Now Listening to... 🎧

Starting off this week with this wonderful kpop track from Lim Seul Ong and Beenzino.

#LimSeulOng #Beenzino

Beautiful song from Simple Plan.

I was broken, I was choking I was lost, this song saved my life I was bleeding, stopped believing Could have died, this song saved my life I was down, I was drowning But it came on just in time This song saved my life ♪ ♫ ♪

And if you haven't seen it, Simple Plan and MTV created a very touching music video that highlighted the problem of human trafficking. This came out way back in 2009.

Staying with the 70s for today's #ThrowbackThursday track. I remember this to be one of my dad's favorite songs when I was growing up.

When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side, oh When times get rough And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down ♪ ♫ ♪

#SimonAndGarfunkel

Love the emo vibes coming from this track. And that transition after the bridge is so good!

I'm sorry I'm not that good with Tagalog. But here's an attempted loose translation of the chorus:

Like a fool, talking to the moon and stars. Waiting for something in the middle of nothing. Learned to fly, even while bruised and scarred. And when I finally rose up from the ground, you left me anyway...

#IBelongToTheZoo

A really good find!

Let go of the fear, let go of the doubt Let go of the ones who try to put you down You're gonna be fine, don't hold it inside If you're hurt right now, then let it all come out

Breathe, just breathe Take the world off your shoulders And put it on me Breathe, just breathe Let the life that you live be all that you need ♪ ♫ ♪

Ending the work week with this awesome rock instrumental from Lindsey Stirling.

Back to the 70s with this #ThrowbackThursday classic from Barry Manilow. I love how this song brings in more musical instruments midway and goes on another level from then on.

I've been alive forever And I wrote the very first song I put the words and the melodies together I am music And I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing I write the songs of love and special things I write the songs that make the young girls cry I write the songs, I write the songs ♪ ♫ ♪

#BarryManilow

Not a lot of covers come close to the original. This one does not surpass the original, but it tries to do it justice. I think it is a beautiful, somewhat modern version of the original. I especially like the part that leads to the bridge. Sharing all the lyrics because this song is that good.

And if you're only discovering this song today, you owe it to yourself to listen to the original from Coldplay.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try, you'll never know Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face, and I Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face, and I

Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you ♪ ♫ ♪

#Coldplay #WeTheKings #SongsThatSavedMyLife

Back with another song from Matty Mullins. I now understand why his songs sound like metalcore tracks... It's because Matty Mullins is the vocalist for Memphis May Fire!

Just show me where to go. I'm giving You control. I'll follow where You lead. I'm loving You because You first loved me.

On my knees I’m crying out for more of You & less of me. This is how it's supposed to be & now I see it all so clearly. ♪ ♫ ♪

#MattyMullins

Another great song from MOD SUN.

I was living reckless Designer clothes with a snotty nose Doing drugs for breakfast All of the white lines on the road I was drowning for so long I was alone feeling so numb I forgot to take the time to be grateful Have trust and believe and be faithful...

Pray on it, pray on it... I found a better path I need to stay on it Pray on it, pray on it... I was killing myself let's be honest Tell me how to feel Remind me that it's real Cause I can't really deal... . . . Say a prayer for me And I'll say a prayer for you
