Music Highlights 101: Debut Post - The Script, Augustana, & Ne-yo!



Everybody loves music… I mean, who doesn’t right?!


Music portrays one’s thoughts, ideas, feelings or any other expression they wanna let out… It sooth the soul, goes with your mood or even change it! So here are four songs I want to share just because they have their own “special-ness” in them, they’re part of my current Favorite’s list!


Playlist #1


The Man Who Can’t Be Moved

By The Script


The Script is an Irish band composed of a three-man team namely Danny O' Donnoghue (Vocals), Mark Sheehan (Guitar) and Glen Power (Drums). The band became active sometime around 2001 with their alternative rock genre but it’s only recent that their self-titled debut album came out.


I haven’t heard their debut single “We Cry” yet, but I bet it’s as good as their other song “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved”, a song that makes a lot of people happy and sad at the same time. If you don’t relate to what I say, here is the vid!




(Posting the wonderful lyrics too.. :D)


Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not...broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Policeman says son you can't stay here,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm

and maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
[Repeat in background]

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.



That ‘sad… hopeful… love’ (-Arvin) is just about the right comment for what this song wants to portray. Although it doesn’t really become ones’ LSS (Last Song Syndrome or that songs that keeps playing over and over in your head), it still portrays a bitter-sweet story, kinda what I’m feeling right now *cough*.


Too bad the story of the song didn’t have a closure though… Would have wanted to know if he found the girl… *sniff*




Playlist #2:


Sweet and Low

By Augustana


Active since 2003, Augustana has released two albums already. Their current one, Can’t Hurt, Can’t Love is hitting the charts with their single “Sweet and Low” (which I prefer better than their previous hit Boston.

Here’s their haunting and emotional video about not giving up on love. (Dan Layus is such a cuttieee!! XD)





Playlist #3


Closer

Ne-yo


…Do I really have to emphasize on this fast rising star? XD One for the LSS, Ne-yo’s Closer simply makes me want to put the groove on and sing the tune without ever getting tired of it! I’m really amazed at the video too! ‘Really wanna know how the effects with the lights were made… XD




…Hope you like the songs i featured! More music highlights in future posts! =)
