Music Monday - The Way You Look Tonight

Wasn't sure if this fits Music Monday today, but allow me please to post it as such. It's still a song from an unforgettable scene in My Bestfriend's Wedding.

Brought tears to my eyes the first time I watched it. I think it was very honorable of Julia's character not to let her feelings known. I can imagine that her heart must have beat like a drum, as she was contemplating whether to say or not to say that she has loved him after all those years.

"If you love someone you say it,...
you say it right then, out loud,...
or the moment just... passes you by."

"The Way You Look Tonight"

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.

You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.
Darling
Just the way you look tonight.

Music Monday - Hallowed Be Thy Name by Steve Kuban

I'm overwhelmed with gladness to find this song on Youtube. Am surprised actually that Steve Kuban's videos are there too. Thank the Lord for modern technology!

I love this song, it brings back wonderful memories of all the revival conferences I've been to during the seemingly most difficult times (as I saw it) in the late 90s. This song is a reminder after all these years, that I was able to overcome, just as Jesus has promised (John 16:33)

To God be the glory!

Steve Kuban – Hallowed Be Thy Name

Hallowed be Thy Name
Jehovah God You reign
And You will never change, O Lord
Forever You're the same

Jehovah-Jireh
You supply my every need
Jehovah-Rapha
Perfect health You give to me

Jehovah-Shalom
You're the One who gives me peace
Jehovah-Rohi
My faithful Shepherd leading me

Jehovah-Mekaddesh
You're the One who makes me clean
Jehovah-Tsidkenu
Imparting righteousness to me

Jehovah-Nissi
Lord, You reign in victory
Jehovah-Shammah
You are always there for me

Music Monday - Each Passing Night

It was again by chance that I heard this song in front of a discount store the other evening, and it struck me sentimental when I heard it again. I love Gary V's songs, especially his songs from the 80's. I love his songs more too when they are worship songs. They bring me to tears, really.

With "Each Passing Night", though, it has a different story for me. I remember playing this hit's cassette tape together with Gary V's other songs while I was reviewing for my thesis subject and completing my research work. This song kept me awake while reviewing for my exams. I remember another combo that I had when I was reviewing - the nuts and coffee! I didn't need memory-boosting vitamins anymore with all that, indeed. Back again to this sentimental song, yes, it left me good memories of passing with flying colors in my thesis subject. It's meaning was so positive and soothing for me, as it still is now. Thanks Gary V! May God bless you always!

Enjoy listening, happy MM!

Each passing night
I try and close my eyes
But thoughts of you
They wake me up
And tear me inside out

Each passing night
I ask myself who's right
And try to find the reasons why
It had to end that night

Didn't we share each other's dreams
We held each other tight
Ang tears fell from my eyes
As you walked and left me here
Like the wind you passed me by
I try but I can't see
If it's something that I said
Baby please won't you tell me now
'Cause it gets harder each passing night

I often pray
That you'd come back and stay
We've had too much together
To ever live a part
I'll wait and see
'Cause I know and I believe
Someday you'll come to realize
What you and I can be

Then we'll share each other's dreams
We'll held each other tight
Kiss the tears that burn my eyes
'Cause you walked and left me here

Like the wind you passed me by
I try but I can't see
If it's something that I said
Baby, please won't you tell me now
'Cause it gets harder each passing night

I never meant to hurt your heart this way
Sooner or later
There'd be someone else who'd stay

Didn't we share each other's dreams
(share each other's dreams)
You tear me inside out
(and tears fell from my eyes)
Someday you'd realize
(as you walked and left me here)

Like the wind you passed me by
(I try but I can't see)
Kiss the tears that burn my eyes
(Baby please won't you tell me now)
'Cause it gets harder each passing night
(I try but I can't see)
I try but I can't see
(Kiss the tears that burn my eyes)
Please tell me baby
(Please won't you tell me now)
'Cause it gets harder each passing night

It gets harder each passing night
It gets harder each passing night
It gets harder each passing night
Let your love bring back the light

Music Monday - Your Song

This song gives me goosebumps now that I hear it again!

