looking for my theme song
Tuesday, July 12, 2005

I'm not an advocate of expletives and abstains from using them unnecessarily but I think my previous entry is justified considering the fact that I've just had a traumatic experience. Well... sort of...

Anyway, I was browsing through the audio files in my PC (which totalled to 6.20GB when I last checked), trying to find something suitable for my bloggy. It was then that I realized, there is no one song that will be able to sum up my life neatly in a few poetic choruses and verses. It's just not possible.

But wouldn't it be great to have your own theme song? Something which you can fall back on whenever the going gets tough yet you just can't seem to get going? Ally McBeal had Vonda Shepard singing Searchin' My Soul; Tom Cruise had that annoying-but-cant-get-that-tune-outta-my-head Mission Impossible theme. Even that quirky 70's Love Boat drama series had a theme song... My point is??? Actually, there is no point... (hehheh)

This entry is merely an excuse to introduce Jamie Cullum's "All At Sea." While it may seem that Cullum is simply one of those fresh-faced wannabes trying to cash in on the jazz-pop crossover phenomenon (think Norah Jones, Renee Olstead, Joss Stone, Michael Buble, Peter Cinnoti, et al), he is I think, a little different from the rest of his contemporaries. Then again, I'm not a qualified music critic so I can't tell if he's a bona fide talented artiste or just another poseur.

But this is a nice song (to me at least) and I think the banner above goes well with it :)
I'm all at sea
Where no-one can bother me
I sleep by myself
I drink on my own
Don't speak to nobody
I gave away my phone
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to...
