And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again (#TT152)

I’ve been listening to this song for the past 2 weeks ever since I watched Furious 7 and it always makes me emotional every time I watch the music video, or any videos with Paul Walker or Vin Diesel in them. Man it’s a great song! Proud of you Charlie Puth! I personally think that it’s the best F&F movie EVER. The fighting and driving scenes, and of course, the emotions that are very real. I was the edge of my seat most of the time and tearing up like a cry baby.

It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

Damn who knew all the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here
Talking to you about another path I
Know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up look at things different see the bigger picture
Those were the days hard work forever pays now I see you in a better place

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
when I see you again

First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong and what's
Small turn to a friendship, a friendship
Turn into a bond and that bond will never
Be broken and the love will never get lost
And when brotherhood come first then the line
Will never be crossed established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn and that line is what
We reach so remember me when I'm gone

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

Let the light guide your way hold every memory
As you go and every road you take will always lead you home

It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

Undergoing love rehab (#TT141)

Comfortable like an old sweater
Memorable, you just can't forget her him
Starting over is the hardest thing to do

History has a way of repeating
Eventually we'll just do the same thing
Starting over is impossible with you

So don't pick up anymore
When I call you up
Cause it's the beginning
Of a bad idea
A bad idea

Loneliness has a way of magnifying this
Feeling that I'm still not, no I'm not over you

So don't pick up anymore
When I call you up
Cause it's the beginning
Of a bad idea
A bad idea

I'm still in love with you
Guess I'll love you from a distance

xo, Jo

Save Your Love (#TT137)

“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.” -Maya Angelou

Hello lovelies!

It’s time to update your music list again. This week is all about good beats that put you into dancing mood. Enjoy!

This is probably my favorite of this playlist! Love Ivy’s voice and the way she uses black-and-white as her theme for most of her music vids is pretty cool.

 

 

 

 

Favorite parts of the lyrics below:

You don’t know what you got so you just give it away.
To anyone who’s looking.
Makes your heart want to stop.
When he refuses to stay.

So save your love for somebody who earns it.
Don’t cave because all the wait’ll be worth it.
Don’t be something you’re not 'cause you’ll be running in place.

Feel like you might come undone.
Well, you’re not the only one.

Cause we all just want to be wanted. Want to be all somebody needs.
Yeah we're all just looking for something. That gives us a reason to believe.

I’m pretty excited for this weekend. I have a surprise for my friend. Hopefully it turns out well!

Have a nice week ahead!

xo, Jo

Ya no queda nada (#TT128)

One of the things that I find fascinating in life is when your favorite singer/band creates a song that truly describes your current situation. You can save your time and feelings explaining everything.

English:

It hurts to lose you

But even more to lose myself

And I realize that nothing,

That nothing, that nothing is forever

Loving each other like madmen

Feeling heaven and touching the bottom today

We lost everything

We became dust

What is left now?

There is nothing left

Now there's nothing left

The last kiss was lacking

And the courage to say goodbye

Today I realize that nothing,

That nothing, that nothing is forever

Loving each other like madmen

Feeling heaven and touching the bottom today

We lost everything

We became dust

What is left now?

There is nothing left

Now there's nothing left

To return to yesterday

And have you again

It was a fleeting

Without thinking, we got carried away

I know that you won't return

Loving each other like madmen

Feeling heaven and touching the bottom today

We lost everything

We became dust

What is left now?

There is nothing left

Now there's nothing left

xo, Jo

Never let go of me (#TT126)

Heyo, never let go of me

Hold tight it's gonna get hard to breathe I will never let you drown Even if we're going down 

Heyo, never let go of me When I'm sinkin'

