my five favourite songs of the year 2005
1:44 AM
well the year's coming to a close, and so might my blog. >.< haha kinda lazy to update but i have decided to type my thoughts down on this before i lose my memory on what good songs there were in an otherwise crappy year of music. so here goes..
5!
perfect situation by weezer. favourite song of this past 2 months so its still kinda stuck in my head. not the irritating kind, but the nice kind for once. plus, elisha cuthbert's in the video. sizzle!!!!!!!!!!!
4!
aint coming home by silvertide. this band is ROCK. or well. this band is like THE DARKNESS. either way they rocked my socks off when i first heard this song. crazy guitar solo, meaningless lyrics, what else can a rockstar wannabe like me ask for in a song anymore?
3!
you're beautiful by james blunt. one of the few radio friendly songs which i actually dont mind listening to over and over again. ive just got one word to describe this song. 'ouch'.
2!
existentialism on prom night by straylight run. beautiful song, even though i can only interpret the meaning of this song and not know the true, actual one. i think its about hope, but the intro with the piano sounds so sad that i might be wrong. plus it sounds emo. so it shld b sad, or draggy, or whiny. but then again it sounds too classy to be emo. i guess we'll never know. but still its a great song nonetheless.

mr brightside by the killers!! they brought a whole new sound to radio and my life. pityful lyrics too. ive got like 4 versions of this song in my ipod and its so friggin nice! each and every one of those versions. killer intro, killer lyrics, no wonder they are the killers! fine that was kinda cheesy. but hey this isnt a song, its art. gar the cheesyness! dont stop till u get enough. =p
limp bizkit

i know i can be critical at times when it comes to music, nah, all the time actually so as i sat at home watching the television, an advertisement came up and this really disturbed me. limp bizkit had came out with a greatest hits album. hmm. not in my wildest dreams had i expected a band like limp bizkit to spawn out such an album. to me, greatest hits albums are for those bands which are in decline, for example savage garden(i love them, but havent they broken up?) and britney(with the baby and stuff). so, i guess fred durst has spent finish all his cash from the previous makings of the last few albums on his yankees baseball caps and has decided 'hmm. i need more money to buy more red yankee caps. why not come out with a greatest hits album?' and i guess this is how it came out, the album. to tell you the truth, chocolate starfish and the hotdog flavoured water was the first album with the parental advisory logo i ever bought. was kinda proud of it that time. as i look back now, i wonder how blinded(or deaf) i was to get such an album. and this greatest hits album. how many hits does limp bizkit had? has anyone of them become a hit? mebbe. but not 10 of them. GREATEST HITS. harlo. its not great, its not even a hit. overrated, these two words are. 'keep rollin rollin rollin rollin' isnt exactly what you classify as great, neither is 'i wanna phuck you like an animal'. see. im embarrassed that i know the lyrics to their songs. GAH. so young punks who have bought this album, enjoy it while it lasts. you'll mature and move on to greater stuff. like HILARY DUFF! cheers.

nono i did not see no gay, in fact i think i might be becoming one. two issues. two nights ago, was watching the 'prestigious' star awards. everyone looked glam! well, almost everyone. but, the best lookin one i thought was julian hee(musta been because he's sideways). but thats not the point! i thought he was the best lookin one for both the males and females! yeah sure michelle chia gave him a run for his money, but nuh-uh. and another issue. joanne peh's gown/dress(my terminology's not fantastic). that nearly-there-i-am-gonna-show-you-my-ass-crack peek-a-boo gown/dress. i mean i thought she looked sluttish in that thing! i was disgusted! but shouldnt i, as a red-blooded, testosterone raging, young teenager, be enjoyin that sluttiness? gar. issue 2. for the past two days, i've been watching a korean drama serial. yes, eric chia watches korean dramas. i duno why but i kinda like that show. me. again, a male, watchin this kind of show. think i'm gettin too much into my feminine side. well, at least there's one saving grace to show that eric still exists. i hated the music to that show. hella boring. and kinda pirated. they played bob marley's Is This Love! i mean yeah thats wonderful but i dont think they have paid the royalties for that song. ITS BOB MARLEY, MAN! and this other song, which keeps sayin 'bye bye lover, bye bye friend'. its so james blunt!(the song's goodbye my lover for those who dont know). see, eric still lives on! oh btw imma say it here first. r.i.p.---- goodbye my lover(the song) it was good while it lasted. unless it defies the odds to become a nice, radio friendly hit. which is close to never. sob.
