1. Pink – “I’m Not Dead”

As cheesy pop rock as Pink can be, this song really is quite beautiful especially the chorus… very powerful!

2. Jack Johnson – “It’s All Understood”

Possibly the nicest piano backing in a song of this style – it’s just full of melancholy although the lyrics don’t make a lot of sense to me.

3. Jamelia – “Something About You”

I am completely dedicating this song to one of my close friends simply because the lyrics could have been written for them:

4. The Raconteurs – “Steady, As She Goes”

This is a cover version but I absolutely love this with the heavy guitar riffs, definately rockin’!

Plus, Jack White looks well fit in this video…lol

5. Marcy Playground – “Coming Up From Behind”

This song is so ultra funky – heavy and rocky at the same. It’s another from the Cruel Intentions soundtrack – I should really buy that CD…

6. Semisonic – “Closing Time”

Most people know Semisonic for their Secret Smile song, and know this song really well but until recently I didn’t make the connection. This is a fantastic song and I know who I’d want to take me home!

7. Gavin Degraw – “I don’t want to be”

Many of you might recognise this song – it’s the theme tune to One Tree Hill. I love it – enough said!

8. Kayne West ft. Chris Martin – “Homecoming”

Again another abstract rap type song (unusual for me) but this has a fantastic tune to it and I love the chorus!

9. Jack Johnson – “Better Together”

This is only on the list because I really love Jack Johnson at the moment, and after a conversation with a friend who is getting married soon, this came up as a potential first dance song. After some debating I decided that this might well be my first dance song when I get married. The setting? A beach in Thailand with a certain person, chilling out…I can picture it so well!

10. Timbaland ft Nicole S – “Scream”

This song is unbeliveably hot – I love it so much – but the video is a little strange, I don’t understand it… how much did she get paid to do that!?

Well, that’s it for now – sorry it’s short but I have work to do

“A mighty pain to love it is,
And ’tis a pain that pains to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain.”
Abraham Cowley

The Telegraph have a full article on this sad news:

I personally felt quite shocked and sad when I heard the news; it is so unexpected and he was so young.

I am sure all of our thoughts are with his friends and family at this time

RIP Heath…

So in line with this topic, here is a funny Road Sign based story…

The kind of day where, from the very start, things go wrong and break, bad news hits, you hear things you wish you hadn’t, you get disappointed and messed around whilst things you expected and hoped for just don’t happen.

Or even worse is the Suprise Bad Day – the kind of day where you wake up feeling fine – maybe your first few hours are pleasant and rewarding, then WHOOSH it hits you twice as hard with twice as much crap as if to make up for the fact you even dared to expect a good day.

Either way, your mood is darker than the British sky for the duration of this miserable 24 hours.

[I'm having a bad day. Can you tell?]

Not only is the lead singer sexy as hell, but they did this song which makes me CRUMBLE I love it so much.

WOW.
