Quirky Love Song

This must be one of those really cute and quirky love songs, take a look at the lyrics and you'll know what I mean!

I Don't Know Why I Love You
Joey McIntyre

[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
But baby you know I do
And it took so long to find you girl
I'm never losing you

Go to bed mad, fuss and fight
Wake up, make love middle of the night
I don't understand all the things you do
But baby I could never stay mad at you
And I think that this could last forever

[chorus]
I don't know why I love you
But baby you know I do
And it took so long to find you girl
I'm never losing you
I don't know why you love me
But baby I'm glad that you do
And I'm wide awake to realize
That you were meant for me
And I was meant for you

Sometimes I think there's someone better for me
Who says and does things perfectly
A flawless someone warm and sweet
Then I realize you're right next to me
And I think that this could last forever - yeah

[chorus]

The story of us goes on and on
And it's never gonna end 'cause it's much too
strong, too strong

[chorus]

I was meant for you
I don't know why I, I don't know why I, I don't why I love you
but
I I don't know why I, I don't know why I, I don't know why I love you
but I do

Maybe its time to Dream Again?

Some of you may know I'm a huge J-Culture kinda guy, and I've been hooked on J-Doramas (drama) for many years now. The most recent one I had the time to watch is titled "Dream Again", starring none other than my favourite actor, Takashi Sorimachi (of Great Teacher Onizuka fame).

Takashi Sorimachi takes on the role of a pro baseball player, Shunsuke Ogi, who is forced to retire after a shoulder injury. He continues to train in hopes of returning to the game, but a sudden accident leads to his death. God decides to give him a second chance, placing his soul into the body of another man - a wealthy fund company manager - but adjusting to his new life isn't easy.

This series is classed more as a sports/human drama - it has subtle blends of family, sports, romance and human drama mixed in. The opening episode is really well set up for viewers - the plot is something new and fresh as are the cast.

You can stream watch the series at either one of the sites below;

1) http://www.crunchyroll.com/group/CRSeries_-_Dream_Again

Some clips from the series;

I happened to love the theme song to this J-Dorama, titled Aoku Yasashiku by Kobukuro. The video is attached here for listening/viewing pleasure :)

Jimmy Eat World - Carry You

Just wanting to share a particular song off Jimmy Eat World's Chase This Light (2007) album, a track titled "Carry You". For the last 3 weeks or so, I've felt that I could relate to the lyrics a lot due a chain of events. But things have somehow, somewhat, changed for the better today, and I'm hoping for the best. Still, I'd like to share the song. Enjoy.


Carry You

Jimmy Eat World
2007

When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you

Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend,
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

It's easy feeling righteous when removed
All you'll get is what you wanna hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.

Maybe your lie is what I need sometimes
You told the most and best of anyone
You said to "keep me in your pocket"
So I carried you

You better choose your words carefully
Because I'm not your anything
Gonna stay here in my place
And you'll stay in yours because
Your only good is what you're good for

I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make your mind
And another to say it's me

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed, it passed.

I'm still carrying a little hope that
Maybe things could be different now
Is that so wrong, is that so wrong, is that so wrong?

Would I see you tonight
At a place we'll go
(going through the motions, they lead to rhythm motion)
I wanna make things right
Before time runs out.
(it was like you said, the taste don't taste like it should)
Roll down the windows
Let the cold air come in
Slap my face just to feel, to feel you somehow again, again

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Yeah, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.
'Cause it passed, it passed, it passed.
