12 SONGS I LOVE (or hate) BECAUSE THEY REMIND ME OF YOU

  1.  Just the Way Your Are (Bruno Mars)

I think you know why. It’s pretty obvious :)

When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you’re amazing, just the way you are

   2.   Wonderwall (Oasis)

There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don’t know how..

I remember posting the song lyrics on Facebook around a year ago.  We were just starting and didn’t really know what we actually meant to each other. Or maybe we did, we just had a hard time admitting it to ourselves.  We were in denial.  I remember wanting to be with you all the time.  I just couldn’t say how badly I needed you.

  3.  You and Me (Dave Matthews Band)

You and me together, we could do anything, baby

You and me together, yes, yes

The two of us together, we could do anything, baby

You and me together, yes, yes

First year. We were still on duty together. I played this song over and over again. I was beginning to like you. I was beginning to feel attached to you. Those duty nights, seeing you made me feel better and made the work so much easier.

  4.  Perfect (Boyce Avenue)

Pink’s version was great and all. But it was Boyce Avenue’s version that made the song perfect for you.

Pretty pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please if you ever ever feel
Like you’re nothing
You are perfect to me!

  5.  Fireworks (Katy Perry)

I remember that time we went to Kuh Ledesma’s concert and they sang this song.  Now every time I hear this song I feel like jumping. Every time you feel bad I wish I could sing you this song to make you feel better. When I hear this song I want to see you jumping beside me :)

‘Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on, show ‘em what you’re worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh”
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh”
You’re gonna leave ‘em all in awe, awe, awe

  6.  Take A Bow (Rihanna)

  7.  I Love You, Goodbye (Celine Dion)

Because of that time I hurt you. I’m sorry. You have no idea how bad #6 made me feel and how incredibly sad #7 made me feel.  #6 still makes me stop and listen every time it’s played. #7 still makes me cry. (No, I don’t want to include lyrics here)

  8.  Marry Me (Train)

I really, really loved this from the very first time I heard it. I want to play it always. At the same time, nahihiya ako patugtugin pag magkasama tayo. This was around mid-2011. I didn’t want you to get the wrong message. I was just so not ready.  Thinking about it now, natatawa na lang ako.  What exactly was I thinking then.

Marry me, today and every day
Marry me, if I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe
Say you will

  9.  Your Winter (Sister Hazel) 

This is actually one of my favorite songs. It’s from the soundtrack of 10 Things I Hate About You. I have always thought this is the love song I would sing to the one. (With highlight on the I love you part. It sounds even more amazing when it’s not the acoustic version)

What else, what else can I do?
I said I’m sorry, yeah, I’m sorry
I said I’m sorry, but what for?
If I hurt you then I hate myself
I don’t want to hate myself,
don’t want to hurt you
Why do you choose your pain if you only knew
How much I love you love you

Well I won’t be your winter
And i won’t be anyone’s excuse to cry
And we can be forgiven
And I will be here

  10.  Je Te Veux (Erik Satie)

Ssssssssssooooooooooooobrang pinakilig mo ko dito.

Je n’ai pas de regrets
Et je n’ai qu’une envie
Près de toi là tout près
Vivre toute ma vie
Que mon corps soit le tien
e ta lèvre la mienne
Que ton coeur soit le mien
Et que toute ma chair soit tienne

  11. Every First Second (Up Dharma Down)

When we started to go on regular dates and watch movies this band was always playing at Trinoma.  I stopped every time I heard this song and you let me listen.

You
The only one who can change my life
And I
Could swear by the things that I wouldn’t do
For the first time
.
Coz I
The only one who can change your life
You
Could swear by the things that I wouldn’t do
You know it
For the first time

  12.  Hey Mr. Tough (Yo La Tengo)

Just because you sounded really, really cute singing this :)  I love you.

HAPPY FIRST. This is #11
