Aiko's 10 Fun Songs

Yes, we are very much powered by PLDT MyDSL and I love it!

It's just great to know that I am related to a lot of people born on the love month. As promised, here's our 3rd installment with yet another celebrator's list.

These songs are from a lovely, young lady that happens to be a huge fan of fun. and other not-so-mainstream, not-yet-noticed-by-the-judgmental-society musicians. She worries that her infatuation might end up once an artist or a band becomes too popular. But what I like about her is that she knows her music and that lyrics is the most important part of any song. She believes that a song is a memory, not just a bunch of words with melody.

Ladies, gentlemen and the whole LGBT community, let's all welcome the newest convert to reading my blog, my 3rd audience:

Kawaii! ^_^v
Okay, pervs. She already denied being Japanese and she's taken. So sorry. Let's go back to music, shall we? :)

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 10 ALLISON by BRANDON BOYD



Yes, Brandon Boyd was number 1 on my "Marriable" Rockstars List in college. Well, during my time, he's like the hottest human ever created by the good Lord up above. However, due to his physical situation, he was replaced by Daniel Padilla. Oh, he's not a rockstar? Okay, let's put Brandon back then... :)

FAVE LINES: I'm not going to get too sentimental | like those other sticky valentines | 'Cause I don't know if you are loving somebody | I only know it isn't mine

BRANDON FACTS: Aside from being the frontman of the band Incubus, Brandon writes and paints. Not like the kinder writing and painting, you moron. He already published two books: White Fluffy Clouds and From the Murks of the Sultry Abyss and celebrated his first solo painting show titled Ectoplasm.

I still find him yummy.

Tweet him! @mybrandonboyd

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 9 BRICK by BEN FOLDS FIVE



Again, Aiko loves songs with impressive words -- one of them is this song by Ben Folds Five.

FAVE LINES: As weeks went by | It showed that she was not fine | They told me "Son, it's time | To tell the truth" | And she broke down | And I broke down

BEN FOLDS FIVE FACTS: The band is actually a trio. Ben said, "I think it sounds better than Ben Folds Three." Their breakup actually led to a successful reunion, complete with band tours and album galore.

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 8 WHY DOES IT ALWAYS RAIN ON ME by TRAVIS 


A very tricky question. Everyone can relate to this. We lie when we were 17, right? LOL!

FAVE LINES: Why does it always rain on me? | Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? | Why does it always rain on me? | Even when the sun is shining | I can't avoid the lightning

TRAVIS FACTS: They are from Glasgow in Scotland categorized as post-Britpop. The band almost called it quits when their drummer Neil Primrose broke his neck after he jumped head-first into a shallow pool while they were on tour in France. He almost died due to spinal damage. But this incident made the band "regroup and re-evaluate", thus producing more depth into their musicality.

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 7 FLOWERS IN THE WINDOW by TRAVIS



A sweet, glad-sad-mad love song. Ahhh! <3

FAVE LINES: 'Cause to stand up, out in the crowd | You are one in a million | And I love you so | Let's watch the flowers grow

ADD-ON FACTS: This song is from Travis' album The Invisible Band. The album spent 54 weeks on the UK Album charts, being number 1 since debut. Flowers in the Window was actually composed long before the release of their album The Man Who. Paul McCartney co-wrote the song but he was not credited for it.

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 6 JUST GIVE ME A REASON by P!NK feat. NATE RUESS


It became one of our LSS since its release to the Philippine pop public. The music video was much anticipated, too, as it showed P!nk's hot husband, Carey Hart.

FAVE LINES: Just give me a reason | Just a little bit's enough | Just a second we're not broken just bent | And we can learn to love again

P!NK FACTS: Pink has been described as an artist who has changed the scope of pop music, but has hardly received recognition for it. But this fact never stopped her from making great music. Her well-recognized powerful vocals become greater when she stopped smoking. 

About her fashion sense, P!nk told In Style: "I'm eclectic. I'm a tomboy, but I'm kind of a hippie and kind of a gangster... I don't know if that's a good thing, but it is my thing." She is almost a vegan, though she eats chicken and fish occasionally. 

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 5 SOME NIGHTS by FUN.


We first featured fun. last year (see Gaget's Happy 10) and a lot of changes had taken place since. Well, they just won 2 Grammy's and got nominated to a few more categories, just those. Big leap for an indie pop band? Not really. YES, REALLY!!!

FAVE LINES: Well, some nights I wish that this all would end | 'Cause I could use some friends for a change | And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again | Some nights I always win, I always win...

FUN. FACTS: fun. won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for We Are Young. I guess their old band, The Format's breakup was a blessing in disguise after all. They are selling records and touring the world. 

fun. along with designer Rachel Antonoff have collaborated to create the Ally Coalition, an organization supporting the LGBTQ rights.

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 4 HANDS DOWN by DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL


Dashboard Confessional is love. Ever since. Aww!

FAVE LINES: And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist | and you kissed me like you meant it | And I knew that you meant it | that you meant it | that you meant it

DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL FACTS: They have been active in making  awesome "cheesy" rock since 1999. The band was supposed to be a solo side project of the frontman Chris Carrabba while he was in Further Seems Forever.

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 3 THE GAMBLER by FUN.


Sweetest. Love. Song. Ever. Reminds me of Up. Aww...

FAVE LINES: 'Til this day, you swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time | But it's not time, you never quit in all your life | So just take my hand and know that I will never leave your side | You're the love of my life, you know that I will never leave your side

ADD-ON FACTS: The song is actually about Nate's parents' undying love and and affection. It mentioned the time when the family moved to Arizona from Iowa. The song also mentioned Nate and Libbie (son and daughter).

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 2 WHY AM I THE ONE? by FUN.


I know, I know! Aiko just can't get enough of FUN.

FAVE LINES: And I just want to stay in bed | and hold you like I used to | You know that I am home | so darling if you love me | would you let me know...

ADD-ON FACTS: Nate, after winning for We Are Young, jokingly said, "I don't know what I was thinking, writing the chorus for this song. If this is in HD, everybody can see our faces, and we are not very young."

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 1 CARRY ON by FUN.


And to top it all, the song that carries the positivity when you feel like the society is against you. Every time someone makes me feel low, I carry on. :)

FAVE LINES: If you're lost and alone | Or you're sinking like a stone | Carry on | May your past be the sound | Of your feet upon the ground | Carry on


ADD-ON FACTS: Aiko dreams of watching a FUN. concert here in the Philippines. Hello, Ovation Productions? :)

Happy birthday, Aiko. May this new year adds wisdom and experience to you. God bless! Love you much!
