Wednesday Wist

Today is Wednesday, and so it's time for Wednesday Wist. I hope you enjoy the read.

1. Change the World-Eric Clapton

If I could be king, even for a day
I'd take you as my queen, I'd have it no other way
And our love would rule, this kingdom we have made
Til then I'll be a fool, wishing for the day
That I can change the world.

I first heard this song years ago, when the movie Phenomenon came out. I did enjoy the movie, and loved this song when it first came out. Great song by Eric Clapton, kinda feeds into my hopeless romantic side.

2. It's All About You - Tupac Shakur

Due to explicit lyrics, none will be displayed.

Musically, this was a good song, off of 2Pac's All Eyez on Me CD in 1996. The beat was a good one. Reminds me of my high school days, I remember listening to this CD all the time before baseball practice just to get the bodies moving.

3. Everything She Wants - Wham

Somebody tell me - won't you tell me-
Why I work so hard for you
Give you money - work to give you money

Well, I was a young one when this first came out, but I had heard it growing up. I then saw the Behind the Music of George Michael a few months ago, and saw the tragic story of his life. The trials and tribulations he's gone through was something I didn't know. Dealing with his fame, his pending announcement of his homosexuality, the loss of a loved one, the love of his life, just a sad tale to hear. I came away with a greater appreciation for his music. He does have a fantastic voice, and hearing this song again, I just had to download it and add to my library.


4. Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride-Lilo & Stitch Sountrack

If you really want to know the artist who sang it, I'll write it to you later, I didn't want to hear cuz it would've taken up 2 lines to write. Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite animated movies out there. I'm not a big Disney fan, but this movie was so funny, and yet very touching. It tells the story of the alien Stitch, and his search to belong to a family. This song is played at the beginning of the movie, and the hawaiian music takes me back to when I visited Oahu 10 years ago. I can still hear the sound of the waves crashing, and the beautiful beaches on the island.

5. Even Flow - Pearl Jam

Alright, there are 2 artists who dominate my library, Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band. Between the 2 groups I have over 100 songs in my library from the 2 artists. Now for the memory or meaning of this song to me. There are times where I do get angry. I do have a bit of a temper, but the times I show my anger are very few and far between. When I do enter this place of rage, I like to crank up the music that feeds my rage. This is one of those songs, I'll crank it up, and sing the song as loud as I can to help release my tension. It does wonders for me, and the guitaring of Mike McCready in this song is one of my favorite pieces. The man just jams away and with Eddie's voice, I can't get enough of early Pearl Jam.

That's it for my WW. As I've said before, my library is quite different in the type of songs and the range of moods they can feed into.
