Put Your Music Player On Shuffle

After failing to finish the last 30-day challenge, I vowed never to take on one again. So when a friend of mine asked if I would like to participate in another challenge, I politely declined. I admit, the challenge seemed much more interesting than the previous one (and I'm actually tempted to do it), but I don't think I can commit to making a daily post. Not right now at least. I will, however, indulge myself by taking on the challenge for Day 10. Just because. Haha!

Day 10 says to put your music player on shuffle and post the first ten songs that play. Here's what I got:

I'll pretend that I'm kissing
The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true

Day 6: A song that makes me cry (or nearly).

Considering how emotional I am, there are probably quite a number of songs that I've listened and cried to. When the words and melody go together in a way that tugs on my heartstrings, expect me to turn into such a sissy. This goes without saying that to name one song is quite hard. Especially since I have filed these songs in categories according to how they make me feel. Like when I listen to my playlist of religious songs, I can't help but tear up at the realization that I am not as a good a person as I hoped I'd be.

However, if there's one song that's sure to get to me, it would be this. Someone's Waiting For You from The Rescuers used to be my favorite song as a kid. It is also the very same song that my mom would sing to me when I'm sick. She sang it to me when I was in the hospital for dengue and wouldn't stop crying from the endless needle pricking, and again when I was scared to go under the knife to have my inflamed appendix removed. I won't offer any guarantee of tears when it plays, but it will always remind me of the most trying times in my life with my mom beside me, helping me to get through.

Rapunzel's Song

O, Sing Sweet Nightingale, I sing

A lonely tune is what I bring

And sitting by the windowsill

Atop a tower on a hill

Singing a lonesome melody

Hoping that someone hears my plea

A wish for love to rescue me

A prince's kiss to set me free

As I look at the setting sun

With my hair gleaming by the light

I long to be free, free to run

In the meadows, all day, all night

O, what I'd give to be out there

Where no one needs to climb my hair

O, mother, please I want to fly

Bid this lonely tower goodbye

The birds sing of this thing called love

A thing, I know, that's meant for me

One day my prince will look above

And we'll fall in love - O, what glee!

O, when, o, when, will I be free?

O, when, o, when, will he come for me?
