# Don't know why_ Norah Jones

This one was recommended by +Gabriel Vuong (Darn! This guy has some good music sense) . It's the kind of music you would find at a decent coffee shop. It's soothing and relaxing. Her voice is lovely and somehow suits my tatse.

Highly recommended. It's even better when you listen to it while reading a book.

"When I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling in the sandCatching teardrops in my hand"

# Yesterday once more_ Carpenters

I first listened to this song in my younger and more innocent days. I remember listening to it in my dad's reading room. We also had a lyrics book which had this song in it. The page were opened so often that it fell apart and daddy had to tape it vigorously and eventually he gave up . Enough with that ranting about the past...

I recently listen to it again because it just somehow magically popped up on my YouTube suggestion section. I don't think I have to say much about this song. It's a classic.
Maybe because I want to see yesterday once again.

"All my best memories come back clearly to me. Some can even make me cry, just like before. It's yesterday once more"

# Never Be Alone_ Shawn Mendes
He was born in 1998. Darn it!
His songs are interesting. The same thing goes for this one.
The melody isn't tremendously impressive but the harmony is quite lovely. With the whistle, guitar and piano, it has that acoustic vibe which I adore.
And the lyrics is beautiful. Those words touched my heart. Perhaps because I'm living far away from my love ones.

"You'll never be alone.

When you miss me close your eyes I maybe far but never gone

When you fall asleep tonight just remember that we lay under the same stars..."

# My old story_ IU

IU's voice slayed. I listened to this song first when IU wasn't even a singer yet. I remember this song was listed in the only Korean songs CD of my dad. The original version belongs to Cho Deok Bae. It has an old, dusty sense when he sang it. Years later I came across IU's remake album and this song just happened to be a part of it. I love the modern touch but the song still remains emotional and satisfying.

Highly recommended even when you're not into K-Pop
