Another Victoria's Secrets

"your favorite song at this time last year"

Well, I was going on to a break up and I was pretty much torn inside for the moment, so I don't really sure what song I fancied this time last year.. I guess a rather mellow songs, but I'm not really sure. But I loved Maliq & D'Essentials' Coba Katakan so much during the whole year last year, it fitted pretty well with me then, Lol. Now come sing this with me!

"a song from your childhood"

This was my lullaby song by Dad. He used to sing this to all of us before sleep and I had always thought that this was actually a lullaby song like Indonesian "nina bobo". I just knew that this is actually a Christmas song years later. When I asked my sister about the same question above, she answered straightly the same song title: The Little Drummer Boy. While browsing for the video I found this short movie about the song:

"a song that makes you feel guilty"

are all gospel and charismatic songs. Lol. I'm not as intense as I was to go to church and follow all those komsel, PDKK, Mudika (now OMK) and stuff. Any Christian songs would lead me back to God and remind me of how far I've left Him. Not that far, actually, but it's just not as close as before. Ah, life...

"a song that you wish you could play"

There is one ultimate song that every musician can play--at least every musician that I know. This song is sort of a "must" in every jam session (I'm not talking about jazz or blues session, definitely not) and I really wish I can grab a guitar and play this on a relaxing gathering occasion with friends or family. The song is definitely More Than Words by Extreme.

"a song that you can play on an instrument"

is the one with the easiest and limited chords in it. I learned to play guitar during my junior high years and only chords of this song that I remember till now. Here I present you... *drum chores* Last Kiss by Pearl Jam. LOL!

"a song that makes you laugh"

is definitely a song from Naif. Even in their "most serious" songs, they slipped funny lyric on it and successfully made me laugh whenever the first time I listen to their songs, made it memorable to anyone's mind, for sure. Well, their not-too-new song Karena Kamu Cuma Satu is my favorite. I especially love how they put "Kau satu-satunya, dan tak ada dua, apalagi tiga". I wish you all understand Indonesian to laugh with me here)

"a song that you want to be played at your funeral"

Oh my, this one is the hardest of all those 30-days songs! Gosh, I really dunno what to be played on at my funeral.. My teenage soul would want something sad like Kavana's "Will You Wait For Me?" or The William Brother's "Can't Cry Hard Enough" (for I was kinda an emo girl back then... Lol) but my adult soul now would like something more mature, more calming to the ones I'd left behind. Maybe something like... Somewhere Over The Rainbow (but the newer, lighter, more cheerful version). This one is from Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

"a song that you want to play at your wedding"

Oh, this is kinda difficult. Perhaps India Arie's Can I Walk With You, maybe. But this is still undefined, because I haven't met the groom yet. Most probably I'm gonna change this song into "our song", whatever it will be with my future husband. But I always like this song.

"a song that you listen to when you're sad"

Regina Spektor just know how to put my sadness away by her Better song. Pompink gave this to me one day when I was totally down, and suddenly I was getting better. I'm so blessed for having friends who always know the best songs to uplift my mood.

"a song that you listen to when you're happy"

is actually any song on my playlist. Maybe for one example, is A Fine Frenzy's Electric Twist. Been loving it since the first time Ratih 'gave' it to me, this one song had been my company thru the days.

"a song that you listen to when you're angry"

They said "you are becoming what you are feeding yourself with", so instead of listening to angry songs, I prefer listening to Daniel Powter's Bad Day and things are usually getting better.

"a song from your favorite album"

I love Bon Jovi, The Cranberries, Oasis and other bands from that era for nothing compares their greatness--perhaps because I was raised with their music back then. For I've put the first ones on my recent post already, this time's Oasis's turn. Enjoy and sing-a-long this Champagne Supernova from (What's The Story) Morning Glory? album with me!

"a song that you wish you heard on the radio"

is anything from Club 8, Acid House Kings and She & Him. Too bad, they are rarely played there :'(

"a song that you hear often on the radio"

is between Andien's Pulang and Selena Gomez' Who Says. I love Pulang so much I found it calms me down and feel like I wanna go home... only I hadn't found the 'home' she was singing about. Soon, I hope. Lol.

"a song you used to love but now hate"

is anything becoming too major, liked by too many people, played too often in the radio. Perhaps like Bruno Mars' Just The Way You Are. It's just so overwhelming. Lol.

"a song that describes you"


is actually my Day 01's song, God Help The Girl. But if I need to find another song, I think Five For Fighting's Superman suits me most. I feel like I'm no ordinary girl here and it's just not easy to be me in my neighborhood. I also love TLC's Unpretty and Aguilera's Beautiful. They helped me being strong as I am today during my adolescent years.

"a song that no one would expect you to love"

"a song that is a guilty pleasure"

This is my and my sister's favorite. Dunno why, but we love to sing and hop and dance on the bed to this Culture Club's Karma Chameleon. This, and Roxette's Dressed for Success, are our songs!

"a song from a band you hate"

I so dislike this famous Indonesian band, but I like this one song, tho I believe that it's being great mostly because of Andien. All and all, good song must be respected well, so I acclaimed this as the only song I love from Ungu. Sorry, no hard feeling. At least, there is one, right?

"a song from your favorite band"

My favorite band is definitely The Cranberries. Despite their most famous hits, I love Saving Grace, Analyse, In The Ghetto, and this You and Me.
