Music Monday: "Always with Me, Always with You"

So, in looking back at my previous Music Monday selections, I noticed that there seems to be mostly Korean music.  While that is definitely what I'm listening to a lot right now, it isn't my favorite music at all.  Sure, I have a few Korean favorites (CN Blue, anyone?), but overall I am NOT a K-pop fan.  Unless the K-pop stars are acting in Korean dramas.  Then they might be my favorites.

But I digress...

Anyway, that got me thinking.  Awesome and I are about to celebrate our 7th anniversary, which I'm still having a hard time believing.  The time has FLOWN, and yet sometimes I wonder how we've only been together for 7 years.  It seems like we've always been together.  Not in a bad way.  It just feels to me like my life really started on the day that he and I became friends.

While Awesome and I aren't exactly your typical couple, we do sort of have a song, "Always with Me, Always with You," by Joe Satriani.  This song is actually special to me because of all the times I heard Awesome playing it on the guitar during the time we were dating.  And while Joe is a phenomenal musician, personally I don't think he's anywhere near as fun to listen to as Awesome.  But again, I may just be a fangirl who's a little biased.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

Music Monday: "If You Come Into My Heart"

Ever have a bad day?  Today was a doozy.  I keep thinking that things at work will start calming down...but they don't.  Anyway, when I've had a really lousy day I start listening to all my favorite music and rewatching my favorite tv shows.  In my attempt to make myself feel better and relax, I came across this song...and it made me feel happy.  It's not a great recording, since it's live--on the tv show anyway--but it's so pretty!  This song is a cover of the song "If You Come Into My Heart," sung by Lee Jong Hyuk from "A Gentleman's Dignity," one of my many favorite Korean dramas.  I hope it brightens up your day like it did mine!

Music Monday: Jung Yong Hwa, "Comfort Song"

It's been a hard week, and all I need is someone to sing a song to make me feel better.  I love this song, because it is exactly meant to make someone feel better.  "Comfort Song" is from the Korean tv show "Heartstrings," my favorite, if you've been following along.  I hope you like it and feel a little better about life.

Music Monday: Simon & Garfunkel, "April Come She Will"

The first time I heard this song was at an Eric Johnson concert.  He did a beautiful cover of it.  Then I heard the song (the Simon & Garfunkel original) on an episode of Angel Eyes, a Korean drama.  It perfectly suited the bittersweet nature of the drama, of love found and lost, and found again.  While I did not finish the drama (I didn't really want to cry my eyes out, even if the show was beautiful), I had to listen to the song nonstop for days.  I hope you enjoy it!
