Life in Orange-Tinted Glasses

some kind of a vidspam

I must admit my music library is getting really dusty and rusty and is in serious need (and want, from me lol) of updating. Haven’t got the chance to devote my time to get new albums, but I had been “canvassing” thanks to Grooveshark,  I get to stream albums I’m interested in—fast and continuous. Got the link from Gia. Somehow it can be associated with Last.fm (which reminded me that I created an account last year only to abandon it a few days after with no serious content to begin with lol). Last.fm’s interface and structure is different though. I think Grooveshark is more for listening for yourself than sharing what you listen to to others (at least that’s how I deem it to).

More music matters: Here are three music videos of the songs I like at present. 

“Hey Soul Sister” by Train. The song reminds me of Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s version of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow,” you know, that acoustic folk happy vibe type of music that is just uplifting from the very first strum of the guitar. 

“Sooner or Later” by Michelle Branch. I miss, miss, miss my ultimate idol-musician. I’m really excited about her new album. She says there are changes happening over at her label so they had to postpone the release of “Everything Comes And Goes.” But I want to believe just as what she believes in, that it’s all for the better. Anyway, this is her first single off it. You can really hear the fusion of her country and pop-rock influences. My favorite line? “SOONER OR LATER YOU’RE GONNA WISH YOU HAD ME.” Haha.

“Crazier” by Taylor Swift. I’ve been hearing this song on the radio and as always, Taylor Swift’s songs grow on me. If you listen to the lyrics they’re really simple but what really catches me is the melody, most especially in the chorus, when she croons “you make crazier, crazier…” Later on it dawned on me that it was that song used in the “Hannah Montana Soundtrack.” 

‘Til then. \m/
