Finally it's here. The latest installment of 100 Ultimate love songs list. So, without any further delay I present you....
100 ULTIMATE LOVE SONGS (A LIST BY CITRA P. NANDA)
21. Wonderwall by Oasis
best part: Because maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me
and after all... you're my wonderwall
why am I loving it: dude, this is like one of the most flawless song. My interpretation of this song is about salvation. You know, when your world is crumble around you and everything is so fucked up, there is this one person, one person that you know that at least make everything easier. One person that you know you can always count on and you know, eventually everything is gonna be alright.
22. At Last by Etta James
best part: Oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven... for you are mine at last
why am I loving it: Hands down this is one of the best and legendary love song. Etta James's voice was gold and the song is sweet and lovely.. ohh lovey dovey.
23. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
best part: Help me I broke apart my insides
help me I've got no soul to sell
help me... the only thing that works for me
help me get away from myself
why am I loving it: apart that is the sex anthem, this song has so much deeper meaning. This is love in a raw and wild and basic version.
24. Yellow by Coldplay
best part: Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
turn into something beautiful
and you know... for you I'd bleed myself dry
for you I'd bleed myself dry
why am I loving it: OH MY GOD! Everytime I heard this song, I feel like I'm falling in love. In love so much it hurts and it's beautiful and I'll do anything to keep it. Beautiful beautiful song.
25. My List by The Killers
best part: I need those eyes to tide me over
I'll take your picture when I go
gives me strength and gives me patience but I'll never let you know
why am I loving it: to me this song is a serenade song. You know, a song that you'd play to someone that you love so much but you can't always be with him/her. It's an ode. It's a promise that you're trying to show how much you care.
26. Only Exception by Paramore
best part: I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable... distance
and up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
because none of it was ever worth the risk but..
you are the only exception
why am I loving it: It's clear as a sky, read the full lyric and then you'll understand. What a lovely song it is.
27. Fields of Gold by Sting
best part: Will you stay with me?
will you be my love among the fields of barley?
we'll forger the sun in his jealous sky... as we lie in fields of gold
why am I loving it: ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS EVER! So poetic. The bittersweet in this song feels so real makes you wanna cry and grin so wide. LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!
28. I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston
best part: I don't really need to look very much further
I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside... I can't run from myself there's nowhere to hide
your love I'll remember forever
why am I loving it: I know I know, it's cheesy but half of love songs in the world are cheesy and this song is good great cheesy. I dare you to not sing along when you heard the song. I DARE U. Ha! :)
29. Aku Disini Untukmu by Dewa 19
best part: Tak usah kau cari makna hadirnya diriku
aku disini untukmu
why am I loving it: read the lyric. enuff said.
30. Built to Last by Melee
best part: Cause you're the sun in my universe
consider the best when we felt for worse
and most of all, it's built to last

cheers,

The World We're Living In
First of all, let me send my deepest condolences and prayer to Cory Monteith's family & friends. As a former gleek I bid you good bye Mr. Monteith, may you rest in peace.
it's been a gloomy day. I mean, I heard the news about Cory and even though I don't know him personally *obviously* but I watched Glee from season 1-3, Finn Hudson was a quirky, nice, adorkable character.. and I like him as Finn, so I was completely and utterly shock when I hear the news. It was sad for such a talented actor to passed away in such a young age.
And then I read the news about Zimmerman's verdict. The case of Treyvon Martin vs. George Zimmerman. They're both men of color, black and hispanic. I don't really know who's guilty who's not, for all I know they both shared some records. But a young man had died and now, the racial tension is high. What saddened me most is we're still living in the world with a lot of racial judgement. We saw black man on deserted alley and we prepare for the worst. We saw bunch of hispanic kids and we guess which gang they are in. We saw couple men in white tunic and long black beard and we think about terrorist. It just sad. It's 2013 for god's sake, the most powerful country on earth has a color president, can we step aside our differences, our color, our judgement for better living? Can we actually do that? I don't give a fuck if you're white, black, yellow, pink, green or blue, we're citizens, living together on this beautiful mother earth and we can't live alone, so please do it with harmony and without judgement.
And then, a friend posted a picture of dead elephant in Sumatra, Indonesia. The picture was very disturbing. The elephant was murdered by some men who wanted its tusk. It has been reported that a hundred elephants had died just because their tusks are worth something as cigarette holder. They said that in Sumatra, it is cool so smoke cigarette using elephant-tusked cigarette-holder, so some people hunted elephant for that. I mean how stupid is that? You killed an innocent animal just for being cool? HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT?
That's the world I'm living. It's sad. I'm living in chaotic world. It's been a gloomy day. I hope tomorrow will be better because I'm waiting here.. waiting for the world to change. Hopefully I can contribute some of that change.. to make a world a better living.
sad cheers,
-c.
