Sway

Well, to counter Cibetronic's plain selection of music (all typical boybands and pop idols), I have decided to put up some unknown yet savoury artiste that you may decide to try.

Bic Runga, a NZ singer with some Malaysian heritage, doesn't seem to have stirred anything yet here, yet, her sweet songs indeed have aroused my attention. It was incidental, where I was watching "American Pei", and the song was somewhere in one of the scenes. The melody just whoosh into my mind and it got glued there.

I would actually describe her voice as honey with a tinge of vinegar. She does have a sweet vocal, but most of her songs are glossed witha gloomy mood.

Take this song Sway, for example.

Don't stray, don't ever go away. I should be much too smart for this, you know it gets the better of me. Sometimes, when you and I collide. I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time. Don't let me drown, let me down. I say it's all because of you.

And here I go, losing my control. I'm practicing your name so I can say it to your face. It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye. Let all the things you mean to me, come tumbling out my mouth. Indeed it's time to tell you why I say it's infinitely true.

Say you'll stay, don't come and go, like you do. Sway my way, yeah I need to know all about you.

And there's no cure, and no way to be sure. Why everything's turned inside out, instilling so much doubt. It makes me so tired. I feel so uninspired. My head is battling with my heart. My logic has been torn apart. And now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon

It's all because of you It's all because of you It's all because of you
