Songs I Love Lately

Austin, 20th February 2009

If you have been my roomie or know me more than normal. Then you probably know this. When I like a song, I'd play it continously, again and again, for about three days to a week. Then after that the hype starts to slow down. When I was in secondary school, it was Big Yellow Taxi by Counting Crows. I sang that song going to school and coming home from school. Not for two years of course, but I remember, it went for quite some time. Last semester it was Ingrid Michaelson's songs. Last summer, it was Marie Digby. So, yeah, apparently I like songs in a very timely manner.

So, I just want to share three songs that I listen to often lately. They are all different in terms of genre and message, but I love them all.

First is "By My Side" by Tenth Avenue North. I heard it the first time in ICF's Saturday Morning Fellowship last week from Ivan. I fell in love immediately because it resonates with me and how it reminds me that I am loved tremendously.



The second one is "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. I first heard in on the radio and thought it was an OK song and forgot all about it. Then, Jennifer Chung, one of my favorite youtube artist did a cover of it and I thought it was really cute. I started viewing the original video and as always, could not stop repeating it. It brings out the princessy side of me, the unrealistic, chick-flick lover girl who wants a pink unicorn for her birthday.



And the last one is a sing I knew from radityadika.com. The Indonesian blogger turned book writer turned actor who has a movie coming out next month. This song is one of the track for the movie. It's called "Adelaide Sky" by Adhithia Sofyan, a singer songwriter from Indonesia. I actually haven't listened to it as much as the other two. But, I probably will in a few days after I get over my "By My Side" hype.
