away son. The lyrics is strong, yet is very emotional that simply makes you fall into the great despair of how sad it could be to lose someone that you love. Following his son's accident, the policy of windows proofing and etc are strengthen to prevent such cases to happen again. Not to mention this father publicly reminded parents to play their parts in protecting their children.

So, who am I talking about? I think even though i didn't mention the names, or how the son dies, more or less you can guess it out.

Yes, its Eric Clapton with the love for his son, Conor, Tears In Heaven.

R.I.P to all the deceased.

Classic Music! Video #12!

Well people, its classic music again!

Now, if you ever realized, i have been updating a lot about bands, boysband, girlsband, you name it. As for solo singer, i just realized that its mostly females. Woots, so why not update it with a little male's testosterone eh? So, today i suddenly thought of a very classic pop solo singing from an American Pop Singer, guess what, he is 42 years old now!

This song practically tells you the feeling you have for a girl when you wanna chase after her. Its really soothing especially with the melody. Well, i can't really explain much so let's just hear it out, alright?

So, who's the singer? Its Brian McKnight with his all times best hitz, Back At One!

Music Classic! Video #10!

Hey hey hey! Classic music video has finally reached the one-third of the month! Tada! Its classic music video 10 today!

Well, today's classic idol is also one of the hot singers that i'm sure everyone know. She made a lot of musics, she touched a lot of souls, and she left many memorable moments to the world. Well of course she is still making a lot of musics that touched us everytime we hear it. Now, who am i talking today? For the previous videos introduced, most of them are boybands, only few are female singers, so today, let's update it with a female singer!

Before that, let's list out music video 1 to 9:

So, with today that i think of updating it with female singer, i introduce to you Mariah Carey's Without You!

This is one of the best of Mariah Carey, that even my mum is crazy over this song (my mum didn't even listen to English songs!) This song is heard by me together at the same period when i know of Westlife, Titanic and etc. So this song pretty much leaves me with memories, not to mention that i always sing out loud when the chorus was on, haha!

This song is covered by Mariah Carey at the year of 1994, in the album Music Box. So i am certain that 80s and 90s are always the fans of this song!

So, without much delay, here i bring you, Mariah Carey's Without You!
Applause~

Music Classic! Video #9!

Well, if it is about classic, isn't it we are lacking of one all time favorite? Now, i have been introducing pop, whether its soul ballad pop, blue pop, dancing pop etc, they are still pop. So, today, why not one type of different favor? Now it is still a type of ballad, because there are stories in it, but the genre will be much rock and roll, and its old school! Ok, which song am i talking?

Have you guys watched a movie where by the man she loves went up to the space to prevent a doomsday caused by an asteroid from happening? And where this man in the end was sacrificed for the sake of the human kind? Aha, for the smart one, we have an OST from Armageddon the movie, Aerosmith, with their all time best single, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing!

Aha, this song is really a hitz, still being sing especially in the karaoke. Try this if you really want to have a shoutout at the karaoke and you will really be amused by the impact it brought along. (because i tried!) haha, just make sure you do it at the last, for it really caused you to put all your energy into it that you don't have anymore to shout later. hahaha!

This song debuted being the first at the Billboard Hot 100, after the band was together for 28 years. The song remained as number one for a period in numerous charting and eventually became one of the best for Aerosmith.

So, with all those memories that you carried with this movie, shout along with Aerosmith in this
most touching ever song, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing!

So i hope you guys are having fun from music video 1 to video 7, which comprises a series of different songs, and today its another music classic video, and guess what? Today we have Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You!

Yea, speak about classic, this song is entirely about classic. OST of the movie The Bodyguard at year 1992, starred by Whitney Houston herself and Kevin Costner. Well personally i don't really remember i watched this movie or not, since i was still a toddler at that time, but this song sure did kick in my mind, because here and there you will hear it was broadcast through the radio, and it still does so today.

This song is a cover by Whitney Houston on Dolly Patron version in 1973. It was recorded as the OST for the movie when Whitney Houston responded that another song that was supposed to be the lead OST had to be changed. And guess what, this song later became number 68 of Greatest Songs At All Time.

Classic Music! Video #7!

Well well, if we are talking bout classic, what about a classic music that came with a classic movie that based on a real time story? Remember bout the love that happened on a giant ship that sank at the sea? Yep, that's titanic! and the music that came with it? Yep, that's Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On!

Now, this movie is really one of the legends, i'm sure most of the 80s and 90s remember this movie very well, where Leonardo Dicarpio and Kate Winslet played the main actor and actress of the movie. And this movie sure made alot of people cried; they cried for both the innocents that were drowned along with the Titanic, and also the love that could never be forever between the twos.

This movie remained as the top for 12 years that gained the highest gross profit, until the same director, James Cameron directed Avatar that finally surpassed its own beauty at year 2010, by the way, Titanic was at 1997. Although so, Cameron had redirected Titanic into 3D version and is planned for a release at 6th April 2012. So, will this release in 3D gain back its crown from Avatar? We'll see.

