"Inspirational songs of my life" is a title that wirte basically to just describe songs of my life. Be it chinese or english songs, they are something thats hold the key to the different era of my life. Some songs allow want to feel crazy, perhaps just turn on into a very hyperactive mode, while there are also songs that at times, turn down the mood, allowing one to look back, at those memories.
For me, both english and chinese song struck me in my entire lifetime now, for instants, during my childhood time, during primary 5 & 6, I entered the music of the famous boyband, Westlife. Having many nice tunes from, "my love, I lay my love on you" etc.... These were the very first english songs that i had listened. Not to say, very popular at that point of time, so I was quite influenced under my friends at that time. Soon, I was being mesmerized, by not only the song but paying attention to the lyrics, every word of it. Perhaps, thats how I really got addicted to such lovely music. During at a point of time, it somehow brought me back to where I used to be so young and innocence, the period where I was living at the eastside, which I called it my second home. Those days, where i would visit the beach, cycle and even had some family gathering at the beach bungalow. During that time, Westlife were the music of my time and my very first songs of my life.
Soon, there were quite a huge popularity to chinese music, which occur during my secondary school life. I was firstly introduced to this group of 3, formed by 3 girls, they were know as S.H.E, back then they were not so high profilic group, however just by their first two albums, I was really drowning into the music. So there were also Jay Chou, Linkin Park and many more, I was really so into music that at times, they were somehow my friends, my companion and whenever i was down or happy, they would always play a significant role there. recalling back, I do not own a desktop like my other friends, thus I was looking around for CDs and saving money to play it on my radio. Although, I got my everything later then anyone, I still really miss those times, where I would go home, sitting down on my chair, listening to the beautiful musics.
I would like to say, there are no really favourite songs to me, as there are quite a couple to it, and really depending to which era of my life you are talking about. For primary school, well it's My Love by Westlife, which signify those fond memories of my younger days, friendship bond in fact. Secondary school time, there were quite a number, and most of them are chinese and most of them were emotional songs of my life, thinking back, there were both positive and negative thoughts back then. Right now, I'm with desktop, thus, I got more favourite songs, so I am more than contended.
Songs, music and lyrics, they are something that combine and blend well together, to form up into a formula, They are something that allow me to travel back to the particular era. A good song, allow one to really inmerse in it, drown to it, craved more for it or at times even caused one to feel so touched that the drop tears to show our appreciation. They play a huge role when one is down alone, they are like friends, there for you, cheering you up at times, and sometimes naughty at times, causing you cry for instant, thinking about past negative memories. But they are usually something for you to past time quickly.
I'm sitting alone, with my cup of hot tea. On the radio, pick up a random piece of CD to play, soon came by a music, closing my eyes slowly, I feel every single word ringing into my ears. Picked up the cup of hot tea, then I had a sip of it, placing it down slowly. I continued to be mesmerize by the song, A few minutes past, however, I instantly press the repeat button, wanting to listen it once again, never had I really felt bored listening it again, Soon, I started to think back, that one can never be young forever, cherishing it rather than losing it, I treasure my time even more now. However, not to be afraid, music is the key to my past, something that is so important, that I will never lose it. It is safely kept in my heart, not letting it slip away.
My next entry shall hold off for the moment, will be back soon again=)
