2001: Westlife's Bop Bop Baby
Okay. 2001. I guess most girls are into Westlife at that time. Have to admit, I am one too. It all started when my girlfriends love them so I kinda join in for the fun. Boy bands are really the in-thing back then, and it's back in now yes? Well they are other boy bands too, but I think 2001 is Westlife's year.
Other than them and the rest of the boybands, actually I am into some other stuff too. Before this, I depended on the radio, and friends. I have not found "the Pandora" yet at that time. And the house is always crowded with brothers friends and my tuition friends. Soo, those other stuff I mentioned are... like LIMP BIZKIT and LINKIN PARK. HAHAH. Seriously, at first I was against Limp Bizkit and all their non-stop swearing but after awhile? I SANG ALONG TO THEIR SONGS TOO. Especially when I'm stressed out. Linkin Park was effing cool, until everyone in the school started to get the hype and go crazy for them. LOL.
Since their songs are... a bit too loud so I decided not to put them on my list. Heh.
2002: Pink's Don't Let Me Get Me and DJ Sammy (feat Yanou)'s Heaven
Well I must say, 2002 is the year that I can't cope with peer pressure. at all. I remembered the constant crying after fighting with friends and handling with weird accusations, the times I fell sick especially during exams, having trouble getting along with people. Basically that's the year I realized that I am just weird and not everyone can accept me for who I am. Super emo lah kan. booo.
So especially at that point of time, don't let me get me reflected how messed up I was. Or so I thought.
But school was not all bad. That year too, was the year I had my experience of puppy love. HAHAHA. Shall I relate that to Utada Hikaru's First Love? Believe it or not I made a point to memorized the song! Other than that, I remember singing and rapping to Missy Elliot's Work it, together with Fash. Those were the days. I hated this song at first!
And why Heaven? That's on my NZ TRIP Playlist, together with RHCP's Zephyr Song, and some others that somehow I can't remember :P OK. I've mentioned this before. That's when I fell in love with NZ. During that trip :) The camper van trip.
2003: Outkast's Hey Ya and Nickelback's Someday
Form 4 was pretty breezy. I had fun most of the times. That's the reason why I chose Hey Ya. LOL who doesn't like that song? Its one awesome happy fun song to sing along to. Kan? Someday... was just because that's the year that I got into liking Nickelback. Chad Kroeger's voice is... superb. And someday is my favourite.
2004: Britney Spears' Toxic and Blink 182's I Miss You
Okay. Some of my schoolmates would notice this - that I made Toxic my anthem. HAHAHA. I sang along to this song every freaking minute of my life at that time.
Btw couldn't find the original toxic, so the Glee Cast's version will do. I must have this song on my playlist!
And I miss you was the song I dedicated to Preans, my beloved cat who had been living with us for 5 years. When he left, this song was on repeat.
Other than that, I guess the other stuff worth mentioning here is Franz Ferdinand's songs. That's the year when I fell in love with this band.
2005: Gorillaz's Dare and Phantom Planet's California
It was supposed to be Feel Good Inc. And Gwen Stefani's What Are You Waiting For?
Why? Because it's my college year and that year was the time of my life! I really go all out in having fun. HAHAHAHA. I loosen up a bit than being this stuck up girl.
But I couldn't find them in mixpod, So I replaced them with Dare, as this song's has the fun vibe to it too and I LOVE Gorillaz, and California. For I am heavily influenced by the OC.
Not just the Phantom Planet, I was also into Imogen Heap and Rachael Yamagata. Awesome stuff ok. Other than that I think I am into Dishwalla (as this time I use Pandora a lot), oh, and Padi's Menanti Sebuah Jawaban.
2006: James Blunt's High and Teddy Geiger's For You I Will
The first year in Uni. Tons of memories, and I chose the two songs because 1. High is my on-repeat song when I first got there. And 2. For You I Will is also, another on-repeat song during the year. Well, the lyrics explains it all. LOL.
There are some other songs that I think worth mentioning here, such as 30 Seconds to Mars' The Kill as this is my and Palie's raya song. I don't know why we put this on repeat during that time. Weird. MCR's Welcome to the Black Parade was also released that year, and they're awesome. 'Nuff said.
2007: Coldplay's Fix You and Muse's Starlight
2007 was pretty rough, hard. and eventful. Everything was really fast. I remembered at some points I was beyond happy, and at some other points I hit rock bottom.
But the end of 2007 was... the climax of all. All ended up well - I went to my first concert ever which is Muse (how awesome was that??), hence Starlight was chosen, and I traveled. The NZ south island trip with family & Gold Coast trip with friends. I also did a vacation training, which is one of many reasons how I ended up where I am now.
So I smiled at the end. It was bliss.
2008: Coldplay's Life in Technicolor.
Not gonna elaborate more on this, let's just say starting this year I realized that things got really hard and messy by the day. They never get easier. Well a lot of shitty things happened, as well as the good ones. Learned a lot about many things. Something like that.
And this is the year I graduated. I earned a degree. Alhamdulillah. All paid off :)
Its a colorful year. And I cannot think of any other song than Life in Technicolor. It was on repeat anyway. LOL.
2009: Sigur Ros' Hoppipolla, The Click Five's Empty and MGMT's Kids
This is the "buffering period" year, before the big change. A huge one. I tried my luck to get jobs elsewhere too, hence why I extended my studies. Studies were relaxing, and I spent most of the times thinking of what can I do to make it right. Or at least bearable.
The year that I have to accept the fact that I am not a kid anymore. Well, I was really terrified to be honest, and I feel empty. Somehow I find comfort in listening to Sigur Ros' songs, especially Hoppipolla.
Empty & Kids are just currently-on-repeat songs that reflects what I gone through that time.
2010: Muse's Exogenesis Symphony Part III - Redemption and Snow Patrol's Just Say Yes
In my playlist it was Nicole Scherzinger's rendition of Just Say Yes cuz I can't find Snow Patrol's one. Why the song btw? That song was meant for me to tell myself just say yes to everything I do; No Fear. That year is when a new chapter of life just started. The Muse's song is also relating to the big change part.
I had the best Summer that year however there's no Summer song that I can include. Tak jumpa :|
2011: Florence + The Machine's Dog Days Are Over.
Well,
this explains it. And baru 1st Quarter pon, so I haven't really found my theme song for this year pon. Heh.
Okay I'm done finally. Just noticed that most of the songs are from the Top 40. Well, there's a lot more to all these, which I didn't include. But briefly, these songs I've shared summed up my life.
Here's to the 22 years of life.
