Just Me

Last sept 12 sarah launch her 5th studio album Just Me. And of course i bought my self a copy :D

01. I’ll be there -  featuring howie d. of backstreet boys (social) hehe,.. the music is nice! great way to start the album, and made it as the carrier single. The bsb style was there,.. nice vocal arrangement and would you believe they did not record it together! but it turns out nice!… love the bridge part and the line “i’ll be in your smile”

02. You’re the love of my life – i love this song,.. sarah sang it with all the emotions hehe,.. it makes me feel it’s nice to have someone! like the part “you’re destined to be mine” & “i breathe with your heart & your soul”,.. love the last part “you’re the love,… the love of my life” the back up vocals made it so serene! easy listening.

03. Dahil minahal mo ako – one of the two tagalog songs,.. the first part is a bit boring i dunno, but the when you reach the chorus you would appreciate the song,.. everytime i hear this i remember the message of sarah to her fans how she love her fans & thankful for all the support,.. so heartwarming that all you can say is “dahil minahal mo ako, lahat ay gagawin para sayo”

04. Where only angels fly – inspirational track for me,.. not to follow your dreams or whatever! inspirational in a a romantic way! hehe… from the way i understand it,.. the song is for those who have lost their faith in love,.. maybe afraid to try again or just dont want to feel it in anyways! hehe… it inspires you to try it,.. inspires you that inspite of it all theres a place “where only angels fly”

05. Silence – a fast song! let’s party! hehe… a different sarah,.. whenever viva makes albums that are internationally produced,… they produced artist that deserves international fame! hehe… i like the part before it hits the chorus for example the part “im not gonna stand around & fight got better thing to do tonight” ,… and “my love isn’t up for your debate” hahaha (in short “dont be paki-alamera!) hahaha,.. the song is also unique a bit personalized she has her name on the lyrics “trust your sarah!”

06. One little kiss – Fisrt love, first kiss,.. yihee! whenever i hear this i imagine the prom nights, the highschool life though i did not attend the prom night coz there’s no one to share that “one little kiss,… three little words from your lips” hehehe…. i feel that its time to change the immortal “king & queen of hearts” in prom nights!

07. I belong to you – oh my gulay! one of my favourite! as in! hehe,… this song is a bit sexy for her,.. i imagined a daring music video with no one else but piolo pascual! :lol: seriously, everytime i hear this piolo and sarah comes to my mind! doing the thing! (malisyosa! ) doing the music video a different sarah,… with the charm of piolo “there’s no better place than right here in your sweet embrace” “with you i feel complete”.

08. Just Me – a more personalized song! the song fits for her… introducing herself. it would be nice if she will use this as one of her opening song in her upcoming concert,… i like the jazzy thingy in the song though this song fit as one of the filler in the song! its like an adlib to the album,.. “popstar on the cover or the girl next door” and i like the robot thingy at the end part haha…

09. Look inside ourselves – This is the most beautiful song for me in the album! ultimate favourite! a pop rock song in the likes of avril L. & kelly clarkson,.. the song is a bit sad,.. you will  feel the pain and hate in the song,.. the sound of the piano & guitar,, made it more depressing hahaha and sarah’s vocal range is as powerful as before you will feel the old sarah belting it out and “buo yung boses” piano guitar & sarah what a great way to experience pain hahaha….. “nobody said it was an easy life,.. its gonna be a crazy ride”

10. Kahit mahal mo ay iba – “kahit na-remix” one of my colleague said :lol: easy listening song,.. fit also to be a filler though the song is good,.. i like the rythm and the lyrics! “ligaya mo ay ligaya ko”

11. Played – the “angas song” hehe from the title itself she was played deceive fooled & everthing in between haha…. i like the beat of the drum or whatever that is that makes it more “angas!” i also like the vocal range in this song when i heard her sing it live i loved her more!…”i dont want to say it,.. but you probably gonna say it”

12. Sweet memories – when i first heard i thought it sound like a japanesse old song,.. then yesterday i had a chance to really look at the inlay, lyrics & the writers of the songs,.. then the one who wrote this song i think is either a japanesse or chinesse base on the name,… i like the part “guess i was too young too young to know love” sarah is that you?!?… i like the sound of the guitar,.. (am i right ) hahaha… it made the song sound old i imagine her singing it using the old microphones in a hotel bar with the old dress….

