music: you are my sunshine

Sure all of us have listened to this song in our childhood, and well, it was only last year have I really gotten into this song and really listened to the lyrics.  I've always thought it a happy song because, come on, it's always played in lullaby CDs.  But now I know, the song is kind of sad.  True, the lyrics and words are nothing special, but got to admit, it's a pretty sweet song. 

Lyrics:

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,

If you will only say the same.

But if you leave me and love another,

You'll regret it all some day:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, you really loved me

And no one else could come between.

But now you've left me and love another;

You have shattered all of my dreams:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me

When I awake my poor heart pains.

So when you come back and make me happy

I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

quote of the day

music: Shannon and the Clams

Looping this song non-stop these days.  I'm beyond happy as my exams are all over woohoo!  And I'm feeling alive again!  Cheers to a long long summer with friends and family, and all new adventures that I'm going to have and new places that I'm going to visit and all that jazz!  I'm all up to groovy and bouncy tunes and smiles and weirdness and coolness and whatever rainbows and sprinkles and glitters that lie ahead of me in the next few months.  Trust me, I'm smiling even in my sleep these days.

I know the song has zero context match with the happiness I'm feeling these days, but AIN'T THE VIDEO COOL AND THE TUNE NIFTY?

Enjoy.

video: Roshambo by Free People

I just love this short film by Free People, (yes, I know it's from feburary, but...) I'm still drooling over all the beautiful magical clothing items and accessories and all that...and the mood of the film, the characters (Sheila Marquez, and Christopher Abbot), their lives and the background music is just plain perfection.

yay to Lord Huron, their music just makes me happy happy happy.

music: kids

Yep, this song is nothing new.  But I still love love love this song for its upbeat melody and for, just for my plain love for Two Door Cinema Club.  Perfect song to blast when you're home alone, and for those rock stars and dancing queens of the shower.

Enjoy.
