lyrics

1-2-1-2-3-4
Give me more loving than I’ve ever had
Make me feel better when I’m feeling sad
Tell me I’m special even though I know I’m not
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely getting mad
I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
Its as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
You’re the best that I’ve had
And I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It’s easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
You make it easy
It’s easy as 1 2 1 2 3 4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
1-2-3-4
I love you
(I love you) I love you

Beats, anyone?

We love music, right? I mean... Who doesn't? Well there's this one music website where one can listen to some beats. When I first visited it, the site loaded fastly. I have always had this thinking that music websites often take so much time to load. But this site? It's an exception. And the list of music are properly laid out. The site is simple yet elegant. The beats can be played upon your choice and when you like them, you have to register to download it. The fees are quite expensive but I guess the beats are worth the price. Why? It's because these beats are original and they are composed and uploaded by real artists. They may not be that famous but they have the talent to compose beats! Amazing, right? So this site is not just for downloads. You can also submit your composition and become a featured artist. One thing more, once you have downloaded a beat, you can use it to make a song. You can sell, distribute, perform and broadcast the song/video you make with any instrumental downloaded from the site. Jee Juh Productions make all these possible for musically-inclined people who either want to compose, or make use of the beats to come up with a real song. Beats, anyone? Visit their site now.

Unpretty

Whenever one visits my blog, one wonders why its title is "Unpretty". I should have posted the origin of this blog title the first time I got it published. But it's not yet too late to inform you now, right?

The first time I came across the word "unpretty" was when I first heard the song "Unpretty" by TLC. I guess that was almost ten years ago. The song is nice and somehow I started to relate to it when I reached college. I'm also fond of chatting in mIRC and there was once I used it as my nick. But then I stopped using it after finding out there was another girl using the same nick. "Oh well... I can still use it as the title of my blog," I thought. So here, the title of my blog is Unpretty. Why? It's because some people make me feel I am. I can't please everyone, right? And I guess I'd have to live with that. But, I'm still grateful some would say I'm not. Gee, thanks! *winks* I love you! But still... I like the title of my blog, unique! :)

So here's the song I'm referring to. Enjoy the video!:)

One Tree Hill - Soundtrack

"The First Cut Is The Deepest"

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I have
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
If you want I'll try to love again, (try)
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

OOHHH,
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
But when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
Cuz if you want I'll try to love again
(Try to love again, try to love again)
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know, OOHHH....

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

OOHHH, the first cut is the deepest
Baby I know (baby I know)
The first cut is the deepest
Try to love again...

*****

When this song was released some years ago, I liked it without knowing the reason why. I didn't even try to understand what the song means. And then the song didn't linger to my mind any longer that it just slipped out my mind. But when I watched the first season of One Tree Hill, I was reminded of the song. It was then that I tried to listen to the words as Sheryl Crow sang on one episode. Then it hit me. Bullseye! Oh well.. Let's say I can sort of, relate to this song. You know.. that feeling of being hurt over and over again that you start feeling so numb and then your heart is now afraid to give a chance to anyone who comes after a heartbreak... I don't even know which cut is the deepest. There are just too many cuts and scratches. I can hardly remember the first. That's what you get when you easily fall for a crap, when you are so damn sensitive. But my point is: A cut is a cut, may it be deep or shallow. Surely it changes things, even if being unfair is part of it, unfair to the one who helps you recover from the past.

To Whom It May Concern:

I still want you by my side ... maybe i'll try to love again.

a song to die for

Your Guardian Angel
by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold
and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my,
My true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

a friend of mine introduced this song to me and when i heard it for the first time, i felt like crying. emo!!! or whatever... this song only has its own unexplainable way of touching my heart...
