Day 1: My Favourite Song

This is really hard for me because I can't decide which song is my all-time favourite!

First I thought of Fireflies by Owl City but then I realised I like the tune and the lyrics but I don't know what I can write about that.

Then I thought of Airplanes because I really love this song. The song is so catchy that I'm not even very bored of it yet.

And finally I decided on a song that has more meaning for me. And it's non other than:

Today My Life Begins by Bruno Mars

i've been working hard so long
seems like pain has been my only friend
my fragile heart's been done so wrong
i wondered if i'd ever heal again

ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
all around me i can feel a change (ohh)

i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the takin
i know i can make it, today my life begins

yesterday has come and gone
and i've learnt how to leave it where it is
and i see that i was wrong
for ever doubting i could win

ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
all around me i can feel a change (ohh)

i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me

leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the takin
i know i can make it, today my life begins

life's too short to have regrets
so i'm learning now to leave it in the past and try to forget
only have one life to live
so you better make the best of it

i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the takin
i know i can make it, today my life begins

i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the takin
i know i can make it, today my life begins
today my life begins...

With such inspirational quotes in the lyrics, what's not to like?

If you follow my blog long enough, you'll notice that I have a big problem with letting go of the past. Of wondering what will happen in my life if I make different decisions i.e. picking a different course to study.

This song teaches me that I should let go of what has already happened and not think about it. Instead, I should work hard for what is yet to come. Enough with the sense of regret. Cos I know that is the thing that cause me a lot of problem. I keep thinking of wanting to change the past and all that. The more I think about it, the more frustrated I become. So why bother right?

Hence this song has made quite an impact to me that I decide to make it my favourite song, even though I'm a tad bit bored with the music already. =P Nevertheless, awesome lyrics yea? =D

And I'm done with Day 1. lol. Yays!

I never heard of this song (maybe i did, unconsciously) but i think the lyrics are nice and inspirational, moreover Bruno is a really good singer I think. Almost all of his songs made it big. He's one heaven of a superstar. he2.