My Heart Will Go On is the biggest hits of Celine Dion, that achieved one of the best selling in worldwide. So, for those 00s and 10s, make sure you know what is this song before you actually go and watch the remade of Titanic!

So here we go, Celine Dion, My Heart Will Go On!

Music Classic! Video #6!

Well, if it is about classic, why not the classic pop boysband? Well yep, indeed, the classic music video 6 features one of the most popular boysband and indeed one of the oldest, following New Edition, we have New Kids On The Block with one of their best singles Step By Step~!

Now, NKOTB disbanded back in 1994, so most of the fans are from 80s and early 90s. However, a secret reunion was done at 2007 and they finally released an album to quench the thirst of their fans - The Block. It is one of the singles in this brand new album that brought my attention to his group, which is the single Summertime. In addition, another single that really makes my mind blown is the name Single. Both these songs simply make me indulge in their musics and performance that i traced back to some of their old songs and here i am introducing the one Step By Step.

Now the old version of Step By Step is much more rock and roll, the one that i am introducing is much more pop with lesser emphasis on R&R, and it is in the end renamed as Step By Step 2010 version (Yep, it has an official there).

All that i can say is this group, is simply amazing. Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey Mclntyre and Danny Wood are still as gorgeous as they are since they started performing. And i am sure most of you know Jordan Knight, which also becomes famous and popular with his solo albums.

So, let's indulge in one of the oldest band, we have New Kids On The Block, a remade version of the old one, Step By Step (2010)!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Music Classic! Video #5!

So, if it is about classic music, don't you think if someone so popular is not in the list? Now who am i talking about?

Of course its him!

Yep, we have King of Pop, Michael Jackson!

Now, MJ was really one the most famous musicians from 80s to 10s, man, he just made too much music that listing them out could take you days! Despite of his negative rumors or news, i still respect him as a musician because his songs really touch us, the human, in many ways. As he has passed away now, i hope that people will not think of his negatives, but wish him rest in peace and may his songs be heard for eternity.

Now, which song that i chose? I chose Heal The World. Now this is really a classic, compare to Justin Bieber's Pray, Heal The World really makes the world go round, and everyone simply has tears in the eyes whenever hearing this song. It is so lovely, and touching.

So, without much delay, we have Michael Jackson, Heal The World.

p/s: wish MJ RIP.

Music Classic! Video #4!

Hey hey hey, for the buddies that tagged along ever since music video #1, today classic music is going to be huge! As in, huge!

Now, i have shown mainly two types of classic music, the blue pop and the dancing pop, well, today its going to be another type, which is also a mix of the dancing type, what i prefer to call it as the ballad pop. Now, ballad is actually a kind of poetry, that when it is sang, mostly in slow rhythm and melody to describe a certain thing. Now of course the song i am going to introduce later is a fast pace song, yet it is also narratives of a downtown man that trying to woo a wealthy uptown girl, (aha, for those who are brilliant, you should know what song is it), so since it is also narrative, why not name it ballad pop? haha, i didn't learn music genre, but its my type of categorized them, anyone who knew bout the true name of course welcome to criticize me. Anyhow, yep, the song that hits the music classic is Westlife, Uptown Girl!

Now, Westlife's songs are pretty much the songs that accompanied us through the life of 80s and 90s, i'm a 89. Their songs are fantastic, indulging in their songs pretty much can make you kill the replay button of youtube.com. And thanks to the advance technology that i can re-indulge in their voices through those shows of live! Way to go, Mark, Shane, Kian, Nicky and Brian!

Well although Brian left Westlife just few years ago, where the four continue the journey of Westlife, still i still like their songs very much despite of whatever the negative things they carry. Especially the Back Home album simply melted me!

Anyhow, who's your favorite in Westlife? Personally i favor Shane Filan the most, followed by Mark Feehily. Yet lately i found that Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne have their own charms too. Haha, Irish dudes are really charming though! Anyway, Uptown Girl is a real hitz ever since my childhood, most of the 90s will have know the song, even though they don't know the lyric they still know how to sing the chorus! So for the 00s and 10s, click the play button and start to listen what we known as the legend!

Here we go, without much delay, Westlife with their best single Uptown Girl!

p/s: melt in their charm!

Classic Music! Video #3!

Hey hey hey, its classic music time!

So, is classic music must be a song that is fast paced or make you wanna dance those swift moves for example BackStreet Boys?

Well, it doesn't really need! And that's why music video #3 is this one, LeAnn Rimes - How Do I Live Without You!

Now this song, i'm sure most of the 00s and 10s will not really know bout it, but for the 80s and 90s, haha, it is one hell of a classic! This song simply makes your heart grow sadder and sadder though, of the love and the missing feelings for someone that you cannot hold, or even just thinking of your partner at the side of you, you will still feel the feeling growing because you just don't want to lose this person, ever and ever.

And that's why, LeAnn Rimes makes this song go so popular that you seriously won't really say no to this song. And, the last note of LeAnn Rimes simply makes you go wild.

