The Last Song Syndrome

I hate L.S.S. whenever it happened to me in unexpected places and situations. L.S.S. stands for Last Song Syndrome. It simply means to listen to music before going out of the house, and having the last song you hear before leaving stick in your head all through your journey, and beyond. Is usually accompanied by subconscious humming. This syndrome is particularly dangerous when the song happens to be the most pathetic, crappy, albeit catchy song ever. (from urban dictionary)

Yesterday morning, My daughter started singing this song from a TV commercial. And it was a catchy but very lousy type of song. She started singing it when she saw the ad on TV and she sang along. The Ad was already finished but she kept singing the song.

And what happened next? I started singing too, And i kept singing the whole morning. And the most embarrassing happened when i went to the bank, and while waiting for my turn i started singing it. And because the TV ad was popular. A lot of people were familiar to that song. And to my stupidity i even sang at least two lines. Oh My! I heard people were laughing at my back. and The bank tellers too. So embarrassing!

So after what happened, I started to sing a nice song in my head. To remove the unwanted one. I never thought of singing a new song earlier because i was just so busy. Oh what a day!

Btw, That's my daughter when she was 2.

Want to hear real free music?

As a voice coach, I always make sure that i pass the real art of music to my students. It's not all about singing in front of people or playing their favorite music instruments.It's more than that, It's about the heart and mind that you put into it, The passion and knowledge.

I think music is one main reason why me and my husband ended up with each other. Both of us were former lead vocals of different bands. He's from a heavy rock band and I'm from a soft punk rock. I still keep our composed songs and hope someday it will be played locally and internationally.

I found this one amazing social networking site called Kerchoonz,
A site that pays artists whenever their music has been played or downloaded. Unsigned or signed artists, indie or major artists are all very much welcome. And another one thing that is so cool about them is that anyone can get paid by referring talented bands and other artist. It's an absolutely win win scenario.

Oh yeah and one more thing, It's free and legal music!So, just sign up, (it usually takes just few seconds) and you can now easily listen and download music without the guilt. This brand new music destination will definitely go a long way. Helping artists to show off their talents, Helping them to earn money, and helping the music industry against piracy. You could watch this video and see for yourself.

Enveloped Ideas
The dawn

Singing out my enveloped ideas
Doesn’t seem all too bad
Hoping it would be easier
To sing out my enveloped ideas

Stanza I:
T0rying pointlessly to understand
Having nothing to say
Just shadows what remains boy Inside
This is called is what my envelope ideas

Singing out my envelope ideas
Doesn’t seem all too bad
Hoping it would be easier
To sing out my enveloped ideas

Stanza II:
Why should I carry this platter? (platter)
Didn’t it just pass me by? (by…)
And does one cling right on the edge? (the edge)
I have an empty dream, this here my ideas.

Repeat Chorus

Rock on!
