Of Significant Songs & Significant Others

Jolene asked a very interesting question earlier.

"Dear, all the songs in your blog.. Are they just there for the listening pleasure of those who visit the page, or do they hold some sentimental value, perhaps of significant moments in your life or something? Or of significant others in your past?"

Funny you should ask, Jo. I never thought anyone would take notice of the songs on my Imeem playlist. Well, yeah, half of the songs in there do remind me of significant moments in my life, but let me just now list the songs which reminds me of the 2 significant others I've had in my life.


Song(s) which remind me of my first ex, Adi:

  • Dangerously In Love 2 - Beyonce

  • This was one of the 2 songs (the other being Mungkin by Anuar Zain) which I once said that I'd dedicate to the first person who could ever make me feel a kind of love which I've never felt before.

  • That's When I Love You - Aslyn

  • I remember him crying when I first sang this song to him.

  • Cater 2 U - Destiny's Child

  • ..and he cried when I sang this song too.


I'm sure you must wonder why I didn't include that other song (the malay one lah!) into this list. I'd rather not, really.


Song(s) which spoke my mind after my break-up with Adi:
  • Sorry - Madonna

  • I swear to god I could sooo relate to the words of this song.

  • Because Of You - Kelly Clarkson

  • Oh, talk about the ability to relate to songs! I swear, the first time I heard this song, I thought it was written just for me because every fucking word in this song spoke what I wish I had the chance to say in his face, in front of the entire world!

  • Since You've Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson

  • God bless Kelly Clarkson!

  • Lose My Breath - Destiny's Child

  • Can you keep up, baby boy? Obviously he couldn't!

  • Going Under - Evanescence

  • "So go on and scream! Scream at me, I'm so far away. I won't be broken again!"



Song(s) which remind me of my second ex, KS:
  • Smack That - Akon feat. Eminem

  • When the two of us first heard this song, we were both on our first date! We were walking around Far East when this song was playing at 77th Street. We both then spent the next 5 minutes trying to figure out what the title of the song was! Haha!

  • Run It - Chris Brown

  • Listened to this on his Mp3 player after dinner at Holland Village one night. Was sending him off to his soccer match, and oh, he was sleeping throughout the entire journey!

  • Gimme That - Chris Brown

  • Also listened to this on his Mp3 while on the way to send him off for his soccer match.

  • That Girl - Frankie J feat. Chamillionaire

  • The first song I sent him through MSN.

  • Ride For You - Danity Kane

  • This song kept my faith strong during the period when he had the huge argument about the bitch (a certain "H") who tried to steal him away from me!

  • Here Without You - Three Doors Down

  • How can I leave this song out? It's his favourite song!


There's one more song which isn't on my playlist, and that's You Make Me Feel Brand New by Simply Red. We were both going through a rough spot at that point of time, and when I sang this softly in his ears, he just cried and hugged me so damn tight.


Song(s) which spoke my mind after my break-up with KS:
  • Stay With Me - Danity Kane

  • I couldn't stop listening to this song, and I couldn't stop crying whenever I heard it!



So there you go. Those are the songs which remind me of my 2 exes, and you can find them (except for 2) on my Imeem player. So the next time any of the songs play, you'd know what they mean to me, and what (and who) they remind me of.
