Songs on Repeat 04082023 (Saturday) - Fight Song

 My mantra as life goes on. Because everyday, I struggle for something. 

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Songs on Repeat 03222017 (Wednesday) - How Far I'll Go

This song has been repeating in my head since the time I have watched the movie with my little girl. The movie is really good. My daughter and I have to finish it in one sitting.  And we were like always saying in the end that it is indeed a beautiful movie.

 

 

I've been standing at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try

Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I can not go
Though I long to be

See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go

Oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

I know, everybody on this island seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know, everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine

I can…

I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?

See the light as it shines on the sea it's blinding
But no one knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?

See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, how far I'll go

Song on Repeat 11242016 (Thursday) - Locked Away

I just love the beat and the lyrics itself. Brought me back while we were on the road going back to Manila from Bicol.

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?


Right about now...
If a judge for life me...
Would you stay by my side?
Or is ya gonna say good-bye?
Can you tell me right now?
If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life
Shawty, would it be alright
Come and show me that you are down (ah-ha)

Now tell me would you really ride for me? (would you really ride for me?)
Baby, tell me would you die for me? (tell me would you die for me?)
Would you spend your whole life with me? (what's up?)
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me? (would you really cry for me?)
Baby, don't lie to me (baby, don't lie to me)
If I didn't have anything... (what's up?)
I wanna know would you stick around?


If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?


Skiddly-dong-dong-dong dang
All I want is somebody real who don't need much
A gal I know that I can trust...
To be here when money low
If I did not have nothing else to give but love...
Would that even be enough?
Gal, meh need fi know (ah-ha)

Now tell me would you really ride for me? (would you really ride for me?)
Baby, tell me would you die for me? (tell me would you die for me?)
Would you spend your whole life with me? (what's up?)
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me? (would you really cry for me?)
Baby, don't lie to me (baby, don't lie to me)
If I didn't have anything... (what's up?)
I wanna know would you stick around?


If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?

[R. City:]
Tell me, tell me, would you want me? (want me)
Tell me, tell me, would you call me? (call me)
If you knew I wasn't ballin'
'Cause I need a gal who's always by my side...
Tell me, tell me, do you need me? (need me)
Tell me, tell me, do you love me yea?
Or is ya just tryna play me?
'Cause I need a gal to hold me down for life...


If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?

Would you still love me the same?

Song on Repeat 11172016 (Thursday) - When You Say Nothing at All

I logged in to my Spotify account and started playing the throwback Thursday playlist and then this song caught me. It got me reminiscing my college days when Ronan Keating's boy band Boyzone were on top of the chart for this song from the movie Notting Hill. Though, the irony is, I haven't watch Notting Hill in the big screen because I didn't have any extra money from my allowances back then.


It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may they can never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

Song on Repeat 09162016 (Friday) - One Call Away

I became curious once while we were on the way back to Manila from Bicol last June vacation because my little girl seems to love the lyrics well of this song.  She would sing this often whenever she hears it play on the radio or on youtube or on the cellphone.

Charlie Puth might have captured me with the beat as well as the content of the song.  And the superman we always we wanted in our life. And He is just one call away.

I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away

Call me, baby, if you need a friend
I just wanna give you love
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Reaching out to you, so take a chance

No matter where you go
You know you're not alone

I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away

Come along with me and don't be scared
I just wanna set you free
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
You and me can make it anywhere
For now, we can stay here for a while
'Cause you know, I just wanna see you smile

No matter where you go
You know you're not alone

I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away

And when you're weak I'll be strong
I'm gonna keep holding on
Now don't you worry, it won't be long
Darling, and when you feel like hope is gone
Just run into my arms

I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one, I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away

I'm only one call away

Song on Repeat 09092016 (Friday) - Feel the Light

I heard this song from the movie Home and it captivates me. It is an encouraging song for me. My daughter loves it. Sang by Jennifer Lopez.

Here I go here I go
Feel better now feel better now
Here I go here I go
It's better now feel better now

Do you remember when we fell under
Did you expect me to reason with thunder
I still remember when time was frozen
What seemed forever was just a moment
Hurry up, hurry up
There's no more waiting
We're still worth saving

Feel the light
Shining in the dark of night
Remember what we forgot
I know it's a long shot
But we're bringing it all back we're bringing it all back
Feel the light
Shining like the stars tonight
Remember what we forgot
I know it's a long shot
But we're bringing it all back we're bringing it all back

Here I go here I go
Feel better now feel better now
Here I go here I go
It's better now feel better now

I still remember when things were broken
But put together the cracks will closin'

Hurry up hurry up
There's no more waiting
We're still worth saving

Feel the light
Shining in the dark of night
Remember what we forgot
I know it's a long shot
But we're bringing it all back we're bringing it all back

Feel the light
Shining like the stars tonight
Remember what we forgot
I know it's a longshot
But we're bringing it all back we're bringing it all back

You and I can have it all tonight
So let's bring it back it to light
Now we have another chance to fly
Another chance to make it right

Feel the light
Shining in the dark of night
Remember what we forgot
I know it's a long shot

Feel the light
Shining like the stars tonight
Remember what we forgot
I know it's a long shot
But we're bringing it all back we're bringing it all back

Here we go here we go
Feel better now feel better now

Here we go, here we go
It's better now feel better now

Song on Repeat 09042016 (Sunday) - Something I need

 The music I have stumbled upon the movie of Vilma Santos and Angel Locsin which also shed me tons of tears even after watching it over and over again.

I just love the beat of the song.

But I prefer the lyrics of Ben Haenow.

Below is the lyrics:

Something I need

I had a dream the other night
About how we only get one life
Woke me up right after two
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn't lose my mind

And I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you could tell
But you're like the net under the ledge
When I go flying off the edge
You go flying off as well

And if you're only here once I wanna live with
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we're only here once, (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we're only here once, (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you)

Last night I think I drank too much, yeah
Call it our temporary crutch, hey
With broken words I've tried to say
Honey don't you be afraid
If we got nothing we got us (Yeah)

And if you're only here once I wanna live with
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we're only here once, (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you, you)

I know that we're not the same
But I'm so damn glad that we made it
To this time, this time, now (yeah)

You got something I need
Yeah in this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we're only here once I wanna live with you (heeyy)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we're only here once, (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one loving me
And if we're only here once, (hey)
I wanna live with you (you, you, you)

If we're only here once (hey) I wanna live with
If we only live once I wanna live with you
