Ever since I decided to join LadyJava's Music Monday, I've been so excited thinking of all the songs I can feature here for my listening pleasure and yours too! Now that EC doesn't allow autoplay music on blogs, I really miss my old music box that used to entertain me here at Mariuca's Perfume Gallery.
I was torn between the many songs that I'd like to feature for the very first time for Music Monday. It has to be a really good one, sufficiently so to get me going with this weekly affair, so it was important to chose a great number. Should I go for a more recent tune, or should I go back in time to when a particular song moved me to do something totally out of character? Or how about one of my favourite 80s tunes? So many picks and I do love music, so after being torn between songs for the whole night, I'm going to go with a tune that's been playing in my mind over and over again these last few days. ;)
Taken from the movie The Bucket List (A story of two terminally ill men who escaped from a cancer ward and ventured on a road trip with a to-dos wish list before they die), this song makes me HEART John Mayer even more. His vocals sound absolutely awesome here, soulful perfection at its height! With a laid-back performance and utter simplicity in delivery, Mariuca can't help but be hopelessly lost in those pleading eyes and adorable chin cleft as JM serenades with his beautiful words! ;)

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all your so called problems
Better put 'em in quotations
Say what you need to say (x7)
Say what you need to saaaay...
Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead
If you could only
Say what you need to say (x7)
Say what you need to saaay...
Have no fear
For giving in
Have no fear
For giving over
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Then never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open... wide...
Say what you need to say (x7)
Say what you need to
Say what you need to
Say what you need to say...

Anyway, glad u're loving it and hey I love my widgets too, but I got rid of some during my last makeover. :):):)

This is my 2nd EC drop before I travel to other site.
You must register with them 1st before using the link service. Have you register or not?
LJ MM is really brilliant idea..
Sound very interesting - the idea of joining LJ's Music Monday. Hehe..
I heart John Mayer's songs. Minus his attitude and her sex life. LOL.. His words just amazing right?
The Bucket List is also a nice choice. I love it.. Dah nak ternangis dah tgk muvee tu. hehehe
Bono, thanks for ur 2nd EC drop here, love Bono! :):):)
Ohhhhh register first is it? Okay, I'll register then will wait for LJ to help me still he he!! Thanks Bono! ;)
Bono, I agree! I love this MM, and it's one that I mmg nak participate, hope to make it a weekly affair here at MPG!
LJ, u did great with this MM, B oso laik!! :):):)
HaaziQ!! For sure u must join, it's interesting gila this MM, this is my first participation, and I'm enjoying every bit of it so far!
Wah...I HEART la JM, and oh my...his words are the best part ...SIGH!! I think this is my fave song from him so far, looking forward to more great numbers by John Mayer woot! :):):)
I have joined MM.. haha.. Come and see who I chose this week! hehe

GP!!! Excellent first entry.. JM is fabulous..another yummy man.. eh he broke up already with Jennifer Aniston kan??

HaaziQ! A classic choice from u, and can't wait to see ur choice next week. Best kan MM? ;)
Yeeha!! Thanks LJ, I really had a great time picking my song and writing this post and seriously, ada byk lagu on my list ni ha ha!
Ooooh JM is a hottie but smlm baru dgr, he pleaded with Jen to take him back! If I were Jen, I'd take him back, she's a tad too old for him, looks wise esp, but he looks like so romantic like dat, for sure she can't resist he he!! :):):)
Emila! That's cause LJ just fixed the widger for me, so baru semua links appear ni yay! You can have Mr. Linky at ur blog too now, easier to see participants! ;)

LJ, baru je Emila put for me, he he he... of coz must prepare for MPG's besday, starting with the header lol! I LOVE my new header too, it all looks so clear and GP looks demure gitu he he!! :)
Ye la, now can't wait for next Monday! No more Monday blues! My choice will usually be the flavour of the week, so it can be anything. :)
Now I'm listening to So Close on repeat! :)
Dat's right Debbs, no more Monday blues and even if got, we can easily feature a song to go along with our moody blues, bestnye!! My choice oso will depend on how I'm feeling that week or day, woo hoo! ;)
Awesome new header..CONGRATS. Emila you really MANTAP deh
Tu la, LJ always come up up with brilliant ideas. :):) Thanks LJ!

Hi Mariuca.
I love music and added my name in the list.
Could you please explain me the rules, if there are any we should consider?
Thanks.
Hi Mize!! Yay, you've joined us here at MM! :)
There are no particular rules I think, just that u have to post a music video of any song you're currently into and we do it every Monday! Don't forget to have the Mr. Linky box at ur post too, so we can all visit each other and check out the videos/songs for the week! Cool fun eh? :):):)
Hi Mariuca.
Ok, simple rules.
Most musics I really like are a bit old but there´s some new stuff I like too.
I think I will have fun.
Cheers.
Love n Hugs from Genie Princess!
