Common Featuring Lily Allen
"Drivin' Me Wild"
I am not the biggest fan of hip hop but from time to time, you got to give hip hop artist as well as rap artist for their creative talent. The moment I heard the lyrics to this song, I was all over it. With a simple chorus (sang by Lily Allen), this could be one of the few hip hop / rap tracks that gets me going this year. Not forgetting the fact that listening to this track will remind me of Clyde, a lecturer at my university who is a huge fan of hip hop and who also taught me a lot about thinking from the opposite spectrum. Meeting him for only the past few months, truly helped to develop my mind. Too bad he's leaving Japan next year to further his education in the states.

Thirsty Merc
"20 Good Reasons"
Listening to this song again right now as I am typing this reminds me of the many times I listen to this song while on the train. Looking at people who seemed so distant from one another, I began to long for the time I am back in Kuching again. I am not sure how many reasons I need to love someone, but I know now that even 1 reason is good enough. I can't wait to be back in Kuching again. Hehehe.
NO 13
Avril Lavigne
"When You're Gone"
I have no idea who can sum up 2007 without including this song in the list. This is THE song of 2007. The song that the radio played non stop from the moment it was released as a single until today. After the ridiculously catchy Girlfriend, I got to admit from the begining of the song, I am hooked. More importantly though, this is the song that I listened to over and over again whenever I call my cousin cause this is his ringtone. Gosh...just hearing this song brings me back to August and September this year. Ahh...good all times.

Damien Rice
"9 Crimes"
This song bugged me for months. Even until now. I have no idea what does the lyric mean but all I know is I can sing along to it. I remember this song word by word already. It's spooky. It's creepy. It's frighteningly good. A typical Damien Rice song with a great video for a twist. This song reminds me of the time I spent in Asia Bunka Kaikan (my Japanese language school). I still remember listening to this song while walking from my language school to the train station to go and work as an English conversation partner. I think this could be the year that I actually became a semi fan of Damien Rice.

Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore
"Way Back Into Love"
I am not exactly a huge fan of movies but I remember this year around February when I was dead bored cause there was nothing else to do and I decided to download a movie to watch. I downloaded Music and Lyrics and boy, it was funny. It was cutesy funny. And one of the songs from the movie was this simple ballad entitled "Way Back Into Love". Even after all this months, I still like this song. Nothing complicated about it. It has all the cliched lyrics and more.
