Music is a force in our lives. Everyone has a song that has touched them in some way. This is a place to share those songs and tell the stories that make them so important to us.

Hopefully this isn't an ad for some upcoming tv show. Im not sure exactly what it is, bit its adorable and touching and as I was walking around times square... it was nice to see something with a beautiful and simple message.
What do you think its for?

This bodegga is either lost in translation or making a pathetic attempt to offer multi taskers a broad range of services.

Like everyone else, I'm waiting for the day to arrive when Avril's "Girlfriend" will grow old. Days go by and I still can't get enough of it.
Today I came across the "worldwide" release of the single which includes 8 versions of the song in different languages including Italian, French, and Mandarin. Here is the Spanish one! It's too fucking funny.
And also, here are the chords. I'm predicting this to be the new Since You Been Gone, so start recording your own versions now. Ya hear me Ted Leo? i may post my own version (which is fuckin hilarious)!
D hey hey you you i don't like your girlfriend D no way no way i think you need a new one D hey hey you you i could be your girlfriend
D hey hey you you i know that you like me D no way no way you know it's not a secret D hey hey you you i want to be your girlfriend
verse 1: D you're so fine, i want you mine, you're so delicious A i think about you all the time, you're so addictive Bm G don't you know what i can do to make you feel alright
D don't pretend i think you know i'm damn precious A and hell yeah, i'm the motherfucking princess Bm G i can tell you like me too, and you know i'm right
Em she's like so whatever A you could do so much better Em A i think we should get together now
and that's what everyone's talking about
CHORUS
D A Bm G hey hey you you i don't like your girlfriend D A Bm G no way no way i think you need a new one D A Bm G hey hey you you i could be your girlfriend
D A Bm G hey hey you you i know that you like me D A Bm G no way no way you know it's not a secret D A Bm G hey hey you you i want to be your girlfriend
verse 2: D I can see the way, i see the way you look at me A and even when you look away i know you think of me Bm G I know you talk about me all the time again and again
D So come over here and tell me what I want to hear A better yet make your girlfriend disappear Bm G I don't wanna hear you say her name ever again
Em because she's like so whatever A and you could do so much better Em i think we should get together now A and that's what everyone's talking about
REPEAT CHORUS

Rach's Story
A few years ago I worked part time in a resturaunt. Everyone was really friendly but there was one guy who I became completely smitten with. He was funny, he was charming, and rediculously attractive. One night after work we went to a club. We were standing at the bar when he leaned in and kissed me. It was the most amazing kiss ever, I just melted. A few nights later I was in a bar with my mates and I saw him. A smile spread across my face. As I went over to say hi, much to my shock and disapointment, another girl was on his arm! I later found out that she was his girlfriend of 6 months.
Totally crushed I tried to forget about him, but it was no use, I'd totally fallen for him. Although it hurt I settled for the 'just friends' thing in hope that he would leave his girlfriend.
I had all but given up until one day he appeared at my doorstep and grabed me and kissed me. When I pulled away he looked deep into my eyes and told me that he loved me and that he couldn't live without me. He said he went to bed dreaming of me, and wakes up looking for me, but only to find a girl he barely knows, despite being with her for a year. I was shocked, my heart was racing, and I could feel the tears stinging my eyes.
That was three years ago and we are now engaged. A few weeks ago he came running home from work after listening to the radio and hearing this song. he looked at me and said, "this is us!"
I love him more than anyone could love another person. Now, everytime I hear this I think of three years ago and how lucky I am to have him.
