A BEAUTIFUL MESS by Jason Mraz


This is a beautiful song by Jason Mraz...
















I am endlessly touched by the lyrics and the meaning behind those soulful voice.
This song is really about pure, innocent, true love; A love that beats all the odds and all the flaws. It is about seeing someone perfectly imperfect.

I melt listening to this song...



A BEAUTIFUL MESS


You've got the best of both worlds


You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,


And lift him back up again


You are strong but you're needy,


Humble but you're greedy


And based on your body language,


And shoddy cursive I've been reading


Your style is quite selective,


though your mind is rather reckless


Well I guess it just suggests


that this is just what happiness is




Hey, what a beautiful mess this is


It's like picking up trash in dresses




Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write


Kind of turn themselves into knives


And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction


But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear


'Cause here we are, here we are



Although you were biased I love your advice


Your comebacks they're quick


And probably have to do with your insecurities


There's no shame in being crazy,


Depending on how you take these


Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging




And what a beautiful mess, yes it is


It's like picking up trash in dresses




Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say


Kind of turn themselves into blades


And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard


But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt


Cause here, here we are, Here we are


Here we are
[x7]


We're still here


What a beautiful mess, this is


It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"



Through, timeless words and priceless pictures

We'll fly like birds not of this earth



And tides they turn and hearts disfigure


But that's no concern when we're wounded together



And we, tore our dresses and stained our shirts


But its nice today. Oh the way it was so worth it.

BAD HABIT



"Para kang yosi di ko maalis

Para kang kapeng nakakapaso ang init

Para kang beer kung tumama sa akin


Para kang coke na nakakaadik!..."



ANG CUTE NG KANTANG 'TO!...NAKAKAALIW!

Akuztik Pick 11: Mason Jennings


One of the best-kept secrets in pop music is singer/songwriter Mason Jennings.
If you like intricate guitar work, powerful, emotive vocals and strong lyrical content, chances are you’ll dig this dude.
Listen to one of his song titled FIGHTER GIRL- the first single from his 2008 album In the Ever (under Brushfire records). This is also a classic example of acoustic pop-folk and the perfect starting point to introduce you to Mason Jenning's music.

OMG!


I'm definitely not the biggest USHER fan but i’m really liking his sexy new single OMG (featuring will.i.am), a track from his sixth studio album Raymond v. Raymond!...
At first, I wasn’t hook of the single. In fact, I actually thought it was crap!...But then the more I heard it, the catchier it became.
usher-omg


The song already reached #01 in the Billboard chart making it his ninth number one single.

THE REASON acoustic


I hadn't heard this song in a very long time until yesterday...It's brilliant and I have been listening to it like all day, along with some other old alternative, rock tunes. Seriously, the past years had some serious tunes. I miss the old days. =(

hoobastank- the reason


In it's simplicity, this song has it all. Beautiful arrangement and very powerful lyrics... sorrow, change, and hope. This song does not have the word "love" in it, yet the four word refrain make this one of the most powerful love songs there is.

LADY IN RED


I've been listening to this all night.
This song is immortal...the passion is always there!

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind

The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek

There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red (I love you.)

My Favorite Mistake...



I can hear my heart as I see you
and I
try to smile so you wouldn't know that
I'm missing you,
but no matter how hard
I try,
I can still feel the pain
because

without you
things will never be the same..


It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone,
when you're heart still does!


MY FAVORITE MISTAKE

DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL Live in Manila!


UPDATE:
JOHN MAYER Live in Manila was originally scheduled to happen this May. But it has been moved to October 1, 2010. I heard tickets holders can opt to hold onto their ticket or get a refund.


Next in Manila concert scene are my favorite rock band DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL. They've been around for a while but they really broke into the scene when they did "Vindicated" for Spider-man and when the alternative love song "Stolen" become a huge hit worlwide. Now Chris Carrabba and his boys are coming to Manila to give Filipinos more of their music. (Concert details here.)

And from their latest studio album After the Ending, check out the acoustic version of the first single Belle of the Boulevard:
