Michael Buble – Missing Soundtrack

Second Best…

You know you f%*ked up big time when you are listening to always on my mind for the nth time…..

Personally I love the Willie Nelson Version best…….but am gonna let our man Michael Buble sing it in his dreamy voice…to soften the blow…..and make it seem less achy and breaky…..

Always On My Mind~ Michael Buble

Archie Comics was my thing growing up…… The whole tension between Betty, Archie and His Veronica was appalling..The whole triangle thing got me very frustrated and worked up every single time……I hated Archie.. I don’t know about you but all my life I wondered “How the hell Archie couldn’t see how hopelessly in love Betty was with him?” , I just couldn’t get over the fact he was such a d*&khead…..and yet I borrowed the comics from the library day after day every summer for years…just hoping one day they would end up together…..

But the authors being the bunch of sadist b**tards they were kept taunting me with the almost there moments….

The moral of the story however was don’t waste your time on messy triangles or quadrangles….

I always thought that the whole Ethel and Jughead story was soo down played…..they were my next favorite because I was secretly rooting for Ethel to win over the absolutely cool Jughead….there was this one story that stayed with me….. Ethel asks Betty to write down everywhere that she would get over Archie….which Betty half heartedly carries out……the story ended with Ethel going home and writing everywhere that she would get over Jughead… I don’t know why but I thought it was funny and at the same time a little sad……

If only all that we wrote made any difference……..

If only….

“If I made you feel second best
Girl, I’m sorry I was blind”

A Mystery…

I think we need a chirpy song today….because its a windy day……

A feel good number,,,,,

I guess we need our man Buble today…..

Everything ~ Michael Buble

We all wish we meant the world to someone….

or atleast we were the someone in that someone’s world…..

The thing I love here about Buble is that he makes the thought magical for me…..

“You’re a falling star, you’re the get away car.
You’re the line in the sand when I go too far.
You’re the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you’re the perfect thing to say.”

Kinda makes you want to be the girl he sang this for…..

“And you play it coy but it’s kinda cute.
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don’t pretend that you don’t know it’s true.
’cause you can see it when I look at you.”

It’s his voice …..smooth like honey…….and there you are smiling like a goof…..

“You’re a carousel, you’re a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You’re a mystery, you’re from outer space,
You’re every minute of my everyday.”

That last line kills me every time…….

Corny like cotton candy…… but somehow not the cringe worthy kinda corny…..

And …..for my favorite part……

“It’s you, it’s you, you make me sing.
You’re every line, you’re every word, you’re everything.”

Now wait for it…the best part….he goes all broody and low…..

“You’re every song, and I sing along.
‘Cause you’re my everything.”

I remember asking this a few years ago……now am going to ask again……

“Mom, Find me a Buble!”

Seriously Ma, about time!

Dream The Dream….

How do you make a start? ….. a start on something bittersweet….. I am conscious of the fact that this little project of mine is starting to have a very heavy, deep, dark undertone to it….. I could either choose to brighten it up or leave it be…. Actually I dont care what kind of theme or pattern it follows….. All I care about is the picture and the song that mean something to me…..

Coming back to the soundtrack….. I remember the theme was bittersweet…. well let me remind Euston(i.e. blogville) I am no music critic and my taste in music is just “Mine” not out there to be categorized…..for people who stay away from Home….. stay away from everything they have ever known all their life…moving from town to town……. Michael Buble- Home

This song defines home like no other (well at least for me) and I think this man is pure genius mixed with class.

Another summer day has come and gone away….. in Paris and Rome – he simply says “I wanna go home”

He explains how he has it all but yet he misses that one thing- Home…. he knows he is lucky and all…. “Let me go home” he says “I got to go home” , “I wanna come home” “Let me go home”

My favorite part … “And I feel just like am living someone elses life”.……… “It’s like I just stepped outside when everything was going right”

Another winter day has come and gone away ….even in Paris and Rome…..“But I wanna go home”

Why bittersweet? well people stay away all the time…but realising they miss home and that they want to come home….is a realization worth celebrating…..Like the return of the prodigal’s son…

“Am just too far from where you are”, “You deserve more than that”, these are words for family who endure the ordeal “I know why you could not come away with me, it was not your dream… but you always believed in me” …. the song blends regrets, considerations and realizations beautifully…..

“I’ve had my run, …. I’m done”

The hope in the end “It will all be alright, I’ll be Home tonight, I am coming back home”

Finally the picture, even with my ridiculously pseudo/amateur photographic skills (when I say amateur I am thinking skills of 6-10 yr olds with a camera) ….I think it came out beautifully. Standing outside the theatre where the musical – I sooo badly want to see is running, which happens to be the longest running musicals in the history of west end. I stood there rapt in awe…. The little girl reminded me of my sister and

……………at that moment I was absolutely blown away.
