Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)

I'm loving these old school songs these days, and Bay City Roller's cover of Frankie Valli and the Four Season's 'Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)' is terrific.

Well, the son's lyrics aren't that impressive poetically and linguistically. And honestly, kind of a shit move too thinking how the persona is, firstly, in two relationships, and secondly, ditching the second one (which I guess is right, but then I feel bad for the 'baby' here) in this swingy tune. If I was the 'baby' in the song, I'd give the guy a big 'fuck you'.  

But well, let's just appreciate the swing of the tunes. And I can't not think of the scene in Love Actually when Liam Neeson played this song at his wife's wedding. Ugh. 

Doses and Mimosas - Cherub

Hmm, there is nothing much I can say to this song, but good memories. And I want to be the people in the video. Rad. 

The Saddest Word in English

There is a 6 word story that goes like this.  The saddest word in English: stay.  

Immediately, my mind jumped to Rihanna's 'Stay', which is the most played song (457 times) on my iTunes.  It was my anthem last October through December, when I kept playing and replaying because, well, it sung my heart and mind back then.  

My favorite version of the song is not the original music video or the studio version, but Rihanna's performance on SNL.  I could feel her hurt and pain through her voice and her eyes.  I feel like she was singing her heart out, baring her cuts and bruises for the whole world to see, bravely.  It is so moving, and I feel so bad for her every time I see this video, I wish I can share a piece of her pain.  Go watch it, see it for yourself, and you will know what I mean.