I honestly don't know what song to post for Music Monday today, I am thinking along the lines of something related to my hubby and I's 17th anniversary. It could be "I Remember You", or could also be "Against All Odds". But I wanted something new, something that we both like. Then just 3 days ago, my friend/cousin/classmate Mars , the realty specialist, posted the lyrics on her facebook wall:
"So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen" ... to which I commented back, "Hey, mapapakanta ako nyan, Mars! It's from a favorite movie Moulin Rouge"

This morning, I heard the song again when it was sung by TV5's Sapul Sa Singko main hosts. Got that as a sign,so now I'm posting :)

Let me share the lyrics, originally by Elton John...

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

I love the movie, that is why I love the song! Happy MM!

MM- Oceans Will Part by Hillsong

I love this worship song, it echoes my thoughts this month - indeed!

There are times in my life that I have doubts, especially in solving long-standing problems. I feel in my spirit that the Lord wants me to take that first step and act by faith. In this song I envision that, as I take that first step, all things regarding my issues will open up favorably. That is my hope, that is by faith.

It indeed took me more than a month to meditate on God's Word most importantly because it had to do with some fixing in me personally for my fears. I recall the moment, in the book of Exodus, when Moses parted the Red Sea - the sea did not open up, not until they took that first step into the water. Sheer faith, illogical as it may seem.. but that is how God works. His instructions differ to each and everyone, we cannot question. It is simply God's opportunity to prove that He is powerful!

I can't say what it is I'm going through in detail, I'm sorry, but it has something to do with some papers I need to get sorted - yet due to lack of funds I've dilly-dallied. Took me years to make my needs known to relatives and thankfully they've offered help. I just need to take that first step and trust the Lord, continue to pray for His guidance.

Happy MM, everyone!

Music Monday - Heart Of A Servant by City Harvest Church

For a change of pace, I'd like to share this song we often sing at church during worship. It echoes our very thoughts of surrendering to God's will despite any circumstance.

These past few days I've noticed God's wake up call for change. I am in awe of how precious life can be in the midst of the world's turmoil. But we must be glad, that Christ came to this earth to save, to give us a good life. Christ also overcame this world for our sake, so we need not worry but simply surrender to His guidance.

Music Monday - Out of Touch by Hall and Oates

Music Monday again!

Found this song again as shared to me by a friend! I so love love love this song! Memories of the 80s again, 1985 to be exact and it's one of the cool songs by Hall and Oates.

How I find this song as a happy memory could be sure thanks to MTV and VH1 shows and the local radio stations that I was always tuned to. I was an avid music video fan and I guess a 24-hour radio listener (of course, minus those class hours hehe)

Music Monday - Maybe This Time

I love love love this song by Murphy Michael, a song of the Eighties!
I chose this song because it seems to ring inside my head when I meet friends from a not so distant past. Even when not really meeting in person, if I may say, but just online thru social networks.

Recently a schoolmate posted something along the lines of " If a person is truly for you, despite the years that passed that you've parted ways, you will meet each other when the WRONG is could now be RIGHT and if there will be no hindrances to your relationship" I think the shout-out was meant for a few still single classmates, who maybe dancing to this song together :)

Still don't know who they are, we are respecting privacy and avoiding gossip within our highschool batch. But we are always happy for them.

Music Monday - Sinta by Aegis

I'm a huge fan of Aegis Band, much to the ridicule of my relatives (they say only their maids love them) but hey! I won my relatives over in this area, now they love Aegis too!

For me, I play their songs for "therapeutic purposes" too. Especially when I've had a bad day by being calm and quiet in the midst of threats and insults, like when we've been visited by a drunk neighbor carrying a gun; when somebody questions my authority too much; when my hubby and I were driver/co-pilot in our jeepney route and a bully (Siga) threatened us with a crowbar; or when my in-laws are normally behaving. Wala lang, it's just my short-term anger management cure. Aegis makes me laugh inside, that indeed, whatever it is... it will pass!

Music Monday - First Cut Is The Deepest

I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she's taking almost all that I've got
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
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but 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

'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

Yes, I'm definitely playing MM now :) To share my feel-good songs that I listen to!

The story behind this, nothing in particular. But this song makes me feel good, a comfort during my uh-oh times in London in 2003. I love the melody and the lyrics. It's what I call "bourgeoisie", ha ha. The song makes me look back with bittersweet memory but in fact I feel happy listening to it!
