HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY TO ME:

HAPPY 2OTH BIRTHDAY TO RETROTRUT!!!

What's With Dido's Song "Everything To Lose" ?

At first, Dido is humming a lot. I think that means that it's a birth of a new song..........then she starts singing about her life story. From the looks of the song it sounded like she was busy travelling the world, Just like what she had always wanted to do. She started "...jumping out of planes...." means Skydiving. ". She loved to be alive and "She was not afraid to die" - I guess she was filled with confidence, probably too much confidence and I guess she's really in need of getting married. I don't think she wants to be alone in her life. She was sure that everything would be ok, if she didn't have to explain it all.
Then when she mentioned ".....It didn't matter if I ever made it home, could go to fast and drink all night and dance alone.....". I think she means that she might be in such a rush that she would sometimes spend her time drinking and dancing alone.
 "...I used to be thoughtless, so easy and free. Could walk away not thinking I had no place to keep.

No hand to hold, no one to bring down with me, I wouldn't see the worst and it only Hurts me..."

I'm guessing that in the past she used to be a spoiled person and she didn't care that even if she ran away, no one would help her out and she kept getting worse and worse.........I doubt that she would have been a spoiled person, she's too innocent :)

Then in the end she mentions in her song "....I've Got Everything To Lose, Since I Met You...". Either she found herself a husband and she has fallen madly in love with her and would probably end her music career and go living a normal life with her husband or maybe she met someone bad and that person is blackmailing her and probably losing everything in her life....Who knows what's up with her!

BTW these are what I think of this song and it might be related to her life.....More Music Coming Soon

Be sure to watch Sex & The City 2 to hear this song play in the movie!

This movie might end up being banned in the UAE and ALL GCC Countries because of all it's sluttish content! 

NEW Dido Song:

Yes, it's finally out now. Dido has finally updated her website and added the song "Everything To Lose".

I think that this is one of the most interesting songs ever (But it still won't beat her song "Grafton Street") and I have to admit it sounds kind of different for a change. Did you know, that Dido sang this song in her own Kitchen. Yes, her kitchen. I think that she loves to cook.....Just like me :)
Listen to Dido's New Song "Everything To Lose" here:

"Everything To Lose" Lyrics :

Hmmmmmmm Mmmmmhhhhhh Hmmmmmm Mmmmmhhhhhmmmm (x8)

I used to be so fearless, so limitless and free, Happy on my own and nothing bothered me.

I had to decided to see the world, jump out and planes and fly and I loved to be alive but I was not afraid to die.

I used to be so sure of things and self-contained, I could carry on, with no need to explain. 

It didn't matter if I ever made it home, could go to fast and drink all night and dance alone.

(I loved to be alive, I was not afraid to die)

(I loved to be alive, I was not afraid to die)

WHOA

(I got Everything To Lose)

I used to be thoughtless, so easy and free. Could walk away not thinking I had no place to keep.

No hand to hold, no one to bring down with me, I wouldn't see the worst and it only Hurts me

(I loved to be alive, I was not afraid to die)

WHOA

(I Got Everything To Lose, Since I....Since I)

WHOA

(Since I Met You)

I've got everything to lose, since I met you

Hmmmmmmm Mmmmmhhhhmmmmm Hmmmmmmm (x3)

I've got everything to lose, since I....Ohhh

Since I met You

I've Got Everything to lose, since I.....Ohhh (WHOA)

Since I Met You

I've Got Everything To Lose, Since I met You

Summer Vacation, What's Taking You So Long?

Man, is it me or are the days just slowing down? I think time has suddenly slowed down for a while and it has decided to teach us (Students) to continue preparing for the exams from Hell and other torturous stuff (Quizzes, Tests, Homework and so on). You know I just can't wait until the summer vacation begins.

So many things are going to be happening this coming summer vacation. Lets see The Sims 3 Ambitions is coming out on June 2, the TV show "Futurama" will finally continue their series, I will be turning 20 years old on May 21 (which is really soon), Many new blockbusters will be out this Summer (Toy Story 3, Shrek: The Final Chapter, The Prince Of Persia, Furry Vengeance and so on) and also during the summer I can finally relax by taking a long dip in the swimming pool as well as catching up on my movies and TV shows and continue installing my games on my Brand New Desktop PC.

