Today’s song choice is an old one that I used to hear when I was very young in Indonesia. It’s a Japanese song and I’ll always remember this song, even though I don’t understand the lyrics ha ha ha…

For some reason, a song is like a smell from the past. Every time I listen to this song, it took me back to the past with that musty smell…a very familiar smell that made me feel comfortable. I feel like being a little girl again, trying to sing the lyrics even though I didn’t understand the meaning. That’s one of the most beautiful things about music or songs, don’t you think so? You don’t have to understand the lyrics to enjoy the music (even though it does help to understand the lyrics, but still…).

So, hopefully you’ll enjoy this song as much as I do…now let me just close my eyes while listening to this song and be transported back to 20 years ago…mmmm…Here’s Mayumi Itsuwa with “Kokoro No Tomo”.

I’m in a ROMANTIC mood right now, so I’m going to share this song that fits hubby and I. We knew we loved each other even before we met each other, but of course we had to make sure that we really clicked in real life as well…because in cyber space you can be anyone you want, right?

This song is dedicated to hubby…you’re really my home, the home I’ve been searching for…I want to grow old with you and bear your kids if God wills it. We’ve gone through so much together, especially during our long-distance relationship. It was tough years (being apart), but I’m GLAD we made it!!!

Thank you for being you. You make me feel happy and safe. These lines really reflect what I feel for you, hubby: “I knew I loved you before I met you…I think I dreamed you into life…I knew I loved you before I met you…I have been waiting all my life…”

“I Knew I Loved You”

by Savage Garden

Maybe its intuition
Some things you just don’t question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I’ve found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
A little crazy but I believe

I knew I loved you, before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you, before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There’s just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I’m searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
A little crazy but I believe…

I knew I loved you, before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you, before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

(A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you)

(I knew I loved you, before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you, before I met you
I have been waiting all my life) ~ 2X

(I knew I loved you, before I met you
I knew I loved you)

Okay, it’s time to introduce some Finnish singers again called The Northern Kings. They’re singing the rendition of Tina Turner’s “We Don’t Need Another Hero”. I SIMPLY LOVE them all. Click on the above link to learn who they are.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do he he he…

We Don’t Need Another Hero

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can’t make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear ’till nothing else remains

We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home

All we want is life beyond, the Thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There’s got to be something better out there:
Love and compassion
Their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air

And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear ’till nothing else remains
All the children say:

We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home

All we want is life beyond, the Thunderdome

Will our story shine like a light?
We leave only a mark!
So, what do we do with our lives?
Or end in the dark?
Give it all or nothing

We don’t need another hero…

TikTak - Mutta Ma Rakastan Sua

Pidän vapaudesta (I like freedom)
Pidän musiikista (I like music)
Pidän siitä kun jalat vie ja järki luovuttaa (I like it when feet lead me and common sense gives up)
Pidän ystävistä (I like friends)
Niistä eläimistä (Those animals)
Pidän siitä kun aamuneljään ollaan hereillä (I like staying awake at 4 am)

refrain:

Mutta mä rakastan sua (But I love you)
Sitä kun sä tuut ikkunaan (When you come to the window)
Kun sä pudotat avaimen ja se kieppuu ilmassa (When you drop the key and it swings in the air)
Mutta mä rakastan sua (But I love you)
Kun sä odotat ovella (When you wait by the door)
Pidän siitä kun sä synnyit tähän samaan maailmaan (I like it when you were born into this same world)

Pidän hämärästä (I like twilight)
Ihmisvilinästä (Human hustle and bustle)
Kun joku vanha pari pitää toistaan kädestä (When an old couple hold hands)
Pidän kaupungista (I like the city)
Pidän kolinasta, (I like the noise)
Joka tulee kun loikkaa viisi viime porrasta (That I hear when I jump the last five steps of the stairs)

refrain:

Katson nimikirjaimiin (I look at the initials)
Harmaisiin, haalenneisiin (Grey and pale)
Vanhoihin luokkakuviin (Old class pictures)
(Vanhoihin luokkakuviin) (Old class pictures)
Vähemmän kuin aiemmin (Less than before)

refrain

Mutta mä rakastan sua (But I love you)
Sitä kun sä tuut ikkunaan (When you come to the window)
Kun sä pudotat avaimen ja se kieppuu ilmassa (When you drop the key and it swings in the air)
Mutta mä rakastan sua (But I love you)
Kun sä odotat ovella (When you wait at the door)
Pidän siitä kun äkkiä ei tarvi juostakaan (I like it when all of a sudden we don’t need to run)
Kun ollaan liikkumatta ihan paikallaan (When we stay still where we are)
