Friday-Work-Bored


Dear Mr. Cocktail,

it's Friday.. and I'm bored at office. I'm starting to think about leaving my current job and go back teaching again. If I don't get more things to do at work, beside talking on the phone, arranging data yadaa yadaa and all that.. I'll definitely will look for a new job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, trying to be productive at work.. I blog. :-p

Today I would like to share to you some of my music/song I like
My friend Mr. Pan told me about them.. , like 'em ever since

Let me tell you a little bit about Mr. Pan..
Mr. Pan is the soulmate - the brother from another mother of my nephew T-rex
and I have to say Mr. Pan and his blood-related brothers are music genius. Each individual play all the music instrument. You need to see them jammin' it's like watching a merry-go-round. One song his playing the guitar, next the drum..and so on.
I tell you more about his group another time

So couple months ago Mr. Pan post this song on his FB page and we met then he start to brainwash me with their single.....

.....

The first video is Casio Kids - Fin Bikkjen (Lightsoverla remix)
they're from Norway, you can check on their myspace page
and I have no clue what the song is about, but I really enjoy it. 
I posted the remix version..


 
"Old analogue, trashy keyboards and pop melodies make up the Norwegian electro-troupe that is Casiokids. With tunes often sung in their native language and influenced by afro-beat, techno and out-and-out pop, the band draws similarities and takes inspiration from Paul Simon's "Graceland", Ivor Cutler, New Order, King Tubby, Bob Hund, Cornelius and Fela Kuti"

this one I also got it from Mr. Pan
American Alternative-rock-indie band, Blonde Redhead - Oslo
you can check them out on their Blonde Redhead website
I don't really know why I like this song.. the melody sound a bit sad, cold and thrilling. 

 

I know it's a two quite different type of music.. 
Fik bikkjen (remix) - fun, light, cute and my body react to the melody
Oslo in the other hand... take my soul to a journey, wondering...

Hope you'll like it..
Have a good Friday, I'm off to the gym!

Count on Me

Dear Mr. Cocktail,

I have one particular song that always successfully cheer me up whenever I feel blue.
it's Bruno Mars - Count on me
I think the lyrics is just sweet and simple. Knowing someone will be there for you, someone you can count on, I think it's amazing.


If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, Wooooh
That's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
You can count on me cause I can count on you

Wooooh, Wooooh
yeah Yeah

If tou toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song
beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will
remind you

Ohh
Find out what we're made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go
Never say goodbye

You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, Wooooh
you can count on me cos' I can count on you


I hope you enjoy it as I do.
