My Current Favorite Tunes

Right now, I'm listening to Last Chance in my iPod. Originally performed by Allure, the version I'm listening to is that of MYMP. Here are the lyrics:

This is my last dance with you
This is my only chance to do all I can do
To let you know that what I feel for you is real

This is the last chance for us
This is the moment that I just cannot let end
Before I know that there's a chance were more than friends

So dont let go, don't let go
Make it last all night
This is my last chance to make you mine

I kept my feelings so deep
I kept my dreams of you and me somewhere inside
Although I prayed that you would see it in my eyes

But this is my last chance to say
What's in my heart before you stay out of my life
And then you'll understand the way I feel inside

So hold me close cause it feels so right
This is my last chance to make you mine
Make this dream reality
So close and yet so far
Gotta find a way into your heart
Gotta speak my mind
Gotta open up to you this time
I can't let you slip away tonight
This is my last dance with you

This is my only chance to do all I can do
To let you know that what I feel for you is so real
So dont let go
Just make it last all night long
This is my last chance to make you mine, yeah
To make you mine

Hmn.. bagay pang JS prom! =)

Last Chance is actually part of a playlist which I named February 2007. I renamed the playlist as such, the songs of which I selected using the On The Go function of my iPod. One of my noteworthy selections is the song Someone Like You which, I never realized, I had 3 versions! One version is done by Shawn Colvin, while the other two were by Dina Caroll and Van Morisson from the soundtrack of Bridget Jones's Diary 1 and 2, respectively. As it turns out, Vanessa Willians also has a version of it, though I don't have that one. I must concede, it's a beautiful song, and I think the lyrics are worth posting here:

I've been searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
I've been travelling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps me satisfied.
Someone exactly like you.

I've been travellin a hard road
Lookin' for someone exactly like you
I've been carryin my heavy load
Waiting for the light to come shining through.
Someone like you makes it all worth while
Someone like you keeps me satisfied.
Someone exactly like you.

I've been doin some soul searching
To find out where youre at
I've been up and down the highway
In all kinds of foreign lands
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps me satisfied.
Someone exactly like you.

I've been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different drum.
But my baby, I have realised
The best is yet to come.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps me satisfied.
Someone exactly like you.

Another song which always come up whenever I play my songs at random is Feels Like Home by Chantal Kreviazuk from the album Songs From Dawson's Creek. Now, I can't help but like it. So, here it is, Feels Like Home:

There's something in your eyes
Makes me wanna lose my self,
Makes me wanna lose myself in your heart,
There's something in your voice
That makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
For the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely
My life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks down the long dark street
And a siren rings in the night
But I'm all right cause I have you here with me,
And I can almost see through the dark there is light

Well if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.

And lastly, here are the lyrics of one of my all time favorite OPM songs - When I Met You by the Apo Hiking Society. I used to wait for it to be played on the radio just so I can record it. Thankfully, I now have a CD copy of the APO tribute album special edition which contains both the revival and the original versions.

(Boboy)There I was an empty piece of shell
Just minding my own world
Without even knowing
What love and life were all about

(All) Then you came, you brought me out of the shell
You gave the world to me and before I knew
There I was so in love with you

(Danny) You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I’m feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I’ve gone beyond existing
(All) And it all began
When I met you…

(All) I love the touch of your hand
And when I look in your eyes I just know
I know I’m on to something good
And I’m sure my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world
And take all my cares
Away with the aching part of me

(Danny) You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I’m feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I’ve gone beyond existing
(All) And it all began
When I met you…

(All) You taught me how to love
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My life was different from the yesterday I knew
You taught me how to love
Darling I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever

[Instrumental]

(All) And I’m sure when evening comes around
I know we’ll be making love like never before
My love who could ask for more

(Danny) You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I’m feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I’ve gone beyond existing
(All) And it all began
When I met you…

When I met you... oh

(Danny) You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I’m feeling (All) (I love what I'm feeling)
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I’ve gone beyond existing
(All) And it all began
When I met you.

Hay, I just love this song...

Hmn. Ang aga ng Valentine's day ko. Hehe. Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day! =)
