Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball

"We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain" For my surprise, I really like this one. I expected to hate it, but I don't. And being naked in the video, for me is accepting vulnerability. "All I wanted was to break your walls, all you ever did was wreck me". We build walls around us, but when love is involved, both "you" and "me" should be surrounded by the same wall. (together, stronger)

It's a hard knock ... ROAR!

So the first time I've heared Katy Perry's Roar, I started singing in my head " It's a hard knock life, for us..." The eye of the tiger or the hard kick? Well I guess it depends on us how we live the life we're given. Fighting or complaining. Do you have the Roar factor?

Rose Colored Glasses

Hey guys! Long time sience I've posted here. So life goes on and on with or without my thoughts, but I think maybe it's nicer if I have something to say :-) The song for today is about denial (and bravery). Refusing to let go of that one person causing pain over and over and you giving back love over and over. Is it foolishness or are we sometimes just scared? Or maybe we don't even know we have accustomed to be treated badly? I don't know. But I surely know, one has to be brave to take those rose colored glasses off. Think, look deep inside you and be brave!

Stay (I Miss You)

Lisa (Anne) Loeb... pentru cei care au trait constient in perioada anilor '90, probabil ca acest nume le spune ceva. Eu unul asociez numele cu piesa care a lansat-o, "Stay (I Miss You)" Gandul m-a adus la aceasta piesa pentru ca in urma cu cateva luni, din cauza mea, am pierdut un prieten foarte drag mie. So this song is for you my dear friend. I'm sorry and I miss you!

Vicci Martinez - Afraid to sleep

The finalist of "The Voice" 2011, Vicci Martinez sang on tuesday night an original song, named Afraid to sleep. For me it was the best original among the other 3 songs. Even thow I kind of wanted Dia Frampton to win the show ( I'm a big fan of Meg&Dia - song Monster rooooks!!!), this is the song that remained in my head after the show.
What do you think?

Mirror in the sky, what is love?

Au trecut aproape patru luni din 2011 si pana acum se pare a fi un an bun.
Stau si ma uit la Glee (da, recunosc ma uit si la asa ceva, ...doar e cu muzica :D). Sunt unele cantece pe care nu am auzit niciodata, dar care cu mare curaj isi fac loc in playlistul meu pentru cantece de suflet. Este cazul si urmatorului cantec, Landslide.
Ma aflu intr-un moment de tranzitie din viata mea... si mi-e frica pentru ca nu mai am varsta la care joaca sa primeze.
Anyway, se pare ca mai nou foarte greu ma pot aduna sa postez ceva aici. Toata lumea (inclusiv subsemnatul) foloseste la greu facebook, twitter si se pare ca incet incet blogul pare sa piarda teren.
Cand eram in anii liceului si chiar si primii ani de facultate iubeam acest "sport". Eram mult prea introvertit ca sa imi pot permite luxul de a trai cu adeavrat in viata reala. Imi puneam un cantec pe repeat sau mare era minunea sa mearga mai multe piese in timpul starii de creatie pentru ca imi doream o anumita stare. Azi, acum, ascult Landslide. Sunt nostalgic, dar e o melodie genial de... constientizare a sentimentelor.
Tie iti place?

Eurovision 2011 Romania's winner (choice)

As many know, the Romanian (National) Final of Eurovision was held the night between years. I personally got to watch live (ha, form tv broadcast) only 4 performances. After that, I saw them all, but glad to have had time only for those four. I have to say from the start that my hopes were not that high. Before the live show, my mind was set for Claudia, Leticia or (don't shoot me) Mihai Alexandru. Claudia Pavel was such a disappointment for me as she was my favourite. It seemed like she was in a competition with the female backing-vocal(sorry for not knowing her name), named "who sings louder" and sometimes out of tune. Leticia was decent but far from the studio version. Mihai Alexandru (now you can shoot me) ... what was I thinking? A big NO!
I won't say anyting for the other contestants because they were not my favourites, except of course for the winner.
Hotel FM. The second time in the finals seemed to have brought them luck (with the song Change). 
The first time I heard the song I said to myself - "nice song, but what's with the chorus?, it spoiles everything". And for me it sounded like a song from the 80's, definitely not one for 2011. I have to admit (like Sanda Ladosi loool) they had a very decent performance and good vocals. After about 5 times hearing their song, it kind of got to me. They deserved to win for what they presented on the New Years Eve.
I think we will qualify to the finals, but still, in my mind even to this day, something is not quite right. Mabe because it sounds too old-fashioned and something I've heard before. For example (not plagiarism), the beat from "Pictures of Me"- Elliot Smith, a song from 1997 from the album Either/Or. Listen to both carefully. What do you say/think? Let me know your thoughts about our representatives.


P.S. I do not own the pictures or the music video files, for informational purpose only.

My favourite song right now! Cat & Mouse FTW!!!

A couple of months ago I heared a song that stuck to my head a few days but for some reason I forgot about it. Last night I heared it again and ohhh sweet sound to my ears. Made me jam along instantly :D

Simplu, sunt cuvinte, dar e dorinta mea de Anul Nou!

Stereo Love by Kait Weston/Rosenblum (Best Cover)

For the past week I have been listening to Kaitlyn Rosenblum's and I decided to write a post about her. I stumbled upon her music while searching covers for the song "Stereo Love" and I was so surprised. You'll see (hear) why.
She is a young singer from Westchester NY, the winner of Tyler Ward's USA Live Lounge contest. Unfortunately I don't know her age, but it really doesn't matter because her voice it's all that matters.
As today is december 31st, I want to wish to my family, friends and all the readers a Happy New Year! I hope the year 2011 will bring the happiness that we all need.
So... here it is the best cover of "Stereo Love". I hope you'll enjoy it as I do!
