Day 29 - A song from your childhood

Like as if I havent mentioned enough about my childhood.

Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody

Music Challenge from Day 21 - Day 28

So I've been slacking. I know! It was my birthday! 30th as a matter of fact. And although I did not do much, I've managed to keep away from all internet applications. Minus what work demanded.

Here is a catch up.

Day 21 – A song that you listen to when you’re happy

George Michael - Faith

Day 22 – A song that you listen to when you’re sad
REM – Everybody Hurts


Day 23 – A song that you want to play at your wedding. This is such a happy and romantic song. Fell in love with it and Michael from the movie.. The Wedding Date
Michael Buble – Save the last dance for me


Day 24 – A song that you want to play at your funeral

People also pick sad songs to play at their funeral if they do play any at all...Muslims usually don't play any but if i had a choice and with Music being such a big entity in my life, I would pick
Slumdog Millionaire – Latika’s Theme

There is a sense of serenity and a new beginning feel to it, which in a way symbolizes how I would be at that moment and onwards...

Day 25 – A song that makes you laugh

Just watch the video and hear the lyrics...NUFF SAID!

Bloodhound Gang – The Bad Touch


Day 26 – A song that you can play on an instrument
Doe A Dear – Sound of Music

Day 27 – A song that you wish you could play

Metallica – Nothing Else Matters

Day 28 – A song that makes you feel guilty
This song reminds me of that one morning in my apt in Abu Dhabi. Eldorado Bldg, 18th Floor Penthouse overlooking the Gulf Sea (Corniche). I still remember how cozy it was under the covers but in a chilled room...

Bryan Adams – Please Forgive Me

Day 20 - A Song That You Listen To When You Are Angry

On Day 20 I have decided that the challenge that I had so easily tweaked has become quite the mute point. So from today to the rest of the 10 odd days left to complete Challenge No.1, I'm going to retort back to the original plan to just post the song. But if I feel generous enough to share an anecdote. Then So be it.

So on this day, I hope you enjoy the song I listen to when I am angry!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge

Day 19 - A Song From Your Favourite Album

If U2 is my favourite band, clearly my fave album has to be one of theirs. But to choose which is my favourite album is like asking who is your favourite child? Not that I'm taking credit for their birth or anything but it really is a toss up! To choose between The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby.

But since, I've already posted a song from the Joshua Tree, I'll post something From AB.

Here goes, Enjoy

U2 - Mysterious Ways

Day 18 - A Song That You Wish You Hear On The Radio

I love how Jamiroquai has the 70s 80s feel to his music but also not. So I want to hear

Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl

Day 17 - A Song You Often Hear On The Radio

I cant remember when was the last time I heard the radio. Maybe when my driver was waiting for me in front of the office and I entered the car without him realizing that I was there. But when I did, it was

Eenie Meenie – Sean Kingston ft. Justin Beiber

Day 16 - A Song You Used To Love But Now Hate

Everyone used to make fun of me when I used to say that I loved this song! It's upbeat, catchy and it had girl power...what's not to like, right? Now when I look at this song, I think to myself, what was I thinking? Look at this video and I think you will agree with me!

Spice Girls - Wannabe

Day 15 - A song that describes you

Defining one self to a particular song is like saying I saw a pig fly! It's IMPOSSIBLE! Solely because a person sees themselves differently based on what they are feeling at that very moment. For example, when a person is in a good mood, he/she would think that they are the million dollar baby but when sad, he/she would probably describe themselves as a worthless piece of %&#&! Anyways, don't know if you can figure out what my mood is like right now, but these are the two songs that I currently feel like it represents me the most today!

Meredith Brooks - I'm a Bitch

Blind Melon - No Rain

Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love

Since people connect me to more flowery and new age music, my choice for today may be a shocker. Thanks to Sajjad who connected me to this song back in the day when it was released! Enjoy this song by Linkin Park called In the End.

MUST READ: Pigeonholed by Akkas Al Ali

Now that I'm all caught up with my music challenge, I thought I would share a great article penned by my "playwright, dramaturg and director" friend, Akkas Al Ali. Published in The Platform. He is based in UK.

Where in the world did Days 8 - 13 go?

For some reason my posts from Day 8 to 13 are missing including an article my friend wrote...

Well here is a consolidated version of all those posts...Ok akkas, for you, I will post your article separately yet again.

Day 8 - A song you know all the words to...

A song that mostly everyone either knows the words to or wants to know the words to.

Extreme - More Than Words

Day 9 - A song that you can dance to

When this song came out, every party, dinner and or dance, we kids were forced to danced to this song. We mastered the steps by the end of the day of listening to this song. Even taught others how to dance to this song!!

Los Del Rio - Macarena

Day 10 - A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep

A song that makes me fall asleep is usually a song that makes me feel all relaxed prior to falling a sleep. Every time I listen to this song, it just manages to relax all my tensions, worries and problems and during that four minutes and nineteen seconds it transcends me to the happy place of uninterrupted sleep!

Coltrane and Duke Ellington - In A Sentimental Mood

Day 11 - A Song From My Favourite Band

This is undoubtedly the best song ever produced. All U2 Fans and even non U2 fans will agree with me that it is one great song! This is my go to song...

U2 - With or Without You

Day 12- A Song From A Band That You Hate
So I have no idea on the following matters regarding this band.

Band Name: Hanson Brothers

No Clue on:
1. Why are the a band?
2. Why were they popular?
3. Why can't they sing?
4. Where are they now?

and most importantly

5. Are they boys or girls?

Hanson Brothers - MMMBOP

Day 13 -A song that is a guilty pleasure

TLC – Red Light Special

I think this is self explanatory.
