If you truly care about what music I am currently listening to then I would be more then glad to share the links that are on youtube. I'd just like to say right here that I listen two different kinds of music for different reasons entirely. Due to me not being raised up in a house where korean nor japanese was spoken at all I do not have the luxury (yet!) to speak and understand those languages. So when I listen to K-Pop and J-Pop 95% of the time I go by the tempo and the beat of the song and how it feels. I do this because I really cannot understand the song which I think it very effective way when I am feeling peppy and awesome I put some K-Pop and J-Pop on. However that is not to say I discourage non-native fluent speakers not to listen with their own translation. I think lyrics have a very powerful meaning but I also believe the sound of a song is what gives the overall tone or mood of the song which is why music is different from poetry.
Just like I was saying above. I believe lyrics have a very powerful meaning. That is why the second kind of music is just American music in general. My English or American music likes are really alternative rock, pop and Jazz however Jazz is for the feeling of the song.
Okay if you read this entire two paragraph letter then I am sorry to make you read though this entire thing. The whole reason was because I wanted to lift and concerns of my music habits because I do indeed listen to lyrics and the sound and beat of the song. They are both very important to me!
My favorite J-Pop (Japanese Pop) song would be Sorashido(ソラシド) by GReeeeN
While on the subject of J-Pop songs I think it is important to show off two of the most popular GReeeeN songs. These songs are a bit slower then Sorashido (ソラシド)
There most famous song which was on the top of Japanese music charts for 2009 and 2010 is Kiseki (キセキ)
Now one of my personal favorites from GReeeeN which is refered to be on of their "singles" according to Wikipedia's discography of them is Setsuna (刹那)
Alright; now that were are pretty much done with the J-Pop and GReeeeN I believe it is time to move two more artists: Kandy (糖妹) and SNSD (소녀시대). I guess we will start with the one C-Pop (Chinese Pop) artist.
Kandy (糖妹) all I can find on her is this one song. However because I can understand this song somewhat of my moderate understanding of Mandarin Chinese and my like for Jazz is a very good combo for me! Alright enough talking here it is; Pink Girl by Kandy (糖妹)
Now for SNSD (소녀시대) which most of everyone knows about. They were one of the first mainstream popular K-Pop internationally and still continues to be super popular. If you haven't seen them before well here is your chance. Now me being a devoted fan in the US I obviously have no idea what the lyrics mean but the peppiness, sweetness, kind, fun and playful style of many of their songs make a very big connection with me and my personality. Just to note if you don't like the style I just describe as, as of late they have been producing more hip and hop style songs that seems to be a more serious mood and is geared towards an older audience I believe. I could list out 30 or so songs by them but I will restrain myself to 3 songs.
The first song of SNSD (소녀시대) i'd like to share is 무조건 해피엔딩 (Stick Wit U). Again just repeating myself this song has a very peppy feeling to it which always puts me in a very pleasant mood
The second song of SNSD (소녀시대) I'd like to share is Genie (Japanese Version). Yes I know it is the Japanese version however there is something when it is sung in Japanese it sounds so much better and smoother. Anyway I just feel inspired by this song the mood again just hits me where I feel this feeling. It is hard to explain herp derp. I'll post the English translating down below.
"Did you call for me?" That SOS you started to say is really serious, huh?
Look, you really just have to be honest here
If there's anything you want to wish for, I'm a Genie who fell in love with you
Instead of oversimplifying it, I'd rather you say it selfishly, okay?
If you don't say it to begin with, I won't understand, right?
Your words about your honest dream are surprisingly full of charm
Okay, the nearby stars, as you please
Two people, just as you wish
And I'll even forecast the future
I'll grant it for you
I'm right here (I'm Genie for you, boy!)
If you come too (I'm Genie for your wish)
If we fall in love (I'm Genie for your dream)
If there's still more (I'm Genie for your world)
"Are you ready?" It's boring, isn't it, the same thing every day
If you're going forward, it's a flashy strong GO sign
You're a superstar, shining star, superstar
Match the same speed so that (Match so that)
We can jump aboard destiny, drive in any direction you like
The world is surprisingly simply made
It's a secret, I'm just your Biggest Fan
Okay, the nearby stars, as you please
Two people, just as you wish
And I'll even forecast the future
I'll grant it for you
I'm right here (I'm Genie for you, boy!)
