Being Dedicated To

Where for art thou?

Now, why would I want to talk about Daniel Bedingfield's Gotta Get Thru This? Something came up. It was barely 2 weeks ago since I 'pulled out' this cassette from my car along with Dido's Life For Rent and Hoobastank's Every Man For Himself. I left Amr Diab's Tamally Ma'ak in my car still, to be accompanied with 2 other cassettes that I put in to replace. Yes, my car still uses cassette player okayy

I bought the cassette in Jusco Ayer Keroh, 2006. There was a sale, hence the price. Of course, the album was out years before. It has such a sentimental value that I jumped at the sight of it. I still remember when my room mates back in uia copied the video clip in glee. Two of my friends also dedicated one song to their boyfriends back then; "If You're Not The One". Now they are happily married. No, not because of the song, hehe :p But the episode created such a sweet memory on them. Indeed the song is very poignant. I remember we helped them adapted some lyrics so that it became a female version.

So I got this cassette to listen to at times at the place I rented. Whenever I'm stressed with work or dying to finish some chores, "Gotta Get Thru This" helps! When I'm bummed up about a mistake I did, "Blown It Again" punches it down... When having problems on people's attitude, "I Can't Read You" makes life funner :p I later kept the cassette in my car for several years and enjoyed listening to "Friday" on my journey back and forth MT <---> SK.

There's this one song that reminds me of a Korean/Japanese movie theme song, the one that has that train-in-theme park scene...or is it the one that has this girl becoming a soldier in the end...?? Ntahlah, can't really remember, such a long time ago. Anyway, the song is "He Don't Love You Like I love You". Somehow the rhythm seems similar.When I feel melancholic abt. the world, the universe etc., "Honest Questions" soothes. My point is, it's a good album for yours truly to satiate whatever pang there is in her sometimes-pathetic-world.

I've replaced those cassettes with Raihan's Demi Masa and Ust. B. Amin's Munajat.
I'd like to bring back DB's Gotta Get Thru This inside, can ah? :p
