Hanging By A Moment | Lifehouse | No Name Face (2000)
I hear Lifehouse comes to Manila on the 26th. This came out I was in grade 4 but I most associate it with high school dorm life. Good times.
When You Were Young | The Killers | Sam’s Town (2006)
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman like you imagined
When you were young
Valerie | Jamie Lono (Amy Winehouse cover) | from Jamie Lono’s Youtube channel (2012)
Very powerful, hair-raising vocals, wonderful rendition of this song; I think those dogs would agree. To be able to sing THAT well. I covet his voice so much.
Love Lost | The Temper Trap | Conditions (2009)
One of two Australia-based indie bands I’ve been digging recently; the other being Last Dinosaurs.
Crash/Land | In-Flight Safety | We Are An Empire, My Dear (2009)
We’ll hold our hands as we crash-land into the sea
We’ll ride it down into the ground
Just you and me
Prinsesa | Teeth | Dogs Can Fly (1995)
Another of my all-time karaoke staples, because this song is by all means perfect. Something I’d wanna sing to my future bride.
Dalhin mo ako sa iyong palasyo
Maglakad tayo sa hardin ng iyong kaharian
Wala man akong pag-aari pangako ko
Habambuhay kitang pagsisilbihan
O aking prinsesa
Runaway Train | Soul Asylum | Grave Diggers Union (1992)
Forever one of my videoke staples. Call me an old soul when it comes to karaoke music choices.
Cruel To Be Kind | Letters To Cleo (Nick Lowe cover) | 10 Things I Hate About You: Music From The Motion Picture (1999)
F.N.T. | Semisonic | Great Divide (1996)
I’m surprised that you’ve never been told before
That you’re lovely and you’re perfect
And that somebody wants you
I’m surprised that you’ve never been told before
That you’re priceless and you’re precious
Even when you are not new
I Want You To Want Me | Letters To Cleo (Cheap Trick cover) | 10 Things I Hate About You: Music From The Motion Picture (1999)
Say OST for 10 Things I Hate About You and one act comes to mind: Letters To Cleo. Playing at the end scene/credits, LtC performs this atop the fictitious school the characters attend. I can clearly remember: 10 Things being an integral part of my film-viewing teen years.
