definitive dreamer songs part1

today just feels weird. it has been a long time since i spent the entire sunday morning at home and i feel idle. i know i have lots to do: clean up this blog's code, organize my computers files (my my docs folder is one big trash bin), read the ballycumbers (woah hehe) or just succumb to my OCD and wipe things with alcohol. yet, i don't feel like doing any of these at all, so i decided to list down my favorite songs.

it's not thorough, but when i sorted my itunes' play rate they are in the honor roll.

comfort in your strangeness (cynthia alexander)
- there's just something honest about this song, or probably it's the way cynthia sang it.

everything (lifehouse)
- yeah i'm one of the hoardes who like this song, it just gives me the tingles when i hear it. the dynamics is really nice how the song starts like a whisper and rocks out in the end.

last goodbye (jeff buckley)
- too bad he's dead. (or is he?) the song just oozes with longing and jeff buckley's voice is perfect for it.

i love you, porgy.| here comes the sun. (nina simone)
- both are covers. i wish i've discovered nina simone sooner. couldn't add more, nina's the man (err woman) when it comes to the jazzy/bluesy stuff.

across the universe (fiona apple)
- fiona apple may eat eccentricity for breakfast, but her cover of this beatles' song is really good. love the lazy style.

amber (311)
- did i say beach? one of the perfect summer songs where you sit near a beach bonfire and chill.

santeria (sublime)
- perhaps the best sublime song, like 311's amber, this is a beach song, exuding that authentic jamaican feel.

les fleurs (4hero)
- the first time i heard the full version of this song, i couldn't sleep. because i can't remember the tv ad that used it. later on i found it was bailey's. very nice orchestral arrangement.

sunday morning (maroon 5)
- another mainstream song which doesn't fail to trigger a bobbing motion with my head.

i'm yours | clockwatching (jason mraz)
- love the mraz, hey i can even mimic his style on some of his songs (takes a lot of practice and stuttering i tell you). he's the god that gives (us) geeks the hope that we have equal chances in love's playing field hehe

and the last song for today's list is:

maybe tomorrow (stereophonics)
- really nice, slow, groovy rock song. one of the songs that make me feel really cool for some reason when i listen to it. (just imagine me walking 6 blocks to work and grooving to this song)

having said that, the rest of the list will come tomorrow :P
