alicia keys - brand new me
exactly what she says. love this song.
beyonce - me myself and i + irreplaceable + if i were a boy + single ladies (AOL session)
randomly came across this on youtube…what a great breakup track list.
…exactly what she said…
sigur ros - the nothing song
years ago Aissa and i use to mellow out at our apartment to sigur ros……well more like she would blast it and i would ask why she was depressed. haha. after loops of several tracks, i grew into liking them and haven’t stopped listening since. Aissa was always good at introducing me to all sorts of music. today while listening to my itunes on shuffle, this song came up.
#missingaissa
nneka - shining star
this song came up and totally reminds me of my twin sister Aissa. not a day passes i don’t think of her and everything she has (and continues) to teach me. forever a part of me <3
you’re my piece/peace of mind..oh shining star, will you smile down on me…i can feel you, your light it dwells within my mind
jessie ware x benzel - if you love me
say it say it say it
do it do it do
prove it prove it prove it
keyshia cole - zero
“see it pays to tell the truth, but you didn’t do it, now you’re left with zero”
recently i’ve been listening to a radio station based out of malaysia and they tossed on this classic. reminds me that there’s hope for the next one. just gotta steer away from lying, cheating toads.
babyface - i care for you
my sister Aissa and i would play this song over and over when it had first came out. when things just seem a little too crazy and hectic, this was one of our go-to jams.
today randomly this song popped into my head. maybe it was Aissa reminding me to chill and enjoy the tranquility of things being slowed down. it’s easy for my mind to go a million miles an hour, especially with everything that’s been happening. she always has been and to this day continues to be one to balance me. though i know i will have to be able to balance myself - reminders from Aissa are always appreciated.
lessons from her, i have many.
chiddy bang - slow down
wish i would’ve knew then what i know now
but for now, life feels better when it’s slowed down
Aissa and I would listen to this song at times we felt weak…
ben harper - i shall not walk alone
Battered and torn
still I can see the light
tattered and worn
but I must kneel to fight
Friend of mine
what can’t you spare
I know some times
it gets cold in there
When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
Hope is alive
while we’re apart
only tears
speak from my heart
break the chains
that hold us down
and we shall be
forever bound
When I’m tired and weary
and a long way from home
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
I shall not walk alone
Beauty that
we left behind
how shall we
tomorrow find
Set aside
our weight in sin
so that we
can live again
When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
I shall not walk alone