Loose lips sink ships that's what someone told me

But this boat will stay afloat for as long as you hold me

We been through rough water anytime it was tougher

But the fact I came back to remind you I love ya

And if that's not enough, well I can one up ya

I pinky promise touch thumbs I'll never make you suffer

And all I ask in return is some reciprocation

I'll be your oxygen when you're running out of patience

So take a deep breath, and hold it tight

My heart is yours just reassure me that you'll hold it right

Don't be offended, I'm just the cautious type

To always be around and hold you down and never under, like

This is my message in a bottle, I hope that you receive it

If it washes up at your feet then open it and read it

To whom it may concern, insert your name here

It's destiny that we were both born in the same year

Three months apart, but on the same sphere

Staring at the sun, inhaling the same air

This type of love we got, they'll never get it

I'll be the Leo DiCaprio to your Kate Winslet

Sometimes I panic but I never take it for granted

I'll hold you 'til my lips turn blue like Jack in Titanic

And if I lose my grip, then just promise me this

You'll keep my love in a locket and always rock it, like

There's times where like, we find it hard to hold on to something

That was never meant to be held onto

But you let it go, if it comes back it was meant to be

If not, just let it be

This song pretty much describes what I wanna say.

Emotions oh emotions (#TT102)

Just to share with you a list of emotional songs that I’ve been listening to. Added my favorite parts of the lyrics below each video. Enjoy!

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love againIt's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Lost in confusion, like an illusion
You know I'm used to making your day
But that is the past now, we didn't last now
I guess that this is meant to be yeah
Tell me, was it worth it? We were so perfect

Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm
Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone
And I'll never get to show you these songs
Dad, you should see the tours that I'm on,
I see you standing there next to Mom
Always singing along, yeah arm in arm

He'd say music was the home for your pain
And explain, I was young, he would say
"Take that rage, put it on a page
Take the page to the stage
Blow the roof off the place"
I'm tryna make you proud
Do everything you did
I hope you're up there with God
Saying that's my kid

I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now

If you could see me now would you recognize me
Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me
Would you follow every line on my tear stained face
Put your hand on a heart that as was cold as the day you were taken away

You used to say I won't know a winner til it crossed me
Like I wont' know real love till I've loved then I've lost it

So if you get a second to look down at me now
Mom, Dad, I just missing you now

When I see my face in the mirror
We look so alike that it makes me shiver

So you can tell by now that I LOVE the lyrics of The Script’s If You Could See Me Now. I love the song as a whole actually. It’s sad but it’s so meaningful. To Danny’s and Mark’s parents: Your sons are doing great.
P.S I attended their concert once and it was shown in 02:31 for like a sec lol. Still proud!

Have a great week!

xo, Jo

Hola Diciembre! (#TT94)

HI!!!!!!!

I have so many songs to share this time!!!

Well, because I’ve missed too many weeks of TT haha but still!

This post may be a little overwhelming for some of you (too many good songs!!), so I classify the genres for convenience purpose ;)

Ok, which one to start??

I can hear some of you shouting pop, so let’s go to POP first! :p

My favorite FAVORITE song at the moment!! I just LOVE the lyrics!! It’s kinda intimidating to watch the video though, coz she’s super pretty :X haha

Wherever you go, just always remember
That you got a home for now and forever
And if you get low, just call me whenever
This is my oath to you
Wherever you go, just always remember
You never alone, we're birds of a feather
And we'll never change, no matter the weather
This is my oath to you

Aww Greyson, he’s grown up so much!

Do check out his other song – Leila !

A very emotional and artistic video! Very cool :)

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try try try

Also check out Jayeslee’s very own rendition of this beautiful song! This is how I got to know the song!

Next stop, all kinds of ROCK please!

Alternative Rock

Lessons taught by The Script!

First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, is when your world splits down the middle
Fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little

I don’t know how it’s possible, but I came across this song just recently! OMG!! This is like the bomb!

Genuine Rock!!!

Awesome song!!!

Pop Rock/Punk

How I miss Mayday Parade!!! I’m gonna post more of their latest songs soon!!!

Next, INDIE!!!

Supa cool song! <3

I just love how random Kim’s dancing is haha. Will be really cool if they come up with an official video!

Make sure to listen “It's Alright” too! It’s as dope as this song! Did I just say dope? :D

Moving on to HIP-HOP/RAP/R&B/Minaj??? (I’m a little confused where to put her music at lol)

Probably the only Minaj song that I’ve ever included under my “on-repeat” playlist haha

Last stop, COUNTRY!

