Thirty [30] Days of Me: Day [02]

day_02

What's the meaning behind your blog's name?

Lemme think...

THE NAKED LIFE is my way of putting everything out there (package includes: feelings, ideologies, and experiences). And contrary to common believe, not so much to do with me naked *LOL* but more of --and excuse the cliché-- the essence of my soul, more of me inside out; and not to be mistaken for the potion in Moste Potente Potions book which literally turns you inside out (ref. to HP and The Chamber of Secrets  :P  ).

Let me just clarify that when I say "out there", I mean out there like in out-in-the-wildness-of-this-beautiful-world-to-be-scrutinized-by-the-most-amazing-creatures-capable-of-using-the-internet kind of out there.  ;)

the sound of feelings

Someone said this once, "music is what feelings sound like"; and how right was that person? Pretty damn right, I'd say. Although the lyrics to the songs I've been listening to lately don't quite reflect my feelings, they have that mellow, nice, soft rhythm you just can't say no to.
this is how good my playlist is looking today:

here is a heart - jenny owen youngs

closer to love - matt kearney

she doesnt get it - the format

the first single - the format

sweet child o' mine - taken by trees (cover)

top of the world - all american rejects

on directing - tegan and sara

you make it real -james morrison

broken string - james morrison

nothing ever hurt like you - james morrison

once when i was little - james morrison

more than life - whitley

tightrope - janelle monáe (ft. big boi)

you give me something - james morrison

cooler than me - mike posner

on your porch - the format

where does the good go - tegan and sara

if we ever meet again - timbaland (ft. katy perry)

the fool on the hill - the beatles

It looks like JAMESMORRISON is the JACKJOHNSON of this month, really digging his "once when i was little song", but nothing like "on your porch" by the format, or "more than life" by whitley.
