Not having been born yesterday and all, I am very much aware of the fact that it's easy to listen to a song and immediately assume that it's about us. Having said this, I was amazed by the timing of the songs I was hearing throughout Singapore for their lyrics and/or melodies were an unbelievably appropriate reflection of what I was going through.
If you are curious to know how my experience in Singapore translates into a playlist, just have a look below:
- On Friday morning, after our incredible night out, Charlotte played this song: Give Me Everything (Tonight), Pitbull
- On Friday evening, I went to the Zoo with Charlotte and Cyril and this was one of the songs I heard in the car: Love Today, Mika
- This was the best song I've heard on St. Patrick's Day (Saturday): Champagne Supernova, Oasis
- One of the songs I've heard in the club we've been to on St. Patrick's Day: Sleep, Conjure One
- On Sunday afternoon, I joined Charlotte and Omar for lunch and this was one of the songs playing while we sat in Hooters: Everything's Gonna Be Alright, Bob Marley
- On Sunday evening, I bumped into Margarida, who I hadn't seen for three years; we had dinner together and, as soon as I got back to the Hangout, I checked my e-mails while listening to the Just Married Theme Song by Christopher Beck
- On Monday afternoon, I was at the airport waiting for the plane back to Bangkok and heard this song: It Must Have Been Love, Roxette
Never before had I felt so... watched and, at times, even taken care of. So do not believe for a second that there is no magic in the world because there is. And it's looking straight at you. Even if you do not see it.
