Songs in my head
Well, besides the usual Chinese New Year songs and dong dong chiangs I keep hearing, my manager and I have been hearing this song over the radio and it has been stuck in our minds for quite some time now. It's pretty catchy and i decided to do a search on the lyrics. The song is by Kelis... yes yes.. surprise. the same one who sang Milkshake! And it's called Lil Star. The lyrics are quite nice.
Lil Star by Kelis featuring Cee-loo
Lil Star by Kelis featuring Cee-loo
There is nothing special about me
I am just a lil star
If it seems like I'm shining brightly
It's probably a reflection of something you already are
I forget about myself sometime
When there's so many other around
When deep inside you feels darkest
That is where I can always be found
That is where I can always be found
That is where I can always be found
Chorus:
Just keep trying and trying
It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let 'em stop you from smiling
Just keep trying and trying
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see
and you sure look like a star to me
There is nothing special about me
I am just a lil star
If you try to reach out an touch me
you'll see I'm not really that far
I may not be the brightest nor am I the last one you’ll see
But as long as you notice, that’s just fine with me
Everything’s just fine with me
Everything’s just fine with me
There is nothing special about me
I am just a lil star
I’ve been running and jumping, but barely
Getting, getting over the bar
I plan on being much more than I, am but that's in do time
But until then I'm guilty, and being humans my crime
Being human that is my crime
Being human that is my crime
Yup.. remember, no 2 stars are the same and every one is special, even if you dun feel that way.
Here's the MTV if you want to hear what it sounds like. MTV isn't impressive though.

Speaking of impressive MTVs, I managed to find the MTV for OK GO's Here it goes again.
I saw the MTV when I was in Hong Kong and I was super impressed with it. I mean.. how often do
you see some guys who are mid 30's, singing and dancing around 8 threadmills? If that is not
impressive enough, you should see how well executed it is. It looks like it was done in one take!
It doesn't hurt that the song is quite nice too :)