13. Im falling“innuendos” what the F is that :lol: the use of such allusions! did you even get it? hahaha i coz i did not!…. :lol: i like the vocal range in this song it shows sarah’s trademark “the birit” the song is a bit slow to show that you are falling but its to conscise to undertand that you are falling and to see that “when it comes to you nothing i would do” one comment though the word “THE” you pronounce it as “da” followed by a word that starts with a consonant letter & “dee” with a vowel i think sarah did not follow the rule in the line “the connection is strong” wala lang hehe…

14. What have you done with my heart – a song for those who are inlove! even to those who are not like me! :lol: this is the type of song that grows in you,.. i mean the more you listen to it the more you will love it and “im so inlove” with it that “i go dizzy” hehe….

15. Remind me to forget you – 2nd of my ultimate favourite! the song is sad but i like the idea that they did not made it as depressing as being broken hearted hehe… i like the meaning behind the song,.. that everytime you see that person it always “remind me to forget you” when you should have done it yourself! i like the rythm and the voice of sorry as if she has someone to remind these things from time to time.

16. Movie love – everytime i hear this i remember AshLLoyd hahaha… because of their movie a very special love :lol: “movie love & movie kiss” this song deserve a cool music video the likes of paris hilton’s  crazy music videos :lol: but not too skin on sarah’s part hehe… i only like this song when i hear it,.. hehe…

Now i understand why Just Me as i  mentioned the album is a bit personalized most of the songs shows who sarah is, what sarah is and the songs that inspires her! i like the album also the cover made her look like a chinesse manga character then when you look even more she looks like maja salvador hehe… i like the inlays blue and white,… refreshing for the eyes…

I’ll Be The One

i bought mark bautista’s cd last week and may i say this is the best cd from him,….

1. Eternally – its a bit weird though it nice,.. i like the “diin” thingy in his voice,.. everytime i hear this i imagine someone walking against the wind,.. but i dont think its a good idea making this song as the carrier single not so catchy…

2. Sana’y dinggin mo – this one’s my favourite,… i would prefer this one as the carrier single,.. and mark’s voice is so nice in this song,… “kaka-inlove” hehe…..

3. Too Slow – a bit sexy, i dont this one sounds like they are inside a room waiting for someone to make a move,.. woot woot! hehe,.. but i like the rythm,.. its si slow hahaha…

4. Dont tell me about heartaches – with sarah G. hehe,.. the song was nice i was expecting a very very sad song or should i say melody but it was not so sad at all, though the lyrics a bit sad but when you hear it, a feel good song not so “birit” and i really like how their voice really blends,.. nobody does it better but FMS ehehe…

5. Stuck In My Heart Now – also my favourite,.. i read somewhere in the pex community that this song is dedicated to sarah from mark, yihee, i love the part “i want the very best for you” makes me think mark really cares about sarah, sincerely and honestly! naks!…

6. Take  A Chance – is a so-so song hehe… it is meant to be a filler in the album not saying its not nice, its just that its not the type of song that will make a mark in your mind (walang lss) hehe…

7. Everytime I Close My Eyes – this is so sweet, if your guy sing this to you, i dunno i would lost all the oxygen in the world because of “kilig” haha…..

8. Love & Affection – a fast song for mark,.. though it still sound a bit ballad but i appreciate the effort in making it sound RnB,.. i will give it 2 stars hehe…

9. Why Cant We – this is mark’s compisition,.. its a nice song i like the part “you dont know how weak i am inside” i also read that this song is also dedicated to sarah,.. i wonder if they really had something special between them base on the lyrics “we treat each other like we’re lovers then we promise to keep it to ourselves.. “

10. I’ll Be The One – inspirational to me, at first it sound like its not him, he took the start of the song with a different stroke….

11. Just Look At Me – everytime i hear this i want to put the lyrics to my siggy in sg.com hehe,… to make “patama” to all his detractors that thinks he is just using sarah for publicity “im not looking for fortune or fame im just waiting till you call my name”

12. I Dont Wanna Say Goodbye – the saddest song in the album,.. like the part “cant you see a heart doesn’t shine, without a bit of love it will die,..” very true!!! base on a true story :lol:

13. Somehow I Knew – somehow i knew this song is nice very serendipity type of song i like the medley not so upbeat but you can feel it.

All in  all this album is nice one FMS even describe it as “panliligaw CD” which is true!! haha… its like the album is made to woo someones heart!

*hanep mang-harana si mark isang buong album :lol:
