MM – Little Things by AHMIR*

The month of August came and left with quite a few challenges, good and bad. Not wanting to dwell on the latter, my focus this post is the good namely the official nuptials of my little brother, which happened to fall on the same date as my birthday.

So it was a double celebration this past Merdeka weekend and though it was a little hectic, all's well that ends well for my brother and his new bride who are now taking a break before resuming preparations for the groom’s side of the wedding reception at the end of this new month.

This joyous end in August calls for a musical start to my first week of September and what better song to feature than the beautiful birthday dedication I received from my Love this year? 

Originally performed by the awesome (yes, I am a fan!) One Direction, this number with a soulful take by AHMIR is one that has recently made it to my Spotify playlist. So here’s sharing this wonderful dedication with my readers. Have a great September people and Happy Music Monday!

MM - Boys of Summer by Don Henley *

I am back and I am giving my back-to-blogging mode a kick start with a truly awesome Music Monday song selection from when else but the good old 80s!  

Boys of Summer by Don Henley makes me want to go on a road trip; windows down, hair blowing in the wind, music blaring and heading to some unknown destination with my Love in tow! Yeah … freedom from home worries and any other downer that just make life so complicated sometimes.  

From song title to melody, I adore everything about this song. But most of all, I love the story behind the words so happy listening and hopefully, this song would give you the PMU you need to start your week with a great Music Monday!

MM – A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay *

This week, I am truly, madly and deeply in love with Coldplay and their recently released song 'A Sky Full of Stars'. If you have not heard this number yet, do take a listen. Then, tell me you love the lyrics and the melody as much as I do!

First and foremost, I just love the dreamy song title. A Sky Full of Stars also makes me believe in everything that’s nice in the world and it allows me forget the sadness and uncertainty that sometimes seep through our daily lives. More importantly, I think of blue skies, rainbow and everything inspiring whenever I listen to the words especially.

Such a beautiful feel-good tune truly deserves a dedication in its honour so this one goes out to my Darling - Happy Music Monday!

MM – We’ve Got Tonight by Phil Phillips *

When I found out Phil Phillips, the dark horse of this season’s American Idol was going to sing We’ve Got Tonight, originally sung by Bob Seger way back in 1978 and later recorded as a duet by Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton in 1983, I was in ecstasy!

Even B jumped when I suddenly screamed and clapped my hands in glee the moment I heard Jimmy (American Idol’s mentor) said he had chosen this song for Phil Phillips to sing in last week’s Top 3 vital performance. I could not ask for a better song, thanks Jimmy for reading the mind of this incurable romantic!

I love what Jimmy had to say about this song. A deep meaningful song, with a dark edge to it and all the emotions of a romantic, aching soul, complete with a haunting melody and lyrics indeed! No wonder this has always been one of my all-time favourite classic songs when it comes to sad love songs with words so beautiful you just wanna cry!

Results show last Friday was totally intense and as much as I love Jessica Sanchez, I was really hoping for a PP – Joshua finale. It is such a shame that Joshua Ledet, the obvious best singer of this season, will not be fighting in the finale, don’t you think?

Yes, I’m posting three different versions of this song because I love them all, starting from the latest version by Phil Phillips. Let’s hope this super duper cutie pie makes it all the way to the Top! Happy Music Monday and please vote for Phil Phillips, America!

MM - Larut by Dewa 19 *

I am totally in the mood for a love song from Indonesia’s rock band Dewa 19 this Music Monday. How I wish ALL my readers could understand the lyrics to this beautiful number; truly simplistic and yet so deeply meaningful. I am dedicating this love song to my Darling and hoping all goes well at work today… ILY!