Ok, I never knew who sings this song until I found out that it’s a BAND?! The female singer’s got Taylor Swift’s original hairstyle yo! Good sign? :D

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
Funny, when you're dead how people start listening
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

I kinda see them as emo teens singing country music instead of punk. I don’t know lol, how about you? Get that feeling?

Phew! That’s all for now.

I’ve still got so much stuff to post besides music!! Next post, next post.

Alrighty, till next time!!

xo, Jo

Katy or Kelly? (#TT83)

Katy Perry’s  emotional break-up story or…

I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

Kelly Clarkson’s touch on social issues and self-worth.

Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Your choice!

Have a great week!

xo, Jo

Cause I still turn to you (#TT81)

This song is Biebs’ dedication for Mother’s Day. I guess I like this cover better ;)

“Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, this is your son.' Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.” (John 19:26-27)

Since I’m miles away from my mom, I linked this video to her as a present :’) I love Disney! The song is A Mother's Love by Jim Brickman & Mark Masri

Thank you for watching over me
all of the sleepless nights you lay awake
Thank you for knowing when to hold me close and when to let me go
Thank you for every stepping stone
and for the path that always leads me home
I thank you for the time you took
to see the heart inside of me

You gave me the roots to start this life
And then you gave me wings to fly
And I learned to dream
Because you believed in me
There’s no power like it on this earth
No treasure equal to its worth
The gift of a mothers love

Thank you for every sunlit day
that fill the corners of my memory
Thank you for every selfless unsung deed
I know you did for me
Thank you for giving me the choice
to search my soul till i could find my voice
And I thank you for teaching me
to be strong enough to bend

Hope all of you had a great time with your mom!

Have a lovely week!

xo, Jo

Every time you fall, it's only making your chin strong (#TT79)

Half the population's just waitin' to see me fail

There's no reason you should ever have your head down

Give 'em hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life til we're dead.
Give me scars, give me pain
Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me
There goes a fighter
There goes a fighter
Here comes a fighter
That's what they'll say to me, say to me, say to me
This one's a fighter

It's gonna take a couple right hooks, a few left jabs
For you to recognize you really ain't got it bad

If you fall, pick yourself up off the floor (get up)
And when your bones can't take no more (come up)
Just remember what you're here for
Cuz I know, I'ma damn sure

I will try my best for my second job interview! Hope I don’t screw up this time. Wish me luck!!

Have a great day and remember to never give up!!

xo, Jo

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness (#TT75)

You may or may not have heard of this song before, but I just discovered it a few days ago! At first I wasn’t sure whether I liked it or just meh, but after playing it a few more times I kinda developed an interest :p

One main reason is because of the emotional lyrics! Check it outtttt ;)

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know
Somebody...

Actually I first discovered this song through a remix cover by a YouTuber! This sounds A LOT different from the original and it sounds interestingly awesome on its own way.

If you prefer some beats I highly recommend to give a listen to this cover! Jeni Suk has a really great voice :D

Have a fantastic week!

xo, Jo

Time to Fly (#TT70)

Hello, lovelies!

This is the first TT of the year! :D

In starting this brand new year, I just wanna give you a song that will give you a pinch of confidence and motivation to tick all those things in your resolution list!

Enjoy! ;)

Any moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday

 

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control

 

Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly

All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow

And when you're down and feel alone,
Just want to run away,
Trust yourself and don't give up,
You know you better than anyone else

How I miss Hilary Duff’s music! I hope she will get back in music soon bringing this type of genre :)

Good luck on your resolutions and have a wonderful year ahead!

xo, Jo

This love is ours (#TT67)

Elevator buttons in morning air
Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, my choice is you

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours

You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine

And it's not theirs to speculate
If it's wrong and
Your hands are tough
But they are where mine belong and
I'll fight that doubt and give you faith
With this song for you

'Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
'Cause my heart is yours

 
I loooove this song! The lyrics are so sweet and the video perfectly complements the song. Taylor described her style in this video as “corporate not chic”, as she wanted to look as an "unattractive” girl working in a completely dull and boring office. But I think it’s just so hard and nearly impossible to try to make her look unattractive. I mean, look at her!! Plus, I think her blouse and scarf look cute on her!

I can’t believe next week is Christmas!! :D

Have a fabulous week!

xo, Jo
