"I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)"
This is one of those songs that you swear you hate the moment you hear it but after a few listens, you're stuckewd to it. That was what happened to me. I downloaded it out of curiosity and now I actually like it. It's upbeat. It's funny. And it's enlightening. What is there not to like about the song.
NO 9
Rascal Flatts
"My Wish"
I call this the trip back to Malaysia song. I heard the track for the first time when I was driving in the car and put Mix.fm on. Even listening to this song again, puts me back to August 2007 when I was driving from my house to Tabuan Jaya. I still remember being at one of those junctions waiting for the red light to turn green while listening to this song. I absolutely love the lyrics. Call it country, call it whatever you want, I still love the lyrics. It's the kind of song you can sing to the person you love the most.
(what a bummer though that they didn't make an official video to this song)
NO 8
Lily Allen
"Alfie"
What made this song so dear to me now was that we sang this song during our graduation at the Japanese Language School last March. We were trying to look for a upbeat song to sing during our graduation. We have chosen Vitamin C's Graduation (Friend Forever) as our soapy song already so we were desperately in need of a song that could put a smile on people's face. I let one of my classmates hear this song and she immediately thought that the tune was cute and funny. After changing the lyrics to something that could sum up the personalities of each and every classmate, the five of us (that were in charge of performance) performed this track during our mini graduation party. People enjoyed it a lot. And I enjoyed it a lot too. Listening to this song again reminds me of all the times we rehearsed this song. Sigh...good all times.
NO 7
Kate Nash
"Foundations"
This song is extremely British. I mean British to a point that if you are anti British, you will die of a chronic pain. With her heavy accent, crazy British pronunciations, Kate Nash managed to release one of the biggest pop singles in the UK. I still remember listening to this song while we were in the intership program (which we named ESPRO : Education Summer Programme). Those were some good times. We laughed about a lot of things. Yes, we knew that we were there to learn but at the same time, since it was during our summer vacation, we tried our best to enjoy ourself as well. And that we did.
