I've wanted to post about Ed Sheeran's new MV since the day it was released but I just didn't have time becos I was too caught up with the things in the office. Anyway, if you haven't seen Ed's new MV for the song "Shape Of You", I decided to post it right here on my blog.
Did you guys see the chemistry between Ed and her partner? Well, I think they got good chemistry. And I am amazed at Ed's new body. Did I just see Ed with abs?! And you know what? This MV reminds me or rather telling me to get back into boxing again. LOL!
Have you guys heard the song "Rockabye" by Clean Bandit feat. Sean Paul and Ann-Marie? Well, this song's my favorite as of the moment. I am not a single mother but the lyrics touched my heart and moved me.

this gotta be my favorite live performance of Ann-Marie of this song.
"Rockabye"
(feat. Anne-Marie & Sean Paul)
Call it love and devotion
Call it a mom's adoration
Foundation
A special bond of creation, ha
For all the single moms out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-da-Paul, Anne-Marie
Sing, make them hear
She works the nights, by the water
She's gone astray, so far away
From my father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (Daily struggle)
She tells him, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
(Stay out there, stay out there)
She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"
(Stay out there, stay out there)
So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye, no
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
(Rockabye, yeah oh oh)
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Single mama you doing out there
Facing the hard life, without no fear (Yeah)
Just so you know that you really care
Cause any obstacle come you're well prepared (Oh no)
And no mama, you never shed tear
Cause you have to shed things year after year
And you give the youth love beyond compare (Yeah)
You find his school fee and the bus fare (Yeah)
Mmm Marie, the pops' disappear
In the round back can't find him nowhere
Steadily you work flow, everything you know
Say you nah stop no time - no time for your jear
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe
When she says "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
(Oh-badda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)
Rockabye, no
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
(Rockabye, yeah oh oh)
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says
She tells him, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
(Stay out there, stay out there)
She tells him, "Your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life (stay)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"
(Stay out there, stay out there)
So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye
(Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
(Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye
(Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
(Oh-badda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)
Rockabye
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky (Rockabye)
Queen in 1975
(From L-R: Roger Taylor -drummer; Freddie Mercury - vocals;
Brian May - guitars and John Deacon - bass)
I've always loved the band QUEEN and Freddie Mercury. And Freddie is the greatest showman, performer and singer for me in the entire universe. *hands down*. Close contender would be Michael Jackson. Hihi.
Anyway, aside from the song "Bohemian Rhapsody", the song "It's A Hard Life" (1984) from their album The Works (1984) would definitely be my next favorite QUEEN song of all time. The lyrics is just so beautiful. And the live performance of this song is also my favorite.
Gahd, I'm so obsessed with this band and their songs. They are truly wonderful. It just sucks that I've never got the chance to see him/them live. I wish I've lived in the era where great music exists. Yes I'm talking about 60s-80s music. Well, 90s was the era I grew up with and I can say that the music was fairly good. But if I get to choose what era I wish to live in in terms of music, I'd definitely choose the time The Beatles and Queen made great music for people to listen to. I guess I'm really an old soul. :)
Well, if you haven't heard the song or seen the music video and live performance of this song, let me share it with you, guys. One should be sharing good music to the world. ;)
Gaaah, I didn't know that Zachary Levi could actually sing?! `been playing this song over and over again this past few days and it has become my favorite song as of the moment. This song is for MatsuJun-- i'm delusional, I know. I love the lyrics and as a matter of fact, I'm thinking of writing a new story out of this. Well, that still depends, pag sinipag ako. But as of now, the idea would be put on hold.
