There was a period when I love watching all Zach Braff movies and that's where I got to hear Joshua Radin. I love his music. Totally soulful and bluesy with traces of country folk. Most of his arrangements are what I usually like in music. Not too noisy but not too 'old". Just the right kind of vibe.
I listened to Jam 88.3 when I was in Manila and most of his songs were played a lot. I remember this station fondly. I used to win prizes by just calling the station to answer questions about bands they play. The highlight was actually winning a concert ticket to Jars of Clay right at the front seat!
Who doesn't like Joshua Radin right? His songs are sensitive, introspective and unpretentious. I was lucky to find this gem-with lyrics included!
Joshua Radin - Closer
So, we're alone again
i wish it were over
we seem to never end
only get closer
to the point where i can take no more
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one born to shine
i take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
all you have to do is cry
hush my baby now
your talking is just noise and won't lay me down amongst
your toys in a room where i can take no more
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one burn to shine
i take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
all you have to do is cry
photographs and brightly colored paper
are your mask you wear in this caper
that is our life
we walk right into the strife
and a tear from your eye brings me home
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one burn to shine
i take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
all you have to do is cry

Filipino Psychology
We pinoys are sentimental. That's what a lot of Western people observed coming here. They noted that there seems a lot of singing and also that we are so preoccupied with love songs. Well, I used to deny this about myself but now I realize that one can't get away from collective consciousness. You can't get away from who you are. We just love singing our woes away.
My Filipino Psychology course in college showed me how REALLY different we are.
Culture plays a big part in a relationship and sometimes this can get in the way. But we always try our best to make it work. In the end, we're all out there needing to be found.
