do the pretty girl rock

Pretty Girl Rock - Parachute (cover)

C and I heard this song at the grocery store today but it was the original version by Keri Hilson. Before this, we only heard the version by Parachute and we fell in love with it after listening to it. So naturally, after we came home, we had to load this video and listen to it. I still think they're a great band. If you don't like this cover, check out their original music.

Video Friday: Mandy Moore

Cry - Mandy Moore (from the soundtrack of A Walk to Remember)

Okay, so I saw Adam Young's tweet the other day and I clicked on his link and found myself at the Youtube page for this video. I know it was a pretty long time ago and if you don't know who Adam Young is, he's from Owl City (or is it Owlcity?). I can't say that I'm not a fan of his music but at the same time, electropop isn't really my type of music. C is a fan of his and she was the one who first got me listening to his songs. So yes, I'm following him on Twitter now.

Back to this video. I've only watched bits and pieces of A Walk to Remember and yes, like all other Nicholas Sparks' stories, it was very touching. You've probably heard of this movie but if you haven't, I'm sure you know The Notebook (starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams). So anyway, I'm glad I found this video (thanks, Adam Young) because I really like Mandy Moore and her music. She's so fun and bubbly and she can actually sing and I really like her hair (!). This video eventually led me to other songs by Mandy Moore like Someday We'll Know (with Jon Foreman from Switchfoot) and also Crush (which is from her 2001 album). Good songs and definitely worth a listen.

Parachute - She is Love

when the time comes, baby don’t run

LYRICS:
She sits at the table, the hours get later
He was supposed to be here
She's sure he would have called
She waits a little longer, there's no one in the driveway
No one's said they've seen him
Why is something wrong?
She looks back to the window, and suddenly the phone rings
A voice says something's happened
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December, she thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knee first, and he said
"I want you forever. Forever and always. Through the good and the bad and the ugly. We'll grow old together, forever and always."

She pulls up to the entrance, she walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls, a maze that's never ending
They talk about what happened, but she can barely hear them
She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the room
She sits by his bedside, held his hand too tight.
They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the good life
The house on the hillside, where they would stay
Stay there forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether rich or for poor, or for better. We'll still love each other. Forever and always.

Then she gets an idea, and calls in the nurses, brings up the Chaplin
And he says a couple verses
She borrows some rings from the couple next door
Everybody's laughing, as the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes, and she says
"I want you forever. Forever and always. Through the good and the bad and the ugly. We'll grow old together, and always remember, whether happy or sad or whatever. We'll still love each other, forever and always. Forever and always. Forever and always."

She finishes the vows, but the beeps are getting too slow
His voice is almost too low.

As he says "I will love you forever. Forever and always. Please just remember even if I'm not there. I'll always love you, forever and always."

I discovered this band by pure accident. It started with Maroon 5's Out of Goodbyes video and I ended up clicking on the related videos because their song Kiss Me Slowly was written with Lady Antebellum.

So there ya go. Parachute. Which consists of Will Anderson (lead singer, guitar and piano), Nate McFarland (lead guitar), Kit French (saxophone and keys), Alex Hargrave (bass) and Johnny Stubblefield (drums). They're like this vintage pop rock (I know this genre sounds ridiculous but with the right bands, it's all good) with a Matchbox 20-ish (?), All American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Maroon 5-ish, Melee and maybe a wee bit of Owlcity fusion. Which comes out sounding really good. I like bands who can sing live and these guys give a good live performance.

Would definitely like to see in concert. (: Loving their new album The Way It Was, by the way.

That is all. Any other song recommendations??

flash forward and we’re taking on the world together

I like cooking. I don't love it yet, though. Just a random thought.

Essays and art make me smile. I like seeing those comments at the end of my essay. It's so fun to let my imagination run wild when I'm writing. Different ideas make me feel good because it isn't the same old thing. It makes everything so interesting. Re-reading is fun because it's different when you're the writer and when you're the reader.

What more can I say about art? It makes me forget about everything. It's the only thing I can concentrate on for a long time, besides reading. Art is so beautiful when the masterpiece is done and you can just hold it back and see the beauty of it. Painting expresses our feelings.

My conclusion of today : First impressions will never change. For example, you meet this girl and you don't like her attitude but later on, you become close friends and realize that you were wrong about her. No, we are never wrong about first impressions. The end comes back to your first impression.

