NOTHING FAILS by Madonna

This is a beautiful song by MADONNA that was unjustly ignored in the wake of the American Life controversy. I consider this as the strongest and most moving track from that album and even though it was released as the third single- its very unfortunate that Madonna or her recording label decided not to release a video for this one. Had it been the first single, it would probably have become a classic ballad hit like any "Frozen" or "Live to Tell."

I really like this song. The gospel climax is particularly special.
Definitely one of her most underrated singles.

NOTHING FAILS

Nothing fails No more fears Nothing fails You washed away my tears...

WHATTAYA WANT FROM ME? (Live Acoustic)

Idol Season 8 runner up Adam Lambert scored his first Billboard top ten single with the first track from his debut album For Your Entertainment.
The song Whattaya Want From Me leaps from #023 to #010 position (after having stalled at 23 for about four weeks!).

Guess his performance on Idol gave the song a big boost (Digital single sales seem to be a big part of it).

(whattaya want from me?)

The song was actually written by PINK for her fifth studio album FUNHOUSE but didn't make it to the final cut. :D

A Taste of POMPLAMOOSE

If you are a Youtube addict, you probably encounter this singing couple Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn or otherwise known as Pomplamoose, which means grapefruit (from the word pamplemousse) in French language.

They made a name in covering songs, recording all the parts themselves in their home, make a video then post it in their YouTube channel. As of April 2010, the duo has garnered significant fan support with approximately 117,000 subscribers!!..that's a lot ha?Anyway, here's one of their original song titled IF U THINK YOU NEED SOME LOVIN' which I dig it a lot!...it's so cute and addictive!



Check out they're channel too, lot of good music there!...

You Are The Only ONE I Love

I literally "accidentally" came across with this beautiful song...glad I did!

(you are the only one i love)

The first time that I met you i knew
One day i would know you even better
When people tried to tell me "do not fall for him"
I told myself "don't let them get to you"

You are the only one i love
You are the only one i love
You are the only one i love to love

You are the only one i love
You are the only one i love
You are the only one

The first thing that you said to me was
"jamie i love you, jamie i love you, jamie, jamie, i love you"
And i've never been one to believe in love at first sight
But now i know it exists

You are the only one i love
You are the only one i love
You are the only one i love to love

You are the only one i love
You are the only one i love
You are the only one

We went for walks through leaves in parks
Your winter sleeve was pulled over my hand
Oh don't you know i thought of you when on st. mark's
I saw some other man collecting cans

You are the only one i love
You are the only one i love
You are the only one i love to love

You are the only one i love
You are the only one i love
You are the only one

Von loves Peter

I'm in a bit of a cheesy 80s mood lately, if there is such a thing. If posting Bryan Adams didn't prove it, maybe this songs will?!

NEXT TIME I FALL IN LOVE Hearing Peter Cetera's voice takes me back. Fantastic!! He is the voice of Chicago. He still sounds perfect!


YOU'RE THE INSPIRATION I love the arrangement, especially the latter part, where the wind section blended with the strings. Classic!



GLORY OF LOVE I like it so much that I cannot help listening to it at least once a day!



AFTER ALL Beautiful song, always loved it, and cetera is grande as always!


This horribly and wonderfully corny songs from Peter Cetera has been stuck in my head on and off all week. Malapit na nga kong matuluyan nito e! lol!

When you love someone....

When you love someone
you'll sacrifice
You'd give it everything you got and
you won't think twice
You'd risk it all - no matter what may come
When you love someone...

by Bryan Adams

Ganito yata talaga pag sobrang mahal mo yung tao...(sigh!)

JARS OF CLAY Live and Acoustic

When I think about inspirational songs in time for the Holy week, the first thing come to my mind is the christian rock band JARS OF CLAY. Like The Beatles, the group demonstrated a certain versatility, mixing catchy pop tune to intense folk-rock. And what i heart about them?- their honest and deep lyrics, haunting melodies, and ability to adapt and change their sound through the years and yet manage to make every song great.

Check out their songs below:

LOVE SONG FOR A SAVIOUR this song will never get old!..Amazing!