If you come too (I'm Genie for your wish)
If we fall in love (I'm Genie for your dream)
If there's still more (I'm Genie for your world)
It's becoming an addiction
Tell me what you need, tell me what you hope
DJ! Put it back on
Just like a globe spinning around, even miracles have a process
If you want romance, I'll grant it for you I'll come quickly
Like music I'm yearning for Automatic from the start
You're the only one that's magic, make it come true
(If you only just wish for it... I want to be free like that
If you only just wish for it... I don't want to be apart anymore)
I'm right here (I'm Genie for you, boy!)
If you come too (I'm Genie for your wish)
If we fall in love (I'm Genie for your dream)
If there's still more (I'm Genie for your world)
It will definitely come true
If we fall in love
It's becoming an addiction
Now lastly moving the third and last song by SNSD (소녀시대) I would have to choose 텔레파시 (Telepathy). Just like 무조건 해피엔딩 (Stick Wit U) it is a very peppish song and when listening to it, it makes in a very happy mood. Who doesn't want to be in a happy mood right?
Alright, all you South East Asians I don't know how the US music is looked upon or even listened to internationally. However with my expertise on Chinese pop culture much of the music listened to in Chinese is American Music. So I believe you must listen to artists to some American Artists. Now here since lyrics do play a role I can understand that some people may disagree with the songs I place here but feel free to comment if you have a disagreement. Please also note, I like happy songs and pop songs **if you hate all pop together sorry my music post really can't help you.
Is there a limit of songs I can choose? Haha, ill try to limit myself.
Alright the first song I choose is by Lifehouse. This is proberley my favorite band of all time regardless, the song is Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now...
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you....
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment here with you
The second song by Lifehouse I'd like to share with the community is Simon by Lifehouse. This song is a lot slower and quieter then all the other songs I have shared. I recommend and urge you to listen to this song on your way to bed just softly you will instantly fall asleep!
Catch your breath hit the wall
Scream out loud as you start to crawl
Back in your cage the only place
Where they will leave you alone
Cause the weak will seek the weaker
Til they've broken them
Could you get it back again
Would it be the same
Fulfillment to their lack of strength
At your expense
Left you with no defense
They tore it down
And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same
Locked inside the only place
Where you feel sheltered where you feel safe
You lost yourself in your search
To find something else to hide behind
The fearful always preyed upon your confidence
Did they see the consequence they pushed you around
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones
Breaking them til they've become just another crown
And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same
Refuse to feel, anything at all
Refuse to slip, refuse to fall
Can't be weak, can't stand still
You watch your back cause no one will
You don't know why they had to go this far
Traded your worth for these scars for your only company
Don't believe the lies that they have told to you
Not one word was true
You're alright
You're alright
You're alright
And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same
Alright people, you should know this song and love this song if you like believe in one's self type of songs. It is none other then the emotionally packed song of I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly!
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Chorus:]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Chorus]
Hey, cause I believe in me, oh
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Chorus]
Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye
If your an Austrialian you may actually know this band Bodyjar. I know they were an AUS band but I don't know if they were that popular in the area. The song is Not the Same by Bodyjar!
Don't say I told you so
One thing you'll never know
You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
You're not the same
You've changed
Something's missing anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
That I believed in yesterday
Don't say I told you so
One thing you'll never know
You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
That I believed in yesterday
This song, well let's just say has a very limited group of people that actually enjoy either of these songs. However, I do enjoy quite a bit and I really can't explain why :/. They are Freaxxx and Schitzo by Brokencyde
ONE! TWO!
We're coming for you.
THREE! FOUR!
Lock your door.
FIVE! SIX!
Suck on my dick
BROKENCYDE WILL NEVER DIE!
[x2]
Now I can feel the needle break
Up inside of my veins
They try to tell me I'm insane
But they made me that way
So come and take me away
From this monster that you've made of me
I feel like dying, erasing all of these memories
I'M TRAPPED INSIDE THIS CAGE TONIGHT!
YOU TORTURE MY BRAIN WITH BLADES AND KNIFES!
