Day 10 – A song that makes you fall asleep

Music challenge time! Day 10 is a song that makes you fall asleep.

My criteria for this day are: the song has to have lyrics that induces imagination and deep thinking; it has to involve an acoustic guitar; and when you listen to it on your bed you won't be able to finish it cause you are already in your deep slumber.

I should have clipped her wings and made her mine

One song goes to my mind:    Heaven Knows (This Angel Has Flown) by Orange and Lemons

There are times when I'm lying in my bed
How I bellow and cry from this stupid get
And my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day
Almost rubbed down, swelling, as I keep on
Dipping my face in these cold hands of mine
Heaven knows how bitter I am


Chorus

Will she ever find her way back home to me?

'Cause this angel has flown away from me
Leaving me in drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings and made her mine
For all eternity
Now this angel has flown away from me
Thought I had the strength to set her free
Did what I did because I love her so
Will she ever find her way back home to me
Aah...

I'm so tired, I feel like catching forty winks
Being up all night in this elbow room
That puts me in a trance
Where hopes and dreams come true
Now my lips are burning and my eyes are hurting
From this fumes I mixed till I light another
Cigarette just to pass my time, oh
Heaven knows how embittered I am(Repeat chorus)

Just remember to turn off your mp3s. :]

Day 09 – A song that "you" can dance to

This is a funny one.  I will make this short and sweet.
I choose Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice or maybe Footloose.

Pixel people FTW!

...
...
kidding.
Let me browse some tunes in the last two albums of the B.E.P.

Don't Stop the Party - Black Eyed Peas

I welcome the reinvention of the B.E.P with their techno dance tunes.

Day 08 – A song that you know all the words to

Hey earthlings, I had been busy these days so I missed to make a consecutive music challenge.
Nevertheless, this one is interesting - a song that you know all the words too. I could think of nursery rhymes as the first set of songs that I master all the words too, however, those doesn't sound too legitimate or mature.
To be honest, memorizing lyrics is my waterloo. I have that tendency to mumble and fumble by the middle of a simple song. However, this song, I could remember very clearly. It is a song that we used to sing out with friends in my days as an elementary student, albeit, pitchy according to Randy. Here's the song:

This Love - Maroon 5

This Love is the 2004 hit single in Maroon 5's debut album "Songs About Jane". The song is, as you know, has mature content, but that didn't ever cross my mind. I just love the song as it is. The music video only cemented its explicit content.

The first lyrics were: "I was so high, I did not recognize the fire burning in her eyes", I didn't even bother opening elyrics.com :D.

Day 07 – A song that reminds you of a certain event

I cheated cause I skipped some days.
Either way, it would not have changed this feeling of nostalgia in this day's music challenge - a song that reminds you of an event.

This song reminds me of days on the beach.
It brings back the memories of that cool breeze blowing on my sunburned skin; that delicious coconut drink, the laughter of your family; the reggae beats; and that salty sea. I'm sure that you experienced this too, especially that summer is still on.

My nostalgia inducing song is:
Kokomo - Beach Boys

It is just one of the songs that shouts VACATION!
The funny thing is that I thought the Muppets sang it originally.
Here is a video of the Muppets' version. You might recognize it too.
UPDATE: The video is now removed by the user. I advice you go straight to youtube and search for a similar video. Thanks.

TARA 18 Summary : Ep. 10: "Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen"

“They start yellin’, they start hoopin’, they start holla!” - Kent

The Amazing Race 18:Unfinished Business had aired its tenth episode. The remaining five racers battled it out for the $1,000,000 prize. The location on this episode is in Switzerland with a budget of one dollar.

literally stuck 

The five teams were in the snowy alps of Switzerland when they received a detour to choose between search and rescue. In search, teams have to locate a buried dummy with a locator. In rescue, teams have to rescue a man stuck in a crevasse by using a pulley system.


Search : Zev & Justin; Gary & Mallory
Rescue: Kisha & Jen; Kent & Vyxin; Flight time & Big Easy


All the teams who chose the rescue detour were able to finish faster. Gary & Mallory, however, managed to squeeze in to the train ride to Zermatt with the other teams. 


In the Roadblock, teams have to replicate the travelocity gnome made entirely of chocolate. They have to carefully place colored chocolate to the molds. After making the front and back sections of the gnome, they placed their molds in the freezer. This where the drama begins. Since, the teams were sharing the same freezer, a mix-up is inevitable. The globetrotters claimed that one of their molds were taken away. The blame then went to Vyxin, the fuchsia haired-goth, who denied the accusation. However, she didn't defend herself pretty well unlike the other teams. To make it even more confusing, the cameramen weren't able to capture that moment.

Is Vyxin innocent?

Zev and Justin ,who lost all their energy from the search challenge, arrived and started on with their gnomes.
The other teams then proceeded to fill their molds with chocolate, then buried them outside with snow for 30 minutes.


The four teams zipped to the roadblock and proceeded to the pit stop, Mürini & Mittagstadel – Swiss Cabin , leaving Zev and Justin. Having trouble with electric taxis, Kent and Vyxin, is left once again. Globetrotters came out first winning a trip for two to the Cook Islands while the sisters finished second. The dating goths, reached the pit stop as the third team to arrive. However, much to their demise, they incur a 30 minute penalty for not going on foot to the pit stop. Gary and Mallory were checked-in as the official third. Arguing over their predicament, Kent and Vyxin could only watch as Zev and Justin were able to reach the pit stop as fourth place.


Kent and Vyxin, for the second time in the amazing race (last one was in season 12), finished 5th place.
Summary:

1. Flight time and Big Easy
2. Kisha and Jen
3. Gary and Mallory
4. Zev and Justin
5. Kent and Vyxin
