Plug in to your ears!

Spain - Chick Corea. (approx. 5 mins)
Piano solo for about 1 min, and then the action starts. This is what I really like, and probably be the #1 in my 'Play the Drum' list, because you can play the drum ALONG with the piano and bass guitar, so not just play the rhythm, which was awesome, because it had this original tone, that I think, was genius. Very Jazz.

Just Like A Star - Corinne Bailey Rae
Absolutely LOVED the song! It's sweet and the notes remind me of my childhood-I don't know why. First I heard this song was sung by Jasminie McCarthy, Bertha (a famous singer in Indonesia, well supposed to be worldwide, since she had this amazing-black-people voice)'s daughter in one of her concert at Jogja.

Coyotes - Jason Mraz
Who doesn't love Jason Mraz' songs in his album 'We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things'? I mean, they're all like, undoubtedly great, pop-jazz music, which was kind of perfect and, has probably funny lyrics. I love this song, the music is like my mood-booster, this also had its original tone also, and the drum is ALSO well-played, not over-played or even least-played which would make this song like kind of sad, it's a cheerful song. Also on of my 'Play the Drum' list.

Snuggle Up-Brian Bromberg
His album; Choices, has this strong trademark of his plucking technique of playing the bass guitar, I loved this album and it was pretty hard to choose one of my favorite, but I finally come up with this song, Snuggle Up, because every song can cover every mood, almost all of them have like the different moods.
And this song, is like when you wake up in the morning and you find that it's raining outside, and you feel like going back to the ocean of blankets again, but someone made you a hot chocolate/tea/coffee(my favorite!) and it's served in the nightstand. I think it's probably something that I like the most in the morning. Snuggling up!

Our Kind of Love - Lady Antebellum
Another cheerful song with its different way. Strong piano playing on the beginning, and after that, you can feel this 'country'-ish side with their banjo (I think) and guitar playing. Not too much pop, most of it is country, sounds sort of familiar with Taylor Swift's songs, but well, this is different. This song is satisfying.

I think that's all for now, I hope I will manage this blog when I go overseas. Toddles!
