Okay, here's the thing: i'd finish my internship at GolinHarris Indonesia and it was..... FUCKING GREAT. i learned a lot of PR things at there, i missed my other intern mates and associates because although it just three months, i already feel a homey thingy feeling in me there.
moving on,
so i have a lot of free times in my hands right now, because i got nothing but write my thesis for the final months for me to get my bachelor degree *finally*, so i'm back to reading load of books. actually, right now i'm in the middle of reading, Pablo Neruda's greatest love poems. yeah, i know, i'm not really the poem kind but believe me, this Neruda dude is awesome. his stuff was great and not cheesy. *i always thought every poem is cheesy. well, except the poem of Sapardi Joko Darmono, about loving someone as simple as water bla bla. that stuff was awesome.*
anyhoo, because of that i'm kinda having a la vie en rose kind of feeling, and when i'm feeling like that, i love to listening love song and i decided to make a list of the ultimate love songs. i will put 100 best love songs i ever heard. so, here's the first part.
ULTIMATE LOVE SONGS (A LIST BY CITRA P. NANDA)
1. Use Somebody by Kings of Leon
best part: off in the night while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
someone like me..
why am i loving it: because seriously, this song is so sweet. i think it's about a desire. an act to try to find someone special. Caleb's voice in this song was sound very strong but also fragile. makes me wanna scream "I FUCKING NOTICE YOU CALEB" ;-)
2. Jikalau by Naif
best part: Untaian kata-kata yang kuucapkan untukmu
tak seindah kata cinta yang dia berikan padamu
namun kau selalu ada di hatiku..
why am i loving it: because seriously, it's simple. it's sweet. Naif is rarely sing a love song, but boy when they did, it was great.
3. Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys
best part: you know its gonna make it that much better
when we can say goodnight and stay together
why am i loving it: because seriously, i never thought this song it's about sex in general. i always think that this song it's about a young couple that fall in love in each other and wish to grow old and live happily ever after. it's a fairy tale song, with an intention to have sex. ;p
4. Sunday by Bloc Party
best part: I love you in the morning
when you're still hung over
I love you in the morning
when you're still strung out
when I'm with you, I am calm
a pearl in your oyster
head on my chest, a silent smile
a private kind of happiness
you see, giant proclamations are all very well
but our love is louder that words..
why am i loving it: because seriously, it's about modern love. the lyric was real enough to understand to love someone with their not-so-good part or side in a busy life. a modern life.
5. Close To You by Carpenters
best part: why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
just like me, they long to be
close to you..
why am i loving it: because seriously, a part from the cheesy part about angels and hair of golden starlight, i think it's one of the most sweet-walking-side-by-side-holding-hands kinda love song.
ps. when Feist did a gig in Jakarta, Erlend Oye was her opening act and he sung this song, and God it was so lovely, his low voice was very soothe.
6. Selalu Denganmu by Tompi
best part: taukah kau diriku tak sanggup hidup bila kau jauh dariku?
kuingin dipelukmu selalu
oh Tuhan tetapkan rasa cintaku ini pada hanya untukmu
selalu setia selama lamanya..
why am i loving it: because seriously, i know after typed the lyric, it's kinda cheesy but i love it anyway. so suck it.
7. Can You Tell by Ra Ra Riot
best part: oh what am I supposed to do?
it's hard to stay cool
oh when you smile at me
and i got nervous every time you speak..
why am i loving it: because seriously, i know exactly what Wes Miles has been singing. sometimes it very hard to speak to someone you like. but that moment, a moment when you feel like your heart skip a beat because someone you like was said a greeting to you and when your knees are weak and your tongue is glue in your mouth, that's the sweetest feeling ever. well, a part of the embarrassing moment when you finally said a word and it's turn out to be something stupid because you're so fucking nervous.
8. I Will by The Beatles
best part: who knows how long I've loved you
you know I love you still
will I wait a lonely lifetime
if you want me to, I will..
why am i loving it: because seriously, it is one of the best love song ever written. so simple. so short. so deep. I LOVE YOU JOHN, GEORGE, PAUL, AND RINGO!
9. Just Like Heaven by The Cure
best part: you
soft and only you
lost and lonely you
strange as angles
dancing in the deepest ocean
twisting in the water
you're just like a dream..
why am i loving it: because seriously, it was very happily ever after in the beginning and lonely in the end of it. it's dreamy yet real.
10. Inside and Out by Feist
best part: I ain't no vision, I am the girl
who loves you inside and out
backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way..
why am i loving it: because seriously, although originally this song was sung by Bee Gees, i love Feist's version better. Feist's delicate voice sounds so fragile, its suit the lyric.
