No.1 of CCCP chart: Raise Your Glass by Pink.

The song connection:
Best song I ever heard in my current stage of life. The song meaning is just very sensible and fit to my situation. That don't be shy be who you are, don't scare about what other people think about you. If you think that is the right thing to do, just execute it! The song connect to my Halloween event, that I think I overact and later feel shame about what I just did. But when I listen to this song, I know the thing I do is right and it make me feel very good.



Lyrics:
Right right, turn off the lights
We gonna lose our minds tonight
What's the dealio?

I love when it's all too much
5 AM turn the radio up
Where's the rock and roll?

Party crasher, panty snatcha'
Call me up if you are gangsta'
Don't be fancy
Just get dancey
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never be, never be
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on, and come on, and
Raise your glass
Just come on and come and
Raise Your Glass!

Slam slam oh hot damn
What part of party don't you understand?
Wish you'd just freak out (freak out already)
Can't stop coming in hot
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now (so fuckin' on right now)

Party crasher, panty snatcha'
Call me up if you a gangsta'
Don't be fancy
Just get dancey
Why so serious?

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never be, never be
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks

No.2 of CCCP chart: Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner.

The song connection:
The event that my brother give me a "cool" shade for my birthday, and he say that the shade is represent and express you. The song it simply just about the shade but it say that how the teenager and the youth react today. And the song meaning is having a big ego is not always good.



Lyrics:
If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me

You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me

You got your high brow shoes on your feet
And you wear 'em around like it ain't sh*t
But you don't know the way that you look
When your steps make that much noise

Shh, see I got you all figured out
You need every one's eyes just to feel seen
Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are
Who do you think that you are?

If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me

You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me

You got your high brow switch in your walk
And you don't even look when you pass by
But you don't know the way that you look
When your steps make that much noise

Shh, see I got you all figured out
You need every one's eyes just to feel seen
Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are
Who do you think that you are?

If I could write you a song to make you fall in love

You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me

Now don't you dare act like you know don't know
Know what's up? 'Cause your nose is up
I'm approaching up, pshh, yup
Like I can't give you winter in the summer
A summer in the winter, Miami in December

Trying to look bored in them Diors, she probably is
Was acting shallow 'til she found out how deep that my pockets is
Mrs. pre-Madonna, this is your reminder
That I think you fine, but I'm finer

'Cause it sure seems
('Cause it sure seems)
You got no doubt
(That you got no doubt)
But we all see
(We all see)
You got your head in the clouds
(Clouds)

If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
(Under my arm)
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me

You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me

No.3 of CCCP chart: Lose Yourself by Eminem.

The song connection:
The passion of rap that I love is fit perfectly for this song. Lose Yourself express the feeling of the love for Hip Hop and Rap. It bring the heat and drop the beat as it encourage you to stand and show your Rap talent to the world and don't hide it. Rap is always (mostly) in the heart of people who love it.



Lyrics:
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

Yeah,
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

x2
(You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo)

This soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, homey grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
x2
(You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo)

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my nine to
Five and I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got

x2
(You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo)

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

No.4 of CCCP chart: USSR Anthem from Best of the Red Army.

Song connection:
The anthem of all anthem. The spirit of all people in the Soviet Union had put into this song. It very sad for me when the USSR had fall out and fail, but it all power and mighty will be last forever more. This anthem is the second most spiritual anthem I ever heard (The number one is Vietnam anthem).



Lyrics:
Союз нерушимый республик свободных
Сплотила навеки Великая Русь!
Да здравствует созданный волей народов
Единый, могучий Советский Союз!


ПРИПЕВ:

Славься, Отечество наше свободное,

Дружбы народов надёжный оплот!

Партия Ленина — сила народная

Нас к торжеству коммунизма ведёт!

2.
Сквозь грозы сияло нам солнце свободы,
И Ленин великий нам путь озарил:
На правое дело он поднял народы,
На труд и на подвиги нас вдохновил!


ПРИПЕВ

3.
В победе бессмертных идей коммунизма
Мы видим грядущее нашей страны,
И Красному знамени славной Отчизны
Мы будем всегда беззаветно верны!


ПРИПЕВ

(Best to my grandfather - his spirit always along with us and Vietnam)

No.5 of CCCP chart: War by Edwin Starr

The song connection:
This song describe the blank and nonsense of war between people. It remind me of my uncle and my mother uncle killed in the Vietnam war because they defense their homeland. It tell the war is good for nothing and only bring the long last pain to the human. We kill each other just because of conflict that can be solve by connection. War is only a heart breaker that human hate but we still creating our own pain.


Lyrics:
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all

War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives

War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives

I said, war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing
But a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it's got one friend
That's the undertaker
Ooooh, war, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away

Ooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way

Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it

War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing

No.6 of CCCP chart: What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.

The song connection:
The day I was born, a new wonderful world is waiting for me to explore and learn how to live. It describe the wonderful things that the world has offer us. But everything have two sides, the world also can be dangerous and full of harm things. But it give us the ability to fear, to learn things from failing, and to dodge and get up from all the trouble. The dark side of the world teach us many great things just like the wonderful side.



Lyrics:
I see trees of green.
red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you
and I think to myself
what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
and clouds of white
the bright sunny day
the dark starry night
and I think to myself
what a wonderful world
The colors of rainbow
so pretty in the sky
are also on the faces
of the people going by
I see friends shaking hands
saying''How do you do?''
They're really saying
''I love you''
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
than you'll ever know
and I thinh to myself
what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
what a wonderful world.

No.7 of CCCP chart: Stereo Love by Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina.

The song connection:
This song mostly connect about my parents more than about me but it make me remember about my dad and my mom. The song connect with my mom and my dad meeting each other on their first date in Europe while my dad was a exchange student from Vietnam to Russia and my mom while visit and research about the Soviet Union. They meet each other at the Red Square and they start to "fall in love". And this song is the near perfect picture of how my dad meet my mom, the only different is that they see each other in the extreme cold weather not under the warm sun. But it a remarkable memory about how my dad see my mom the first time.



Lyrics:
When you gonna stop breaking my heart
I don't wanna be another one
Paying for the things I've never done
Don't let go
Don't let go

Can I get to your soul
Can you get to my thoughts
Can you promise we won't let go
All the things that I need

(I don't wanna be another one)

Paying for the things I've never done

...to my love

I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside 2x

I can fix all those lies
But baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you

Oh baby I'll try, to make the things right
I need you more than air when I'm not with you

Please don't ask me why, just kiss me this time
My only dream is about you and me

Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside

I can fix all those lies
But baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you

Oh baby I'll try to make the things right
I need you more than air when I'm not with you
Please don't ask me why, just kiss me this time
My only dream is about you and me
