The Meme Sunday: Musically Uninclined

It's gonna be meme day today, because I really don't know what to blog about right now, and I just got tagged with two memes that are pretty interesting...

I'm gonna first get this music one out of the way, since Erna forced me to do it...

---------------------------------------------------------------------


One song… from your early childhood: At The Zoo, by Simon & Garfunkel
(Actually, a lot of S&G songs accompanied my childhood, but this is memorable because the animals in the lyrics fascinated me)

One song… you are associating with your first big love: Always Be My Baby, Mariah Carey
(One of the very few Mariah songs I really like, and one she really liked)

One song… you like, but you have got to problems to confess: You’re Beautiful, by James Blunt
(Yes, I like this. So sue me)

One song… which accompanied you, while you where lovesick: Wo Ai Ni, by Wang Jie
(I listened to a lot of depressing Wang Jie songs as a young and lovesick teen. This one was especially depressing because I'd just broke up when it was released...)

One song… you listened to most often in your life: Don’t Look Back in Anger, by Oasis
(No surprises here...)

One song… which is your most favoured instrumental: Forth Eorlingas, from the LOTR: The Two Towers soundtrack
(The Rohan theme gets me everytime)

One song… which represents one of your most favoured bands: 23, by Jimmy Eat World
(Of all their songs, this is the one song I have on reapeat the most times)

One song… in which you recognizes yourself or through which you feel somehow understood: Iris, by the Goo Goo Dolls
(Why do you think I gave myself the nickname 'Eyeris'?)

One song… which reminds you to a certain occasion (and the occasion): Hoi Fut Tin Hong, By Beyond
(Reminds me of the time when I was a young Ah-Beng wannabe in Temerloh who worshipped Beyond, and this song was the most poignant one because it reminds me of the day Wong Ka Kui died.)

One song… you like that is in the Hip-Hop/Rap genre: The Real Slim Shady, by Eminem
(Probably the ONLY rap song I like)

One song… which is the best for you to relax: Better Together, by Jack Johnson
(I'll have to go with Erna on this, because it IS such a relaxing song to listen to, and you can just imagine the coconut trees swaying, the beach, the sun...)

One song… which symbolizes a great time in your life: Summer of ’69, by Bryan Adams
(Ok, so I wasn't born in '69, but change the numbers to '96', and you have one of the best years of my life... Plus this song just reminds me of the good old student days everytime I listen to it...)

One song… which is your most favourite song at the moment: Homesick, by Kings of Convenience
(The most Simon-and-Garfunkel-esque song by KOC, forever immortalised in my mind by the image of them singing it in the dark the other day...)

One song… which you would dedicate to your best friend:
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, by Art Garfunkel (the Monty Python's version better though)
(Because so many of my friends tend to feel down most of the time and really should try to look on the bright side of things...)

One song… where you have got the feeling that no one besides you likes it: Slow Motion, by Third Eye Blind
(The version on the Blue album is fully instrumental, because the actual lyrics are pretty graphic and the record company refused to release the song)

One song… you like because of its lyrics: Brand New Day, by Sting
(one of the few songs I really like but have yet to get my head around to memorising all the lyrics...)

One song… you like very much and which is neither German nor English (I’ll change this to ‘a language which you don’t use regularly): Baska, by Wilki
(A Polish band. The song is essentially about a whole lot of girls....)

One song… which should be played on your funeral: (Good Riddance) Time of Your Life, by Green Day
(It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right, I hope you had the time of your life....)


Go tag yourself lah. I malas. Though I think Su Yin should do it....
