Top 2011 Songs I Loved Listening to on Youtube:
1. Moulin Rouge - Come What May (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvJpJl04cAI)
- At the beginning of 2011, I allowed myself infatuations involving 1) a younger guy and: 2)another guy who looks a bit like Ewan McGregor in my infatuated mind. This led me to watch this Moulin Rouge clip over and over again, reveling in the feeling of falling in love with a penniless guy just because his heart is (in my lovelorn mind) pure.
2. Say It's Possible - Terra Naomi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARHyRI9_NB4)
- Another one that tops my 2011 list of songs is this one which I accidentally stumbled upon by searching for a mellow lullabye-like song I've heard a former office mate play (whose title and artist I don't really know so I ended up listening to Jay Brennan songs, guessing it was him.) I never found the song & artist but I came across this which is really nice too.
3. First Love - Utada Hiraku (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RshS5HTM6vo)
- Following the trend of sap, I've been in since the start of 2011, I have decided to give in to insistent LSS (Last Song Syndrome) in my head, searched and found a Toni Gonzaga song, learned it was a remake, then found the original version. Another heart-wrenching song for the wretched emo spirit that won't leave me.
4. When In Rome - The Promise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwGeMYBGffs)
- Another LSS song, this time heard on a new wave soundtrack playing jeep! Remembering the song the next day meant another youtube searching frenzy for me!
5. Die Another Day - Madonna (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwDEqNMb0fE)
- Because of rumours circulating that world will end come May, and because it didn't, this dancy tune suddenly popped in my head in celebration of a postponed world end.
6. Love and Longing - My Sassy Girl OST (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUTXJVo7__A)
- Yet another sappy song, this is the instrumental piano background played at the Korean movie My Sassy Girl when Sassy Girl made Kyunwoo go to the other mountain and she was crying cause she was sorry. This is also the song played when girl told Kyunwoo about her ex-boyfriend who died. Relevance to own life: Feeling blue so listened to this.
7. The Show - South Border (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuleY2iPlpE)
- Went to a party hosted by a friend who just graduated from culinary school. One of his cousins sang this come videoke time which made me remember just how much I liked this hiphop OPM song, never mind the saucy grinding video.
8. Just A Kiss - Lady Antellebum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs9X8NhQJF4)
- Stumbled upon this on Tumblr. A sweet love song that is not tiring to listen to even if repeated all through out the day.
9. Tadhana - Up Dharma Down(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUCwIHAAOC0)
- Heard this on Jam 88.3 on the weekend where they're playing nothing but songs from Filipino artists. I probably developed a liking for this song simply from always hearing it played on the TV as an OST to a GMA telenovela.
10. Arms - Christina Perri (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvbErM6ZTBA)
- Heard this on the radio (probably on RX 93.1 or Mellow 94.7)and though it has a gospel song quality, I can't help but appreciate the heart outpouring albeit cheesy quality of the song and the manner it was sung.