I NEED YOU TO TRY TO SAVE MY LIFE!
BEFORE I GO INSANE!
In seven days my schizophrenia breaks
[. From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/broken...zo-lyrics.html .]
My brain cavity waves, distorted, DECAYED!
These faces of insane originated this pain
AND INVENTED THESE DEMENTED WAYS TO BREAK ME!
Intoxicated, I'm faded inside my dreams
Motivated on defeating these haters in everything
It's the only thing that keeps me alive
AND KEEPS ME AWAY FROM ALL OF YOUR MOTHER ******* LIES!
I feel my nails rip my flesh
I feel I've gone insane
I never wanted to hurt you
But you made me this way
So now I know I'm crazy
I feel there's no more pain
These voices call out to me
They're screaming out my name
Verse one:
*Screaming*
I walk into the club looking kinda sexy now,
I see these shorties in the corner, they started making out, I pull her pants down, she takes her panties off, then they started getting freaky on the dance floor. Shake it mommy, give it to me, like you need some love, I've got some bottles in the caddy we can open up, let's get drunk tonight, baby we don't have to ****, and bring your friend along, maybe we can have some fun.
Chorus:
Let's get freaky now, let's get ******* freaky now X3
Let's get freaky now, let's get ******* freaky now
Verse two:
I got these bitches all tipsy, trying to sex me, I know they want it alcoholics are some sex freaks, This X and cronic gots me wanting to get messy, so let's get messy girl, come on let's go get messy girl. Come on bitch you know you want this, that hardcore shit, make you feel the toxic, versaoe, rolex watches, bently coups with the 20's dropping, convertible top and the wheels that spin, I can taste that ice when my grill is in, if you want me baby, fill me in, cause I don't waste my time with lesbians.
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/broken...x-lyrics.html]
Chorus:
Let's get freaky now, let's get ******* freaky now X3
Let's get freaky now, let's get ******* freaky now
Pre-Bridge:
Liar! Liar! X4
Bridge:
Oh baby why did you have to lie to me, I can't play no more games, These thoughts are slowly controlling me, It's turning of the flames.
So go baby, Go baby
You don't want me
So go baby, go baby
Come and get me
So go baby, Go baby
You don't want me
So go baby, GO!
Come and get me,
You don't want me,
Come and get me,
You don't want me,
Come and get me.
Pre-Chorus:
(Screaming)
Chorus:
Let's get freaky now, let's get ******* freaky now X3
Let's get freaky now, let's get ******* freaky now
A very good band Goldfinger. One of their singles really has very good lyrics and sound to hit. Here it is Superman by Goldfinger!
So here I am
doing everything I can
holding on to what I am
pretending I'm a superman
I'm trying to keep
the ground on my feet
it seems the world's
falling down around me
the nights are all long
I'm singing this song
to try and make the answers
more than maybe
and I'm so confused
about what to do
sometimes I want
to throw it all away
so here I am
growing older all the time
looking older all the time
feeling younger in my mind
I'm trying to sleep
I lost count of the sheep
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/g/goldfi...an-lyrics.html -]
my mind is racing faster
every minute
what could I do more
yeah I'm really not sure
I know I'm running circles
but I can't quit
and I'm so confused
about what to do
sometimes I want to
throw it all away
controlling everything in site
I'm feeling weak
I don't feel right
you're telling me
I have to change
telling me to act my age
but if all that I can do
is just sit and watch time go
then I'll have to say good bye
life's too short to watch it fly
watch it fly
Second to last I might get haters but it is Drake Bell. Yes the guy from Drake and Josh! The song is You're Not Thinking by Drake Bell!
You show up with your head in your hands.
You said I’m the only one that ever really understands you.
That’s not true.
Take my hands and wipe away your tears.
Whispering would it be okay if I stay here?
And I want you to but I know it’s just a moment.
You’re going to run while the moon’s still shining.
And I can’t fight it.
Please, please, please.
Don’t go and give me those eye, eye, eyes.
I can’t even see that you’re not thinking.
You’re not thinking.
So please, please, please.
You got to let me go.
You, you, you.
You don’t even know…you’re not thinking.