Okay, without bluffing much, here i introduce to you all, LeAnn Rimes - How Do I Live Without You!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Classic Music! Video #2!

So, yep, as described in previous post that i will post the videos on streak for both #1 and #2. Here's the second one and which is from one of the most famous boybands you can ever think of, yes, BackStreet Boys!

---------------------------------------------------------------

BackStreet Boys - As Long As You Love Me

Well, of course BSB has a lot more songs that just this pop smooth song, but As Long As You Love Me become one of the most memorable greatest hits for its own reason! It just simply keeps you go on and on and on with the melody, rhythm, and not to mention the lyrics! Yes, this song simply makes you melt, whether you are a boy, or a girl, or a man, or a woman, or an old man, or an old woman, you know what the lyrics meant to you whenever they sang the part "as long as you love me baby~"

It is also one of the songs that i listened to when i was a child. It become a memory ever since i grew up, with less listening to English songs. However, life at 19 particularly changes my living style that Mix.FM and Hitz.FM become a major part of my life too. At the age of 21, yep last year which for the regulars should know that i posted this video last year too, i finally recalled this song from Hitz.FM, which was particularly related to my dream, haha!

Anyhow, As Long As You Love Me is just one of those songs that you can never forget in your entire life. Thanks to BSB for such a wonderful one that accompany our lives, with them writing our lives out.

So, here we go, BackStreet Boys with As Long As You Love Me!

----------------------------------------------------------------


Music Classic! Video #1!

Yea! So finally think of doing something to my blog, and i came up with an idea. Since i have been indulged in classic music ever since (note it doesn't really matter what genre it is, as long as it is classic!) so i decided that this will be a classic music month!

haha~!

So, today is 13 June 2011 (+8.00 GMT), it will take 30 days to complete this streak, let's hope i am not forgetting this though.

Although it should be music video #1 only, but since i already posted the first in facebook and its currently video 2 in my wall post, so i will post in a streak of music video #1 and #2.

(note the numbering is just number of how many videos i have posted, it is not about the ranking!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Take That - How Deep Is Your Love

So the very first one that get in my memory bank of classic music, is How Deep Is Your Love from Take That!

Now, precisely it is a cover of Bee Gees, but i am not too sure which one that i actually heard during my youth, since Take That's version sounded the one that close to my childhood's memory, i decided to post Take That's version.

Take That is a boyband that made up of five boys, namely Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Robbie Williams. Well, unfortunately Robbie Williams was not in How Deep Is Your Love due to his history of drug abuse, but RW is still a very good musician to me, despite of all that~ (even owned two genuine albums of him)

This song caught my memory, mostly is because of the voice of lead singer, Gary Barlow, which simply kicked in my mind and can't get away ever since. I have long forgotten this song actually, and just recently recalled back when the Mix.FM rebroadcast it. Well, no more bluffing and let's indulge in the pop music of the 80s, we have Take That with How Deep Is Your Love!

-------------------------------------------------------------------


p/s: there is a better version of this on YouTube.com, which is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjuRVFMkf0I, try it for better resolution and audio!

A Bad Dream

Disclaimer: I'm sure i had posted this video a long time ago, but in correspond to the situation i reposted it again.
_______________________________________________________

I had a dream. A bad one if you were to question that; though its seriously not bad at all.
Just, why this dream has to come, i thought i let you go, i thought i forget you, i thought i put you down; in real, i never did.

I can feel the warmth of your body. I can feel the sensation of happiness. I can feel the feelings surging towards you. Which all of them i have been trying not to. I wanted an escape. I don't want to continue. I don't want to drop into your web, once again.

But my heart wants to, its not my mind. My heart.
_______________________________________________________

曾经以为自己已经把你放下,曾经以为自己不会再想起你,曾经以为自己能够走出你的影子。但事与愿违,我的心,再次颤抖了。你那温柔而有力度的手,拥抱我的那一刻,即使那只不过是一个梦,我的心却以及溶化了。不管我用多少的借口,不管我用多少的方法,不管我用多少的途径,我都还是忘不了你。

为什么?为什么我要那么的懦弱。我不应该。你不应该是那个注定的。因为事情最后都是我在受伤害。我不可以去奢望,我不可以去期望,更不可以去希望;因为那永远都只是失望的前兆。明明知道是不可能的,可我的心却不能把你抹去。

深夜里有梦中而醒,想着梦里你的举动,再一次感觉到自己的孤独,再一次感觉到对你的渴望,再一次向把时间倒流回到那一刻;那一个能够与你相聚的一刻。

不可以,绝对不可以。因为那只是一场梦,一场恶梦,即使在梦中的我,是微笑着;在现实的我却一定是哭泣着。

所以必须远离,必须离开,必须放弃,因为对你的乞求,绝对不会实现。

__________________________________________________




__________________________________________________

头脑,不能再保持清醒了。只好寄予在跑步中,来抹去对你的思念。只能把身体弄垮,我才能够被释放。
