Music It is

Another tag by The twilightfairy
This time its about music.

1. Which song is being played in your mind right now?

“You were my everything” by Aviation.
I’ve heard this one over 60 times today. So what else could blare in my head right at this instant?

2. One song that describes your life…. (no self made compositions please)

“Patience” by Take That
“Bad Day” by Daniel Powter
“Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol
“Trouble Sleeping” by The Perishers
“It ends tonight” by The All American Rejects
“It’s not Over” by Daughtry

Life’s so byzantine and convoluted that to encapsulate it within one song would be entirely out of question. So maybe the assortment here might paint a faint sketch of me. It’s got more to do with feel and the mood of the songs than with the lyrics....

3.The song you listen to most on your Ipod/Mp3 player/Cell/PC etc…

Most songs have a relatively short shelf-life when it comes to me. I listen repeatedly to a song until it isn’t fresh anymore or until I find another one. Poor “Dave”, who unfortunately is my neighbour, has to endure the same song repeatedly blaring from my speakers – mostly I use the repeat mode. Like it is “You were my everything” from Aviation today, “Paas Aaya Kyon” last week, Rihanna’s “Umbrella” the week before that and “Laare Choote” sometime in April ;)

But then there are those that surpass all boundaries and are a pleasure to the ears. These are the few that I turn to when I am down and out and need to rejuvenate, when I am happy and want to feel exuberant, when I am dismal and want to feel better and sometimes fro no reason at all. A few such that I can recollect right at this instant, I’ll mention below.

“Iris” –Goo Goo Dolls
“Hero” – Enrique Iglesias
“The Reason” - Hoobastank
“You’re Beautiful” - James Blunt
“Dream On” – Aerosmith
“Words” – Boyzone
“Hotel California” – Eagles
“Stairway to Heaven” – Led Zeppelin
“When you say nothing at all” – Ronan Keating
“Thank You” – Dido
“Diary of Jane” – Breaking Benjamin
“Horse with no name” –Americans
“Late GoodBye” – Poets of the Fall
“So Sick of Love songs” – Ne-Yo as well as the female version
“Wonderwall” - Oasis

Guess, I’d better stop here and move on.

4. A song that best describes the following days in your life.

School/College Days –“Summer of ’69” by Bryan Adams. Nothing else strikes my memory when you say school days. The selection is self explanatory.

Love – haven’t experienced it. So I’ll just quote the most romantic songs I’ve heard.
“Nothing in the world” by Atomic Kitten
“She’s Everything” by Brad Paisley. The lovely lyrics epitomize the perfect girlfriend I guess. I might be wrong, though.

Mood right now – “Colorblind” by Darius. Confused yet feels fine. Replace the girl in the song with workload.

5. Your all time favourite song, and the reason for it... maybe some memory/ some funny story/etc!!!
“Yeh Haseen Waadiyaan” from Roja
Rehman’s first and his best.

I remember singing this in some compulsory singing competition in school(must have been in class IV then) and amazingly ended up being selected for the school choir.

6. A song u wish u hadn't heard!!! (more than one is always a pleasure!!!)
Him(s)hesh Reshammiya -- No second thoughts on that.
Man!!! Is he a pain in the arse???

On a trip from Mysore to Ooty the driver couldn’t seem to get enough of him and we had to endure the songs all along the 6 hour trip and no prizes for guessing who ended up with a headache.

7. A song that would best describe..... Me[twilightfairy]
(Hey, I took pains to tag u, I guess I deserve this ;-) )
I do not know much about you. Everything I know about you is from reading the posts on your blog. So you maybe just come across as sweet and nice.
I am tempted to say “Angel of the Morning” by The Pretenders ;)

But then let me go with this lovely piece – “The Mass” by Era. Note the aura in the song.

8. If you were in an elevator with Himesh Reshammiya and Altaf Raja, you would..........
Murder Himesh by slitting his throat. Or cut off his nose, so he further can’t sing. Altaf doesn’t bother me that much.

Now to further tag somebody, I'd like to see Dave(my music GURU) write a similar one as and when he starts his blog. For now 'Rampage' I tag.