Also I plan to throw an End Of Year Party during the Summer....Well I always tend to do that whenever I can. I love having parties......I'll mention more things about the party at some point this week. The rest of the information will be posted on Facebook to the people who have received the invitations. This is an Invitation Only Party!

Are You On The Guest List? If not, I hope to see you at the next Party :)

Retro's Interesting Music Videos Finds: Part 2 of 4

It's been quite a while since I last added one of these interesting videos that I found, but YouTube has been down across the U.A.E for the past couple of days. I'm not sure why, but now it's back up and running....so here is a video for everyone to enjoy :)

New Dido Song To Be Revealed Soon:

I was just on Dido's website, when she just updated it about a couple of hours ago and listen to what she said:
"We're very pleased to announce that a brand new Dido song, Everything To Lose, will feature in the upcoming movie, Sex And The City 2, which is released at the end of May 2010. The track will also be available on the film's soundtrack album.

We gave Dido a shout to find out a bit more about the new song:

Did you write Everything To Lose specifically for the movie?
A rough demo of 'everything to lose' was on a cd I gave to someone with a few demos of songs from the new album. The people doing the film heard it and loved it and so we had to suddenly finish it up in a couple of days last week to get it into the film in time. It's so exciting for me that people will be hearing it this quickly after I've done it and when it's still so fresh for me.

When/where did you record it?
Rollo, Sister Bliss and I all did our bits at home. I recorded my parts in the kitchen. It's a very easy and fun way to work and is how I've been making my new record so far. It challenges me more when I've only got myself to rely on when I'm recording on my own and I've been able to really go with my own instincts and experiment before anyone hears anything. I finished it off with my brother in the English countryside (hoping not too much bird and cow noise on there!).

Are you pleased with it?
I really am. It's a song that puts us all in a good mood. It's a true love song really, even though it's talking about that fear you can get when you actually really love someone and have finally got something real to lose. I love the sound of it and I've been having so much fun with working with Rollo and Sister Bliss on this album so far. I'm enjoying getting back to my electronic roots so much. Very happy! Hope you all like it too. "

How cool is that?
Extremely cool, Also if you check back on Dido's website, You'll find out more 

about it in a couple of days. I'll keep everyone posted on that soon!!!!!!!!

Announcement:

Dear guests,
                  There will be no updates for the next couple of weeks due to final examinations will be taking place and this means that there will be no time for the computer. So I will be updating my blog as of the 17th of May 2010. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I might update it whenever I get a chance.\

Retro's Second Blogger Anniversary:

Well as you all know, its my second year of being a blogger and I know that I haven't been doing much this year. (I blame my hectic schedule for that). So as of now I will be blogging as of this coming summer vacation, so let's just enjoy this year's celebration with some fireworks, because YouTube is down for some odd reason!

HMV Supports The Sims 3:

Pre-Order The Sims 3: Ambitions Now***

Proof found on HMV

 

Registeration icon in the PC Games section on HMV's website

This is actually quite surprising, I remember when my brothers used to complain a lot about The Sims in general. They used to say that "The Sims is boring" or "The Sims suck". Well I also remember that I used to annoy them by constantly playing the game (because I love the game so much, it's addictive yet intriguing) and I always talk about what I did in my game on a daily basis. I used to love annoying them, actually now I switched to bothering my friends about it. Yes, am I just evil or what? :-P
Well today I was busy checking my email and look at what I found on HMV's website, it seems that they support The Sims 3 in general. Actually The Sims 3 is quite popular on the internet as well as in several stores across the globe. In Dubai, at the Virgin Megastore at the Mall of the Emirates (not the Mercato, those people over there are Nucking Futs *switch the letters of those two words to understand what I mean) they have arranged The Sims 3 as the Best Sellers Games and the Virgin Recommends As well. How cool is that?!



***Sold at stores across the UK, not a 100% sure if they sell it anywhere else in the world because I haven't bothered buying anything online, I only do my shopping at the actual store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
