I remembered watching the video clip on MTV and I felt like dancing to the song. The first single to come out of Ne-Yo's second album. As you can see from the photo above, Ne-yo is responsible for his hit song 'So Sick' in 2006.
This number is catchy and last weekend's BB Weekend edition there was a small article about the single 'Because of You' and a review of the second album.
Was in a'Miri'ca last Sunday and I looked for the album. Most of the CD shops had sold out the album and I had only one more shop to check. I had the widest smile on my face when I had my hand on it. It felt like buying candy for the first time. Hahahaha.
The beat is so catchy and everytime I listen to it I feel like dancing. I wish I could but I would be embarassing myself. Hahahaha. I am happy to express my dancing skills within the confined walls of my room.
Below is the lyrics to Ne-Yo's current single 'Because of you'. Borrowed from [here]
[Verse 1:]
Want to, but I can’t help it
I love the way it feels,
It’s got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
I need it when I want it, I want it when I don’t
Tell myself I’ll stop everyday, knowin’ that I won't
[Bridge:]
I got a problem and I don’t know what to do about it
Even if I did, I don’t know if I would quit but I doubt it
I'd take another thought of it and I know this much is trueBaby,
you have become my addiction, I’m so strung out on you
I can barely move but I like it
[Chorus:]
And it’s all because of you[3X]
And it’s all because…
Never get enough,
She’s the sweetest drug
[Verse 2:]
Think of it every second
I can't get nothing done,Only concern is the next time,
I’m gonna get me someKnow I should stay away from,
cause it's no good for me
I try and try but my obsession wont let me leave
[Bridge:] I got a problem and I don’t know what to do about it Even if I did, I don’t know if I would quit but I doubt it I'd take another thought of it and I know this much is trueBaby, you have become my addiction, I’m so strung out on you I can barely move but I like it
[Chorus:] And it’s all because of you[3X] And it’s all because… Never get enough, She’s the sweetest drug
Ain’t no doubt, so strung out[2X]
Over you, over you, over you
Because of you,
And it’s all because of you,
Never get enough
She’s the sweetest drug, she’s the sweetest drug
This is a cool video I found on youtube. It may not be the videoclip to 'Because of You' but it has the lyrics in it which you can just sing along to it. Enjoy!

Music is a powerful tool in today's modern society. It plays a vital part in any society which is rich in culture. In Brunei we are fortunate to inherit a large colllection of traditional songs. Now my question is; How many of these traditional songs do you know and can you sing along to?
Everyday Sesame Street, Barney, Teletubbies, Hi-Five and other [pirated] VCDs and DVDs are taken off the shelves in the [pirated] VCD and DVD shops around the country to feed the minds of the new born and toddlers who are hungry for information. Their young minds suck in information like a sponge, which is why we have been reminded to 'watch your mouth' when conversing infront of a young lad or lass as they will digest new words like you would indulge yourself a piece of watermelon.
Kids nowadays are applauded for being able to sing and dance along to 'Sally the Camel', the latest Pussy Cat Dolls video clip or even Justin Timberlake's 'My Love'. But put in a CD of 'O Kanak Kanak' and what will the response of todays kids be?
If you are lucky enough - they mighy sit and listen. If you are not - just imagine the things kids will say? They will question you and ask you what is this they are listening to? They will demand 'BARNEY!!' - Why a big purple smiley overly cheerful T-Rex?
Spoiled? Go figure. I am not a parent yet, but I do hope to be one oneday in the near future, godwilling.
If someone asks me what will happen to our culture in the future? I would say, I wish I knew. At the current state, it does not look good. Just looking at one side of culture, Music, and you can imagine a lost generation.
Like language, if we do not practice it, we will lose it. Like music, if not heard, played, recorded, sang it will be lost.
Why not implement it in the system? The re-vamped Education system should include programs to instill pratiotic and nationalistic values to cultivate a sense of being 'Bruneian'. Media influences makes living else where in the world a much better option but they do not know that no where is better than home.
Where can you find these songs? You will be one lucky person if you find the CD sold in shops. But have no fear as it is just a click away to bruneiresources.com and you will find a link to Brunei music and you can download it and rip it so you can keep it for future generations. Do not abuse this and 'remix' it into a 'HipHop' song so you can make a name for yourself as a local artist. Just because Too Phat made it big with Anak Ayam does not mean you can do it too. Be Original!!
P.S: I do not hate or have any problem with nor do I have an issue with Barney, Sesame Street, Hi-Five or any other children related sing-dance show/program. I love Elmo.