On the bright side,

Tangled trailer (Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as Flynn Rider)

Looks like a cute movie. That sounded childish, I know. But I like modern fairytales with a different twist to the love stories. And the graphics look pretty good.

Yum.

Takers (trailer)

Starring Paul Walker, Idris Elba, Michael Ealy, Hayden Christensen, Chris Brown, Matt Dillon. What's with all the negative comments about it? Everyone is expecting too much. A movie is only good when you don't expect anything. I need to watch a movie badly.

Too many random thoughts.

hey soul sister I don’t wanna miss a single thing

Megan Fox is such a babe.

I love her cameo in the new Eminem ft. Rihanna video. Amazing stuff so go watch it. Eminem is good stuff, I'm telling you. And though I'm not a huge fan of Rihanna, I have to say she does sound less whiny which is good because sometimes I can't stand her voice.

i saw you there, so beautiful

I am in love with Nick Wheeler all over again.

Blame the Warped Tour videos that I just watched. I knew I shouldn't have gone and searched up the 2010 videos. Blehhh! Oh, and blame those cute sneakers he was wearing. I mean, he hasn't worn sneakers in what seems like ages so this is a huge improvement. Must he be so cute? OHMYGODINLOVEWITHNICKOLASWHEELER.

But that pink bicycle must go! ): It must. I mean it. I'm green-eyed, yes, I am.

baby you’re beautiful, there’s nothing wrong with you

Today's confession: I'm in love with Adam Lambert's songs.

AL6

The man himself.

Whataya Want From Me is our vacation song. How cool is that? Love that song. And his live performance is real.

And I've discovered that Aftermath is a pretty good song too. Yay, Adam!

aar

Officially off tour. New record please. I hope they make more good music because they're real good. Toad said on their Twitter that they'll be back on tour sooner than we all think. Toad... just how soon is soon? We don't mind the wait for a new album, really.

gaga

I watched Lady Gaga's Bad Romance video.

Now what do I think of it...?

Hmm.. over dramatized, as usual. Costumes, main idea and all.

And aside from music that I listen to, I watched a Demi Lovato music video on TV today and my mom was absolutely disgusted with her screaming that people call singing. And what's with all the red lipstick? How old is she anyway? 35?

I also watched Party in the USA. It was striptease-worthy and I bet her daddy's way proud of her. I'm no fan of Miley at all. Well, make that all the Disney singers. A batch of screaming youngsters is just what we need in this generation. Way to go, Disney. Why can't we have more people like Debbie Gibson and Mandy Moore and Sara Bareilles?

cupcake

You must be wondering where we've been these few days. Well, we've been having a good time, that's for sure. Now we're back.

Or more precisely, I am back.

I haven't written anything worthy lately and somebody's been egging me to. So here it is. My worthy post of pictures and random captions because I'm sooooo interesting (note sarcasm). I don't really know what to say except for Christmas is around the corner and there's nothing to suggest the spirit of joy because moods have been dampened by stupid relatives who make life hard for others.

You know what? If life didn't have any boundaries or law, I would totally stand up, throw down my napkin and just tell any jerk in their faces to eff off. People can only take so much and if you're making life hard for everybody, someone needs to tell you that we're not your stepping stones and we don't do shoe-shining like Charlie Bucket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Weddings nowadays are just businesses for couples to earn profit from. How nice it must be to rip people off and drain their wallets dry while you celebrate your marriage and expect people to shower you with cold hard cash and gifts. Killing two birds with one stone?

I hate being the only one who listens and cares. I'm not Superman. I can't swallow all of it down and I know it's hard for them too but it's always me the people run to whenever they have something to complain or shed tears about. I care and I want to listen and I want to help you but a triple dose of it everyday just makes me wish I was elsewhere.

And then there are people who are so wrapped in their own business and oblivious to the real world and the harsh truth of life. They just live life as if nothing is happening because they don't care and it doesn't concern them in any way. Go on, blast music, continue spending money like water, continue eating like there's no tomorrow, slice your wrists when you do realize that there is pain in this world, throw hissy fits when nothing pleases you, sulk in the corner, wait for someone to feed you with a silver spoon, ignore us. When you step out into the real world, you won't have a chance.

What do I care?

No one ever said life would be easy.

Where are those headphones when I need them???

I'm no cynic, no, I got a heart of gold.

This line speaks the truth and only the truth about my personality.
