The Soundtrack of my Life

Here are the 25 of my most favorite songs of all time (in exact order, after a strict deliberation and certain criteria):

1. One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey/Boyz II Men – This was the biggest hit back when I in my graduating year in elementary. At first I didn’t liked the video much, but after hearing the message of the song, which was an elegy of course, I began to liked it a lot. I wish this would be played during my funeral…

2. On Bended Knee - Boyz II Men – I love songs about heartbreaks, and this one is the best…

3. I Can Love You Like That - All-4-One – and I also love listening to love songs…

4. All For Love - Bryan Adams, Sting, Rod Stewart – The movie The Three Musketeers wouldn’t be as great if this wasn’t in the soundtrack

5. Tuwing Umuulan At Kapiling Ka – Eraserheads – this version only, I don’t like Regine’s

6. Always Something There To Remind Me - Naked Eyes - …another heartbreak song, but this one’s kinda upbeat

7. Love Will Lead You Back - Taylor Dane – I really like this one…

8. You've Lost That Loving Feeling - Righteous Brothers – did I mention I like broken-hearted songs?

9. Making Love Out Of Nothing At All - Air Supply – one of the best rock-ballads I’ve ever heard…

10. Especially For You - Kylie Minogue & Jason Donovan – have you heard this one? I loved this song way before MYMP had a remake, but this duet is way much better, and Kylie’s best single too…

11. Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler – very good song, but I wonder what does the ‘Turn Around’ lyrics mean???

12. San Na Nga Bang Barkada – APO – this was a recent addition to my list, it’s all because of the lyrics, ‘Nagsimula ang lahat sa eskwela, Nagsama-samang labing-dalawa… …Sa’n na nga ba, sa’n na nga bang barkada ngayon?’

13. That's What Friends Are For - Various Artists – this is the only song that had me crying (for one hour!)

14. How Am I Supposed To Live Without You - Michael Bolton – do I need to explain? If yes, refer to #8…

15. Islands in the Stream - Bee Gees – if you don’t know this song, you might have heard its chorus in Pras’ and Mya’s Ghetto Superstar. Yep, the chorus used was an altered version of this song’s own chorus…

16. For Once in my Life - Stevie Wonder – I started to hear this song only last year, thanks to American Idol and Camile Velasco. And recently I found out that we have a Stevie WonderCD…

17. I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing – Aerosmith – this version only, refer to #5.

18. I Can't Help Myself – I don’t know who the singer is, but this was a Motown hit. Remember ‘sugar pie, honey bunch, you know that I love you, I can’t help myself…’

19. If I Ain't Got You - Alicia Keys – this is 1 of the 2 millennium hits that made it to my list…

20. Miss You Like Crazy - Natalie Cole – a song for the longing…

21. Strong - Robbie Williams – the song for myself…

22. Baby, Don't You Break My Heart Slow - Vonda Shepard – from Ally McBeal

23. Walking Away - Craig David – the 2nd hit from year 2000. The song I used in my KEM campaign

24. If You Don't Know Me by Now - Simply Red – when I sing this song, I always get out of tune…

25. Bluer Than Blue - Michael Johnson – this time, even Regine’s version is quite good…

Music is the soundtrack to our lives. This is mine. What’s yours? Do we have the same interests?
