Here are the list of songs which I shall aim to revisit and listen to again:
Take That - Back for Good, How deep is your love, Relight my Fire, Babe
NKOTB - By my valentine, Please don't go girl
BB Mak - Come Back
O Town - Liquid Dreams (Hahahaha... I use to despise this song, but I have to concede it is nice and groovy. Something special when it was first broadcasted.)
Human Nature - I Wish, Last Christmas
Bossan - One in a million
These songs really remind me of the late night radio listening sessions with my roomate, who is also my favourite cousin (I use to reside with her family because I was enrolled in a school far away from home), and the hushed up midnight video watching on TV sessions with her.
We use to creep downstairs to the living room from our room, and switched on the TV just to catch the top 10 videos listed in the US, broadcasted on channel 5 (then known as SBC something). Everyone, especially the ruling adults of the household, was fast asleep in their beds.
These midnight sneaks eventually came to a standstill when my cousin advanced to college, and then university. During her absence, since she moved to the hostels in her uni campus, I don't really enjoy the company of the others, thus I decided to stay in my room, listen to radio till late in the nights.
Those were the comforting times when I was away from home. I'm glad I could still remember =)
Oldies?
It never crossed my mind that the songs I loved and enjoyed years back have stopped playing frequently on the radio. Even if they were played, people would've forgotten that they were once well-loved by the masses.
A conversation about boy bands, NKOTB and Backstreet Boys, The Hansons and The Moffats, came up unintentionally today, and it also spurred me to check on the list of once popular, now forgotten, boybands online.
Guess what - the brief research led me to back to the songs which I've loved, and sad to say, have forgotten all about (since my first computer crashed and burn, and all the hundreds of songs I've collected from friends were never revived).
It's even sadder to learn that some of the songs I remembered enjoying can't be found in music search engines - I can't listen to the mp3 versions of them. So I went to YOUTUBE, and got the music videos. Thank god!
It seems rather warming to listen to these music once again. Makes you truly feel the changing times, and how many years have passed us by.
LFO (Check out their videos "Girl on TV", "Summertime", "I don't wanna Kiss you Goodnight" on YouTube - really missed them!)
Let Loose (Only one song I enjoyed from them - their remake of "Make it with you". Very romantic and weddingly)
