Music. Is 1 of e few that could actually reach out straight to my heart & literally ‘touch’ it. Wat I mean is, it is so inspirational, so impactful, it never fails to make me feel… How should I say it (it’s a v indescribable feeling). Great music (especially sad songs) always seem to literally bring me into the story, e emotional state, & it seems that ‘I’ (who is supposed to be listening to e music) have disappeared. I can totally feel e song, e agony… e hurt… Watever, it is.
It is how powerful music ‘affects’ me. It can totally make me cry, upset, high, happy & so on. Just with that 1 song. It will do e job.
Some songs… e music. I totally love e chinese instrumentals. It’s just simply lovely. e lyrics. How meaningful or sad they are… Or realistic, it seems. e mtv. e story. e story e song is trying to tell…
Today, I actually wanted to share a list of songs that never fail to touch my heart/ make me full of emotions while I was traveling in the train earlier… That was my initial intention. But I think I’ll just change it to just ONE song. Coz’ I heard it in my mp3 player and thought maybe, I’d just share this one 1st… IF I WERE A BOY. By Beyonce Knowles.
If I were a boy even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted
And go drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
‘Cause they stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
‘Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
‘Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleeping alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
‘Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
‘Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
‘Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say it’s just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
And you don’t understand, oh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
‘Cause you’re taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you’re just a boy
I like how e mtv/ lyrics/ story goes… I think this song reaches out to many girls out there. e lyrics are so spot-on and I like e way e guy & girl switches roles for that 1 day. It would be great IF IT COULD BE REALITY so that these guys know how it feels. And then at the end of it, it ends with “But you’re just a boy”. Which is, pretty much, back to reality. This song is simply so meaningful and ‘lovely’. And sad…
