Replay Wednesday: Good Life

Have I ever mentioned that I'm a hardcore OneRepublic fan? Seriously, their music is crazy good. None of their songs have been able to disappoint me to this day. OneRepublic has produced amazing hit songs like Apologize, and Good Life is just their latest one. Every time I hear this song, I immediately start humming along. It's catchy, it's cool and its plain GOOD :)


Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, "Oh, got this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are God of stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

When you're happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it in

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh, a good, good life, yeah

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick

Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, "Oh, got this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh yeah, good, good life, good life, oh, this is

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are God of stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

Dare Yourself

I found this picture online yesterday and I think it sums up my bucket list quite perfectly :) The full list, of course, is oodles longer and you can find it on my About Me page.
Anyways...I wanted to share a little something that one of my friends [[her name's Weiqi, pronounced why-chi]] said yesterday..here it is



"Life is nothing without dares"


What she said really had a lasting effect. If you don't live life without daring yourself to do new and difficult things, taking chances, taking risks...then what life are you living? Push yourself out of your comfort zone, think outside of the box. Turn that ordinary life your living into something more special. Make each and every day you live worth living. 
Don't sit around waiting for destiny to happen. Make it yourself.

You've only got one life...why not make the most of it? :D


This song that I've put is not only a fun and groovy song to rock out to but it has a meaning. A meaning that many people ignore and don't actually realize is there. 
The message of this song is to never be scared of what could happen, be scared of what couldn't happen. Confused? Listen to the lyrics. Let them speak the story of the song. 

Seize the moment...don't let it slip away...



***This post is dedicated to my friend Weiqi :) Just because she loves the song "Hit the Lights" and of course, for giving me that inspirational quote. Love you lots!! :D
