10 years ago, I could and would never agree with the elders when they used to claim that their music was better than my era's. Yet, I was browsing through youtube looking for songs I heard like ages ago. Some goes back to my deepest memory. Weird.... I started to understand and have the same feeling they had. Those song just rock my heart way way way more than the music I used to listen in the last 10 years.
Of course I could not post them all. It'd be a VERY long list. Here, I would like to share some I used to love so much but have almost never listened to anymore. Some of which I couldn't even find in the last 10 years as they were not as popular but now I get to listent o them thanks to youtube. I almost forgot how they are supposed to make me feel (those days when we were young and plain like a blank piece of paper) till very recently. Finally, I found songs that describe my feeling to the love of my life.
A dedication to my most beloved Xu Xu:
Jordan Hill-Remember me this way 1995 (Casper soundtrack)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzIyctnB1NU
Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
**You're the best friend that I've found
I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay**
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Hmm...........Remember me this way
**I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me**
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
Forever more a part of me, you're everywhere
I'll always care
(Repeat *)
And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe
(Repeat *)

鄧麗君-月亮代表我的心 Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snq5ZLaL6y8
你問我愛你有多深 我愛你有幾分
我的情也真 我的愛也真 月亮代表我的心
你問我愛你有多深 我愛你有幾分
我的情不移 我的愛不變 月亮代表我的心
輕輕的一個吻 已經打動我的心 深深的一段情 教我思念到如今
你問我愛你有多深 我愛你有幾分
你去想一想 你去看一看 月亮代表我的心
Jody Benson- Part of Your World 1989 (The little Mermaid soundtrack)
I had always LOVED this song. This song is here coz it seems to describe Xu Xu's feeling towards life. God,... I miss her.
Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRMq7r7K_Ng&feature=related
Look at this stuff
isn't it neat?
wouldn't you think my collection's complete? (Xu Xu's toys, 10 beds, 5 toilets, 6 cages, etc)**wouldn't you think I'm the girl
the girl who has everything?**
look at this trove
treasures untold
how many wonders can one cavern hold?
**looking around here you'd think
sure, she's got everything**
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
(you want thingamabobs? I've got 20!) I GOT MORE!!!but who cares?
no big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are(I wanna do more! I am not only smart, I am funny)
I wanna see wanna see 'em dancing walking around on those
(what do you call 'em? oh, feet) (walk on 2 legs... wow!) flipping your fins you don't get to far (I want to try to swim) legs are required for jumping, dancing (I want to jump... I want run like leopard on TV)strolling along down a
(what's that word again?) street (T_T the hamster harness is too big and it strangles me) up where they walk
up where they run
up where they stay all day in the sun (wow... how nice... grass, wind, sun....) wandering free (without eaten by a dog or cat? or snatch by strangers.) wish I could be
part of that world
(not a cage or a house)what would I give
if I could live
out of these waters? (fly, dive) what would I pay (hamster snack? no playtime for a week?) to spend a day
warm on the sand? (not my bath sand) bet'cha on land
they understand
bet they don't reprimand their daughters
bright young women
sick of swimming (better than swirming in cages) ready to stand (ready to explore and show mummy) and ready to know what the people know
ask 'em my questions and get some answers
what's a fire and why does it
(what's the word?) burn (mum never let me play in kitchen) when's it my turn? (to say what and do what I want) wouldn't I love
love to explore that shore above?
out of the sea (out of this cage) wish I could be
part of that world
(be with mummy in her world, not mine)
Atlantic Starr-I'll remember you 1994
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQRg52rJCJY
Words have left us all alone
And something's come between us
To turn the fire cold
Thoughts that chase you in the night
Silently the storm
The life from in your eyes
And I remain alone, no matter who
may try and take your place
CHORUS:
And I'll remember you
The dreams we could of dreamed
The tears I should have seen
We used to say forever
But I'll remember you
Your pure and simple heart Your shadows painted dark
**I will always love you
I'll remember you**
Summer rain to fallen snow
We knew that it would last
But there's no way to know
It's such a storm that's in the sky
**quietly will pass, quietly we'll cry
And here I stand, alone with every
promise melted through my hands**
(Chorus)
**Oh, and I remain, alone no matter
who may try and take your place**
(Chorus 2x)
I'll remember you....
I'll remember you.....
Diana Ross- When you tell me that you love me 1991
last but not least, always the first: Video:
I wanna call the starsDown from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible I wanna do I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness And what it does
**You walked into my life
To stop my tears**
Everything's easy now
I have you here
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
**I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me** You love me
When you tell me that you love me
