acoustic sessions

I was out of Blogger due to an operation that I had on Wednesday.

Today I feel myself better to listen and share something.

This is the song that I tagged by Shazam.

While the song doesn't have a video on Youtube yet, we'll just listen today!

"Everybody, everybody wants to love
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh"

Odak is a Turkish music band from İzmir.

I like this form of Lykke Li's song too much due to the xylophone's sound.

And nowadays I'm trying to understand how I can play the metallophone.

Let's sing together!

"You're my river running high, run deep, run wild" 

This song was very popular during my university years
and there was a band named "Çalar Saat" which was performing this song very well.
They were taking the stage in a bar, "Beri Blues" in Bornova, in İzmir.

"I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you"

For me this is the song of the sweetest city in Turkey, İzmir.

I remember my lovely and funny days, weeks, months and years with my friends.

Today's song is proposed by Tunciş, thanks for giving back my memories.

"You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you baby

You're never there"

Although I have 2 names and 2 surnames (4 @ total), this is the longest name
that I've seen in my life, Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong.
She had a son in 2011.
I think she should be thankful for this.
 

"I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life"

Today's session is a little bit different, the sound is coming from the violin this time.

There's not so much information about him on Google,

but wrt. The Guardian, he's a model, actor, magazine editor, singer and violinist.

"I've gotta keep my mind free

just to keep on walking, even if I'm all alone
I won't let nobody, ever try to stop me

I've gotta keep track of my soul"

I heard this song in a mall today when we were searching for a new TV.

I just Shazamed it and found the name of the song.

I was surprised that my husband was already aware of this song and band.

Plain White T's is an American pop punk band from Chicago, Illinois which was formed in 1997 by high school friends Tom Higgenson, Dave Tirio, Ken Fletcher and Steve Mast. 

"Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side"

Yesterday I cleaned the house, made the ironing 

and the day passed away when I remembered to share the song of the day.

That's why this is the third time that I'm sharing the song of yesterday.

This melody is from Tracy Chapman's Fast Car.

Just a suprise for us from Colbie Caillat.

Sorry for the delay!

"I'm still alive but I'm barley breathing
just praying to a God that I don't belive in."

This is the second amazing soundtrack from House, M.D.

I was addicted to Hugh Laurie but after the fourth season of House, M.D. I suddenly gave up!

The song is excelling in the lyrics given below:

"Well this might take a while to figure out
So don't you rush it
And hold your head up high right through the doubt
'Cause it's just a matter of time
You've been running so fast
It's the seven day mile
Has you torn in-between here and running away"

I discovered this lady by chance when I was making search for a new song on Youtube.

Adele Emeli Sandé is a Scottish soul singer who was borned in 1987.

After four years in Medicine Faculty of Glasgow University she left the school for being a musician.

"All the signs seem to say love is lost
I don't wanna give up what we've got"

When I heard this voice I thought that I am listening Beirut.

And also a little information about the name of the song is as follows:

 

"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."

"Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin"

Can you imagine that you are the most clicked person on YouTube?

PSY did it!

But these girls are also singing this song in a pretty way without the crazy dances.

I cannot understand the lyrics in Korean.

"Heeeey, sexy lady

Hop hop hop hop..."

Do you think that you're young? 

I'm not sure about myself, cause I'm living my 30th year in the life.

This is a great record of the American Indie rock-band Fun. and Janelle Monáe.

The man you see in the video is Nate Ruess (Nathaniel Joseph).

"So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home"

Coldplay paid tribute to Michael Jackson with a cover of the legend's smash hit Billie Jean.

This is the song from Jackson's sixth solo album, Thriller.

The song was mixed 91 times by audio engineer Bruce Swedien before it was finalized.

"People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth"

This song is the soundtrack of House M.D. 

I watched the first four seasons of this crazy doctor's TV series.

At that time there wasn't any application like Shazam or SoundHound to tag a song that you liked.

I listened some lyrics and than made Googling to find which song is that.

"Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness"

James Arthur is singing Shontelle's Impossible!
He won the ninth series of The X Factor in 2012.
I can honestly say that he is singing this song better than Shontelle.

"Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible"

The Dolly Rockers was an English girl band (Lucie Kay, Sophie King and Daniele Owen).
They first became known when they competed in the 3rd series of The X Factor (2006).
The Dolly Rockers re-auditioned for The X Factor in 2013, but failed.
On 10 October 2013, they had decided to go their separate ways after seven years together.

"Feel the warmth, we’ll never die
We’re like diamonds in the sky"

The original name of him is Peter Gene Bayot Hernandez.

He changed his name to Bruno Mars on the stage. 

He is a 28-year-old man from Honolulu. 

Grenade is one of the songs from his first studio records in 2010. 

I suggest all of you to listen the emotional voice and lyrics of Bruno Mars. 

Let's start from Grenade!

"I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same"

This song of Damien Rice is also the soundtrack of Closer. 

Can you imagine that movie without this melody?

We also hear this song during the most romantic scene of Dawson's Creek.

It is written by the clarinet teacher of Damien for his daughter.

"And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time"

Due to an old flame I feel upset while listening this song.

This is the song of promises that you need to keep.

Tracy Chapman is known by "Fast Car", but I think this song is the best of her.

She won 4 Grammy awards till now.

"If you wait for me
then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart"
