On February 28, 2009, Sioen released his 4th album: 'Calling Up Soweto'. I haven't checked the album or the video on Youtube yet. Maybe soon... ^^ In this album, this Belgian musician featured with Pops Mohammed and Khaya Malangu.
Anyway, all I can remember about Sioen is a song called Crusin'. I saw the video a couple years ago on MTV. It was awesome! I fell in love with the melodies and how he plays the piano. Wonderful.
Here it is...
Staring bright through the window You're bending over to me A sentimental forsaken You're trying hard yet to comfort But you're waving me goodbye A sentimental forsaken
The first time I listened to this song is when I was watching the movie Ice Age 3. It's the cover version though. If I wasn't mistaken, the cover was Chad Fisher's.
After that, I hurriedly search for the original version by Gilbert O'Sullivan and it's way much better than Chad Fisher's I think. The lyric's really deep. About a man who's questioning God and his mercy and blah blah blah.
I don't know why but I really love the guitar. I listen to this again and again lately. Still on my playlist. :D
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally...
A good song about losing someone you love.
Well, if you want to hear it, maybe you should look for it in some 'Memories' album. Because it was released in 1972.
For your information, it's originally Frank and Nancy Sinatra's.
The time is right Your perfume fills my head The stars get red And oh the night's so blue And then I go and spoil it all By saying something stupid Like I love you
I first knew Michael Learns To Rock a couple years ago. I found their cassette on my cousin's car and I love them ever since.
Soft rock never dies. I know it since I knew MLTR. Almost all of their songs are great. This Danish band absolutely make good music.
One of my favorite songs of them is 25 Minutes. I guess it tells about a woman who lost her fiance exactly on their wedding day, while another man's brokenhearted. Tragic and obviously sad. Quite touchy. Just read the lyric...
For those who don't know Michael Learns To Rock, I strongly advise you to buy one of their album. Trust me you won't regret it. ^^
Still from OST A Walk to Remember, a movie adapted from Nicholas Sparks novel with the same title, people who like Only Hope by Mandy Moore maybe also know this song.
Quite a good song. Though I like Only Hope better, but this song is enjoyable enough for me. John Foreman featured in this song, creating a perfect duet with Mandy Moore's soft voice.
No very special thing in this song, though. Just like another romantic-love-song, you'll find splash of pop-romantic (pardon my weirdo term ^^) here. The only thing that captured my attention is some of the lyrics.
Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?
But anyway, I recommend you to listen this song best in you're car, while driving and missing someone.
