What's your ringtone?

At some point in my life, I have used these movie theme songs as my mobile ringtone. It was the "IN" thing. Haha! Yes. Just like a normal teenage girl, I went through that phase.

	Star Wars

	Superman

	Indiana Jones

	Terminator

	James Bond

	The Pink Panther

	Mission Impossible

I have also used these themes from some of my favorite cartoon series.

	Justice League

	Teen Titans

	Kim Possible

	Avatar, The Last Airbender (Main Title)

I'm currently using the default ringtone for my phone. Not a song, not a dance beat, not an electronic voice saying "You have a call!". Just the regular "ring, ring!".

What is your ringtone? ☺

2 Years Apart

 
Cheston on the vocals. Christian on the guitar.

I saw this video on YouTube. I literally burst out laughing after a few seconds of watching it. ☺ The guitarist is hilariously annoying. With his eyebrows, raising them every now and then.. "Panira ng mood! Hahaha!" It was a bit distracting, yes. Still, I was hooked. Ignoring the silly guitarist, that was some good singing coming from the other guy.

So I checked their Facebook page. The name of the band is 2 Years Apart, with Cheston Uy on the Guitars and Vocals, and Chester Uy on the Bass and Back-up Vocals. They are based on Quezon City, Philippines and they play alternative rock renditions of famous modern and classic songs*.

Chester and Cheston Uy

The brothers are musically inclined. Admirable. Apparently, the two boys are formerly conjoined twins. I'm not totally sure which ones, though. "A 2-man band that consist of formerly conjoined twins." - It says on their Facebook page.

Brothers.. Calvin, Cheston, Chester and Christian

Mike Tompkins (Beatbox)

I was browsing the internet last night, and I came upon this awesome video of Mike Tompkins on YouTube. I'm pretty sure some of you have already seen his videos. Mike is making A Capella covers, using the sounds made by his voice and mouth, and is sharing his videos through his YouTube channel. I've always been fascinated with beatboxing.. So I played the video.. and another one.. and another one. Wow. This guy's amazing!

The "Piano", "Piano Harmony" and "Synth Lines" are the best.. ☺

Day 19 - F*ck You

Day 19.

"Share something about a song that makes you smile right now."

Okay. You may call me a bitch, you may call me a bad girl.. but to this song, I can totally relate. I like the lyrics, and I so love the rhythm. I'm not saying that this is one of my favorite songs. It's just that, at some funny way.. this song could bring a smile to my face (as of this very moment).

A song by Cee Lo Green. Of course, you have to sign in or sign up on Youtube in order to watch this video.

Day 14 - Fave Songs

"Share something about your favorite music/musician."

I'm not really picky when it comes to music. Well, except for hard rock/metal or the likes, I listen to any kind of music. It depends on my mood, really. Sometimes, I wanna listen to some Pop music. And then sometimes, I'd go with alternative music, new wave or classic rock. When I'm down and I feel like crying, I listen to some instrumentals.. you know, pianos and saxophones.

Also with the musicians. As long as I can relate to the song, and love the music and lyrics, that musician is my favorite for that day. As of today, here are some of the songs that I listen to...

Calling All Angels - by Train. I first heard this song from a CSI NY episode. I can't remember if it's on season5 or 6, but it was the very same episode wherein the band Train guest starred. When I heard this song, I love it. I think, this song is about the society and communication. If you listen closely to the lyrics, there are some lines about war, missing children, broken marriages, losing sight of dreams... We take the important things for granted. It's the little things that usually counts. And it's like the song is calling out to all "angels".. asking for help. Asking why everything's messed up.

Today My Life Begins - by Bruno Mars. I first heard this song from Emotera's blog. That lovely girl really has a very nice taste in music. Hehehe. Anyway, I heard it from her blog (the song serves as her blog soundtrack), and I just love it. The song speaks of rebirth. And after all that Ive gone through in the past months.. it's a bull's eye. The song really suits me.. perfectly.

Leave Out All The Rest - by Linkin Park. It's a sad song. I don't why I particularly like it. Maybe because of the pain I've felt the last couple of weeks. It talks about loss and fear. Also, about making the most of life and leaving good memories.. memories which are worth remembering.

	Linkin Park - Leave Out All The Rest .mp3

Angels or Devils - by Dishwalla. This song has been my favorite since the very first time Ive heard it on the radio. I think, this song talks about a battle that usually takes place inside us.. a human struggle. This song relates to each and every one of us. There really is a place inside us that fails us.. but then, "Fighting all the demons will take time".. this line is very encouraging. To forgive oneself, to heal and to reform, it really do take time. And eventually, everything would turn out great. Hmm.. that's my interpretation. Pretty deep, huh. Hehehe.

Anything But Ordinary - by Avril Lavigne. Yeah, I know. This song is a few years old. But I still like it. I think, this is one of her best work. It's basically about living.. about taking risks. About living life to the fullest. "Let down your defenses. Use no common sense. If you look you will see, that this world is a beautiful accident. Turbulent. Succulent. Oppulent. Permanent. No way! I wanna taste it. Don't wanna waste it away." A beautiful phrase for a song. It's a very personal song. And it's totally ME!

So Close - by Jon McLaughlin. This is a song from the Disney movie Enchanted. It's a beautiful song, but I also sense sadness. I think the song is about a love so impossible to come true. That both of them are so inlove with each other, but then something.. an invisible barrier is between them. The ending for this song is yet to come. Hehe.. It is an unfinished story. Nevertheless, I love it.

I wouldn't call these my favorite songs. As I have mentioned, my choice of music/songs/musicians really depend on my mood. So what about you? What are the songs on your iPod?
