    ~.~!!Another New ALL TIME FAV!! :)

    I like listening to music and watching movies. When talk about my all time favs for music with Ricky, i told  him that i had only several songs that were my all time favs. and today im really happy (had a bad day but does not prevent from being happy :) as i find a new song getting into my all time fav. before i tell what is that song i will hav short intros for those couple of already-members :)

    My very first all time fav is not something rock or pop, rather is something not so expecte. This song is called "Tuesday Morning" by Mchelle Branch, found at her 2nd album "Hotel Paper". I listened to this song round 5 years ago, and I liked this song straight away. As i mentioned to Ricky, being my all time favs do not need to be a top-selling record or award-winning reputated piece of arts. Most of needed is to match what i have been experiencing. And by that time i was in China, having my 2nd year at Middle School Education, having crisis on own personality and parenthood, it was one of the darkest periods in my early stage of life. I experienced amnesia as i fell from somewhere tall too. When every morning i wake up, it is as dark as the song describes, so lonely and so helpless, having no direction and being lost. I still remembered how i always sit on my bed with my walkman on, looking through the window and at the sky. It is my first all time fav since then.
    my 2nd one is by My Chemical Romance, called "Famous Last Words". This song did not evokes as much memories as others. But I chose this song was because when i listened to it, i felt so infiltrated by anger and wanna express them just like the way the singers shouted. It is kind of those psychotic experience that I pretended to be somewhere that i am distant to. i started liking this song just begining of last year i thnk....:) but yeah, since then rock msic is never been away from my playlist....

    my 3rd one is by Alicia Keys' "No One", from her album "As I Am". This song was chosen just because it happened at the time that I failed to get into medicine. It is kind of relief to tell myself that i am feeling for what i feel, for the people i care. And it is a song which guided me happily through this supposed to be an ESLD (end stage 'live'(r) disease) :) 

    Finally its my newest member of ALL TIME FAV, and before I tell the song name nd artists, i just mention about why i like this song. I had this song for like 4 months, but i just started listening recently (today!). I do ask myself that is it to quick to add it to my ATF?? I basically recall the reasons for the previous ATFs and i realised that the most important thng is how its descriptive languages resonate with my own feeling and experience.

    This song, with no exageration, is one of the most romantic tune i ever heard.... with also romantic lyrics. It is abt DEATH! whch ive been thinking of everytime i had a bad day (not that i wanna die, but feels like dying....:) the song is that one dies and the lover follows, guiding into dark.

    OK. This song is called "I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK" by DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE!!

    when i feel somewhere between death and life, i recalls what happned in my different stages of life (even i had ba memories:). this song is really resonating with my thought is because its descriptive terms such as hell and heavens' "No" at vacancy signs, really does make me feel. . . nothin matters when life is gne. esp in the lyrics, one guiding the other after death.... this promise is not somthing pple normally hang on their mouth these days (not like 'I LOVE YOU', year rite?!:) the season i think of is AUTUMN!! ha ha, yeah the time when the leaves fall down and supposd to be a color of orange like SUNSET!! :) but the low temperature reflects the warmth under the jackets ....  just like listening to this song make me feel warm in such cold and deathly days... yea, it is rite... there is nothing to cry abt, evven if heaven or hell say no, and no one besides, i wil be fine as into dark away the illuminations of it. ENJOY THE LYRICS BELOW :) my official 4th ALL TIME FAVS!!

    DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE LYRICS

    "I Will Follow You Into The Dark"

    Love of mine some day you will die
    But I'll be close behind
    I'll follow you into the dark

    No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
    Just our hands clasped so tight
    Waiting for the hint of a spark
    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

    In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
    I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
    And I held my tongue as she told me
    "Son fear is the heart of love"
    So I never went back

    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

    You and me have seen everything to see
    From Bangkok to Calgary
    And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
    The time for sleep is now
    It's nothing to cry about
    Cause we'll hold each other soon
    The blackest of rooms

    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark
    Then I'll follow you into the dark