You’re not thinking about me.
Now I got this picture in my head.
Dancing to the words I never said.
But I want to yeah, I have to.
You wore a white dress with a yellow lace.
The night you leaned in and kissed my face.
Remember?
I remember.
I should’ve know it’s just a moment.
You’re going to run while the moon’s still shining.
And you can’t fight it.
Please, please, please.
Don’t go and give me those eye, eye, eyes.
I can’t even see that you’re not thinking.
You’re not thinking.
So please, please, please.
You got to let me go.
You, you, you.
You don’t even know…you’re not thinking.
You’re not thinking about me.
Well, maybe it’s time I stopped crossing these lines.
I can’t seem to draw, and I want to hold on.
But I’m finding it’s hard if this is nothing at all.
Please, please, please.
Don’t go and give me those eye, eye, eyes.
Please, please, please.
Don’t go and give me those eye, eye, eyes.
I can’t even see that you’re not thinking.
You’re not thinking.
So please, please, please.
You got to let me go.
You, you, you.
You don’t even know…you’re not thinking.
You’re not thinking.
Please, please, please.
Don’t go and give me those eye, eye, eyes.
I can’t even see that you’re not thinking.
You’re not thinking.
So please, please, please.
You got to let me go.
You, you, you.
You don’t even know…you’re not thinking.
Alright if not everyone in this room hates me now you will most likely do now. Yes we have done Brokencyde and Drake Bell what could be worse? Miranda Cosgrove! What can I say I like their music and lyrics haha! It is Dancing Crazy by Miranda Cosgrove!
I've got a feeling that it's gonna be alright
We don't know where we're goin' and I don't know where I'm at
I'm kinda thinkin' I don't like nobody else
You know whatever happens, I will be right by your side
You, me in the spotlight
Running around 'til the end of the night
Hot, hot keep it comin'
We can rock out 'til the early morning
You, me, going all night
We don't care who's wrong and who's right
Hot, hot, keep it comin'
We can rock out 'til the early morning
Everybody's dancin', dancin' crazy
And we never stop, we never stop
Everybody's ragin', ragin' crazy
Put your hands up, put your hands up
I like you and you like me
We get together and we're happy
Did you hear me say that?
Did you hear me say that? Smack
And I like the way that we kiss
You and me together like this
Did you hear me say that?
Did you hear me say that? Smack
Another night untold
Just crank that music up
We don't know where we're goin'
And I don't know where I'm at
It doesn't matter 'cause we always know what's up
I know whatever happens, you will be right by my side
You, me, going all night
We don't care who's wrong and who's right
Hot, hot, keep it comin'
We can rock out 'til the early morning
Everybody's dancin', dancin' crazy
And we never stop, we never stop
Everybody's ragin', ragin' crazy
Put your hands up, put your hands up
I like you and you like me
We get together and we're happy
Did you hear me say that?
Did you hear me say that? Smack
And I like the way that we kiss
You and me together like this
Did you hear me say that?
Did you hear me say that? Smack
Everybody's dancin', dancin' crazy
And we never stop, we never stop
Everybody's ragin', ragin' crazy
Put your hands up, put your hands up
Everybody's dancin', dancin' crazy
And we never stop, we never stop
Everybody's ragin', ragin' crazy
Put your hands up, put your hands up
I like you and you like me
We get together and we're happy
Did you hear me say that?
Did you hear me say that? Smack
And I like the way that we kiss
You and me together like this
Did you hear me say that?
Did you hear me say that? Smack
Well thanks for reading and listening to all of this wonderful music (in my opinion!). Well I hope you guys enjoyed my effort of 2+ hours in this post and maybe you found a new fav song who knows!? I look forward to see what everyone else thinks of each others songs!

Instead of posting links which may include watching the first 10seconds and then deciding to move on to the next, I have created a ..................
wait for it....................
YOUTUBE PLAYLIST.
So I did the hardest thing I have ever done in my life - picking a single song from some of my favorite bands to share, yes just one. After countless years of painful deliberation, here's the result- http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...eature=mh_lolz
I enjoy a wide range of music but indie and alternative rock feeds my soul. It consists of around 20 songs and I sincerely hope you fap to this.
